Information We Automatically Collect From You
We may automatically collect information about your interactions with our Services and may combine this information with other information about you in order to customize your online experience with us. The information we automatically collect may include your IP address, referring URLs, browser and device characteristics, browsing behavior (e.g., date and time of visit, length of visit, clicks on product information or other content) and your response to our email campaigns (e.g., whether and when you open our email, the links you click). We may use cookies, and other similar industry standard technologies to capture this information. A “cookie” is a small amount of data that is sent to your browser from a web server and stored on your computer or device. Among other things, cookies allow us to facilitate the administration and improve the effectiveness of our Services as well as further tailor and enhance your experience to your interests. You may set your browser to decline cookies. If you do so, you may not be able to experience certain interactive features of our Services fully.
We may also use third-party analytics companies, such as Google Analytics, Adobe Analytics or Amazon Web Services (“AWS”), among others, to analyze the usage of our Services for internal purposes. These analytics companies may use cookies and other tracking mechanisms to collect data about how you use our Services and provide us with aggregate information on such usage, which helps us improve the performance of our Services. Please review Google’s privacy policy, Adobe’s privacy policy, or AWS Privacy to learn more about each company’s privacy practices.
We may also permit other third parties to gather information automatically on our Services for advertising purposes, as described below in Interest-Based Advertising.
Interest-Based Advertising
We may allow third parties to use cookies and other online tracking tools to better understand your behavior and browsing activities, so that we can provide you with targeted advertising (also referred to as “interest-based advertising”) while utilizing our Services and display our ads to you when you visit other sites. These third parties may passively collect information with these tools so that content specific to your interests can be delivered to you online.
You can prevent your receipt of interest-based ads by deleting and declining cookies in your browser. If you block cookies, certain features on our Sites may not work. Please note that cookie-based opt-outs are not effective in mobile applications. However, on many mobile devices, application users may opt-out of certain mobile ads via their device settings.
Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” feature that lets you tell websites that you do not want to have your online activities tracked. Our Services do not currently take actions to respond to Do Not Track signals because a uniform technological standard has not yet been developed. We continue to review new technologies and may adopt a standard once one is created.
Surveys

You may be given opportunities to rate Momtech products and to publicly ask and answer questions pertaining to Momtech products.
