Skyline Privacy Policy back to top

PLEASE READ THIS PRIVACY POLICY CAREFULLY.  By accessing and using the Technology, you agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy.

This privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) discloses the privacy practices for www.skyline.com. This Privacy Policy is between you (sometimes referred to as “you” or “your”) and Skyline Displays, LLC, a Minnesota corporation, and its subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively referred to as “Skyline Displays”, “us”, “our”, or “we”). This Privacy Policy governs and applies solely to information collected, used, maintained, and disclosed by us from your use of www.skyline.com (the “Site”) and any other offerings, features, tools, and resources provided through our website or other online platforms (collectively, the “Technology”). It will notify you of the following:

1. What personally identifiable information is collected from you through the Technology, how it is used and with whom it may be shared.
2. What choices are available to you regarding the use of your data.
3. The security procedures in place to protect the misuse of your information.
4. How you can correct any inaccuracies in the information.

Remember that your use of the Technology is at all times subject to our Terms of Service located on this page, which incorporates this Privacy Policy.  

We keep this Privacy Policy posted on our website, available at www.skyline.com/about-us/privacy-policy, and you should review it frequently, as it may change from time to time without notice. ANY CHANGES WILL BE EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY UPON THE POSTING OF THE REVISED PRIVACY POLICY. BY ACCESSING AND USING OUR TECHNOLOGY, YOU ARE CONSENTING TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS PRIVACY POLICY.  

IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY, OR TO ANY CHANGES WE MAY SUBSEQUENTLY MAKE, IMMEDIATELY STOP ACCESSING AND USING OUR TECHNOLOGY.

Please remember that this Privacy Policy applies only to information collected by our Technology, and may be supplemented by additional policies, procedures, disclaimers, guidelines, rules, terms or conditions of specific application disclosed by us, including through a registration process, a purchase process or other means.  In the event of a conflict between this Privacy Policy and any additional policies, procedures, disclaimers, guidelines, rules, terms or conditions of specific application, the additional policies, procedures, disclaimers, guidelines, rules, terms or conditions of specific application shall control with respect to that specific application. We are also not responsible for the privacy of any information you reveal or post in any public forum (e.g., message board, blog, product reviews, chat room or social media site) or in the User Content (as described below).

Information Collection, Use and Sharing
Our Technology has the ability to collect two types of information from and about you: (i) personally identifiable information; and (ii) non-personally identifiable information, both as defined below. We are the sole owners of the information collected on our Technology. We only have access to or collect information from you (i) through your use of the Technology; and (ii) that you voluntarily give us via email or other direct contact from you.

Personally Identifiable Information
Our definition of personally identifiable information includes any information that may be used to specifically identify or contact you, such as your name, postal and email addresses, phone number or bank, debit or credit card information. In certain circumstances, we may request, allow or otherwise provide you an opportunity to submit your personally identifiable information in connection with a feature, program, promotion, sale or some other aspect of our Technology. For instance, you may (i) provide your name, address, and email address to register an account with us or register to learn more; (ii) provide certain demographic information about yourself (e.g., age, gender, purchase preference, usage frequency, etc.) when participating in a survey or poll, or registering or creating a profile through any of our Technology; (iii) provide payment information when providing payment via our Technology; or (iv) post a general comment and/or recommendation on our Site or other Technology. Certain information may not be personally identifiable when standing alone (e.g., your age), but may become so when combined with other information (e.g., your age and name). Whether or not you provide this information is your choice; however, in many instances this type of information is required to participate in the particular activity or service, realize a benefit we may offer or gain access to certain content through our Technology.

Non-Personal Information
Our definition of non-personal information is any information that does not personally identify you. Non-personal information can include certain personally identifiable information that has been de-identified; that is, information that has been rendered anonymous. We obtain non-personal information about you from information that you provide us, either separately or together with your personally identifiable information. We also automatically collect certain non-personal information from you when you access our Technology. This information can include, among other things: your IP address or other unique identifiers that are automatically assigned to your computer, mobile or other device used to access the Technology; the type of browser you are using (e.g., Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, etc.); the third party website from which your visit originated; the operating system you are using (e.g., Vista, Windows XP, Mac OS, etc.); the domain name of your Internet service provider; the search terms you use on our Technology; the specific areas within our Technology that you visit; and the time of day and duration of your visits.

We will use your information to respond to you regarding the reason you contacted us, to fulfill your requests for our products and services, to personalize your online experience and in other ways naturally associated with the circumstances in which you provided the information. Unless you ask us not to, we may contact you in the future to tell you about specials, new products or services, changes to this privacy policy or to communicate with you about content or other information you have posted or shared with us via our Technology.

