Website Privacy
Accu-Router, Inc recognizes the concerns of individuals regarding privacy and online data collection. We strive to respect and protect the privacy expectations of our website visitors. All websites collect some information regarding visitors. Types of information collected are wide-ranging and are collected both passively (by the web servers that host the websites) and actively (via user input through forms, surveys, etc.).
Some of the information collected allows site owners to determine who a particular visitor is and to track their behavior within and across a website domain. However, most of the information collected cannot identify you as a particular individual and is only collected in aggregate.
Websites within the Accu-Router, Inc website domain, accu-router.com, likewise collect information regarding site visitors. This policy outlines the types of information (data) collected, our methods for collecting data, and the reasons we collect data.
Gathering & Use of Information
Aggregate Information
The following are examples of information that may be collected in aggregate to provide communicators, site owners, content managers, designers, and IT specialists insight into visitor behavior for the purpose of improving websites and access to information:
-
The Internet Protocol (IP) address of the computer and name of the Internet domain used to access the Internet;
-
IP addresses of websites linking directly to sites within the accu-router.com domain;
-
The date and time a site was accessed within the accu-router.com domain;
-
Pages visited (“requested”) during this session;
-
Web browser and operating system used to access a site within the accu-router.com domain; and
-
Device used to access a site within the accu-router.com domain.
Accu-Router Inc websites commonly use one of the following methods to collect this data:
-
Cookies - Cookies are small pieces of data sent from our website(s) and stored in your web browser. Accepting cookies allows visitors to set user preferences and otherwise enable a more “personalized” experience with a website. Users may set preferences regarding the storage of cookies within their individual web browsers which can also be used to remove stored cookies.
-
Third-party Tracking (e.g. Google Analytics) - Many websites within the accu-router.com domain use Google Analytics to collect visitor data in aggregate. This data is also collected using cookies set by Google. See Google’s privacy and terms with regard to partner sites for more info: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/ Accu-Router, Inc may also transmit non-personal identifiable information (NPII) collected by third-party tracking services (cookies) to other third parties (e.g. Facebook) so that you may see messages when you visit other websites outside of the accu-router.com domain.
-
Server logs - All web servers collect very basic visitor information to monitor site usage and performance.

If you have shared personal information with Accu-Router Inc, we may use that information to tailor services to you, to fulfill materials requests, to contact you, or to display web content that may be of particular interest to you.

Browsing Information and Tracking
Some websites within the accu-router.com domain may use third-party vendor re-marketing tracking tools, such as the Google “AdWords” conversion tag and the Facebook “pixel,” to serve targeted online advertisements. These ads may appear within third-party services and/or on unrelated websites across the internet. The third-party vendors who serve the ads use the information they gather from cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to tailor advertisements to you. This collected data may also be used by communicators to measure the success of online advertising campaigns (i.e. “ad conversion”).
Some of these re-marketing tools can potentially transmit personally identifiable information to third parties and Accu-Router, Inc along with your browser history, particularly if you are logged in to one of the services while browsing the internet (e.g. Facebook, Google).
Opting Out
To opt out of the collection and use of information for ad targeting on Facebook and other websites, you can use the Digital Advertising Alliance’s WebChoices Tool, which scans your browser for companies that are already serving you customized ads.
To opt out of Google's ad personalization, visit Google’s Ad Settings.
You can also opt out of “interest-based advertising” by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative opt out page.
