Please take a moment to get acquainted with our policies and let us know if you have any questions.

We reserve the right to change or modify this Privacy Policy at our sole discretion at any time without prior notice to the users of the Site and your continued use of the Site following the posting of such changes shall mean that you have accepted those changes. When we change the policy in a material way, a notice will be posted on our Site along with the updated Privacy Policy.

You are not required to register with Pardini USA LLC or provide any personal information in order to browse the Site and learn more about the company, and our services. However, you may provide information to us through our Site by requesting information, sending comments, or registering to receive our newsletter or updates. This Privacy Policy applies to information that we may collect from you through the Site, and we describe below how we use personal data we collect from you.

BY VISITING OR USING THE SITE, YOU EXPRESSLY CONSENT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION ACCORDING TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH OUR POLICIES AND PRACTICES, YOUR CHOICE IS TO NOT USE THE SITE. YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION MAY BE PROCESSED IN THE COUNTRY WHERE IT WAS COLLECTED AS WELL AS OTHER COUNTRIES (INCLUDING THE UNITED STATES) WHERE LAWS REGARDING PROCESSING OF PERSONAL INFORMATION MAY BE LESS STRINGENT THAN THE LAWS IN YOUR COUNTRY. BY UPLOADING PERSONAL INFORMATION TO THE SITE YOU WARRANT THAT YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO TRANSFER SUCH INFORMATION OUTSIDE YOUR COUNTRY AND INTO THE UNITED STATES.

Children’s Privacy

The Site is not intended for children under the age of 18 and Pardini USA LLC does not knowingly collect any information from children under 18 years old through the Site. If the parent or guardian of a child under 18 believes that the child has provided us with any information, the parent or guardian of that child should contact us if they want this information deleted from our files.

What Information do We Collect?

Personal Information
When you register to use the site and create an account, or contact us with a question or concern, the personal information we may collect includes, among other things, your name, e-mail address, location, telephone number, and other information about your question or interests in the Site. If you’re visiting the Site on your mobile device, you may also choose to provide us with location data.

We use a third-party secure payment provider to process your payments. Your payment information is subject to the privacy policy and terms of use of Authorize.net. We recommend you review these policies before uploading any credit card information. Pardini USA LLC does not store your credit card information on our servers.

Website Visitor Information
Like most website operators, Pardini USA LLC collects information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request when visitors use the Site. Pardini USA LLC’s purpose in collecting this information is to better understand how visitors use the Site. From time to time, we reserve the right to release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its Site. Pardini USA LLC also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses and may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to the Site. For instance, we may monitor the Site to help identify spam. We also may use these technologies to collect information about your online activities over time and across third-party websites or other online services (behavioral tracking).

In addition to log data, we may also collect information about the device you’re using to access the Site, including the type of device, the operating system, device settings, device identifiers and crash data. Whether we collect some or all of this information often depends on what type of device you’re using and its settings. To learn more about the information your device makes available to us, please review the policies of your device manufacturer or software provider.
Except as provided herein, we do not collect personal information automatically, but we may tie this information to personal information about you that we collect from other sources or you provide to us.

How we use your information

We use the information we collect to provide you full access and functionality of the Site. Accordingly, your information may be used for the following purposes: (i) to provide and improve our services, features and content; (ii) to administer your use of our services and accounts; (iii) to enable users to enjoy and easily navigate the Site; (iv) to better understand your needs and interests; (v) to fulfill requests or to respond to questions or comments you may make; (vi) to personalize your experience; (vii) to provide you with announcements, notifications and advertisements related to your interests and use of the Site and other communications such as electronic newsletters, promotional e-mails or similar messaging; (viii) to provide service announcements; (ix) to protect against users seeking to hack into the Site; (x) to assess the level of general interest in the Site and (xi) for any other purpose with your consent.

With Whom Do We Share Your Information?

Pardini USA LLC uses the personal information provided on or through its Site in accordance with good commercial practices and applicable law. Pardini USA LLC does not share, sell or trade your personal information with third parties for marketing or promotional purposes.

Pardini USA LLC may make your personal information available to its strategic partners directly involved in the operation, performance, support and/or maintenance of the Site for fulfilling your orders, requests, or registration. For example, these companies may help Pardini USA LLC process information, deliver updates, products, process orders, or provide customer service. These companies are also obligated to protect your personal information in accordance with Pardini USA LLC policies and are permitted to use the personal information only to provide Pardini USA LLC with specific services, and not for any other purposes.

Pardini USA LLC may also disclose personal information as required by law, to comply with requests of law enforcement or other government authorities or where Pardini USA LLC believes it is necessary or appropriate to protect the safety, rights or property of Pardini USA LLC, its employees or others.

