Coalfire Federal Privacy Policy

Your privacy and the security of your information are very important to us. This privacy notice discloses the privacy practices for https://coalfirefederal.com.

This Privacy Policy applies only to personal data that we collect on the website www.Coalfire Federal.com as it may be modified, relocated and/or redirected from time to time (the “Site”).  This Privacy Policy does not apply to any other web sites that may be accessible through the Site.

If you do not want us to handle your personal data as described in this Privacy Policy, please do not use the Site. If you reside outside the U.S., you will not be able to submit personal data through this website unless you consent to this Privacy Policy. 

Personal data means information that relates to you as an individually identifiable person, such as your name, e-mail address, and mobile number.

WHAT PERSONAL DATA WE COLLECT

Information You Give Us

We collect personal data that you voluntarily share with us through the Site. For example, we may ask you to register and provide information when you download free information, such as white papers and email newsletters, or if you respond to a marketing campaign.

Information We Collect Through Technology On The Site

We collect information through technology to enhance our ability to serve you. When you access and use the Site, Coalfire Federal and, in some cases, our third-party service providers collect information about how you interact with the Site.  We describe below methods we use to collect information through technology. 

IP Address

When you visit the Site, we collect your device identifier, browser information, and Internet Protocol (IP) address. An IP address is often associated with the portal you used to enter the Internet, like your Internet service provider (ISP), company, association, or university.  While an IP address may reveal your ISP or geographic area, we cannot determine your identity solely based upon your IP address. We do not link your personal data to device identifier information, browser information, and IP addresses.  Where, according to local law, IP addresses and the like are considered personal data, then we treat them as such.

Do We Use Cookies?

Yes. We use cookies on this website. A cookie is information sent by a web server to a web browser, and stored by the browser. Each time the browser requests a page from the web server, the cookie communicates with the web server. This enables the web server to identify and track the web browser.   We use cookies to help us understand how users use the Site. For example, cookies gather information about how long you spend on a web page so that we can understand what web pages are of most interest to users. 

We, or our service providers, may send cookies which may be stored by your browser on your computer’s hard drive. We, or our service providers, may use the information we obtain from the cookies in the administration of this website, to improve the website’s usability and for marketing purposes. For example, our sales team may use information about website engagement to determine the potential interests of a user who has asked to be contacted about our services. We may use information obtained from cookies to recognize your computer when you visit our website, and to personalize our website for you. For example, we also may use information obtained from cookies to tailor how the website appears to you (including the advertisements and offers you receive) to better match your interests and preferences.

We may use anonymous cookies to record non-personal information such as website activity, date and time of visit, and domain type. We may use this information for retargeting purposes. For example, when you visits certain pages on our Site, we can bid to display advertisements to you on various advertisement networks on the Internet.

Most browsers allow you to refuse to accept cookies. (For example, in Internet Explorer you can refuse all cookies by clicking “Tools”, “Internet Options”, “Privacy”, and selecting “Block all cookies” using the sliding selector.) This will, however, cause some features of this website and other websites not to work . For example, without cookies, a website typically cannot remember that you have logged in when you move from page to page in the website.

Service Providers’ Cookies

We use cookies provided by third-party service providers, such as Google Analytics, Pardot, BrightFunnel and Terminus to assist us in better understanding our Site visitors. These cookies generally collect data tied to a user’s IP address, such as the length of time a user spends on a page, the pages a user visits, and the websites a user visits before and after visiting the Site. For example, based on this information, Google Analytics compiles aggregate data about Site traffic and Site interactions, which we use to offer better Site experiences and tools in the future. Google Analytics does not collect any personal data (other than IP Address which may be considered personal data in some countries). You can obtain more information about Google Analytics here: www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/

Web Beacons

We include small graphic images or other web programming code, called web beacons (also known as “pixel tags”, “web bugs” or “clear GIFs”), on the Site. The web beacons are minute graphics with a unique identifier. They are used to track the online movements of Web users. In contrast to cookies, which are stored in a user’s computer hard drive, web beacons are embedded invisibly on Web pages and are about the size of the period at the end of this sentence.  

Your ‘Do Not Track’ Browser Setting

We support the Do Not Track (DNT) browser setting. DNT is a preference you can set in your browser’s settings to let the websites you visit know that you do not want the websites collecting your personal data.

We may track your online activities over time and across third-party websites or online services. For example, we might use web beacons to help us determine what links or advertisers brought you to our Site. We then track your activities on our Site. However, we will not engage in tracking if you select the DNT browser setting.

Information Third Parties Provide About You

We supplement the information we collect about you through the Site with records received from third parties in order to enhance our ability to serve you, to tailor our content to you, and to offer you information that we believe may be of interest to you.

HOW WE PROTECT THE PERSONAL DATA WE COLLECT

The security and confidentiality of your personal data is important to us.  We have technical, administrative, and physical security measures in place to protect your personal data from unauthorized access or disclosure and improper use. 

For example, we use Transport Security Layer (TSL) encryption to protect the data collection forms on our Site. In addition, access to customer information is restricted to authorized personnel only.  Only employees who need the personal data to perform a specific job (for example, a customer service representative) are granted access to personal data. Employees with access to personal data are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy practices.  Credit card numbers are used for payment processing and automatic renewals where applicable, and are not retained for other purposes.
It is important for you to protect against unauthorized access to your password and to your computer. Be sure to close your browser after you have completed your visit to the Site.

Please note that despite our reasonable efforts, no security measure is ever perfect or impenetrable, so we cannot guarantee the security of your personal data.
