This policy does not apply to information collected by us through other means such as by telephone or in person, although that information may be protected by other privacy policies. As used in this policy, terms such as “we” or “our” and “Company” refer to Simpra Advantage and its current and future affiliated entities. Any information you provide, including any personal information, will be transferred to and processed by a secured server located in a U. S.-based data center.

The Company may use various technologies, including cookies, tokens, tags, web logs, web beacons, scripts and web server logs to gather automatically collected informationabout your activities on our website and may aggregate this information from our website visitors or to enable certain features of our website. This information may include demographic data, technical information about the technology (e.g., phone, computer) used to connect to the website, web browser information, your IP address, and browsing behavior such as pages visited and how often they are visited (“Activity Information”). We may also use third party analytics companies to provide these services.
We use analytics tools and other third-party technologies, such as Google Analytics and Cookies, to collect non-personal information regarding you in the form of various usage and user metrics when you use our websites and/or services. These tools and technologies collect and analyze certain types of information, including cookies, IP addresses, device and software identifiers, referring and exit URLs, onsite behavior and usage information, feature use metrics and statistics, usage and purchase history, MAC Address, mobile unique device ID, geo-location, demographic and interest data, and other similar information.
The third-party analytics companies who collect information on our websites and/or services and other online products and/or services may combine the information collected with other information they have independently collected from other websites and/or other online or mobile products and services relating to your activities across their network of websites as well as online and/or mobile products and services. Many of these companies collect and use information under their own privacy policies.
One such third-party analytics company we use is Google Analytics. You may opt out of Google Analytics by visiting the Google Analytics opt-out page. Google has additional information available about their Remarketing Guidelines and Restrictions.
This site is being monitored by one or more third-party monitoring software(s), and may capture information about your visit that will help us improve the quality of our service.
