Use of your Personal Information

Blind Repair collects and uses your personal information to operate and deliver the Services you have requested.

Blind Repair may also use your personally identifiable information to inform you of other products or services available from Blind Repair and its affiliates.

Tracking User Behavior

Currently, various browsers (including Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Safari) offer a Do Not Track (DNT) option that relies on a technology known as a DNT header that sends a signal to websites visited by the browser user about the user’s DNT preference. You can usually access your browser’s DNT option in your browser’s preferences to set your preferences to inform websites that you do not want to be tracked. Our Service does not respond to DNT signals.

Blind Repair may keep track of the Websites and pages Our users visit within https://charlotteblindrepair.com, in order to determine what Blind Repair Services are the most popular and/or effective. This data is used to deliver customized content and advertising within Blind Repair to customers whose behavior indicates that they are interested and requesting from Us particular product or services information.

E-mail Communications

From time to time, Blind Repair may contact you via email for the purpose of providing newsletters, announcements, marketing or promotional materials, alerts, confirmations, surveys, and/or other general communication which may be of interest to you. In order to improve Our Services, We may receive a notification when you open an email from Blind Repair or click on a link therein.

If you would like to stop receiving marketing or promotional communications via email from Blind Repair, you may opt out of such communication emails by “replying STOP” or “clicking on the UNSUBSCRIBE button, or by contacting Us directly.

Payments

We may provide paid products and/or services within the Service. In that case, We may use third-party services for payment processing (e.g. payment processors).

We will not store or collect Your payment card details. That information is provided directly to Our third-party payment processors whose use of Your personal information is governed by their Privacy Policy. These payment processors adhere to the standards set by PCI-DSS as managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, which is a joint effort of brands like Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Discover. PCI-DSS requirements help ensure the secure handling of payment information.

Automatically Collected Information

Information about your computer hardware and software may be automatically collected by Blind Repair. This information can include: your IP address, browser type, domain names, access times and referring website addresses. This information is used for the operation of the Service, to maintain quality of the Service, and to provide general statistics regarding use of the Blind Repair Website.

Use of Cookies

The Blind Repair Website may use “cookies” to help you personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.

One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize Blind Repair pages, or register with Blind Repair Site or Services, a cookie helps Blind Repair to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the same Blind Repair Website, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the Blind Repair features that you customized.

You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the Blind Repair Services or Websites you visit.

For more detailed information on Our use of cookies, please refer to Our Cookie Policy.

Log Files

We may also log pertinent information about visits to Our site, to include IP addresses, browser types and language, access times, referring website addresses, pages viewed, links clicked upon, and other actions taken during use of the Site. This log information may be discretionarily used, but only for the purposes of systems administration or to report information in aggregate form to Our advertisers, sponsors, and corporate partners.

Links

This Website contains links to other sites. Please be aware that We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage Our users to be aware when they leave Our Site and to read the privacy statements of any other Site that collects personally identifiable information.

External Data Storage Sites

We may store your data on servers provided by third party hosting vendors with whom We have contracted in locations outside of Our direct control (for instance, on servers or databases co-located with hosting providers). Although We employ the most stringent of reasonable efforts to safeguard the personal privacy of user information on Our systems, Internet transactions cannot be made absolutely secure and are made at the users own risk.

Retention of Your Personal Information

Blind Repair will retain Your Personal Data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. We will retain and use Your Personal Data to the extent necessary to comply with Our legal obligations (for example, if We are required to retain your data to comply with applicable laws), resolve disputes, and enforce Our legal agreements and policies.

Blind Repair will also retain Usage Data for internal analysis purposes. Usage Data is generally retained for a shorter period of time, except when this data is used to strengthen the security or to improve the functionality of Our Service, or We are legally obligated to retain this data for longer time periods.

Security of your Personal Information

Blind Repair secures your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. Blind Repair uses the following methods for this purpose:

SSL Protocol

When personal information (such as a credit card number) is transmitted to other websites, it is protected through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol.

