McGough (herein, “McGough Construction”, “we,” or “us”) understand the importance of your privacy and we take our responsibility to protect it seriously. This Privacy Policy (the “Policy”) describe the types of information we collect about you, how we use that information, who we disclose it to, and certain rights and options you have regarding your information. This Policy applies to information we collect from you through our website located [McGough.com], as well as when you communicate with us, interact with us, or otherwise provide us with information.

Important Information About This Policy

While we always aim to provide complete and transparent information about how we process your personal information, we reserve the right to amend or update this Policy from time to time or to create additional policies in order to accurately reflect changed circumstances or new legal requirements.  To assist us in ensuring that we can provide the most accurate information possible, we ask that you check this Policy for updates.

We also ask that where we have an ongoing relationship with you, and any of the data you have provided is no longer accurate, that you keep us informed of this so we can amend our records accordingly. By using the website, communicating with us, or otherwise interacting with us, you consent and agree to our collection, use, sharing and disclosure of your information as described in this Policy.

Information We Collect or Receive About You

1. Personal Information

For the purposes of this Policy, “personal information” is any information that, either alone or in combination with other information, identifies, relates to, or can be used to contact a particular individual. The types of personal information we may collect include the following categories.

• Contact information: First name, last name, email address (business or personal), postal address (business or personal), telephone number (business or personal), position and/or employer organization, user credentials for any file sharing applications to which we may provide you access.
• Transactional data: Details about you, or your company, and other information relating to the products purchased by you or your company.
• Subscription, marketing and communications information: Details regarding informational and promotional materials you may have requested or received from us, the services in which you are interested, your receipt of promotional communications, and information on your marketing or communication preferences.
• Customer support information: Copies of communications and inquiries you have submitted to us, including through email, calls, and features available in connection with our website.
• Device and usage information: Details regarding how and when you use our website, including the device used to connect to the website, your IP address and device identifier, the frequency and duration of your usage, the pages you view, what websites or search terms referred you to the website, and information about your interaction with the website.

We collect this information when you access, use, or navigate our website, fill in forms on our website, request information from us, communicate with us (including by phone, email, chat, or otherwise), interact with any chatbot or similar features available in our website, visit or engage with our social media pages, participate in surveys or sponsored activities, or otherwise provide us with personal information.

1. Automatically Collected Usage and Device Information

Like most websites, we use various technologies to collect certain types of information about the users of our website. These technologies include:

• Cookies: Cookies are small text files that can be used by websites to make a user’s experience more efficient. Our website uses different types of cookies to, among other things, automatically recognize you when you return to our site, store information regarding your preferences, and analyze traffic to our site. Please note that where cookies are essential to the operation of our site, if disabled, you may not be able to enjoy certain features of the site. For further information about cookies, including how to refuse cookies, please visit www.allaboutcookies.org.  We do not honor “Do Not Track” signals.
• Log Files and Device Identifiers.  We use log files to track actions occurring on the website and collect data about visitors, including IP address, browser type, Internet service provider, referring/exit pages, date/time stamps, and device identifiers.
• Pixels, tags, web beacons and other technologies.  Each of our websites may also use “pixels,” “tags,” “web beacons,” or other similar technologies. These technologies are small pieces of code that run when a website page or email is loaded. They are used to monitor the behavior of the visitor or email recipient—such as what icons were clicked or whether links in an email were opened—and gather analytics.  For example, when you open the McGough homepage, a pixel may run and generate information based on the visit, and then this information is processed by us or our vendors. Pixels work in conjunction with cookies to let us know what portions of our website are of interest to you and to help us provide you with tailored information from our website. If you turn off cookies, the pixels, tags, and web beacons we use may still detect certain information about your interaction with our website and disregard any cookie-prohibitive markers or signals. Note, the vendors that supply us these pixels, tags, web beacons, cookies, or similar tracking technologies collect your personal information instantaneously and simultaneous to our collection of such information and they may use the information for their own purposes.
• Analytics.  Our website may also use third-party analytics tools, such as Google Analytics.  You can find more information about how data is collected and processed in connection with the Google Analytics service here.  You can also read Google’s privacy policy here.

The information collected through these technologies may be combined with personal information or aggregated with other information on website visits. We may share information about your use of our website with our advertising and analytics partners, who may combine it with other information that you previously provided to them.

1. Social Media

If you interact with us on any social media platform: (i) depending on your social media privacy settings, the personal information that you submit on the social media platform may be read, collected, or used by us as described in this Policy, and (ii) where we respond to any interaction with you on social media, your account name/handle may be viewable by any and all members or users of our social media accounts.  Social media platforms operate independently from McGough and we are not responsible for the personal information that you choose to submit or link on any social media platform.  We encourage you to review the privacy policies and settings of any social media platform with which you interact to help you understand their privacy practices.
