1. Information Miller Electric Collects From You
Active Information Collection Like many other web sites, we actively collect information from our visitors both by asking specific questions on this Web Site and by permitting you to communicate directly with us via online forms and e-mail. Some of the information that you submit may be personally identifiable (that is, information that can be uniquely identified with you, such as your name, business name, address, phone number, e-mail address, etc.). Contact information may be used to send information about our company to our customers and to learn about customer satisfaction with our services.ðWe run contests on our Web Site in which we ask visitors for contact information. The contact information may be used to contact the visitor when necessary. Any credit card information you provide for goods is secure and used only for your intended purpose.
Passive Information Collection
As you navigate through a web site, certain information can be passively collected (that is, gathered without you actively providing the information) using various technologies and means, such as navigational data collection. Like most web site operators, we track IP addresses during your visit and use both session and persistent cookies. We use cookies to help identify you when you visit our Web Site and to keep track of your shopping list. You should be aware that we might use these cookies for other purposes now and in the future. Our system also automatically gathers information about the areas you visit on this Web Site and collects operational information about the technology you use, such as your browser, type of computer, operating systems, and Internet service providers.
We passively collect information to generate statistics and measure site activity in order to understand what areas of this Web Site are most popular, which areas may require improvement and what technologies our visitors are using. This information helps us to update and improve this Web Site and enhance the usefulness of customer visits. We also use this information for security purposes, to detect and to block security breaches and to provide you with a safe online environment.
2. How Miller Electric Uses Your Information
Miller Electric uses your personal information to enhance the operation of this Web Site, allow you to use all of its features, and provide you with the services that you request. Miller Electric may contact you about new features or products in which it believes you may be interested. Miller Electric may disclose your personal information to affiliated companies or to the reputable vendors that assist us in processing information or delivering the items that our customers order. These vendors are restricted from using the information for any purpose other than helping us to provide products and services. Miller Electric may provide aggregate statistics about our customers, sales, online traffic patterns and related information to reputable third parties, but these statistics will not include any personally identifying information. Miller Electric also will disclose any information that it is required to disclose by law or by an appropriate government authority.
Although Miller Electric does not currently rent, sell, or otherwise share your information with third parties for purposes unrelated to this Web Site, it may do so in the future. If you do not want your information to be shared, you should contact us at info@Millerwelds.com, as described in Section 3.
3. Choices You Have About How Miller Electric Uses Your Information
We strive to provide you with as many choices and as much control as possible regarding the personal information you provide to us. We have created mechanisms to provide you with the following control over your information:
You may opt out of having your e-mail address used for promotional purposes by Miller Electric. This opt out does not apply to information provided to Miller Electric as a result of a product purchase, warranty registration, product service experience or other transactions. If you no longer wish to receive information or promotional materials from us by e-mail you may opt out of receiving these communications by using one of the following methods:
- Send an email to asking to be omitted from future e-mail distributions.

- Follow the instructions contained in the promotional email or newsletter.
If you do not wish us to collect cookies, you may set your browser to refuse cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being sent. If you do so, please note that some parts of this Web Site may then be inaccessible or not function properly.
You should review this Privacy Policy carefully, because if you do not agree with our practices, your ultimate choice is not to use this Web Site.
