12. Changes to this Privacy Policy
Alkabo, LLC, D/B/A DMARK Energy Solutions (“DMark,” “we,” “us,” “our”) strives to build and maintain a relationship of trust with you. This Privacy Policy (the “Privacy Policy”) describes how we collect, use, and disclose your Personal Information (as defined below) and how to exercise rights you might have with respect to this information. This Privacy Policy governs Personal Information we collect through our websites (“Sites”). This Privacy Policy also governs Personal Information you provide to us offline related to our products or services (collectively, “Services”).
This Privacy Policy describes the Personal Information we collect about you, how we use this information, the choices you have regarding how we use this information, and other information regarding our privacy practices. Before engaging with our Sites, submitting information to us, or using our Services, please review this Privacy Policy. By visiting our Sites or using our Services, you agree and acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy.
“Personal Information” is any information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, to you or your household. Personal Information does not include publicly available information. We may collect, use, store, and transfer the categories of information listed below, and we may use the Personal Information we collect to draw inferences about you, such as your preferences or habits. Please note that the types of Personal Information we collect about you will vary based on how you use the Sites and/or Services and your relationship with us.
Information You Provide Directly
We may collect Personal Information you provide directly to us via the Sites. For example, we collect Personal Information when you communicate with us using our Site’s contact form. This information typically includes your first and last name, email address, and any other information you provide in such communications. You may also provide Personal Information to us via email or offline when inquiring about our Services.
Information We Collect Automatically
We, and our service providers, may also automatically collect certain information about you when you access or use the Sites (“Usage Information”). Usage Information may include IP address, device identifier, browser type, operating system, time zone, information about your usage of and interaction with the Sites, devices you use, the web page you visited before coming to our sites, and identifiers associated with your devices.
The methods that may be used on the Sites to collect Usage Information include cookies, web beacons (also known as tracking pixels), embedded scripts, location-identifying technologies, device recognition technologies, device and activity monitoring and other tracking technologies now and hereafter developed (“Tracking Technologies”). Tracking Technologies may be used to collect information about your interactions with the Sites, Services, and/or e-mails from DMark.
Some information about your use of the Sites may be collected using Tracking Technologies across time and websites and used by us and third parties for purposes such as to associate different devices you use and deliver relevant ads and/or other content to you on the Sites and on certain other online websites. See the Tracking Technologies Choices section of this Privacy Policy below for additional information about Tracking Technologies.
We may use the Personal Information we collect from you for the following purposes:
We may combine information across our systems, platforms, and databases. This includes combining information we receive from third parties and information about your use of our Sites and Services. We may also combine information about your use of one Service with information we get from your use of another Service.
Tracking Technologies Generally
Regular cookies may generally be disabled or removed by tools available as part of most commercial browsers, and in some instances blocked in the future by selecting certain settings. Browsers offer different functionalities and options, so you may need to set them separately. Also, tools from browsers may not be effective with regard to certain Tracking Technologies. Please be aware that if you disable or remove these technologies, some parts of the Sites may not work, and when you revisit the Sites, your ability to limit browser-based Tracking Technologies is subject to your browser settings and limitations.
Your browser settings may allow you to automatically transmit a “Do Not Track” signal to online Websites you visit. Like many online services and websites, we currently do not alter our practices when we receive a “Do Not Track” signal from a visitor’s browser. To find out more about “Do Not Track,” you can visit http://www.allaboutdnt.com, but we are not responsible for the completeness or accuracy of this third party information.
Interest Based Advertising and Limitations
We may engage and work with third parties to serve advertisements by email, on the Sites and/or on other online websites. Some of these ads may be tailored to your interest based on your interaction with the Sites and elsewhere on the Internet, sometimes referred to as “interest-based advertising” and “online behavioral advertising” (“Interest-based Advertising”).
We are not responsible for, and make no representations regarding, the policies or business practices of any third parties, including, without limitation, data analytics service providers operating on our Sites. We encourage you to familiarize yourself with and consult their privacy policies and terms of use. See the “Tracking Technologies Choices” section below for information about choices offered by those third parties regarding their data collection and use.
Analytics and Advertising Tracking Technologies
You may exercise choices regarding the use of cookies from Google Analytics by going to https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout or downloading the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
You may choose not to receive some interest-based advertising by submitting opt-out requests. Some advertisers and service providers that perform advertising-related services for us on our Sites and on third party websites may participate in the Digital Advertising Alliance’s (“DAA”) Self-Regulatory Program for Online Behavioral Advertising. To learn more about how to exercise certain choices regarding interest-based advertising, including use of cross-device data for serving ads, visit http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ and http://www.aboutads.info/appchoice. Some of these companies may also be members of the Network Advertising Initiative (“NAI”). To learn more about the NAI and your opt-out options for their members, see http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/. Please be aware that, even if you are able to opt out of certain kinds of interest-based advertising, you may continue to receive other types of ads. Opting out only means that those selected members should no longer deliver certain interest-based advertising to you. It does not mean you will no longer receive any targeted content and/or ads (e.g., from other ad networks). Also, if your browsers are configured to reject cookies when you visit these opt-out webpages, or you subsequently erase your cookies, use a different device or web browser or use a non-browser-based method of access (e.g., mobile app), your NAI / DAA browser-based opt-out may no longer, be effective. We support the ad industry’s Self-regulatory Principles for Online Behavioral Advertising and we expect that ad networks we directly engage to serve you interest-based advertising will do so as well, though we cannot guaranty their compliance.
We may disclose your Personal Information under any of the following circumstances:
Disclosure of Personal Information to Our Service Providers
We may share your Personal Information with our service providers to provide the Sites and Services to you. We require all such service providers to treat the information we share with them as confidential and to use it only for providing their services to us. These service providers include:

We may share your Personal Information to comply with applicable laws and regulations, to respond to a subpoena, search warrant or other lawful request for information we receive, or to otherwise protect our rights.

Our Sites and Services are not intended for or directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware that we have collected the personal information of a child, we will delete all such data in accordance with applicable law.
We retain your Personal Information for no longer than is necessary to achieve the purposes for which the Personal Information was collected, or as may otherwise be permitted or required under applicable law.
When federal, state, and local laws and regulations require a higher level of protection for your Personal Information, they take precedence over this Privacy Policy. In addition, the specific requirements of this Privacy Policy will apply unless disallowed by local laws and regulations.
