Cookies, Pixel Tags, and Third-Party Analytics Tools
Our third-party service providers may use a standard technology called a "cookie" to collect information about how you use this Website. Cookies reside on your computer and help the Website recognize your computer's browser as a previous visitor. We use both session ID cookies and persistent cookies. A session ID expires when you close your browser and does not retain any information about you after it expires. A persistent cookie remains on your hard drive for an extended period. We set a persistent cookie to authenticate your login and authorization to use the services. Persistent cookies enable us to track, store and target the interests of our users. If you reject cookies, you may still use our Website, but your ability to use some areas of our Website may be limited. You can remove persistent cookies by following directions provided in your Internet browser's "help" file.

Our service providers and we may also use so-called "pixel tags," "web beacons," "clear GIFs," or similar means (collectively, "Pixel Tags") in connection with some Website's pages and HTML-formatted email messages to track your use of our Website to provide you with more helpful information and a more personalized experience the next time you visit. Pixel Tags do not contain any Personally Identifiable Information and allow us to count users who have visited certain pages of the Website, to deliver branded services, and to help determine the effectiveness of promotional or advertising campaigns. When used in HTML-formatted email messages, Pixel Tags can tell the sender whether and when an email has been opened.

Ads that may appear on this Website may be delivered to Users by Bingham Storage or one of our advertising partners. Our advertising partners may set cookies. These cookies allow the ad server to recognize Users' computers each time they send users an online advertisement. In this way, ad servers may compile information about where Users, or others who are using the User's computer, saw their advertisements and determine which ads are clicked on. This information allows an ad network to deliver targeted advertisements that they believe are of most interest to Users. This privacy statement covers the use of cookies by Bingham Storage and does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers.

Beyond the Personally Identifiable Information you voluntarily provide to us, Bingham Storage utilizes analytics tools, including third-party technologies, such as Google Analytics, to collect non-personally identifiable information using cookies. Certain types of information, including geolocation, device type, onsite Website usage and behavior, demographic data, and purchase history, are collected and aggregated across Bingham Storage Site users for our analysis and advertising efforts.

Bingham Storage uses Remarketing with Google Analytics and Google Adwords to display relevant advertisements to users who have previously visited our Website. Referred to as remarketing or retargeting, Bingham Storage may utilize previous session information to serve display advertisements to you on the Website, and based on such session information, Google may set a cookie and serve ads to you on third party websites on the Google Display Network. Third-party vendors such as Google may display Bingham Storage ads on websites across the Internet. Aggregated user data may be utilized to create remarketing/retargeting "lists" or groups of users with similar onsite behaviors or demographics.

Bingham Storage also uses Google Display Network Impression Reporting and Google Analytics Demographics and Interest Reporting and Interest-Based Advertising to display advertisements to users based on their inferred interests and demographics. Bingham Storage does not run interest-based advertising campaigns that collect Personally Identifiable Information.

We may provide your Personally Identifiable Information and the data generated by cookies and third-party analytics tools and the aggregate information to the vendors and service agencies that we may engage to assist us in providing our services to you. For example, we engage with G5 Search Marketing, Inc. to assist us in creating and hosting this Site. These third-party vendors have access to and may collect Personally Identifiable Information you provided to Bingham Storage, but only as needed to perform their functions. Such vendors are not permitted to share or use the information for any other purpose.

We also may share your information:
  1. In response to subpoenas, court orders, or other legal processes; to establish or exercise our legal rights; to defend against legal claims, or as otherwise required by law. In such cases, we reserve the right to raise or waive any legal objection or right available to us.

Responding to Do Not Track Signals
Bingham Storage does not currently respond or take any action regarding "Do Not Track" requests. Except as provided in this Policy, our Website does not allow any other parties to collect Personally Identifiable Information about your online activities over time or across different websites when using the Website.

Links to Third Party Sites
This Website may provide links to other websites or resources over which Bingham Storage does not have control ("External Websites"). Such links do not constitute an endorsement by Bingham Storage of those External Websites. You acknowledge that Bingham Storage is providing these links to you only as a convenience and further agree that Bingham Storage is not responsible for the content of such External Websites.

Security

Bingham Storage may use, without limitation, firewalls, password protection, secure socket layer, and other security measures to help prevent unauthorized access to your Personally Identifiable Information.

While Bingham Storage takes security measures to help safeguard your Personally Identifiable Information from unauthorized access and disclosure, you should be aware that it is impossible to guarantee absolute security concerning information sent through the Internet. Accordingly, we do not guarantee that any safeguards to protect your Personally Identifiable Information will work.

Transactions with E-Commerce Partners, Vendors, and Advertisers
When you provide Personally Identifiable Information to one of this Website's e-commerce partners, vendors or advertisers, this transaction will occur in connection with the Site of the e-commerce partner, vendor, or advertiser, not on this Website, and, as such, the information you provide is collected pursuant to and controlled by the privacy policy of such e-commerce partner, vendor or advertiser. Bingham Storage is not responsible for such parties' privacy policies. We encourage you to familiarize yourself with the applicable privacy policy of the e-commerce site with which you transact business or contact the operator of such Site for more information.

Please be aware that at times, at the request of or on behalf of our e-commerce partners, vendors or advertisers, Bingham Storage may "pre-populate" forms with your Personally Identifiable Information for your review and, if you so choose, for submission to such e-commerce partners, vendors or advertisers. Accordingly, we encourage you to carefully review each pre-populated form before agreeing to submit your Personally Identifiable Information to determine who is seeking to collect your information and familiarize yourself with the applicable privacy policy governing the use of any Personally Identifiable Information collected about you.

Privacy Policy Updates
Due to the Internet's rapidly evolving nature, Bingham Storage may need to update this Policy from time to time. If so, Bingham Storage will post its revised Policy on our Website, along with a change notice on the Website, and the Effective Date listed at the top of this Policy shall reflect the date of the most recent change.

Notice to European Users
This Website and the services on this Website are targeted at users in the United States of America. Any information you enter on this Website may be transferred outside of the European Union to the United States of America, which does not offer an equivalent level of protection to that required in the European Union. In particular, you are advised that the United States of America uses a sectoral model of privacy protection that relies on a mix of legislation, governmental regulation, and self-regulation. Article 26 of the European Union's Data Protection Directive (Directive 95/46/EC, 1995 OJ (L 281) 31) allows for the transfer of personal data from the European Union to a third country if the individual has unambiguously given his consent to the transfer of personal information, regardless of the third country's level of protection. By using this Website or the services, you consent to the transfer of all such data to the United States of America, which may not offer an equivalent level of protection to that required in the European Union and to the processing of that information by Bingham Storage on its servers located in the United States of America as described in this Policy.
