Effective Date: August 26, 2021
This privacy statement is designed to provide information about Bound To Tech’s (“Bound To Tech”, “boundtotech.com”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) privacy and data collection practices. This privacy policy does not apply to sites maintained by other companies or organizations to which we may link or who may link to us. We are not responsible for the actions and privacy policies of third-party websites.
Information We Collect
We only collect information about you if we have a reason to do so — for example, to help you quickly find services or information on our site, create and deliver content most relevant to you, serve advertisement, and communicate with you. The information we collect is divided into two categories: Personal and Non-personal identification information.
Personal Identification Information
We may collect personal identification information from Users in a variety of ways, including, but not limited to, when Users visit our site, subscribe to the newsletter, fill out a form, and in connection with other activities, services, features, or resources we make available on our site. Users may be asked for, as appropriate, their name and email address. We may store the IP addresses on our server. Users may visit our Site without sharing their name, email address, but the IP addresses are always collected and stored. We will collect personal identification information such as names and email addresses from Users only if they voluntarily submit such information. Users can always refuse to supply personal identification information except for the IP address. If users refuse to supply personal identification information, it may prevent them from engaging in certain site-related activities such as newsletter signup, which requires a valid email address.
Non-personal Identification Information
We may collect non-personal identification information about Users whenever they interact with our Site. The non-personal identification information may include the browser name, the type of computer or mobile device, and technical information about the User’s means of connection to our Site, such as the operating system and the internet service providers utilized, and other similar information including IP address.
Cookies
Our Site may use “cookies” to enhance the User experience. The cookies are placed in the user’s web browser for record-keeping purposes, tracking the user’s usage of our Site and sometimes tracking non-personal information about them. The user may choose to set their web browser to refuse cookies. If they do so, note that some parts of the Site may not function properly.
We may use third-party advertising companies to serve ads when you visit our Web Site, and they may deploy cookies in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you.
Contact Forms
When you fill out a contact form on boundtotech.com we only collect the information you enter into the contact form. If the form asks for your name, email address, or any other personal information, then that information is sent to us via email. We only retain that information—including your email address—for as long as necessary to address your purpose in contacting us.
We do not ever use email addresses provided in contact forms for any purpose other than to reply to you regarding your reason for contacting us. Furthermore, we never sell information from contact forms to any third parties for any purpose.
Advertising
Ads appearing on our site may be delivered to Users by advertising partners, who may set cookies. These cookies allow the ad server to recognize your computer each time they send you an online advertisement to compile non-personal identification information about you or others who use your computer. This information allows Ad Networks to, among other things, deliver targeted advertisements that they believe will be of most interest to you. This privacy policy does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers.
Analytics
As you use this Website, we use Google Analytics as our automated data collection tool to collect certain information about your device, browsing actions, and patterns. The information generally includes where you are, how you use our Website, and any communications between your computer and our Website. Among other things, we will collect data about the type of computer you use, your internet connection, your operating system, and your browser type.
We collect this data for statistical purposes, and we don’t collect personal information. The purpose of this data is to improve our Website and offerings.
If you wish to opt-out of Google Analytics so that none of your information is collected and stored by Google Analytics, you can download and install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. For more information on how Google Analytics collects and uses your data, you can access Google’s Privacy & Terms and Google Analytics’ data safeguarding practices.
Comments
Bound To Tech is using the Disqus commenting system. Disqus only obtains consent from users for the collection and processing of data necessary for the use of Disqus. If you leave a comment on the site, Disqus may require you to create a Disqus account and store some data about you. For more information on how Disqus collects and uses your data, please read their privacy policy.
Embedded Content From Other Websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos from sites like YouTube, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves exactly as if the visitor has visited the other website. However, these websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracing your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Who we share your data with
Our Services work with third parties, including advertising companies and website analysis firms, who use cookies to collect information when visiting our website and other third-party sites. The information they collect may include your IP address, browser and operating system name, and type of computer or mobile device. This information, collected through cookies, is typically used by these third-party advertising networks to serve you with advertisements tailored to meet your preferences and likely interests.

Although most changes are likely to be minor, Bound To Tech may change its Privacy Policy from time to time and at Bound To Tech’s sole discretion. We encourage Users to frequently check this page for any changes to stay informed about how we are helping to protect the personal information we collect.