We may use the non-personally identifiable information that we collect in a variety of ways, including to administer the Technology, help us analyze site traffic, understand customer needs and trends, marketing activities, to carry out targeted promotional activities, improve the quality of the pages that make up our Technology, gather broad demographic information and to improve our Technology. We may use your non-personal information by itself or aggregate it with information we have obtained from others. We may share your non-personal information with our affiliated companies and/or third parties, including sharing aggregated demographic information with our partners and advertisers, to achieve these objectives and others.

In addition to the foregoing, we may use your personally identifiable information or non-personal information as follows:

1. When required by law or court order;
2. To provide you with information or services or process transactions that you have requested or agreed to receive, including to send you electronic newsletters, to facilitate a purchase, or to provide you with special offers or promotional materials on behalf of us or third parties;
3. To process your registration with the Technology, including verifying your information is active and valid;
4. To improve the Technology, to customize your experience with the Technology or to serve you specific content that we believe is relevant to you;
5. To enable you to participate in a variety of the Technology’s features, such as online or mobile entry sweepstakes, contests or other promotions;
6. To contact you with regard to your use of the Technology and, in our discretion, changes to the Technology and related policies;
7. For inclusion in our data analytics;
8. For purposes disclosed at the time you provide your information or as otherwise set forth in this Privacy Policy;
9. To protect or defend our legal rights or property, our Technology or other users; and
10. During an emergency to protect the health and safety of our users or the general public.

We will not knowingly sell or rent your personally identifiable information to anyone, except as described in this Privacy Policy or as you otherwise authorize or direct us.

Except as described in this Privacy Policy, we will not share any of your information with any third party outside of our organization, including our affiliates and related companies, our contractors, vendors, consultants and professional advisors to the extent necessary for them to perform services on our behalf, and persons or entities with whom we have marketing, business or other relationships, other than as necessary to fulfill your request, such as to process and ship an order. For example, we may use a third party shipping company to ship orders, or a credit card processing company to bill users for goods and services, or if we partner with another party to provide specific services, then when the user signs up for these services, we will share names or other contact information that is necessary for the third party to provide these services.

Your Access to and Control Over Information
You may opt out of any future contacts from us at any time. You can do the following at any time by contacting us via the email address or phone number given on our Site:

• See what data we have about you, if any.
• Change/correct any data we have about you.
• Have us delete any data we have about you.
• Express any concern you have about our use of your data.

Security
When you submit information to us through any of our Technology, you should be aware that your information is transmitted across the Internet and that no method of transmission over the Internet is completely or 100% secure. While we take reasonable precautions to protect your information, you also need to ensure you take appropriate steps to protect your information. We have implemented security measures we consider reasonable and appropriate to protect against the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our control. Please be advised, however, that while we strive to protect your personally identifiable information, other information and privacy, we cannot guarantee or warrant the security of any information you disclose or transmit to us online, and we are not responsible for the theft, destruction or inadvertent disclosure of your personally identifiable information or any other information. In the unfortunate event that your “personally identifiable information” (as the term or similar terms are defined by any applicable law requiring notice upon a security breach) is compromised, we may notify you by e-mail (at our sole and absolute discretion), to the last e-mail address you have provided us, in the most expedient time reasonable under the circumstances; provided, however, delays in notification may occur while we take necessary measures to determine the scope of the breach and restore reasonable integrity to the system as well as for the legitimate needs of law enforcement if notification would impede a criminal investigation. From time to time, we evaluate new technology for protecting information and, when appropriate, we upgrade our information security systems.

Updates to this Privacy Policy
Our Privacy Policy may change from time to time and all updates will be posted on this page.

Information Collection Methods
A few of the methods and/or avenues that may be used to collect non-personal information include, without limitation, the following (as well as subsequent technology and methods later developed):

Cookies
We use “cookies” on our Technology. A cookie is a piece of data stored on a user’s hard drive to help us improve your access to our Technology and identify repeat visitors to our Technology. For instance, when we use a cookie to identify you, you may not have to log in using a password more than once, thereby saving time while on our Technology. Cookies can also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our Technology. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any personally identifiable information on our Technology.

Some of our business partners may use cookies on our Technology (for example, advertisers). However, we have no access to or control over these cookies.

Web Beacons  
“Web beacons” are small graphic images or other web programming code that may be included in our Site pages or other areas of the Technology. Web beacons are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, and are used to track the online movements of users of our Site pages and Technology.  Unlike cookies, which are typically stored on your computer or mobile device’s hard drive, web beacons are embedded invisibly on web pages. Web beacons or similar technologies help us better manage content on our Site and other Technology by informing us what content is effective, counting the number of users of the Site and other Technology, monitoring how users navigate the Site and other Technology or counting how many e-mails, articles or links  were actually opened or viewed.

Embedded Scripts
An “embedded script” is programming code that is designed to collect information about your interactions with the Technology, such as the links you click on. The code is temporarily downloaded onto your computer, mobile or other device from our server or a third party service provider.

