This Online Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”) applies to information about you that Scioto Properties (“Scioto,” “we,” “our,” “us”) may obtain when you visit www.scioto.com (the “Site”). This Privacy Policy describes how we may collect, use, or disclose information about you; your choices regarding our use of your information; how we safeguard such information; and how you may contact us regarding our privacy practices.
INFORMATION SCIOTO MAY COLLECT
Personal data you provide to us
We may obtain “Personal Data,” which is information that may identify you as an individual, that you provide to us directly (for example, when you complete a contact form or subscribe to our blog). The Personal Data we collect may include your name, telephone number, physical address, company affiliation, financial account information (such as income statement, balance sheets, and federal employer identification number), and email address and other information you include in the emails and other communications you send to us.
Information that is automatically collected
In addition to any Personal Data or other information that you choose to submit through the Site, we, and our vendors, may use a variety of tracking technologies (such as cookies) that automatically or passively collect certain information whenever you visit or interact with the Site. This type of usage information may include the browser you are using, your IP address or other unique identifier, pages that you visit, and the time of the visit. For example, we’ve implemented Google Analytics Advertising features such as dynamic remarketing, interest-based advertising, audience targeting, behavioral reporting, demographics and interests reporting, user segment analysis, device reporting, display advertising, and video ads reporting. These ad technology companies and advertisers may use, store, or access first-party and third- party cookies and other tracking technologies to collect or receive from the Site and elsewhere on the Internet and use that information to create a profile of you, measure your interests, detect your device, personalize your content, and provide advertising services to us, including advertisements targeted to your interests.
“Cookies” are small data files stored by your web browser on your computer. Cookies may allow a website to recognize a user’s device, record user preferences, track the pages a user clicks on while visiting the website, and identify the website visited immediately beforehand. Most web browsers accept cookies by default, but you may be able to adjust your browser settings to remove or reject cookies. Please note that blocking cookies may affect the availability and functionality of this Site and other websites. Also, disabling cookies may invalidate opt outs that use cookies to recognize devices that have opted out.
Please note that we or third parties may collect Personal Data about your online activities over time and across different devices and online properties when you use the Site. Your web browser may have settings that allow you to transmit a “Do Not Track” signal when you visit various websites or use online services. Like many websites, our Site is not designed to respond to “Do Not Track” signals received from browsers.