In addition, in some cases we may choose to buy or sell assets. In these types of transactions, user information is typically one of the business assets that is transferred. Moreover, if Pardini USA LLC or substantially all of its assets were acquired, or in the unlikely event that Pardini USA LLC goes out of business or enters bankruptcy, user information would be one of the assets that is transferred or acquired by a third party. You acknowledge that such transfers may occur, and that any acquirer of Pardini USA LLC may continue to use your personal and non-personal information only as set forth in this policy. Otherwise, we will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone.

We may also disclose your personally-identifying information if you expressly consent to the disclosure.

Storage of Data; Security

Pardini USA LLC stores your data securely, and we reserve the right to use a secure third-party data cloud storage provider. We take commercially reasonable security precautions with respect to the storage of your personal data that include administrative, technical, and physical measures to protect the security, integrity and privacy of your personal information against loss, theft, and misuse, as well as unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no transmission of data over the Internet is guaranteed to be completely secure. It may be possible for third parties not under the control of Pardini USA LLC to intercept or access transmissions or private communications unlawfully.

In addition to digital safeguards with respect to your personal data, to ensure that your personal information is secure, we communicate these guidelines to Pardini USA LLC employees and enforce privacy safeguards within the Company.

We Do Not Sell Your Personal Information

Pardini USA LLC does not sell or rent personal information that we have collected or retain about you to any other third-party for any purpose. Accordingly, we do not offer individuals the ability to “opt-out” of the selling or renting of personal information because we do not engage in those practices.

Our Data Retention Criteria

The period during which we store your personal information varies depending on the purpose for the processing. For example, we store personal information needed to provide you with products and services, or to facilitate transactions you have requested, for so long as you are a customer of Pardini USA LLC. We store your personal information for marketing purposes until you have opted-out of receiving further direct marketing communications in accordance with applicable law. In all other cases, we store your personal information for as long as is needed to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, following which time it is either anonymized (where permitted by applicable law), deleted or destroyed.

Cookies

Pardini USA LLC strives to make the use of our Site an easy and meaningful experience for you. Upon logging on to our Site, our Web server sends a cookie to your computer. Cookies are files that Web browsers place on a computer’s hard drive, and we use them solely for the purpose of keeping records and to save your preferences for the next time you visit the Site. In no way can they profile your computer system or gather information, personally identifiable or otherwise, from your hard drive.

Cookies come in two types: session and permanent cookies. Session cookies exist only during an online session. They disappear from your computer when you close your browser software or turn off your computer. Permanent cookies remain on your computer after you have closed your browser or turned off your computer. They include such information as a unique identifier for your browser. Should you have any concerns about our use of cookies, the ‘Help’ button on your web will usually provide you with a means of disabling them. Users who disable their Web browsers’ ability to accept cookies will be able to browse our Site but may not be able to fully enjoy or access all the features of the Site.

Our Use of Cookies and Analytical Tools

Cookies are text files containing small amounts of information which are downloaded to your hard disk or to your browser’s memory when you visit one of our Sites. Cookies are useful because they help arrange the content and layout of our Sites and allow us to recognize those computers or other devices that have been to our Sites before. Cookies do many different jobs, such as allowing our Sites to remember your preference settings and helping us to enhance the usability and performance of our Sites and your experience using them. Our Sites also may contain electronic images known as web beacons – sometimes called single-pixel gifs – that allow us to count the number of users who have visited specific pages. We may also include web beacons in promotional e-mail messages or newsletters in order to determine whether messages have been opened and acted upon. The type of cookie or similar technology that may be used on our Sites can be categorized as follows: Strictly Necessary, Performance, Functionality & Profile and Advertising.

Strictly Necessary Cookies. These cookies are essential for basic functionalities of the Site, and they enable you to move around our Sites and use their features, particularly in connection with information searches and order placement. Without these cookies, services you have asked for cannot be provided. These cookies do not gather information about you that could be used for marketing or remembering where you have been on the internet. Examples of strictly necessary cookies are a shopping basket cookie, which is used to remember the products that you wish to purchase when you add products to your shopping basket or proceed to checkout, a login/ authentication cookie which allows and manages your login to the Site and identifies you after logging in for a single session, a session cookie which is required to carry out the data transmission and provide the Site to you, a security cookie that detects repeat failed login attempts or similar abuses of the Sites. These types of cookies are regularly stored only as long as required for their purpose.

Performance Cookies. These cookies collect information about how you use our Sites, for example which pages you go to most often and if you get any error messages from certain pages. These cookies collect information that is used to improve how our Sites work. Without these cookies we cannot learn how our Sites are performing and make relevant improvements that could better your browsing experience. Examples of performance cookies that our Sites use include cookies from Google and Adobe Analytics (see further discussion below).

