Special Note Regarding Children: Carnot believes that protecting the privacy of children on the Internet is very important. The Website is not designed to attract children under the age of 13, and Carnot does not intentionally collect personal information from such children. Ordering online products, services and information is limited to adults 18 or over. Children should exercise caution before providing personal information online and should discuss with an adult or guardian before doing so. Carnot also urges parents and guardians to consider using one of the low-cost programs designed to protect children while they are online.
Information Sharing and Disclosure
Carnot may share personal information about you with other people or non-affiliated companies to provide products you've requested, to target advertising and content for you to see, when we have your permission, or under the following circumstances:
We provide the information to trusted partners who work on behalf of or with Carnot under confidentiality agreements. These companies may use your personal information to help Carnot communicate with you about offers from Carnot, investments with Carnot, and our marketing partners.
Carnot reiterates that Carnot, the Website and all Carnot Services ares not designed or intended to attract children under the age of 13 as users and Carnot does not intentionally collect personal information from such children. However, if a parent/guardian permits their child under age 13 to register with Carnot, to use the Website, and/or to use the Services, then that parent/guardian is permitting Carnot to collect and use their child's personal information in the same manner set forth herein that Carnot uses any other user’s personal information.
We respond to subpoenas, court orders, or legal process, or to establish or exercise our legal rights or defend ourselves against legal claims.
We believe it is necessary to share information in order to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, violations of an agreement with Carnot, or as otherwise required by law.
We transfer information about you if Carnot is acquired by or merged with another company. In this event, Carnot will notify you, by a notice posted in this Privacy Policy, before information about you is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
Carnot may display targeted advertisements and content based on your personal information. Advertisers (including advertisement serving companies) may assume that people who interact with, view, or click targeted advertisements meet the targeting criteria—for example, men ages 25-44 from a particular geographic area. However, not all advertisements and content may be appropriate for you. If you disapprove of advertisements or content targeted to you, your only choice to prevent further such advertisements or content being shown to you is to discontinue use of the Website and Services.
Cookies
Carnot may set and access cookies on your computer. A cookie is a small data string our server writes to your hard drive. This data string contains your unique user ID for our Website. This technology also allows us to customize your experiences when you visit the Website. For example, we may be able to deliver content specific to your interests, keep track of your online ordering and alert you to new products.
Carnot may let other companies that show advertisements on some of our pages set and access their cookies on your computer. Other companies' use of their cookies is subject to their own privacy policies, not this one. Advertisers or other companies may have access to Carnot’ cookies.
Carnot collects non-personally identifiable information regarding your visit, usually in the form of cookies, log files, or clear .gif files. Cookies contain a session identification number that our systems use to recall previous authentication or order information from our servers. We may also collect your domain name, IP address, the address of the last URL you visited prior to coming to our Web site, and your browser and platform type. We may use third party navigation and localization services to target advertisements and content based on where you are located. We may use third party tracking services to help us analyze this information in the aggregate to evaluate the effectiveness of our site. In some cases, the information is collected directly by the third party and in others it is forwarded by Carnot to the third party.
A cookie cannot be used to access or otherwise compromise the data on your hard drive. Your privacy is always protected. However, at any time you may choose to change your browser settings to disable cookies if you do not want us to establish and maintain a unique Ping by Carnot website user ID for you.
