We believe that privacy is a matter of trust, and we are committed to managing personal data lawfully, fairly, and transparently. We want our website visitors, customers, distributors, and other business partners (collectively, "you" or "your") to understand the ways we collect and use personal data about you.

This Privacy Policy describes:

3. Ways We Collect Your Personal Data

We collect only personal data that you provide to us voluntarily and with your consent. TAI takes measures to ensure that we collect personal data for specified, explicit, and legitimate reasons only – namely, to provide products and services to you and meet our legal obligations.

3.2 Log Files

We may use log files to record data about each users’ visit to our Site. When you visit the Site, we collect the IP (Internet Protocol) address connected to your computer (or the proxy server you use to access the World Wide Web), your computer operating system, the type of browser you are using, mobile device operating system (if you are accessing the Site using a mobile device), as well as the name of your ISP ("Internet Service Provider") or your mobile carrier.

We may use cookies to track Site usage and trends, to improve the quality of the Site, and to customize your experience on the Site. We save a "cookie" – a small text file – on your computer. You can remove or block cookies using the settings in your browser, but in some cases doing so may impact your ability to use the Site.

We may use one type of cookie, called a "persistent" cookie, once you have signed in to your account to identify you as a returning visitor to the Site. We use another type of cookie, called a "session" cookie, to identify your last visit to the Site. Session cookies used by the Site expire after you close your web browser.

Google Analytics and HubSpot track usage information on the Site, including top webpages, what links users click, time spent on the Site, visitor demographics, and sources of traffic to the Site. Google Analytics and HubSpot use cookies and other technologies to collect data on users’ behavior and their devices (in particular device's IP address captured and stored only in anonymized form), device screen size, device type (unique device identifiers), browser information, geographic location (country only), and preferred language used to display on the Site.

We do not use Google Analytics or HubSpot to track, collect or upload any data that personally identifies an individual (such as a name, e-mail address, or billing information), or other data which can be reasonably linked to such information by Google Analytics or HubSpot. Refer to the Google Privacy Policy and HubSpot’s Privacy Policy for more information.

We do not control these third parties tracking technologies or how they may be used. You may opt out of Google Analytics here.
