Our primary purpose in collecting personal information is to provide a smooth, efficient and personalized experience for our customers. During your use of GatlinParc.com, you may be asked to voluntarily provide personal information such as your name, email address, postal address, telephone number, credit card information, measurement details, etc. It is always your choice whether or not to provide personal information. However, if you choose not to provide certain requested personal information, you may not be able to register as a customer or use certain features of the website. When you interact with our website, we automatically gather and store certain information about website traffic. This information includes Internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet service provider (ISP), referring/exiting pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data. We use this data to analyze trends, to administer the website, to track users’ movements around the website, and to improve users’ website experience. A cookie is a small file that our web server will store on your computer in order to recognize future visits using that same computer. We use cookies to enhance the convenience and use of GatlinParc.com. For example, by allowing our site to place a cookie on your computer, you will be able to easily retrieve the shopping cart you created during a previous site visit. In this case, a cookie will store useful information, including some personal information, which enables our website to identify you. If you do not wish to have a cookie on your system, you may be able to set your browser to refuse cookies. However, please be aware that if you do so, some parts of our website may not work properly.
Sharing Information
We take your privacy very seriously, and we are committed to protecting our relationship with our customers. We use personally identifiable information that you submitted as part of our own business, and that of third parties with whom we have joint marketing agreements. We may also share with third parties aggregate non-personal information about visitors to our website without restriction as to use. We may disclose your personally identifiable information to unaffiliated third parties to assist us in managing customer information, to assist us in our own marketing efforts, or to administer services on our behalf such as credit card processing or delivery services. In these situations, we do not authorize those parties to use your personally identifiable information for any other purpose. We may disclose your personally identifiable information when we believe the law requires such disclosure, in response to law enforcement requests, or as necessary to protect the property, interests and rights of Universal Windows & Doors, its affiliates and others. In the event all or a portion of the assets owned or controlled by Universal Windows & Doors are sold, assigned, transferred or acquired by another company, both personally identifiable information and aggregate non-personal information from and/or about our customers may be among the transferred assets.
Data Security
For your privacy and security, your account is protected by a password. To prevent unauthorized access to your account and personal information, you should take care to protect your password. We maintain your information on a secure server. When you enter sensitive information (such as a credit card number) on our registration or order forms, we encrypt that information using secure socket layer technology (SSL). We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, however. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Universal Windows & Doors may provide access to discussion boards or chat rooms on our website or those of social networking websites. Please remember that any information disclosed in these areas is available to the public. The dissemination of any personal information you provide via any linked sites is beyond our control and you should therefore exercise caution before disclosing any personal information.

In compliance with the Children’s Online Protection Act of 1998, we will never knowingly collect personally identifiable information from any visitor under the age of 13 without prior verifiable parental consent.
