When any visitor (and that includes you) visits our website, we collect non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available. This includes things such as your browser type, language preference, type of computer, etc. This data is collected in aggregate for the purpose of understanding how visitors interact with and use this website. From time to time, we may publish parts of this information in aggregate as part of reporting on trends in the usage of this website.
Certain visitors to this website choose to interact with us in ways that require StalexHouse.com to gather personal data. The amount and type of information gathered depends on the nature of the interaction.
We collect potentially personally-identifiable information like your IP address and email address when filling out StalexHouse.com contact form (if one is available). These IP addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of this website, but the data is only disclosed under the same circumstances that we use for personally-identifiable information as described below.

We use this data in order to effectively further our legitimate interests in operating our website. More specifically…
If information is aggregated or de-identified so as no longer to be reasonably associated with an identifiable natural person, StalexHouse.com may use it for business purposes. To the extent information is associated with an identifiable natural person and is protected as personal data under applicable data protection law, it is referred to in this policy as "personal data".
We may engage third parties to perform functions on our behalf, and these may include maintaining the Platform, collecting information, responding to and sending email or other messages, and other functions useful to our business. In this capacity, we may provide service providers with Personally Identifiable Information, Non-Personally Identifiable Information, and Anonymous Information as applicable. The following are examples:
We do not permit our service providers to use the information we give them for any purpose other than providing services to us.
We use Google analytics to record information about the pages a user has seen, for example the URL of the page, time of day, device used, etc. The information that we collect anonymized and sent to Google Analytics for analysis. Google Analytics mainly uses first-party cookies to report on visitor interactions on this website. Users may disable cookies or delete any individual cookie. In addition, Google Analytics supports an optional browser add-on that – once installed and enabled – disables measurement by Google Analytics for any site a user visits. Note that this add-on only disables Google Analytics measurement. Google Analytics also collects Internet Protocol (IP) addresses to provide and protect the security of the service, and to give website owners a sense of which country, state, or city in the world their users come from (also known as "IP geolocation").
Information concerning how Google uses the information is available at https://policies.google.com/privacy/partners and opt-out options specific to Google Analytics are available at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
We may disclose your Personally Identifiable Information and Non-Personally Identifiable Information to third parties, including law enforcement agencies, attorneys, and private investigator organizations, where it is necessary, or where we have a good faith belief that it is necessary:
While you are not able to opt out of this use of information, we will take reasonable steps to limit such use, and disclose only the information we reasonably believe is necessary for the above purposes. If we receive legal process calling for the disclosure of your Personally Identifiable Information, we will attempt to notify you within a reasonable amount of time, unless such notification is not permitted.
If you request, we will take reasonable steps to remove your name and email address from our databases, within the time frames (if any) set out in Applicable Law. Please understand, however, that if you request the deletion of your information, you will no longer be able to receive our Services. In addition, it may be impractical (or essentially impossible) to remove the requested information completely, due to requirements promulgated by Applicable Law, and/or data backups and records of deletions. As such, certain Personally Identifiable Information may remain in our databases following the deletion of your account; we will continue to treat the remaining information (if any) in accordance with this privacy policy.
We will not delete Anonymous Information from our database, and nothing in this privacy policy restricts our use of Anonymous Information.
If you are protected by the GDPR with respect to our use of your information, upon proper request, we will take the steps set out in the GDPR to erase your Personally Identifiable Information that has made publicly available via our Platform such as, for example, Personally Identifiable Information made publicly available through User-Generated Content( i.e. Disqus comments).

We may share Non-Personally Identifiable Information and Anonymous Information with third parties for their marketing purposes and activities.

These activities may involve a third party placing its cookies, beacons, and/or tags on our Platform. We do not sell or transfer your Personally Identifiable Information to, and do not share, swap, or exchange your Personally Identifiable Information with, any third party for such third party's advertising or marketing purposes.

The security of your Personal Information is important to us, but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure.
