WHAT INFORMATION IS COLLECTED​

​

Personal, Sensitive, or Confidential Information.  Personal information refers to information that lets us know the specifics of who you are. Personal information is requested when you order a service, register for an account and send us feedback.  For example, this information might include your name, address (both billing and registered), email address, industry and product details, and credit card or other payment information. Such information may be held on our contacts and administration databases either because of the work we have done with you or are currently engaged in, or because we believe you might be interested in receiving material from us about our business, products, programs and services.  This allows us to manage our relationship with you efficiently, improve our site and the services which we offer to you and to target items of interest we may send to you.  We may also use third-party credit card processing systems to process payments.

 

The voluntary disclosure of sensitive information or confidential information to the Wayback, whether solicited or unsolicited, via physical or electronic means constitutes your consent to the collection and disclosure of the information by the Wayback for the purposes for which the information was disclosed to the Wayback, as was reasonably ascertainable from the nature and terms of the disclosure, including collection and disclosure for the purpose of validating your identity and compliance with all contracts by and between you and the Wayback.

These scripts do not collect sensitive information or confidential information about you.

 

Cookies, Pixels, and Other Digital Tracking Technologies.  To better serve you, our website may use cookies to enhance or customize your visit to the site.  Cookies do not contain your sensitive information or confidential information.  If, however, you have created a user identity, for example, by signing up to use a password-protected area on one of our sites, we may link the information we collect using web technologies to other information that identifies you personally.  If you do not wish to receive cookies, you may set your browser to reject cookies or to alert you when a cookie is placed on your computer.

We do not control these third parties' tracking technologies or how they may be used.

 

Facebook provides certain features and tools, such as pixels, SDKs, and APIs that can send your browsing data to Facebook, including pages you visit and actions you take while on our website.  This tool allows us to personalize our ads based on the content you viewed on our site.  We may also use Facebook technology to deliver interest-based ads using lists of email addresses that we have collected at our website.  We update these lists periodically so that we do not intentionally target our ads to users who have opted out of emails from the Wayback.

 

Email.  If you communicate with the Wayback by sending an email, your email address may be retained for further communication with you in connection with processing your request or as provided by law.  Do not send any sensitive or confidential information in the body of, or as an attachment to, an electronic mail message unless the data is adequately encrypted.  Data sent via email is not inherently secured or encrypted.  Any information contained in an email message or attachment may be retained and stored by the Wayback and may be provided to others pursuant to these policies and to better serve your needs.  In addition, the Wayback collects the email addresses of those individuals who voluntarily provide their email address on our website and on other platforms, such as Facebook.

 

Further, email addresses and other volunteered information may be used to send news, notices, and other information to those who request it.  Email addresses may also be used to serve interest-based ads on other platforms, such as Facebook.  We may use third party e-mail services to communicate with our users and customers.

Proposed links will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.  We will remove or disallow links to external servers if we become aware that they are not managed in a professional manner, not operational and available most of the time, not kept up-to-date, provide inaccurate information or contain unlawful or inappropriate content. We will also remove a link if the owner of the website objects to such link.

 

We reserve the right to refuse to allow a link to be established to any website that contains material that may be deemed to be offensive or inappropriate as determined by our sole judgment and discretion.
