Like most website operators, Cascade Car Wash® (“CCW”) collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. CCW’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how CCW’s visitors use its website. CCW also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. By using the Cascade Car Wash® website, you consent to the data practices described in this statement.

Your use of this Website constitutes your agreement to such terms, conditions and notices. The names, trademarks, photos, videos, service marks and logos appearing on this site may not be used in any advertising or publicity, or otherwise to indicate the CCW sponsorship of or affiliation with any product or service. CCW makes no guarantees or warranties as to the accuracy or completeness of our results to be obtained from accessing and using the information. CCW shall not be liable to any user or anyone else for any inaccuracy, error or omission, regardless of cause, in the CCW site or for any damages resulting therefrom. Users entering materials on any of these Web pages are responsible for the content of that material. CCW has no responsibility for the content of any messages or information posted by users. However, CCW retains the right, which it may or may not exercise, in its sole discretion, to review, edit or delete from the service any third-party material which CCW deems to be illegal, offensive or otherwise inappropriate. Users may through hypertext or other computer “links” gain access to other sites on the Internet which are not part of CCW’s Web pages. CCW assumes no responsibility for any material outside of CCW’s Web pages which may be accessed through any such “links,” and does not exert any editorial or other control over those other sites. The privacy policies and practices contained in this Privacy Statement do not apply to any external links. This Privacy Statement only applies to this CCW site or any future sites that CCW may develop. It does not cover sites that are linked to our sites for which we are not responsible (“linked-sites”, “Useful Links”). These linked-sites will have their own policies and practices which may be different from ours. We therefore encourage you to familiarize yourself with the policies and practices of the linked-sites, especially if you provide personal information to them. CCW is committed to the Internet as a powerful means of communication, research and doing business. And CCW is committed to your privacy. To protect your privacy while allowing you to utilize all that CCW has to offer, we have developed and follow certain principles for audience and user privacy and data protection. CCW collects personal information about our users during registration for promotional notifications, payment processing, use of our site services, and order forms for our publications/newsletters. We may aggregate the data we collect to create a demographic picture of the audiences in order to improve site services. Personal information, such as your name and address, is used to service your account and to inform you about updates to our products and services. All tools and information provided are subject to change without prior notice. We carefully protect your data from loss, misuse, unauthorized access or disclosure, alteration, or destruction. CCW does NOT rent, sell, or share your personal information with other people or non-affiliated companies. As new features are added to the site or legal requirements change, this privacy policy may be modified. Any changes to CCW’s privacy policy will be posted online. By accessing the site, you agree to be bound by CCW’s privacy policy including any posted changes. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties pertaining to the subject matter hereof and shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Ohio without regard to the conflicts of laws provisions therein. In the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be held to be unenforceable, such provisions shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that this Agreement shall otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable.

Collection of your Personal Information

CCW collects personally identifiable information, such as your e-mail address, name, home or work address or telephone numbers. CCW also collects anonymous demographic information, which is not unique to you, such as your ZIP code, age, gender, preferences, interests and favorites.

CCW does not sell, rent or lease its customer lists to third parties. CCW may, from time to time, contact you on behalf of external business partners about a particular offering that may be of interest to you. In those cases, your unique personally identifiable information (e-mail, name, address, telephone number) is not transferred to the third party. In addition, CCW may share data with trusted partners to help us perform statistical analysis, send you email or postal mail, provide customer support, or arrange for deliveries.

Cookies

The CCW Web site use “Cookies” to help you personalize your online experience. Cookies are tiny text files stored by a user’s browser (e.g. EDGE, Internet Explorer, Safari, Firefox, Chrome, etc.) to save information for use in subsequent interactions with the site. This information can be anything that is known to the website owner and may include but is not limited to any content you provide via a form on the site, content you view, the date and time that you view this content, the products you purchase, or your location information. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you. One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize CCW pages, or register with CCW site or services, a cookie helps CCW to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the same CCW Web site, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the CCW features that you customized. You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the CCW services or Web sites you visit. We collect no personally identifiable information except for information you explicitly submit on this website. You are not required to accept any cookies to use this site. We use third-party cookies (such as the Google Analytics, MailChimp, WooCommerce, Stripe, and DoubleClick cookies) to gain insights about the demographics and usage behavior of our visitors and to serve advertising to them across the Internet.

Security of your Personal Information

CCW secures your personal information from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. CCW secures the personally identifiable information you provide on computer servers in a controlled, secure environment, protected from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. When personal information (such as a credit card number) is transmitted to other Web sites, it is protected through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol. CCW SHALL NOT BE LIABLE UNDER ANY CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHER THEORY (A) FOR LOSS OR INACCURACY OF DATA OR COST OF PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES OR TECHNOLOGY, OR (B) ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF REVENUES AND LOSS OF PROFITS.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

YouTube

Our website uses plugins from YouTube, which is operated by Google. The operator of the pages is YouTube LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA.  If you visit one of our pages featuring a YouTube plugin, a connection to the YouTube servers is established. Here the YouTube server is informed about which of our pages you have visited.  If you’re logged in to your YouTube account, YouTube allows you to associate your browsing behavior directly with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.  YouTube is used to help make our website appealing. This constitutes a justified interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) DSGVO.  Further information about handling user data, can be found in the data protection declaration of YouTube under https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy.

Vimeo

Our website uses features provided by the Vimeo video portal. This service is provided by Vimeo Inc., 555 West 18th Street, New York, New York 10011, USA.  If you visit one of our pages featuring a Vimeo plugin, a connection to the Vimeo servers is established. Here the Vimeo server is informed about which of our pages you have visited. In addition, Vimeo will receive your IP address. This also applies if you are not logged in to Vimeo when you visit our plugin or do not have a Vimeo account. The information is transmitted to a Vimeo server in the US, where it is stored.  If you are logged in to your Vimeo account, Vimeo allows you to associate your browsing behavior directly with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your Vimeo account.  For more information on how to handle user data, please refer to the Vimeo Privacy Policy at https://vimeo.com/privacy.

Google Web Fonts

For uniform representation of fonts, this page uses web fonts provided by Google. When you open a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache to display texts and fonts correctly.  For this purpose your browser has to establish a direct connection to Google servers. Google thus becomes aware that our web page was accessed via your IP address. The use of Google Web fonts is done in the interest of a uniform and attractive presentation of our plugin. This constitutes a justified interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) DSGVO.  If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font is used by your computer. Further information about handling user data, can be found at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google’s privacy policy at https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/.

SoundCloud

On our pages, plugins of the SoundCloud social network (SoundCloud Limited, Berners House, 47-48 Berners Street, London W1T 3NF, UK) may be integrated. The SoundCloud plugins can be recognized by the SoundCloud logo on our site. When you visit our site, a direct connection between your browser and the SoundCloud server is established via the plugin. This enables SoundCloud to receive information that you have visited our site from your IP address. If you click on the “Like” or “Share” buttons while you are logged into your SoundCloud account, you can link the content of our pages to your SoundCloud profile. This means that SoundCloud can associate visits to our pages with your user account. We would like to point out that, as the provider of these pages, we have no knowledge of the content of the data transmitted or how it will be used by SoundCloud. For more information on SoundCloud’s privacy policy, please go to https://soundcloud.com/pages/privacy.
