Other Third-Party Tracking

From time to time Alchemy engages third parties, including but not limited to, Google Analytics which use images and scripts, to help better manage content on the web site.

Alchemy uses cookies to make interactions with the Website easy and meaningful. When a Visitor interacts with the Website, the web servers send a cookie to the Visitor’s computer.

For the Website, Alchemy uses cookies that are session-based. Session cookies exist only during one session. They disappear from the Visitor’s computer upon closing their browser software or turning off their computer.

Most browsers have an option for turning off cookies, which will prevent the browser from accepting new cookies, as well as (depending on the sophistication of the browser software) allowing the Visitor to decide on acceptance of each new cookie in a variety of ways.

2. IP Addresses and Browser Information:

When a Visitor interacts with the Website, Alchemy collects the Visitor’s Internet Protocol (“IP”) address(es), browser information and operating system to track and aggregate non-personal information. For example, Alchemy uses IP addresses to monitor the regions from which Visitors navigate the web site, and for marketing purposes.

Exercising Access, Data Portability, and Deletion Rights

To exercise the access, data portability, and deletion rights described above, please submit a verifiable request to Us by emailing info@alchemytechgroup.com. Only You, or someone legally authorized to act on Your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to Your Personal Information. You may also make a request on behalf of Your minor child. You may only make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period. The request must:

• Provide enough information that allows Us to reasonably verify You are the person about whom We collected Personal Information or an authorized representative; and
• Describe Your request with enough detail that allows Us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.

We will only use Personal Information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request. We endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within 45 days of its receipt. If We require more time (up to 90 days), We will inform You of the reason and extension period in writing. If You have an account with us, We will deliver our written response to that account. If You do not have an account with us, We will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at Your option. Any disclosures We provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the verifiable consumer request’s receipt. The response We provide will also explain the reasons We cannot comply with a request, if applicable. We do not charge a fee to process or respond to Your request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If We determine that the request warrants a fee, We will tell You why We made that decision and provide You with a cost estimate before completing Your request.

We employ a variety of privacy and security controls that include people, process and technology measures to ensure we keep Personal information secure, current and maintain data integrity. These measures include (i) education and training to relevant staff to ensure they are aware of Our privacy obligations when handling Personal Information, (ii) administrative and technical controls to restrict access to Personal Information to designated IT staff and other key personnel who are on a “need to know” basis, and (iii) technological security measures, including but not limited to, fire walls, encryption and anti-virus software.
