The PSSC Labs Privacy Policy is designed to help you understand how PSSC Labs (“we”, “us” or “our”) collects, uses and shares personal information.

This page informs you of our policies regarding the collection, use and disclosure of Personal Information when you use our Service.

We will not use or share your information with anyone except as described in this Privacy Policy.

How PSSC Labs uses Automatic Data Collection Tools

PSSC Labs web sites and applications use cookies, web beacons, device identifiers, IP addresses, and other similar technologies (collectively, Automatic Data Collection Tools), to provide and secure PSSC Labs web sites and applications, remember log-in details, collect statistics to optimize functionality, collect information on user activity in response to email communications and related to white papers, documents and other assets made available through our web sites and applications, and more generally to improve your user experience and deliver content tailored to your interests. Some of these Automatic Data Collection Tools are strictly necessary to provide PSSC Labs web sites and applications, while others are used to understand, tailor and improve PSSC Labs web sites and applications.

PSSC Labs also allows third-party advertising companies to use Automatic Data Collection Tools on our web sites and applications in order to understand how you interact with our web sites and applications, to optimize our advertisements and marketing and to serve advertisements specific to your interests on other web sites and applications you may visit or use. PSSC Labs may use retargeting and behavioral advertising technologies, a set of practices collectively referred to as “Interest Based Advertising” to tailor those advertisements to your perceived interests based on information collected through Automatic Data Collection Tools.

Automatic Data Collection Tools may also be used when you share information using a social media sharing button on our websites. The social network will record that you have done this and may use this information to send you targeted advertisements. The types of Automatic Data Collection Tools used by these companies and how they use the information is governed by their privacy policies.

When you enter your contact details on a web form on a PSSC Labs.com site, in order to subscribe to a service, download a white paper, or request information about PSSC Labs’s products and services, your contact details may be stored in a cookie on your device. This information is then accessed on subsequent visits to PSSC Labs.com sites, allowing us to track and record the sites you have visited and the links you have clicked, in order to better personalize your on-line experience, and future PSSC Labs communications.

If you choose to receive marketing emails or newsletters from PSSC Labs, we may track whether you’ve opened those messages and whether you’ve clicked on links contained within those messages, through the use of web beacons and personalized URLs embedded in these communications. This allows PSSC Labs to better personalize future communications and limit these communications to subjects that are of interest to you.

Choices Regarding Automatic Data Collection & Online Tracking. While PSSC Labs web sites at this time do not recognize automated browser signals regarding tracking mechanisms, such as “do not track” instructions, you can generally express your privacy preferences regarding the use of most Automatic Data Collection Tools through your web browser or device settings. You can set your browser in most instances to notify you before you receive certain Automatic Data Collection Tools, giving you the chance to decide whether to accept them or not. You can also generally set your browser or device to turn off certain Automatic Data Collection Tools. If you are accessing our web sites or applications in countries of the European Union (EU), or countries where the EU regulations apply, you are given the choice to accept or refuse our use of non-essential cookies (as described in the section titled ‘How PSSC Labs uses Automatic Data Collection Tools’ above) through a ‘cookie preference’ banner that appears on our web pages. The banner stops being displayed when you have made your choice, but it can be brought back on display by selecting the ‘Cookies’ link on the footer of every PSSC Labs web page.

Since these Automatic Data Collection Tools allow you to take advantage of some of our web sites’ and applications’ features, we recommend that you leave them turned on. If you block, turn off or otherwise reject certain Automatic Data Collection Tools, some web pages or user experiences may not display properly or you will not be able, for instance, to add items to your shopping cart, proceed to checkout, or use any web site services that require you to sign in.
