Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. Please note that, when used in this Privacy Policy, the term “including” (as well as related terms such as “include” and “includes”) means “including, but not limited to,” and is meant to be inclusive, not exclusive.

We may collect information submitted by users, information received on the basis of users’ visits to, interactions with, and activities on our Site, and other information provided by third-party vendors.

Use of Cookies and Other Online Tracking Technologies
We use cookies, pixels, and other online tracking technologies to collect information, including to understand visitor activity on our Site and to help improve visitors’ experience while using our Site.
A cookie is a small alphanumeric text file sent by a web server and placed on your computer by your web browser. Cookies can be divided into two different types: session and persistent. Session cookies are typically deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies, in contrast, remain stored on your computer after you close your browser until they are deleted either because they expire or you delete them.
The types of cookies we use are:
Cookies are often used in conjunction with other technologies to understand online behavior. For example, Paumonok Harbor House uses cookies in conjunction with pixels, which are small sections of code that we may place on our Site, to associate particular online activities to a browser or device (e.g., to understand that a browser or device has visited a specific page of our Site and/or to understand the total number of unique users that have visited a specific page of our Site).
We use session cookies in connection with our Site for security purposes and to provide you with customizations of your experience, such as highlighting your recently viewed items, detecting and remembering your region and language preferences, and tracking your activities on our Site. We use persistent cookies to ensure that you are directed to the correct regional version of our Site, to remember items you may have put in your “Cart”, in connection with “Tailored Advertising” (which associates a user’s activity and interest information, demographic information, geographic information, and similar information with a browser cookie or other online identifier in order to provide more useful and relevant advertising), and for other customization purposes. We may use the services of third-party providers in connection with our use of cookies.
None of these cookies is strictly necessary to access our Site. You may set your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being set. However, if you do not accept cookies, parts of our Site may function differently and you may not be able to use some portions or features of our Site. For more information about how to manage your cookies and your cookie preferences, please use the “help” menu of your web browser or explore the customer support sections of your web browser. To “opt out” of Tailored Advertising, please see the “Your Choices: Opt-Out/Right to Withdraw Consent” section below.
We also collect certain additional passive tracking data concerning your device and how you access and use our Site (“Usage Data”). This Usage Data includes information such as your computer’s Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, browser type, and browser version, as well as the pages of our Site that you visit, the times and dates of your visits, the time spent on, and interactions with, those pages, location data, and diagnostic data. You can enable or disable location services when you use our Site at any time, through your device settings.
We may use third-party technology providers to monitor and analyze the use of our Site. This includes Google Analytics – for more information on the privacy practices of Google, please visit the Google Privacy & Terms web page: http://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/.
Paumonok Harbor House uses third-party services to advertise our products and services to you after you visit our Site. We and our third-party vendors use cookies and other online tracking technologies on our Site and in third-party services (including in emails and advertisements and on other digital properties) to track your activities across time and services for purposes of associating the different devices you use, and delivering relevant Tailored Advertising and/or other content to you and others on our Site and in third-party services or third-party digital properties after you have left our Site. In addition to the use of such online tracking technologies, we may also upload customer lists (including email addresses) to third- party service providers, such as Facebook and Google, to have customized ads served to people (or people similar to people) who have visited our Site (“Matched Ads”). “Matched Ads” may be considered a kind of Tailored Advertising.
Unsubscribe/Right to Withdraw Consent:
If you do not want us to contact you or send you information by email, postal mail and/or telephone, or if you would like to change any of the information that you have previously provided to us, please let us know by emailing us at Info@PaumonokHarbor.com. You may also unsubscribe from receiving our newsletters, marketing and promotional materials by following the unsubscribe link in our marketing and promotional emails or the instructions provided in any other communication we send.
Opt-Out/Right to Withdraw Consent:
Adjusting your browser settings to refuse or remove cookies.
