These services include Remarketing with Google Analytics, Google Display Network Impression Reporting, and Google Analytics Demographics and Interest Reporting. Using these services, third-party vendors, including Google, may show you ads on sites across the Internet. Additionally, these services can be used to report how your ad impressions, other uses of ad services, and interactions with these ad impressions and ad services are related to visits to our website. Esotech also uses Audience and Interest data (such as age, gender, and interests) to improve our website content and advertising.

Disclosure of Personal Information to Third Parties

We do not share, sell or trade your personal information except as described in this Privacy Policy. We share certain categories of information we collect from you with trusted third parties that assist us in operating the Site, conducting our business or providing you with services, so long as those parties agree to keep your information secure and confidential. We also reserve the right to disclose your personal information as required by law and when disclosure is necessary to comply with a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process served on the Site or Esotech. Esotech may sell, transfer or otherwise share some or all of its assets, including personal information, in connection with or in anticipation of a corporate event, including a merger, acquisition, sale of stock, recapitalization, reorganization or sale of assets or in the event of bankruptcy.

Notice to Residents of Countries Outside the United States of America

Esotech is headquartered in the United States. We recognize that other countries and the European Community have established data protection regimes which may be more protective of any data you may provide. If you live outside the United States, by using the Site and providing information to us through the Site, including upon registration, you agree and consent to our collection, transfer, and processing of such data in accordance with this Privacy Policy under the applicable laws of the United States. When you use the Site or provide information, you are solely responsible for compliance with any data protection or privacy obligations in your jurisdiction.

Links to Other Sites

The Site contains links to other third party websites. Esotech is not responsible for the privacy practices of such third-party websites. We strongly recommend that you review the privacy policy of each website that you access prior to providing any personal information to make sure you understand what data is collected and how such data is used by third parties.

California Residents – Disclosure to Third Parties
Under California Civil Code sections 1798.83-1798.84, also known as the “Shine the Light Law,” California residents who use this Site are entitled to request and receive once a year, free of charge, a notice from us describing what categories of personal information we share with third parties for their direct marketing purposes. That notice will identify the categories of information shared, the third parties and affiliates with which it was shared, and their names and addresses. If you are a California resident and would like a copy of this notice, please submit a written request to the contact address below. In your request, please specify that you want a “California Privacy Rights Notice.” Please allow at least thirty days for a response.

California Residents – Do Not Track Notice
Except as described above with regards to Google Analytics services, Esotech does not track its visitors to this site over time and across third party websites to provide targeted advertising and therefore does not respond to Do Not Track (DNT) signals. You may opt out of tracking via Google Analytics as described above. However, some third party sites do keep track of your browsing activities when they serve you content, which enables them to tailor what they present to you. If you are visiting such sites, your web browser may allow you to set the DNT signal so that third parties (particularly advertisers) know you do not want to be tracked.