Functionality & Profile Cookies. These cookies allow our Sites to store information that you provide, such as preferences, and to store technical information useful for your interactions with our Sites. For instance, they remember your user ID and elements of your user profile. They also ensure that your experience using the Sites is relevant to you. They may also be used to provide services you have asked for such as watching a video or commenting on a blog. These cookies will not be used to track your browsing activity on other websites. Without these cookies, a website cannot remember choices you have previously made or personalize your browsing experience. For example, we use a cookie to store your language preferences, which allows us to present you with product search results in the correct language, and we use a cookie to store your choice about the appearance of the cookie information banner that we display on our Sites. This cookie will help us remember your choice about the appearance of the cookie information banner when you subsequently visit the same site where you made your choice about the banner and any other Pardini USA LLC sites with the same domain or the same top-level domain.

Advertising Cookies and Similar Technologies. These cookies or similar technologies may be used to deliver advertisements that are more relevant to you and your interests. They may also be used to limit the times you see an advertisement as well as help to measure the effectiveness of the advertising campaign. These cookies may track your visits to other websites. Without these cookies or other technologies, online advertisements you encounter will be less relevant to you and your interests.

Setting your cookie preference
You can usually modify your browser settings to decline cookies and you can withdraw your consent at any time by modifying the settings of your browser to reject or disable cookies or by opting out of specific cookies through the opt-out options shared below. If you choose to decline cookies altogether, you may not be able to fully experience the features of the Sites that you visit.

Our use of web analytics

We use different analytic tools which serve the purpose of measuring, analyzing and optimizing our marketing measures and provide you with customized advertisements that could be of particular interest to you. In particular, we use the following tools:

Google Analytics uses cookies which enable an analysis of your use of the Sites. The information collected (IP address, browsing activities and other data linked to your usage of the Sites) is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. You can prevent Google Analytics from recognizing you on return visits to the Sites by disabling cookies on your browser. You can opt-out of certain Google features using the Google.com website.

Google Tag Manager helps to manage website tags through a single interface. The tool itself (implementing the tags) triggers other tags that may themselves collect (personal) data. However, Google Tag Manager does not access this data.

Links to Third-Party Websites

This Site may contain hyperlinks to certain third-party websites. Pardini USA LLC is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of these other websites. Customers and visitors will need to check the policy statement of these other websites to understand their policies. Customers and visitors who access a linked site may be disclosing their private information. It is the responsibility of the user to keep such information private and confidential. We strongly advise you to review the privacy policies of any third party sites before providing personal information to these sites.

We have no control over, and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies or practices of any third-party sites or services.

Your Rights and Responsibilities

You are permitted, and hereby agree, to only provide personal information to Pardini USA LLC if such personal information is accurate, reliable, and relevant to our relationship and only to the extent such disclosure will not violate any applicable data protection law, statute, or regulation.

You may have certain rights under applicable data protection law with respect to personal information about you that is collected through the Sites or when you contact or otherwise engage with us. To exercise any of these data privacy rights, please contact us, or have your authorized agent contact us, in accordance with the “Contact Us” section listed below. In the event you submit, or your authorized agent submits on your behalf, a data request, you (and your authorized agent) hereby acknowledge and agree, under penalty of perjury, that you are (or the authorized agent of) the consumer whose personal information is the subject of the request. We will respond to any data requests within the timeframes required by law, and we may charge a fee to facilitate your request where permitted by law.

Marketing. You have the right to opt-out of receiving electronic direct marketing communications from us. All electronic direct marketing communications that you may receive from us, such as e-mail messages, will give you an option of not receiving such communications from us in the future.

California Privacy Rights. California Civil Code Section § 1798.83 permits users of the Sites that are California residents to request certain information regarding our disclosure of personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. Pursuant to the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018, as amended (“CCPA”), California residents may have certain data privacy rights, such as the right to be notified about what personal information categories are collected about you, and our intended use and purpose for collecting your personal information. You have the right to request access to your personal information and, to the extent feasible, request that it be transmitted in certain forms and formats. You may have the right to request that we (and any applicable service provider) delete your personal information. You have the right not to be subject to discrimination for asserting your rights under the CCPA. If you make, or an authorized agent on your behalf makes, any request related to your personal information, Pardini USA LLC will ascertain your identity to the degree of certainty required under the CCPA before addressing your request. Pardini USA LLC may require you to match at least three pieces of personal information we have previously collected from you before granting you access or otherwise responding to your request.

Do Not Track. Some web browsers may transmit “do-not-track” signals to the Sites with which the user communicates. Because of differences in how web browsers incorporate and activate this feature, it is not always clear whether users intend for these signals to be transmitted, or whether they even are aware of them. We currently do not take action in response to these signals.

European Union (EU) Privacy Disclaimer

You also may withdraw your consent at any time where we are relying on your consent for the processing of your Personal Data.
