Sharing of Information

There are, however, certain circumstances in which we may share personal information with certain third parties without notice to you including those set forth below:
Agents, Consultants and other Third Parties
We may use selected third parties to provide us with services or technical support for the website who may have access to your personal information. Examples may include fulfilling orders, delivering packages, sending postal mail and e-mail, analyzing data, and providing marketing assistance. All service providers are permitted to use data only for the purpose of performing services on our behalf. Similarly, we may share your personal information as required by law to protect our rights and property, or the rights, property or safety of others, including to advisers, law enforcement agencies, judicial and regulatory authorities.
Advertisers
We may aggregate your personal information with other users of the website, and disclose such information in a non-personally identifiable manner to advertisers and other third parties for marketing and promotional purposes. In these situations, we will not disclose to these entities any information that could be used to identify you personally.
Business Transfers
As we develop our business, we might sell or buy businesses or assets. In the event of a corporate sale, merger, reorganization, dissolution or similar event, personal information may be part of the transferred assets.
Cookies & Web Analytics
We automatically collect basic technical information from all visitors to the website through our automatic data collection tools, which may include cookies and other commonly used technologies (e.g., Google Analytics). These tools collect certain standard information that your browser sends to the website such as your browser type and language, access times, completion or success status of the request for a webpage or other on-line item, file size of the webpage visited and the address of the site from which you came to the website. They may also collect information about your Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, or click stream data within our website (i.e. the actions taken in connection with the website). This information helps us improve the functionality of the website.
“Cookies” are small pieces of data sent to your computer browser from our web server and stored on your computer’s hard drive. The data identifies you as a unique user and facilitates your ongoing access to and use of this website. If you do not want us to use cookies when you use this website, you can adjust your internet browser settings not to accept cookies. Your web browser’s help function should tell you how to do this. However, without these identifier files you may not have access to many features that may make your browsing of our website smoother, and some of our services may not function properly.
We may allow third party ad serving companies or ad networks to display third party advertisements on the website. Some of these companies may place a cookie in order to recognize your computer each time they send you an online advertisement. Thus, these companies may compile information about where you are using your computer, where you saw their advertisements, and which ads you clicked on. This information allows these companies to deliver targeted advertisements that they believe will be of most interest to you. We do not have access to the cookies that may be placed by these companies.

That notice will identify the categories of information shared and will include a list of the third parties and affiliates with which it was shared, along with their names and addresses.

Grid Tech may also use online survey instruments to obtain feedback on your experience with the website. The survey initiation pops up for a random sample of visitors, is voluntary and does not collect personal information. If you decline the survey you will still have access to the same information and resources of the Site as those who do take the survey. The survey reports are available only to the website’s managers and other staff who require this information to perform their duties. Grid Tech retains the data from the survey results in accordance with its data retention policy.
Social Media and Third Party Websites
Grid Tech uses some social media tools and websites to interact with its customers and resource partners. Social media websites are used to publicize Grid Tech programs and services and engage with members of the public. Grid Tech does not use third party websites to solicit and collect personal information from individuals. Any personal information collected by a third party website will not be transmitted to Grid Tech unless required for law enforcement purposes or as otherwise permitted by law. Grid Tech’s privacy and other web policies do not apply to these third party websites and we encourage you to read the policies of the third party website when deciding whether to use it.
Data Retention
Grid Tech may retain your personal information as long as necessary for the provision of the services, internal analytical purposes, or to comply with its legal obligations, resolve disputes and enforce agreements (e.g. settlement). The criteria used to determine the retention periods include: (i) how long the personal data is needed to provide the services and operate the business; (ii) the type of personal data collected; and (iii) whether we are subject to a legal, contractual or similar obligation to retain the data (e.g., mandatory data retention laws, government orders to preserve data relevant to an investigation, or data that must be retained for the purposes of litigation or disputes)
Website Security and Safeguarding of Information
Grid Tech maintains physical, electronic and procedural controls in accordance with applicable data protection laws and other pertinent regulatory bodies to safeguard personal information. These controls include computer safeguards and secured files and offices.