When accessing Our Site your web browser or application will be required to connect via SSL(https://). Currently, various browsers (including Chrome, Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Safari) provide a way (usually in the URL bar) for you to confirm this security level of your connection to Our Site as well as display the status and details of the Certificate provided by the Certificate Authority who has issued the SSL Certification for Our Site. Please refer to your browser for detailed information on how to view this information.

Firewalls

A Firewall is a network security system that monitors and controls incoming and outgoing network traffic based on predetermined security rules, designed to block unauthorized access while permitting outward communication.

Blind Repair employs multiple layers of both software and hardware firewalls to detect and prevent unauthorized intrusion to our Systems.

Anti-Malware and Anti-Virus

A computer virus is a type of malicious code or program written to alter the way a computer operates and is designed to spread from one system to another, able to infect and affect system performance, reliability and security.

Malware (short for “malicious software”) is a file or code, typically delivered over a network, that infects, explores, steals or conducts virtually any behavior an attacker wants. And because malware comes in so many variants, there are numerous methods to infect computer systems.

Blind Repair employs several versions of Anti-Virus and Anti-Malware softwares operating simultaneously specifically to help detect, prevent and/or remove viruses and malware.

We strive to take appropriate security measures to protect against unauthorized access to or alteration of your personal information. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet or any wireless network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while We strive to protect your personal information, you acknowledge that: (a) there are security and privacy limitations inherent to the Internet which are beyond Our control; and (b) security, integrity, and privacy of any and all information and data exchanged between you and Us through this Site cannot be guaranteed.

Sharing Information with Third Parties

Blind Repair does not sell, rent or lease its customer lists to third parties.

Blind Repair may, from time to time, contact you on behalf of external business partners about a particular offering that may be of interest to you. In those cases, your unique personally identifiable information (e-mail, name, address, telephone number) is not transferred to the third party.

Blind Repair may share data with trusted partners to help perform statistical analysis, send you email or postal mail, provide customer support, or arrange for deliveries. All such third parties are prohibited from using your personal information except to provide these Services to Blind Repair, and they are required to maintain the confidentiality of your information.

Blind Repair may disclose your personal information, without notice, if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on Blind Repair or the Site; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of Blind Repair; and/or (c) act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of Blind Repair, or the public.

Additional Privacy Considerations

Be aware that voluntary disclosure of personal information in a public online area may result in the collection and use of this information by others. Likewise, the user assumes all risk for disclosure of personal information in publicly accessible areas on Our systems, understanding that any such disclosed information may be collected and used by others to send unsolicited messages, advertisements, or for other purposes. Removal of information from the Blind Repair Site does not ensure removal of all copies, caches and archives. Once information is made available on the Internet, there is no way to retract it from propagation. Blind Repair therefore strongly encourages Our users to exercise due caution when interacting with areas not governed by the privacy policies applicable to Blind Repair specific Sites, Systems, and Services.

Blind Repair expressly disclaims any warranty that personal information cannot be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach of any or all of Our physical, technical, or managerial safeguards; and likewise assumes no liability for unauthorized breach of Our safeguards by third parties or disclosure of data due to errors in transmission.

The user is solely responsible for maintaining the secrecy of any user identification and password information used to register with, and should always be careful and responsible in disclosure of information online.

Right to Deletion

Subject to certain exceptions set out below, on receipt of a verifiable request from you, We will:

Delete your personal information from Our records; and
Direct any service providers to delete your personal information from their records.
Please note that We may not be able to comply with requests to delete your personal information if it is necessary to:
Complete the transaction for which the personal information was collected, fulfill the terms of a written warranty or product recall conducted in accordance with federal law, provide a good or service requested by you, or reasonably anticipated within the context of Our ongoing business relationship with you, or otherwise perform a contract between you and us;
Detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity; or prosecute those responsible for that activity;

Comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act;

Comply with an existing legal obligation; or
Otherwise use your personal information, internally, in a lawful manner that is compatible with the context in which you provided the information.
