  1. Tracking Tools, Behavioural Advertising, and Opt Out Options

4.1. Tracking Tools 

We may use tools outlined below in order to provide the Harker Herbal Services, advertise to, and better understand users. 

  • Cookies: “Cookies” are small computer files transferred to your computing device that contain information such as user ID, user preferences, lists of pages visited and activities conducted while using the Harker Herbals Services. We use Cookies to improve or tailor the Harker Herbals Services, customize advertisements by tracking navigation habits, measuring performance, and storing authentication status so re-entering credentials is not required, customize user experiences with the Harker Herbals Services, and for analytics and fraud prevention. For more information on Cookies, including how to control your Cookie settings and preferences, visit http://www.allaboutCookies.org. You can manage Cookies in your web browser (for example, Edge, Explorer, Chrome, Safari, etc.) settings, and you always have the choice to change these settings by accepting, rejecting, or deleting Cookies. If you choose to change your settings, you may find that certain functions and features of the Harker Herbals Services will not work as intended. Cookie settings are slightly different depending on the browser used, so to manage Cookies, you should refer to the program documentation and the relevant settings within your particular browser. The follow details the types of Cookies we use and why we use them: 

o   Absolutely necessary Cookies. These Cookies are essential to enable you to move around a website and use its features. Without these Cookies, services you have asked for, like adding items to an online order, cannot be provided. 

o   Performance Cookies. These Cookies collect information about how you use our Harker Herbals Services. Information collected includes, for example, the Internet browsers and operating systems used, the domain name of the website previously visited, the number of visits, average duration of visit, and pages viewed. These Cookies do not collect information that personally identifies you and only collect aggregated and anonymous information. Performance Cookies are used to improve the user-friendliness of a website and enhance your experience. 

o   Functionality Cookies. These Cookies allow the Harker Herbals Services to remember choices you make (such as your username or ID, language preference, or the area or region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features. These Cookies can also be used to remember changes you have made to text size, fonts, and other customizable parts of web pages. They may also be used to provide services you have asked for, such as watching a video or commenting on a blog. The information these Cookies collect may be anonymized, and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites. 

o   Cart Cookies. Harker Herbals uses cookies to help keep track of items you put into your shopping cart including when you have abandoned your cart, and this information is used to determine when to send cart reminder messages via SMS.

  • Web Beacons: “Web Beacons” (a.k.a. clear GIFs or pixel tags) are tiny graphic image files embedded in a web page or email that may be used to collect information about the use of our Harker Herbals Services, the websites of selected advertisers and the emails, special promotions or newsletters that we send. The information collected by Web Beacons allows us to analyze how many people are using the Harker Herbals Services, using selected publishers’ websites or opening emails, and for what purpose, and also allows us to enhance our interest-based advertising (discussed further below). 
  • Web Service Analytics: We may use third-party analytics services in connection with the Harker Herbals Services, including, for example, to register mouse clicks, mouse movements, scrolling activity and text typed into the Harker Herbals Services. We use the information collected from these services to help make the Harker Herbals Services easier to use and as otherwise set forth in Section 5 (How We Use Your Information). These analytics services generally do not collect personal information unless you voluntarily provide it and generally do not track your browsing habits across web services that do not use their services. 
  • Mobile Device Identifiers: As with other Tracking Tools, mobile device identifiers help Harker Herbals learn more about our users’ demographics and internet behaviors in order to personalize and improve the Site. Mobile device identifiers are data stored on mobile devices that may track mobile device and data and activities occurring on and through it, as well as the applications installed on it. Mobile device identifiers enable collection of personal information (such as media access control, address and location) and Traffic Data. 

4.2. Behavioral Advertising 

We may use a type of advertising commonly known as interest-based or online behavioral advertising. This means that some of our partners use Tracking Tools to collect information about a user’s online activities to display Harker Herbals ads to the user based on the user’s interests (“Behavioral Advertising”). Such partners may include third-party service providers, advertisers, advertising networks or platforms, traffic measurement service providers, marketing analytics service providers, and other third-party service providers (collectively, “Advertising Service Providers”). Other Tracking Tools used by our partners may collect information when you use the Site, such as IP address, mobile device ID, operating system, browser, web page interactions, geographic location and demographic information, such as gender and age range.  These Tracking Tools help Harker Herbals learn more about our users’ demographics and internet behaviors. 

4.3. Options for Opting out of Cookies and Mobile Device Identifiers 

If we process Cookies based on your consent (as indicated at the time of collection of such data), you have the right to withdraw your consent at any point in time by contacting us at contact@harkerherbals.com. Please note, that if you exercise this right, you may have to then provide your consent on a case-by-case basis for the use by us or disclosure of certain Cookies, if such use or disclosure is necessary to enable you to utilize some or all of our services. 