Please note that you need to configure each browser on each device that you use if you wish to opt-out or block some or all cookies for that browser. If you buy a new device, upgrade or change web browsers or delete your opt-out cookies, you will need to perform the applicable opt-out process again. In order for opt-out processes to work, your browser must be set to accept third-party cookies. Additional information about cookies is available at https://youradchoices.com/choices-faq and www.youronlinechoices.com (by clicking the “Frequently Asked Questions”/”FAQs” link after selecting the appropriate country).
You may also “opt out” of “interest-based advertising”/”online behavioral advertising”/Tailored Advertising in mobile application environments via the privacy settings on your mobile device, including by selecting “Limit Ad Tracking” in such privacy settings. Selecting such setting will result in the elimination of Tailored Advertising via the applicable mobile advertising ID (e.g., Apple IDFA or Google Advertising ID) on that mobile device. In addition, you may opt-out of Matched Ads via your email address by following the unsubscribe link in our marketing and promotional emails or by emailing us at Info@PaumonokHarbor.com.
Please note that there may be a slight delay between your unsubscribe and/or Matched Ads email opt-out elections and the processing of such elections. Please also note that we are not responsible for third parties’ failure to comply with opt-out instructions.
We use the information we collect for our operational and commercial purposes, including:
Paumonok Harbor House will retain your personal information only for as long as is reasonably necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. The criteria used to determine the retention periods include: (i) how long the personal information is needed to provide the services (including in connection with our guarantees) and operate the business; (ii) the type of personal information collected; and (iii) whether we are subject to a legal, contractual or similar obligation to retain the data (e.g., mandatory data retention laws, government orders to preserve data relevant to an investigation, or data that must be retained for the purposes of litigation or disputes).
Paumonok Harbor House will also retain Usage Data for internal analysis purposes. Usage Data is generally retained for a shorter period of time, except when this data is used to strengthen the security or to improve the functionality of our Site, or we are legally obligated to retain this data for longer time periods.
Your information, including personal data, may be transferred to — and maintained on — computers located outside of your state, province, country or other governmental jurisdiction, in jurisdictions where the data protection laws may differ than those from your jurisdiction.
If you are located outside of the United States and provide information to us, please note that such information, including personal data, may be sent to, and processed in the United States and/or other countries. By providing us with your personal data, you consent to such transfers to and subsequent processing in such countries (including the United States), which your country may not consider to provide for adequate privacy protections. You may withdraw your consent at any time. The withdrawal of consent shall not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
We may share your information with our authorized service providers that perform certain services on our behalf. These services may include fulfilling orders, processing payments, providing customer service and marketing assistance, performing business and sales analysis, supporting our Site functionality and supporting other features offered through our Site, and providing advertising and marketing services (including delivering Tailored Advertising and email marketing campaigns, and analyzing and improving the effectiveness of our advertising and marketing). These service providers may have access to personal information needed to perform their functions and are generally not permitted to share or use non-aggregated personal information for any other purposes. We may also share your personal information with Paumonok Harbor House affiliates. In addition, unless you are a European Economic Area (which includes, for purposes of this Privacy Policy, Switzerland and the United Kingdom) (“EEA”) data subject, we may share your personal information with third-party advertising, marketing, and data service companies in connection with our use of their data cooperative and data enrichment, verification, and analytics products and services, which sharing may constitute a “sale” under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).
Under certain circumstances, Paumonok Harbor House may be required to disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court or a government agency). Paumonok Harbor House will disclose your information in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to:
Data security is important to us, but please keep in mind that no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage or transmission is 100% secure. While we strive to use reasonable and appropriate means to protect information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. We do and will take reasonable and appropriate steps designed to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy, and we will not transfer your personal data to an organization or a country unless there are adequate controls in place, including with respect to the security of your personal data.
We do not support browser “Do Not Track” (DNT) signals, and do not change any of our data collection or use practices when we receive such signals. Do Not Track is a preference you can set in your web browser. We will continue to evaluate potential responses to “Do Not Track” signals in light of industry developments or legal changes. We are committed to honoring your privacy choices. For more information, please see the “Your Choices” section above.
