Information We Collect and How We Use It

Our primary goal is to collect information in a friendly, customized, and efficient manner. We collect:

• Personal information you provide to us;
• Automatically collected anonymous data;
• Non-personally identifiable information.

1. PERSONAL INFORMATION YOU PROVIDE TO US:

Royalty Flooring may request customers who seek access to specialized content or services, register to use our Site, participate in discussion boards, or enter contests to provide personal information, including demographic details and unique identifiers. This enables us to offer a more personalized experience and verify passwords.

The personal information we collect may be utilized to advertise or market our business, promotions, or services, maintain accounts, and record transactions. For example, if you provide us with your email address, we may send you emails informing you about Royalty Flooring products, programs, offers, and services. You may unsubscribe from these emails at any time. (Refer to the “Choice” section below for more information on changing your email preferences.)

INFORMATION YOU POST ON OUR SITE

Our Site provides you with opportunities to share information such as free-form comments or product reviews. Information you post on discussion boards on the Site may appear in the public domain, such as through search engines or other publicly available platforms, and may be “crawled” or searched by third parties. Do not post any information that you are not comfortable revealing to the public at large.

SWEEPSTAKES AND CONTESTS

From time to time, we may request information from you in connection with sweepstakes and contests we offer on our Site, where permissible. Participation in these sweepstakes or contests is completely voluntary; you have a choice whether or not to disclose this requested information. Information requested may include contact information (such as name and shipping address), and demographic information (such as zip/post code, etc.). Contact information will only be used to notify the winners and award prizes. Royalty Flooring may co-sponsor sweepstakes and contests with other companies, in which case the user’s individual contact and demographic information is likely to be shared with these companies. If you do not wish to have this information shared, do not enter the sweepstakes or contests. While we require these companies to maintain the privacy of the registrants’ information, please be aware that we are not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage our users to read the privacy statements of each and every website that they visit. This Privacy Policy applies solely to information collected when you visit our Site.

• We have the individual’s permission to make the disclosure;
• The disclosure is required by law;
• The disclosure is reasonably related to the sale or other disposition of all or part of our business or assets;
• The party to whom the disclosure is made controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with Royalty Flooring;
• The disclosure is reasonably necessary for the establishment or maintenance of legal claims;
• The disclosure is to entities who sell or market our products, provided the disclosure is consistent with the purpose for which the personal information was obtained.

DATA RETENTION

Except as otherwise permitted or required by law, Royalty Flooring only retains personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, Royalty Flooring considers the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or processing by other means, and any applicable legal requirements.

2. AUTOMATICALLY COLLECTED ANONYMOUS DATA

Following standard industry practice, Royalty Flooring uses pixel tags and other methods to gather information about the emails it sends to registered Site users. Pixel tags are tiny graphic files included in HTML-encoded email messages. When such a message is opened in an HTML-capable email program, the recipient’s computer accesses Royalty Flooring’s email service provider’s servers to retrieve the pixel tag file, allowing the provider to record and store information. This information is used to optimize the delivery of future messages to specific recipients.

Royalty Flooring also maintains log files tracking IP addresses to analyze trends, diagnose server problems, and monitor traffic/usage to provide better service to clients and Site visitors.

Royalty Flooring engages with third parties, such as Google Analytics, to measure the use of its websites and applications, make improvements, tailor the Site and online services to likely interests, and conduct market research. Information provided to third parties does not include personal information. Users who do not want their use of the Site tracked should not use it.

Third-party service providers may serve advertisements on Royalty Flooring’s behalf across the internet. These providers may collect IP addresses and non-personally identifiable or de-identified information about visits to the Site to serve Royalty Flooring ads while visitors are on other websites. This information is anonymous or de-identified and does not include personal information. Third-party advertising websites, such as Facebook, may use tracking pixels to track the success of ads run on such websites.

Third parties with whom Royalty Flooring partners to provide features on the Site may use cookies to collect and store information.
