We use our website https://www.pacificpile.com/, to keep you up to date on projects in addition to applying to be part of our team. This Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”) applies to, and governs, all Personal Information (as defined below) you provide to us, or we collect about you (“you,” “your,” or “user”) while visiting or using the Site. This Privacy Policy applies whether you access the Site through a personal computer, mobile device, or other device. This Privacy Policy explains how personal Information (as defined below) may be collected, used, and disclosed by PPM with respect to your access and use of this Site. Read this privacy policy before accessing or utilizing the site. By accessing or using the site you consent to the policies contained herein.
For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, “Personal Information” is information that identifies, relates to, describes, is capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular natural human person or household. We may, and we may authorize third parties to, create aggregate records from Personal Information by excluding information that makes the information identifiable. The Privacy Policy does not restrict or limit our collection and use of such Information, and we reserve the right to share such Information with potential partners or other third parties without restriction.
We may receive and store any personal Information you provide through the Site or through any other means, including when you request information from us. You understand that it is your choice to provide us with this information. You can choose not to provide such Personal Information; in which case you may not be able to access or use portions of our site or services.
Automated Collection: We may automatically receive and store certain types of information when you visit the Site, which may include the name of the domain and host from which you access the Internet; the IP address of the computer you are using and the browser and operating system you are using; the date and time you access the site; any search terms you used to find the site; the device identifiers and mobile and network information; your actions in connection with the site; among others. Note that this information will be treated as Personal Information only if we combine or link it to any of the identifying information above, or if otherwise required by law. Otherwise, this information constitutes Aggregate Information.
Cookies and Other Technologies: We automatically receive and store certain types of information when you visit the Site using cookies, web beacons, or similar programs to collect the information described above. Cookies are strings of text that a website may store on your computer. We use cookies for authentication, to remember your settings, to keep track of your activity during a visit to the site, to conduct usability tests, to improve site performance, and to implement certain features of the site.
The site creates session cookies for each visit in order to facilitate your visit. The session cookie expires at the end of the session. We may also use persistent cookies, which remain on your device for much longer. Cookies do not corrupt or damage your computer or computer files.
We may use analytics and customization cookies, including third party cookies, to gather information on how our site is being used by our users and to measure how popular our marketing campaigns are. We use the data we get to help customize our Site and products for you and make the content you see as relevant as possible. We may also use the data we collect to help identify and prevent fraud, and to track visits from our affiliates or partners.
We may use targeting/advertising cookies to help us to customize and regulate (e.g., by capping the frequency of) the advertisements you receive, provide you with tailored offers, and measure the effectiveness of our advertising. For instance, if we target an ad campaign through an online advertising network, we might use cookies on our site to estimate how many viewers of the ad later visited our site – and therefore, how effective the ad campaign was. Or we might “retarget” visitors to our Site by providing them offers (whether through online display media, email or direct mail) similar to those they viewed or expressed interest in during their site visits.
You can control the use of cookies at the individual browser level. If you do not wish to receive these cookies, you may set your browser to reject the cookies (consult the instructions for your browser on how to do this), although doing so may affect your ability to perform certain functions on the Site.
Our business partners may also use cookies on our Site for the same general purposes identified in this Privacy Policy, including to improve their own marketing, products, or services. Third parties may use cookies and other technologies to collect information about your online activities over time and across different websites. Third parties we work with may also use other “device-graphing” information in order to make inferences and connections about our customers and potential customers across various devices – such as mobile phones, tablets and browsers. These companies may, for instance, make inferences that devices seen at a common IP address are used by common users. Companies that we share information with may use the information we provide to them, often in combination with their existing information, to provide you with more relevant advertising. Please see the “Do not Track” section below for more information regarding personalized advertisements and your “Do not Track” options.
Web Beacons: Some of the pages on the site may contain electronic images known as web beacons that allow us to count the number of users who have visited those pages. These collect only limited information such as a cookie number, time and date of a page view, and a description of the page on which the web beacon resides. These web beacons do not carry any Personal Information, and you cannot opt-out or refuse them. However, where they operate with cookies, you can render them ineffective by opting out of cookies or changing the cookie setting in your browser.
Marketing emails: We may use third-party service providers to send our marketing emails. The emails may contain e-tags, which permits you to share the mail via social sites to which you subscribe. In addition, when you click on a link to the site included in the email, a persistent cookie is placed on your computer. This cookie is used to measure the effectiveness of our email marketing efforts, better understand how our users navigate through the Site, and enhance user experience. To that end, we collect a variety of information about how you interact with our marketing efforts, including how many times the email is opened and/or clicked, the browser type used, operating system, user email program, etc. The cookie set by our service providers will remain on your hard drive 30 days after the last time you clicked on the coded link in the email, or until you delete it.
In addition, the third parties that assist with our marketing emails may use pixel tags that help us send the email in a format you can read, to allow us to know which emails you act upon and to better target the content of future emails. We also use these tags to track the aggregate number of emails read and whether any of the links in the email were accessed.
Advertisements: We may use third-party service providers to serve and host our advertisements. You may receive our ads on these third-party sites. These third parties may use cookies to track the number of times our site is accessed and whether the site was accessed from the advertisement. You may opt out of receiving personalized advertisements from advertising companies that are members of the Network Advertising Initiative or who subscribe to the Digital Advertising Alliance’s Self-Regulatory Principles for Online Behavioral Advertising by visiting http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices and www.aboutads.info/choices.Log Data: The web servers hosting the Site may also collect “log data.” Log data provides Aggregate Information about the number of visits to different pages on the Site. We use log data for troubleshooting purposes and to track which pages people visit to improve the Site.
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Personal Information provided by you or obtained through the Site may be used by us (unless otherwise restricted by law) for the following business purposes, among other things:
