TollRoadsNews.com (TRN) respects our subscribers’ and users’ online privacy rights. This statement applies to the TRN website and outlines TRN’s data collection and usage policies. By using the TRN website and TRN’s related electronic mailing account you consent to the data practices described in this statement.
Collection of Your Personal Information
TRN from time to time collects personal information that you voluntarily provide when you register an account, subscribe to our services, or interact with the TRN website. This information includes, among other things, your name, email addresses, username, and account password. TRN does not collect or store any sensitive personal data unless you explicitly provide it to us to fulfill a subscription.
TRN automatically collects certain data about your computer hardware and software, including, without limitation, IP address, browser type, domain name, access times, and referring website addresses. TRN may also automatically collect anonymous demographic data that is not unique to individual customers. Except for the foregoing data, TRN collects no information about you when you visit the TRN website unless you choose to provide that information.
TRN does not collect, process, or store your personal financial information, credit card numbers, or billing details. All payment processing is handled securely by our third-party payment processor, Stripe, Inc. The collection, storage, and use of your financial data is governed solely by Stripe’s Privacy Policy, which you can review at stripe.com. By subscribing to our website, you acknowledge that your payment details are provided directly to Stripe.
TRN encourages you to review the privacy statements of websites you choose to link to from the TRN website so that you can understand how those websites collect, use, and share your information. TRN is not responsible for the privacy statements or other content on websites outside of the TRN website.
Use of Cookies
The TRN website uses “cookies” to help you personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. A cookie will tell the web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize any TRN pages, or register with the TRN site, a cookie helps to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your preferences for using the website or any personal information, such as a login credential or billing address, that you have provided.
You can accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to experience fully the interactive features of the TRN website.
Use of Your Personal Information
TRN collects and uses your personal information to operate the TRN website, fulfill subscription orders, maintain the quality of the services you have requested, and provide general statistics regarding use of the website.
TRN may also use your personally identifiable information to inform you of events, services, or products available from TRN or business partners. TRN may also contact you via surveys to conduct research into its operations or to obtain your opinion of current services or of potential new services that may be offered.
TRN does not sell, rent, or lease its customer lists to third parties. However, in the event of a sale, merger, or transfer of TRN ownership or assets, we reserve the right to transfer customer data as part of that transaction.
TRN may share data with trusted partners to help us perform statistical analysis, gain information about services, or provide customer support. All such third parties are prohibited from using your personal information except to provide these services, and they are required to maintain the confidentiality of your information.
TRN keeps track of the websites and the pages within its own website that you use to determine what TRN services are most popular. The data can be used to deliver customized content and advertising within the TRN website to customers whose behavior indicates that they are interested in a particular subject area.
TRN will disclose your personal information, without notice, only if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to: a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on the TRN or the website; b) protect and defend the rights or property of TRN; and c) act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of the TRN website or the public.
