Privacy Policy

Our Commitment to Privacy

Please carefully review this Privacy Policy to learn how we collect, use, and protect any information you provide us and how you can manage your options to not have customer information disclosed.

This website is operated by Solarek Studio, LLC, the owner of Bridge Catalog and its services, and this privacy policy applies to this website only.

At Solarek Studio, we respect our customers and understand that you are concerned about privacy. Thus, we have instituted policies intended to ensure that your personal information is handled safely and responsibly.

As we continue to develop our website and take advantage of technologies to improve the services we offer, this policy likely will change. Therefore, we encourage you to refer to this policy on an ongoing basis so that you understand our current privacy policy.

If you have any questions about this policy, you can contact us in the following ways:
1) by using the Contact Us page on our website;
2) by postal mail at Solarek Studio, 339 East 9th St., Suite B, New York, 10003; or
3) by calling us at 1-212-254-9655.

What Information Do We Collect?
We collect various types of information depending upon how you use our site.

  • When you sign up for our services, we collect your business name, email address, phone number, and a password that you choose. This information is gathered to set up your account and allow you to access it at your convenience.
  • We also may receive information about your business from other sources and may add it to your account information. For example, we might learn that you sell a brand from that respective brand and add that information to your account.
  • We may acquire customer lists from other parties to invite new people to visit our website or use our services. Our policy is to acquire only lists of people who have indicated that they are willing to receive email offers. Also, each time we send an email, we provide people with the opportunity to opt out of receiving future emails.

What Are Cookies and Do We Use Them?
A cookie is a small piece of information sent by a website that is saved on your computer by your computer's browser. It holds information a site may need to interact with you and personalize your experience. Cookies can be used by a website to recognize you. But that does not necessarily mean any personal information is stored in the cookies. Solarek Studio does use cookies.

How Do We Use Your Information?
We may use your information in several ways, including the following:

  • To improve the content on our website. For example, we may use cookies to find out which parts of our site are visited most often.
  • To enhance your online experience. For example, we may use it to recognize you and welcome you to the site.
  • For marketing and promotional purposes. For example, we send out emails or direct mail to our customers about products or events that we think may be of interest to them. We also may send you offers for discounts or services.

Do We Share Your Information?
The information gathered may be shared with third parties, including companies with which we have a relationship. For example:

  • When you purchase from Solarek Studio, we may share information about you and your transaction with other companies to process your transaction, including credit card authorization.
  • In some cases, Solarek Studio may enter into a co-branding relationship with another website that offers you products or services that supplement our services. In those cases, you may link from Solarek Studio to another site to purchase the item. In that case, both Solarek Studio and the other website may receive your information.
  • For some of our services, Solarek Studio may provide you with a link to the supplier of that service to get further information. If you link to the supplier's site, the supplier may collect or receive information about you. Like other companies, Solarek Studio may use third-party advertising companies to serve ads (e.g., banners or links) on its behalf. These companies may employ cookies and action tags (also known as single-pixel gifs or web beacons) to measure advertising effectiveness.
  • We may contract with companies or persons to provide certain services. We call them our Service Providers. We provide our Service Providers with the information needed for them to perform these services.

In most of the above situations, these third parties will receive your information because you will be visiting their websites or using their links and, in doing so, you may provide information directly to them. Therefore, you should refer to their privacy policies to understand how they handle your information and what kinds of choices you have.

Solarek Studio may also share your personal information with outside companies that perform services for Solarek Studio. For example, we may retain an outside company to manage a database containing certain customer information or to create and distribute an email offering.

Additionally, Solarek Studio may share account or other information when we believe it is necessary to comply with the law or to protect our interests or property. This may include sharing information with other companies, lawyers, credit bureaus, agents, or government agencies in connection with issues related to fraud, credit, or debt collection.

In the event that some or all of the business assets of Solarek Studio are sold or transferred, we would transfer the corresponding information about our customers.

Because the Internet is global, information about you that we collect or that you submit may be transferred to, processed in, and held in countries (including the United States) other than the one in which you reside. By using the website, you explicitly consent to such use of your information.

Finally, Solarek Studio may share your personal information with unrelated outside companies so they can directly market their products or services to you if we feel that a company offers products or services that we believe may be of interest. We also may provide you with the opportunity to sign up on our website to receive such email offers.

What Choices Do You Have Regarding the Use of Your Information?
We provide you with a number of choices regarding our handling of your personal information, including your email address.

If you do not want to receive emails from Solarek Studio and/or do not want us to share your information with unrelated third parties for marketing purposes, please submit a request electronically by sending the following:

"Please do not send me email," or
"Keep my email address private," or
You can write "Unsubscribe" within Solarek Studio email communication.

Please visit our contact page here to change your privacy options via our online contact form.

Note: Once you have submitted your request, you should assume that it has been successfully received and is being processed. Please allow us 10 business days from when the request was received to complete the removal, as some of our promotions may already have been in process before the submission of your request.

If you prefer to, you may contact Solarek Studio by phone at 1-212-254-9655 or by mail at Solarek Studio, 339 East 9th St., Suite B, New York, 10003 to notify us of your request. Again, please allow 10 business days from when the request was received to process your removal.

Because customer lists often are prepared well in advance of an offering (sometimes 3-4 months before the offer is made), you may continue to receive some offers after you send us a request not to use your information for specified marketing purposes. We appreciate your patience and understanding in giving us time to carry out your request.

Problems
If you ever have a problem concerning the website or transaction or our compliance with this Privacy Policy, you may email members@bridge.org. Please provide your first and last name, and we will get back to you promptly.

Can I Access My Information?
If you are a registered user of Solarek Studio‘s Bridge service, you can update your information after logging in to the service.

Is My Information Secure?
Solarek Studio is committed to doing its best to maintain the security of information collected on our site. To prevent unauthorized access and ensure the correct use of information, we have put physical, electronic, and managerial procedures in place to safeguard the information we collect online.

We use encryption and authentication tools to protect the security of customer information that you share with us. However, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect customer information, we cannot guarantee or warrant the security of any information you transmit to or from our website, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we will do our best to protect its security on our systems.

Errors
Although the information on this site has been checked for accuracy, occasional errors and omissions occur and are subject to correction.

Policy Changes
If we decide to change our Privacy Policy, in whole or in part, we will inform you by posting a notice on our website. Those changes will go into effect on the date posted in the notice. The new policy will apply to all current and past users of our website and replace any prior policies that are inconsistent. This policy was last updated on September 14, 2021.

Thank you for using the services from Solarek Studio. If you have any questions or comments about this policy, please visit our Contact page.
