COOKIES AND OTHER AUTOMATED TECHNOLOGY

Like most websites, SRE’s Website use cookies, pixel tags, analytical tools, to gather non-identifying information from your computer or mobile devise and internet connection. We may combine this information with other information in our possession or that we receive from third parties to contact you about our products and services, including through email or regular mail. These technologies collect the following information about you from your browser whenever you access or use the Website.

Web Browsers. Like most site operators, we gather non-identifying information from your computer and internet connection of the sort that web browsers, depending on their settings, may make available. That information includes your Internet Protocol (IP) address, operating system, browser type and version number, and the locations of the web pages you view right before arriving at, while navigating, and immediately after leaving, the Website. Such collection helps provide information on traffic data and location data, date and time of access, frequency and other communication data, details of referring websites actions, and patterns.

Cookies. We may collect some information from you using a “cookie,” which is a string of information that a site caches or stores on your computer, and your browser provides to the Website, each time you submit a query to the Website. SRE uses cookies to, among other things, identify repeat visitors, determine the journey users take on the Website, and evaluate the effectiveness of marketing campaigns. Cookies also allow us to present information to you in a more effective and meaningful manner by allowing us to understand which of our campaigns or products or services may be most likely to appeal to you and present them to you automatically. You can choose to turn off all cookies through your browser settings. Please refer to your browser’s instructions or help screen to learn more about cookies.

Web Beacons. We use technology known as "web beacons" to collect web information, which is an object that is embedded in a webpage. It is usually invisible to you but allows site operators to check whether you have viewed a particular web page or email communication. We may place web beacons on pages of the Website. You may not decline web beacons. However, they may be rendered ineffective by declining all cookies or modifying your browser setting to notify you each time a cookie is tendered and permit you to accept or decline cookies on an individual basis.

Data Analytics. We may use third-party data analytics service providers such as Google Analytics to measure the web traffic on different parts of the Website in order to improve it. Google Analytics, which anonymously tracks users who have JavaScript enabled, uses technical tools like first-party cookies and JavaScript code to collect information about your interactions with the Website. The tracking information may include detailed data about what you do on the Website, such as the web pages you visit and for how long, and the websites you visited directly before and after coming to the Website. In addition, first-party cookies (such as the Google Analytics cookie) and third-party cookies (such as the DoubleClick cookie) are used to report how your ad impressions, use of ad services, and other interactions are related to visits to the Website. We use information from Google Analytics to administer and update the Website, assess whether our users match the expected demographics, and determine how key audiences are navigating the content. Google may retain and use, subject to the terms of its Privacy Policy, information collected in your use of the Google Analytics Information Disclosures and Sharing. Google Analytics offers website visitors the ability to prevent Google from recording, processing, and using the data generated by the Google Analytics cookie. You may opt-out by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available through Google.

Cross-Device Tracking. We use data analytics companies, advertising networks, or social media companies, and features offered by data analytics services or the Facebook Pixel, to engage in "cross-device tracking," which occurs when platforms, publishers, and advertising technology companies try to connect a consumer's activity across smartphones, tablets, desktop computers, and other connected devices. The goal of cross-device tracking is to enable companies to link a consumer's behavior across devices.

Social Media Plug-ins. We may use social media plug-ins on the Website from companies like Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and LinkedIn to enable you to easily share information with others. We use the information collected from the plug-ins to learn about your interests and to help us better understand how to serve you. This information may include your preferences about how to contact you or further develop a business or professional relationship with you, your product or marketing preferences, and demographic data. The social media plug-ins may allow these companies to receive Personal Data about you and your visit to the Website. When you visit the Website, the operators of the social media plug-ins place cookies on your computer that enable them to recognize you on their websites after you have visited the Website, or that enable them to add the information collected from your visit to the Website with your prior activity on those websites. We do not control what information is collected by the social media plug-ins or the information practices adopted by those social media companies. For more information about social media plug-ins from social media websites, you should refer to those companies' privacy and data sharing statements.

PERIODIC COMMUNICATIONS

SRE may send periodic communications to our customers and prospective customer and respondents to surveys or other submission forms for the purpose of distributing information about our products and services, company news and updates, promotions, and other opportunities. You may opt-out of receiving such communications at any time (see below).

We may provide non-personally identifiable visitor information to third parties for marketing, advertising, or other uses. No mobile information will be shared with third parties or their affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Additionally, we may be forced to disclose information to the government or third parties under certain circumstances, or third parties may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions.
