Effective Date: November 16, 2023
Here at King Metal Industries, we share your concerns regarding the privacy and safeguarding of your personal information. This Privacy Policy outlines the actions we’ve taken and our procedures in place to protect your Personal Information (as defined below).
This Privacy Policy pertains to King Metal Industries (collectively referred to as “King Metal Industries” or “our,” “we,” or “us”). The contents of this Privacy Policy are designed to be comprehended and adhered to in alignment with all pertinent privacy laws, statutes, and regulations within the regions where King Metal Industries operates.
If you haven’t already, we encourage you to acquaint yourself with this Privacy Policy before utilizing the King Metal Industries website. The intention of this Privacy Policy is to educate our visitors, guests, job applicants, customers, and other individuals we interact with (“you” and “your”) about how we amass, use, share, and safeguard Personal Information. This Privacy Policy applies to the compilation, utilization, sharing, and protection of your Personal Information by King Metal Industries.
Defining Personal Information
Personal Information encompasses details about an identifiable person, including but not confined to data like your name, address, birth date, and personal contact specifics, as well as other details described below. It may also encompass other forms of technical data such as IP addresses, geolocation, device ID, or browsing history tied to our Website, yet solely when such data can single you out as an individual. Information that’s aggregated and can’t be linked to an identifiable person isn’t regarded as Personal Information.
King Metal Industries has the potential to amass the ensuing Personal Information that you directly offer to us:
- Contact Details that you might extend through telephone, email, SMS, social media, or any other electronic avenue of communication (such as name, home address, home or mobile phone number, or email address);
- Preferences and other Personal Information disclosed by you via our Website;
Automatically Collected Personal Information
In select instances, we have the potential to automatically accumulate information, which may not inherently pinpoint you as an individual.
- Technical Data. Internet browsing’s inherent nature passively and autonomously gathers and discloses specific details about an individual’s internet usage. This data might be linked with an individual’s Internet Protocol (“IP”) address. This distinctive internet “identifier” is assigned to all internet users by their Internet Service Provider (“ISP”). Our server logs document statistical insights, encompassing visitors’ IP addresses, operating system types, visit timeframes and durations, requested webpages, along with categorizing visitors based on identifiers like domains and browser types.
- Our Website employs both “sessional” and “persistent” cookies or similar technologies. Web servers provide small text files to your computer to monitor browser configurations while navigating the site. Persistent cookies reside on your hard drive, whereas sessional cookies are stored in temporary (cache) memory and are eradicated upon browser closure or system shutdown. We utilize these cookies or akin technologies to store preferences, record session particulars such as language preferences, note user-specific data on accessed pages, cultivate insights into preferences and interests, alert you to potentially engaging areas upon your return, record past activities to enhance future service, regulate banner ad rotation to prevent repetitive displays, and tailor content grounded on browser type or other particulars you provide. For every visit to our Website, our server might leverage cookies or similar technologies to recognize you if you’ve expressed a preference for automatic login. Adjusting your browser settings can disable cookies; consult your browser’s help section for guidance on disabling. Be aware that disabling cookies might limit some features of our Website’s functionality.
- Interest-Based Advertising. Our Website additionally employs cookies and similar tools for personalized interest-based advertising intents. These tools and cookies could be installed either by us or our advertising affiliates. As you employ our Website, we amass details concerning your device, including (where applicable) your Internet, telecom, or mobile carrier, service provider, IP address, device ID, visit date and time, accessed webpage sections, and the URLs that directed you to our site. Opting out of third-party interest-based advertising may not halt these technologies from gathering data for alternative functions, like analytics. Consequently, you could still encounter internet-wide ads, albeit devoid of targeting according to your data, possibly rendering them less pertinent to your preferences. Interest-based advertising opt-outs function by preserving cookies in your browser, conveying your opt-out choice to diverse ad associates. Given that cookies are predominantly tied to specific browsers, your choice only impacts the browser where you’ve opted out. To avoid interest-based advertising, you must execute opt-outs within every browser that you prefer not to have interest-based advertising (this might encompass various devices if you employ more than one).