Some web browsers allow you to reject Cookies or to alert you when a Cookie is placed on your computer, tablet or mobile device. You may be able to reject mobile device identifiers by activating the appropriate setting on your mobile device. Although you are not required to accept Harker Herbals Cookies or mobile device identifiers, if you block or reject them, you may not have access to all features available through the Harker Herbals Services. 

  • You may opt out of receiving certain Cookies and certain trackers by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) opt out page or the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) opt out page, or by installing the DAA’s AppChoice app (for iOS; for Android) on your mobile computing device. When you use these opt-out features, an “opt-out” Cookie will be placed on your computer, tablet or mobile computing device indicating that you do not want to receive interest-based advertising from NAI or DAA member companies. If you delete Cookies on your computer, tablet or mobile computing device, you may need to opt out again. For information about how to opt out of interest-based advertising on mobile devices, please visit  http://www.applicationprivacy.org/expressing-your-behavioral-advertising-choices-on-a-mobile-device. You will need to opt out of each browser and device for which you desire to apply these opt-out features. 
  • Even after opting out of Behavioral Advertising, you may still see Harker Herbals advertisements that are not interest-based (i.e., not targeted toward you). Also, opting out does not mean that Harker Herbals is no longer using Tracking Tools — Harker Herbals still may collect information about your use of the Harker Herbals Services even after you have opted out of Behavioral Advertising and may still serve advertisements to you via the Harker Herbals Services based on information it collects via the Harker Herbals Services. 

This Privacy Policy does not cover the use of Cookies and other Tracking Tools by any third parties, and we aren’t responsible for their privacy policies and practices. Please be aware that some Cookies placed by third parties can continue to track your activities online even after you have left the Harker Herbals Services. 

4.4. How Harker Herbals Responds to Browser “Do Not Track” (DNT) Signals 

Some web browsers (including Safari, Internet Explorer, Firefox and Chrome) incorporate a “Do Not Track” (DNT) or similar feature that signals to web services that a visitor does not want to have their online activity and behavior tracked. If a web service operator elects to respond to a particular DNT signal, the web service operator may refrain from collecting certain personal information about the browser’s user.  Not all browsers offer a DNT option and there is currently no industry consensus as to what constitutes a DNT signal. For these reasons, many web service operators, including Harker Herbals, do not proactively respond to DNT signals. For more information about DNT signals, visit http://allaboutdnt.com. 

  1. How We Use Your Information

We do not engage in automated decision making. We may use information (including information that has been de-identified and/or aggregated) to better understand who uses the Harker Herbals Services and how we can deliver a better user experience. We use information, including personal information, to provide the Harker Herbals Services and to help improve the Harker Herbals Services, to develop new services, and to advertise (for example, to display Harker Herbals ads on other web services). Specifically, such use may include: 

  • Providing you with the products, services and information you request;

  • Combining information received from third parties with information that we have from or about you and using the combined information for any of the purposes described in this Privacy Policy;

Neither we nor the participating carriers guarantee that messages will be delivered. We may discontinue these programs at any time without notice. 

  1. How We Share Your Information 

In certain circumstances, and in order to perform the Harker Herbals Services, we may share certain information that we collect from you, as described in this section: 

  • We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We may share your personal information with our partners to customize or display our advertising. 
  • We may share your personal information and/or Traffic Data with our partners who perform operational services (such as hosting, billing, fulfillment, data storage, security, insurance verification, web service analytics, or ad serving) and/or who make certain services, features or functionality available to our users. 
  • To determine if users have interacted with content across multiple devices and to match such devices, we work with partners who analyze device activity data and/or rely on your information (including demographic, geographic and interest-based data). To supplement this analysis, we also provide de-identified data to these partners. Based on this data, we may then display targeted advertisements across devices that we believe are associated or use this data to further analyze usage of the Harker Herbals Services across devices. 
  • We may transfer your personal information to another company in connection with a proposed merger, sale, acquisition or other change of ownership or control by or of Harker Herbals (whether in whole or in part). Should one of these events occur, we will make reasonable efforts to notify you before your information becomes subject to different privacy and security policies and practices. 
  • We also may need to disclose your personal information or any other information we collect about  you if we determine in good faith that such disclosure is needed to: (1) comply with or fulfill our  obligations under applicable law, regulation, court order or other legal process; (2) protect the  rights, property or safety of you, Harker Herbals or another party; (3) enforce this Privacy Policy or other  agreements with you; or (4) respond to claims that any posting or other content violates third-party  rights. 
  1. Storage and Security of Information 

Please note that any information you send to us electronically, while using the Harker Herbals Services or otherwise interacting with us, may not be secure when it is transmitted to us. We recommend that you do not use unsecure channels to communicate sensitive or confidential information to us.
