This Privacy Policy (this “Policy”) describes how we collect, protect, use, and disclose information and data collected and created in the course of your access to and use of our websites at www.CDNmeasurement.com and www.CDNkitchen.com (collectively, our “Website”), the CDN-STP212 mobile application and all other mobile applications developed for products we offer (collectively, our “App”), our services, and products. Our products and services including our Website and App are collectively referred to herein as our “Services”. Component Design Northwest, Inc. (“CDN”, “us”, “our,” or “we”) respects your privacy and recognizes your need for appropriate protection and management of your Personal Information (defined below). Your privacy is important, and we encourage you to read this Policy carefully to understand the information we collect and what we do with it.

Consent

This Policy constitutes an agreement between you and CDN. Please read this Policy carefully to understand our policies and practices regarding the information collected, and how we will treat it. By engaging, registering with, accessing, downloading, installing, visiting, or otherwise using (collectively “interacting”) our Website, our App, or otherwise submitting information to CDN, you consent to this Policy and the collection and use of information as described below. We will take steps to notify you and confirm that you agree at different stages of collecting information. If you do not agree with our policies and practices, your choice is to not interact with our Services.

Scope

This Privacy Policy applies to information that we collect:

When you interact with our Website.
When you interact with our App.
When you submit your information to us on or through our Services.
When you register with us.
Through email and other communications with you (including telephone calls).
Through third parties that we work with to provide our Services.
By any other means over the course of your use of our Services.

This Policy does not apply to information collected by us through other applications or content, including any other websites not operated by us, nor to information collected by any third party, including our [subsidiaries], affiliates, or third-party service providers.

Children Under Age 18. CDN products and services are designed for adults, not children. As such, our Services are not intended for children under 18 years of age. No one under age 18 may provide any Personal Information to or on our Services. If you are under 18, do not use or provide any information on our Services or on or through any of our Services’ features, register on our Services, make any purchases through our Services, use any of the interactive or public comment features of our Services or provide any information about yourself to us, including your name, address, telephone number, email address, or any screen name or username you may use.

If you believe we might have any information from or about a child under 18, please contact us at 800-338-5594.

Information We Collect

We collect two basic types of information:

Information that identifies (whether directly or indirectly) a particular individual, such as your name, postal address, email address, payment information, telephone number (“Personal Information”).
Information that does not directly or indirectly identify, and cannot reasonably be used to identify, an individual (“Anonymous Information”), such as your occupation and interests. When Anonymous Information is directly or indirectly associated with Personal Information, the resulting information is also treated as Personal Information.
Our Smart Probe™ Thermometer App collects the location data. The purpose of the app’s collection of location is for Bluetooth, and it is only stored in the memory, not retained, and not used for other purposes.

We may use Personal Information and Anonymous Information to create a third type of information: information about groups or categories of individuals, which does not identify and cannot reasonably be used to identify an individual (“Aggregate Information”).

How We Collect & Use Your Information

Information Collected Directly from You. If you choose to set up an account, subscribe to a service, register to receive catalogs, participate in contests, sweepstakes or promotions, or receive other services, we may ask you to provide certain Personal Information such as your name, shipping/billing address, telephone number, email address, payment information, occupation, interests, and other Personal Information for these purposes. Any information you provide is voluntary, but please note that some information may be necessary for us to provide you with certain services, offers and content on our Services. We may also maintain a record of your product purchases. We take reasonable steps to make sure that your contact information is accurate, complete, current, and otherwise reliable.

We use your contact information to provide you with the services you request as well as for analytical and direct marketing purposes, such as:

Confirming, sending, and tracking your order, subscription, or registration;
Communicating with you about your order, subscription, or registration;
Analyzing preferences, trends, and statistics;
Informing you of our new products, services, and offers; and
Providing you with other information from and about CDN.

Tracking Technologies and Advertising. You can set your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being sent. If you disable or refuse cookies, please note that some parts of our Website may then be inaccessible or not function properly.

- Google Analytics. Google has a browser add-on for opting out of Google Analytics which can be found here: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
- Do Not Track Signals. Some Internet browsers include the ability to transmit “Do Not Track” signals. Since uniform standards for “Do Not Track” signals have not been adopted, our Website does not process or respond to “Do Not Track” signals.

Those tools may be used by us and by third parties to collect information about you and your internet activity, even if you have turned on the Do Not Track signal.

We may use SMS communications to provide you with important updates, account information, or promotional offers related to our Services. You can opt-out of these communications at any time by following the instructions provided in the SMS messages or by adjusting your notification preferences in the App settings. Please note that standard messaging and data rates may apply depending on your mobile carrier plan.

You can opt-out of receiving targeted ads from members of the Network Advertising Initiative (“NAI”) on the NAI’s website at https://thenai.org/opt-out/.

Your rights.

CDN will fulfill your request to exercise any of these rights within 45 days of receiving a complete request. We cannot delete your Personal Information except by also deleting your user account.

Your State Privacy Rights

If applicable, state consumer privacy laws may provide their residents with additional rights regarding our use of their Personal Information. Please know that we do not currently trigger the applicability thresholds of current state-specific consumer privacy laws. We do not sell your Personal Information, nor do we process it for targeted advertising or profiling.
