Personally, identifiable information may include, but is not limited to, your name, e-mail address, phone number, website address, and company name (referred to as "Personal Information").

We share Personal Information that Sites collect in the following ways:

• Third Party Providers: We may share your information with third party providers that provide services on our behalf. These companies may assist with marketing support, processing credit card payments, content delivery, email, providing sales leads, and customer support.
• Advertising: Based on cookies and other tracking devices, we may work with advertising companies to display content that may be of interest to you. Please see Cookies section below.

Log Data

Like many site operators, we collect information that your browser sends whenever you visit our Sites ("Log Data").

This Log Data may include information such as your computer's Internet Protocol ("IP") address, browser type, browser version, the pages of our Sites that you visit, the time and date of your visit, the time spent on those pages and other statistics and information as part of aggregated data.

We use third party analytics services such as Google Analytics and Google Webmaster Tools that collect, monitor and analyze Log Data. For information on Google's Privacy Policy, please view the following: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy.

Cookies

A cookie is a small piece of data that is sent to your browser or device by websites, mobile apps, and advertisements that you access or use. This data is stored on your browser or device and helps websites/applications remember trends. Like many sites, we use cookies to collect information. You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, if you do not accept cookies, you may not be able to use some portions of our Sites for security purposes.

We may also use similar technologies to cookies, such as pixel tags. Pixel tags are small blocks of code installed in or on a web page, application, or advertisement. We use these technologies to do things like help create a more personalized online experience and deliver relevant ads, that may or may not be tied to other online platforms. These tags can retrieve certain information about your browser and device such as: operating system, browser type, device type and version, referring website, website visited, IP address, and other similar information.

We use third party services such as Google AdWords and Facebook Boosted Ads that utilize pixel tags/meta tags. For information on Facebook’s Cookie Policy, please view the following: https://www.facebook.com/policies/cookies.

Security

The security of Personal Information is important to us and we carefully protect your data from loss, misuse, unauthorized access or disclosure, alteration, or destruction. You also have a significant role in protecting your information and it is at your discretion to share Personal Information on TRC Sites.

Although all TRC Sites have SSL certificates and use secure hosting servers, please remember that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. At minimum, we use commercially sensible means to protect your Personal Information; however, we cannot guarantee its absolute security, as we do not have control over viruses, websites and/or emails a browser may view.

International Users

Sites and associated services are governed by and operated in accordance with United States law. If you are located outside of the United States, you agree to use Sites at your own risk. By using/visiting Sites, you acknowledge that (a) the data protection and other laws of other countries, such as the United States, may provide a less comprehensive or protective standard of protection than those in your country, and (b) consent to your Information being collected and used as set forth in this Privacy Policy and United States law.

In efforts to help comply with developing European Union and Swiss data protection laws, the secure hosting servers we use are self-certified under the EU-US Privacy Shield and the Swiss-US Privacy Shield, as administered by the United States Department of Commerce.
