Information We Automatically Collect
When you use The Pole Edit Services, we automatically collect certain information through tracking technologies, including the domain name of websites that referred you to us, your IP address, time spent on our Services, pages viewed, your browser and device type, and frequency of visits (collectively, "Traffic Data").

We collect information when you access or use The Pole Edit Services, when you voluntarily provide it, through location-enabled browsers, and through cookies, web beacons, analytics services, and other tracking technologies ("Tracking Tools").
Tracking Tools, Behavioral Advertising & Opt-Out Options
Tracking Tools
We use the following tools to provide and improve The Pole Edit Services:
Cookies are small files transferred to your device that store information such as user preferences and browsing activity. We use cookies to improve our Services, customize advertisements, measure performance, store authentication, and prevent fraud. We use three types of cookies: Absolutely Necessary Cookies, which are essential to core site functionality; Performance Cookies, which collect anonymous data about how you use our Services to improve usability; and Functionality Cookies, which remember your preferences to provide a more personalized experience. You can manage cookie settings through your browser or visit allaboutcookies.org for more information.
Web Beacons are tiny image files embedded in web pages or emails that help us analyze how many people are using our Services and for what purpose.
Web Service Analytics — We use third-party analytics services to track interactions such as mouse clicks, movements, and scrolling to help make our Services easier to use.
Mobile Device Identifiers help us understand user demographics and behaviors in order to personalize and improve our Services.
Behavioral Advertising
We may use interest-based advertising, where our partners use Tracking Tools to display ads to you based on your online activity. These partners may collect information such as your IP address, device ID, operating system, and demographic data.
Opting Out
If we process cookies based on your consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time by contacting us at info@thepoleedit.com. You may also opt out of interest-based advertising by visiting the NAI opt-out page or DAA opt-out page, or by installing the DAA's AppChoices app. Please note that opting out does not stop all data collection — you may still see non-targeted ads from The Pole Edit.
Do Not Track & Universal Opt-Out Signals
We currently do not respond to Do Not Track (DNT) browser signals, as there is no industry consensus on their interpretation. However, we do recognize and honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals where required by law.
Data Collection by AI Systems
Our AI Systems may collect data you provide directly or indirectly through your use of our Services, including usage data such as pages visited and searches conducted, device and connection information such as your IP address and browser type, and location information determined through your IP address or GPS signal.

In connection with our AI Systems, you have the right to obtain an explanation of any automated decision and challenge its basis, opt out of profiling for personalized content or advertising, access and request correction or deletion of personal data used by AI Systems, and receive information about the logic and consequences of any automated decisions.
Safeguards & Oversight
We are committed to responsible AI use through regular auditing for accuracy and fairness, human oversight of AI decision-making, and compliance with all applicable privacy regulations.
How We Use Your Information
We do not engage in automated decision-making. We may use your information to provide and improve our Services, develop new offerings, and advertise to you. Specific uses include fulfilling your orders and requests, corresponding with you, performing business analysis and internal operations, combining data from third parties with information we have about you, showing you relevant advertisements, fulfilling legal obligations, and enforcing our policies and agreements.

We may share your information with partners who help us operate our Services, including hosting, billing, data storage, security, analytics, and advertising. We may also share information in connection with a merger, acquisition, or change of ownership, and we will make reasonable efforts to notify you if this occurs. Additionally, we may disclose your information when required by law or to protect the rights, property, or safety of you, The Pole Edit, or others.
Storage & Security
We make every effort to protect your information, but no security measures are perfect or impenetrable. Information transmitted to us electronically is done so at your own risk. We recommend avoiding unsecure channels when sharing sensitive information.
