Technologies We Use

A cookie is a piece of data stored on a site visitor’s hard drive to help us improve your access to our site and identify repeat visitors to our site. For instance, when we use a cookie to identify you, you would not have to login a password more than once, thereby saving time while on our site. Cookies can also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our site. Our digital marketing partners (third parties) may use cookies to collect or receive information from our websites and use that information to provide measurement services and targeted ads.

Google Analytics:
Google Analytics is a web analysis service provided by Google Inc.

Google may use the data collected to contextualize and personalize the ads of its own advertising network. The data collected by Google Analytics does not contain any information that personally identifies you (“personally identifiable information”). Click here to review the Google privacy policy.
- User ID for Google Analytics:
Google Analytics makes use of a feature called “User ID.” This setup allows for a more accurate tracking of users by associating that user with the same ID over various sessions and devices. It is set up in a way that does not allow Google to personally identify an individual or permanently identify a particular device. The User ID extension might make it possible to connect data from Google Analytics with other data about the user collected through this website. The opt-out link below will only opt you out for the device you are on, but not from tracking performed independently by the Owner. - To opt out of tracking through Google Analytics, please contact us via the contact information provided at the end of this Policy. You can also learn more about this technology and how to opt-out of this feature by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

With Whom We Share Your Information
We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your information to outside parties, except when we have your permission, to the marketing partners described above, or as described in this paragraph. We may disclose your personal information to service providers we use to perform services on behalf of Grimco such as website development and operation, preparation of marketing materials, sending postal mail or email, job applications, processing payments and processing data. To protect our customers’ privacy, we work only with companies that agree to maintain strong confidentiality protections and prohibit them from using the information we provide for any other purpose. We do not permit these companies to sell or otherwise distribute the information we give them to any other third party except as described above. If you enter a contest that is considered a sweepstakes under various state laws, we are required to disclose your name to other entrants who ask, but only if you win.
We’ll ask for your consent before using your information for a purpose that extends beyond what you may reasonably expect from a wholesale sign supply manufacturer and distributor and that has a more significant privacy impact. We may disclose your information in order to comply with the law, enforce our site policies, or protect ours or others’ rights, property, or safety.
As we continue to develop our business, we may buy or sell businesses or assets. In such transactions, confidential customer information generally is one of the transferred business assets. In the event of a transaction involving the sale of some or all of our businesses, customer and site visitor information may be one of the transferred assets and may be disclosed in connection with negotiations relating to a proposed transaction. In such case, the transferred information may become subject to a different privacy policy.
Security Measures to Protect Your Information
We take precautions to protect your information. When you submit sensitive information via this website, your information is protected both online and offline. Wherever we collect sensitive information (such as credit card data), that information is encrypted and transmitted to us in a secure way. You can verify this by looking for a lock icon in the address bar and looking for “https” at the beginning of the address of the webpage.
While we use encryption to protect sensitive information transmitted online, we also protect your information offline. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, billing or customer service) are granted access to personally identifiable information. The computers/servers in which we store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment.
Although we have the above data security safeguards in place, no data transmission over the internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or from our services, and you do so at your own risk.
