We may use the information we collect from and about you for any of the following purposes:

  • To present our services and their contents to you.

  • To analyze, improve, operate, and maintain the services, our programs, services, and other systems, and to develop new products and services.

  • To notify you about changes to our services or any products or services we offer or provide though them.

  • To provide you with customized content, targeted offers, and advertising on the services, or across other websites, mobile applications, social media or online services, or via direct mail, email, and/or telemarketing regarding offers, contests, events, news, programs, and other retail opportunities from us and/or selected third parties that we believe may be of interest to you.

  • To use your data in an aggregated non-specific format for analytical and demographic purposes.

  • In any other way we may describe when you provide the information to us.

Additionally, if you use the services to connect with third-party services that you authorize us to use information from and about you, on your behalf, to interact with these third-party services based on your requests.

B. How We Use Your Information for Interest-Based Advertising

We may use third parties to measure and target advertisements for us about our products and services that are tailored to your online interests. We allow these third-party companies to use cookies, web beacons, pixel tags and similar technologies to collect certain data and other information about your online activity.  This information is used to display advertisements for ICON Power/Solar by James on the services or across other websites, mobile applications, social media or online services that you use.

We also may display interest-based ads through Facebook, Instagram, or other social media platforms or websites.  This is done through the Facebook Custom Audiences,  or other similar business tools. These tools allow us to personalize our ads based on your shopping experience with us, without having to share your personal information with these social media platforms.  We do this only by sharing hashed information (which converts your email or phone number to a unique string of numbers and letters) that the social media platform then matches data against its own data for the limited purpose of serving advertisements (either directly to you or to other lookalike audiences).  The matched and unmatched hashes are then deleted, and are not used for any other purpose.
