Allstar Magnetics Privacy Policy

Introduction:
Allstar Magnetics specializes in permanent magnets such as Alnico, Neodymium, Samarium Cobalt and rare earth magnet assemblies. We feature Ferrite Cores, custom machined cores and magnetic assemblies including custom wound transformers, inductors and coils. The Allstar Magnetics website is designed to provide information about our services to current and prospective clients. This policy (“Policy”) overviews the types of data Allstar Magnetics may collect and how that data is used so that you can make an informed decision about using this Website.  

Information Collected:
Information Provided by User
The form pages of the Website gives users the option of providing an email address to receive notifications and have Allstar Magnetics reach out to them.

Information Automatically Collected
The Website is hosted through Allstar Magnetics account with WP Engine. WP Engine automatically collects information on all of its websites. This information includes non-identifying analytics data (such as browser type) but also may include IP addresses, which are sometimes considered personally-identifying information. WP Engine uses this data in aggregate to analyze trends.

Allstar Magnetics does not control any data collected by WP Engine, but we do have access to view some of the data they collect. You can view WP Engine’s Privacy Policy here: https://wpengine.com/legal/privacy/.  

Allstar Magnetics also uses a service called Google Analytics to monitor Website use. Google Analytics collects anonymized IP addresses and tracks site behavior such as number of pageviews, average time spent on the Website, and new vs. returning visitors.

Use of Information
Allstar Magnetics uses the email addresses provided through our form submissions to send information updates and for additional marketing purposes.

Allstar Magnetics uses a service called MailChimp to organize collected email addresses and send our email updates. This means that if you choose to subscribe to either of those, your email address will be shared with MailChimp. You can review MailChimp’s Privacy Policy here: https://mailchimp.com/legal/privacy/.

We use the information collected through our Website to analyze Website use. This helps us to understand how users use the Website and to make improvements.

Allstar Magnetics may use the data collected in aggregate in marketing and/or educational materials and provide it to our own employees in the course of normal business.

Data Storage and Retention
The information collected by WP Engine is stored by WP Engine, the information collected by Google Analytics is stored by Google Analytics, and the email addresses provided and shared with Mailchimp are stored by MailChimp. These accounts are accessible by Trillium employees and are password protected.

Allstar Magnetics has no policy of automatically deleting data after a certain period. This is because Allstar Magnetics uses analytics data to evaluate patterns and trends and it is useful to be able to see this type of information over a long period of time.

Sharing Data
Allstar Magnetics may use the data collected in aggregate in marketing and/or educational materials and provide it to our own employees in the course of normal business.

Allstar Magnetics will not release or sell identifying information to third parties, aside from the access already described in this Policy for WP Engine, Google Analytics, and MailChimp.

This Policy is posted on our website so that users can always access it.

If you choose to submit form information you are consenting to being contacted by email. By providing your email address you are giving Allstar Magnetics active and explicit consent to contact you by email with marketing updates.

Withdrawal of Consent

If you have concerns about your data and would like to have it removed, please contact us at info@allstarmagnetics.com. Note that Allstar Magnetics does not control any of the data collected by Google Analytics or WP Engine, so we may not be able to accommodate your request. However, we are happy to discuss your options and connect you with representatives at either company.

Any email received by subscribers will include an “unsubscribe” button, which withdraws your consent to receiving future emails.

If, after emailing us, you begin using our Website again, or re-subscribe, we will consider this explicit consent to start collecting information again.
