Cookies and Other Data Collection Technologies

When you visit our Site, we collect certain information by automated means, using technologies such as cookies, pixel tags, browser analysis tools, server logs and web beacons.

Cookies are small text files that websites send to your computer or other internet-connected device to uniquely identify your browser or to store data or settings in your browser. Cookies allow use to recognize you when you return. They also help us provide a customized experience and enable us to detect certain kinds of fraud.

Pixel tags and web beacons are tiny graphic images placed on website pages or in our emails that allow us to determine whether you have performed a specific action. When you access these pages or open or click an email, the pixel tags and web beacons generate a notice of that action. These tools allow us to measure response to our communications and improve our web pages and promotions.

We collect many different types of information from cookies and other technologies. For example, we may collect information about the device you use to access our website, your operating system type, browser type, domain, and other system settings, as well as the language your system uses and the country and time zone where your device is located. Our server logs also record the IP address of the device you use to connect to the internet. An IP address is a unique identifier that devices use to identify and communicate with each other on the internet.

In many cases, the information we collect using cookies and other tools is only used in a non-identifiable way, without any reference to personal information. For example, we use data we collect about all website users to optimize our website(s) and to understand website traffic patterns.

In some cases, we do associate the information we collect using cookies and other technology with your personal information. This Privacy Policy governs how we use all of this information when we associate it with your personal information. You can manage cookie preferences and opt-out of having cookies and other data collection technologies used by adjusting the settings of your browser.

Social Media Plugins

This Site uses social media plugins (e.g. the Facebook “Like” button, “Share to Twitter” button) to enable you to easily share information with others. When you visit our Site, the operator of the social plugin can place a cookie on your computer, enabling that operator to recognize individuals who have previously visited our Site. If you are logged into the social media website (e.g. Facebook, Twitter) while browsing our Site, the social plugins allow that social media website to share data about your activities on our Site with other users of their social media website. For example, Facebook Social Plugins allow Facebook to show your Likes and comments on our pages to your Facebook friends. Facebook Social Plugins also allow you to see your friends’ Facebook activity on our website. Galera does not control any of the content form the social media plugins. For more information about social plugins from other media websites you should refer to those sites’ privacy and data/information sharing statements/policies.

Your Choices Regarding Your Personal Information

You can always limit the information you provide to Galera, but if you choose not to provide certain requested information, you may be unable to access some of the services, offers, and content on our Site. You can also limit the communications that Galera may send you by following a simple opt-out process. Simply follow the instructions in our advertisement/promotional emails to opt-out of receiving future marketing communications.

Please note that even if you opt-out of promotional emails, we may still need to contact you with important transactional data about your account. For example, even if you opt-out of advertisement/promotional emails, we will still send you a notification of changes to, expiration of, or discontinuation of a program you are enrolled in, and product safety communications.

You can opt-out of being targeted by those third party advertising companies that are NAI members online at www.networkadvertising.org.

Do Not Track

“Do Not Track” is a privacy preference that you can set in your internet search browser that sends a signal to a website that you do not want the website operator to track certain browsing information about you.

Security of Your Personal Information

Galera has implemented a security program that contains administrative, technical and physical controls that are designed to reasonably safeguard your personal information from unlawful use, unauthorized access or disclosure. Even though we have taken steps to protect your personal information from being intercepted, accessed, used or disclosed by unauthorized persons, we cannot fully eliminate security risks associated with personal information.

We may provide links to websites or resources outside of our Site for your informational purposes only. You acknowledge and agree that Galera is not responsible for the availability of such sites or resources, and does not endorse and is not responsible or liable for any content, advertising, goods, services or other materials on, available through or provided by such sites or resources.
