Thank you for choosing to be part of our community at General Steel Warehouse (“Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). We are committed to protecting your personal information, your right to privacy, and use of our website. If you have any questions or concerns about this Privacy Policy, Terms of Use, or our practices with regard to your personal information, please contact us.

Please read the following carefully. By using this Website, you acknowledge that you have read the following information and agree to be bound by them as may be amended by General Steel Warehouse, from time to time, and posted on this Website. If you do not agree to our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use, do not use this Website.

General Steel Warehouse’s Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and share information from or about you online when you visit this Website.

Web Forms

General Steel Warehouse uses forms on this website to offer users a mechanism for communicating with us. Any information submitted through any form on this website may be used by General Steel Warehouse to correspond with any user who has submitted information to General Steel Warehouse. We do not share this information with third parties unless otherwise agreed to by a website visitor through acknowledgment on specific forms throughout this website.

Analytics

General Steel Warehouse may use Google Analytics or Google Ads to gather basic information about website visitor behavior, interests, website performance, and other general data about this website and its use. Here are two of the most common Google Analytics advertising features that General Steel Warehouse may utilize, and the insights they provide:

• AdWords Remarketing: Uses behavior, demographic, and interest data to identify users who are likely to convert, and then allows you to target those users with remarketing campaigns through Google Ads.
• Demographics and Interests Reporting: Provides insight into the age, gender, and purchase interests of users, which General Steel Warehouse can use to better target audiences through advertisements.

Cookies

We may use cookies and similar tracking technologies (like web beacons and pixels) to access or store information. Specific information about how we use such technologies and how you can refuse certain cookies is set out in our Cookie Notice. General Steel Warehouse uses cookies in the following way:

• Web-browsing cookies: General Steel Warehouse may use web-browsing cookies to display information more effectively to you and to gather data about the usage of our website.
• Social Media Pixels: General Steel Warehouse may use social media pixels to allow General Steel Warehouse the ability to remarket to you on social media platforms through paid advertisements.

Other technologies we use may capture user-specific data to help us understand how users interact with our website and to assist us with resolving client’s, customer’s, or users questions regarding the use of our website.

Advertising

General Steel Warehouse may use pixel or cookie technologies to market to website visitors. However, most web browsers and some mobile operating systems and mobile applications include a Do-Not-Track (“DNT”) feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. At this stage, no uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been finalized. As such, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future, we will inform you about that practice in a revised version of this Privacy Policy.

How We Use and Share Information

Unless otherwise described in this Privacy Policy, General Steel Warehouse will not use and share any information that we collect from or about you with a third party, unless otherwise stated in this policy.

Looking out for Children

We do not knowingly market to or solicit information from children under 18 without parental consent. We recognize that protecting children’s identities and privacy online is important, and that the responsibility to do so rests with both the online industry and with parents. While General Steel Warehouse works to protect your personal information if it has been submitted to us, you also have responsibility. The internet is a public network. Childrens’ access to the internet can allow them to visit inappropriate websites and be exposed to unwanted risks. COPPA, the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act, protects children under the age of 13 from online collection of personal information. Parents can be proactive by installing filtering software that gives them more control over their family’s internet experience. We recommend that minors 18 years of age or older ask their parents for permission before sending any information about themselves to anyone over the Internet. Additionally, we do not knowingly target or re-market to anyone under the age of 18 through preventative measures put in place by third-party social media and advertising partners such as Google and Facebook.

General Steel Warehouse recognizes the importance of ensuring our websites are accessible to those with disabilities. This website endeavors to conform to Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1 A, AA).