Web Traffic and Web Performance Analytics
We may also collect information using a variety of reports from web traffic and web performance analytics companies to improve our Technology. This information allows us to better understand users of the Technology and to customize the Technology while also tracking our success at reaching new audiences. This Privacy Policy does not govern the ability of any third party analytics company to use and share information collected by such company.

IP Addresses
An IP address is a number that is assigned to your computer, mobile or other computing device whenever you are surfing the Internet. Web servers (computers that “serve up” web pages) automatically identify your computer or other computing device by its IP address. When users request pages from our Technology, our servers may log their IP addresses. We may collect IP addresses for the following purposes, among others: system administration, to report non-personal aggregate information to others and to track the use of our Technology. IP addresses are considered non-personal information and may also be shared as provided above.

Email Communications
If you send us an email with questions or comments, we may use your personally identifiable information to respond to your questions or comments, and we may save your questions or comments for future reference. For security reasons, we do not recommend that you send non-public personal information, such as passwords, credit card information, social security numbers or bank account information, to us by email. In certain instances, we may provide you with the option to set your preferences for receiving email communications from us; that is, agree to some communications, but not others. We reserve the right to send you transactional emails such as customer service communications or receipts.

Information from your Mobile Device
We may also use technologies, such as location based information, to provide you with tailored information and features as you use our Technology.  When you access the Technology on your mobile device, including, but not limited to, mobile phones and tablets (“Mobile Device”), we may obtain information from your Mobile Device about the type of Mobile Device you are using. We may use this information to notify you of features and products that may be available on your Mobile Device. Certain features may require our collection of the phone number of your Mobile Device. We may link that phone number to the Mobile Device identification information, but will not use that number for telemarketing. In addition, some mobile network providers (“Mobile Provider”) in the U.S. are required to use technology that tracks the physical location of Mobile Devices that use their service. Depending on your Mobile Provider and Mobile Device, we may automatically receive this information. If we begin to offer services that use this tracking (“pinpointing”) information, we will obtain your consent (an opt-in) before using the information. After obtaining such consent, we may use and store this information to provide location-based services, including location-targeted advertising.  Most Mobile Devices provide users with the ability to disable location services. These controls are usually located in the Mobile Device’s settings menu. If you have questions about how to disable your Mobile Device’s location services, we recommend you contact your Mobile Provider or your Mobile Device manufacturer.

Links
Our Technology contains links to other, third party sites that we do not control or maintain. Please be aware that we are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage our users that leave our Site or Technology to be aware of and to read the privacy statements of any other site, as we have no control over information that is submitted to, or collected by, these third parties. We cannot and will not be responsible for the protection and privacy of any information that you provide while visiting such websites and such websites are not governed by this Privacy Policy..

From time-to-time our Technology requests information via surveys or contests. Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary and you may choose whether or not to participate and therefore disclose this information. Information requested may include contact information (such as name and shipping address) and demographic information (such as zip code and age level). For contests, contact information will be used in accordance and subject to the rules applying to such contest and to notify the winners and award prizes – please read any contest rules carefully before submitting any information. Survey information will be used for purposes of monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction of the Technology.

User-Generated Content and Public Forums
The Technology may offer publicly accessible community forums or other ways to permit you to submit ideas, photographs, user profiles, writings, recordings, computer graphics, pictures, data, questions, reviews, comments, suggestions or other content, including personally identifiable information (collectively, “User Content”). We or others may reproduce, publish, distribute or otherwise use User Content online or offline in any media or format (currently existing or later developed). Others may have access to this User Content and may have the ability to share it with third parties across the Internet. You should be aware that any User Content you provide in these areas may be read, collected and used by others who access them. Thus, please think carefully before deciding what information you share, including personally identifiable information, in connection with your User Content. Please note that we do not control who will have access to the information that you choose to make public, and cannot ensure that parties who have access to such publicly available information will respect your privacy or keep it secure. This Privacy Policy does not apply to any information that you disclose publicly, share with others or otherwise upload. We are not responsible for the accuracy, use or misuse of any content or information that you disclose or receive. To request removal of your User Content from our community forum or similar features, contact us as set forth below. In some cases, we may not be able to remove your User Content, in which case we will let you know if we are unable to do so and why.

No Children
We are committed to protecting the privacy of children. Our Technology is not designed for or directed to children under the age of 13. We do not collect personally identifiable information from any person we actually know is under the age of 13. We urge all parents or guardians to participate in their children’s exploration of the Internet, and to teach their children about protecting their personally identifiable information while online. If you use the Technology, you hereby represent and warrant that you are at least 13 years of age. In compliance with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act, any information we receive from users we believe to be under the age of 13 will be purged from our database.  

Users from Outside the United States
Our Technology is hosted in the United States and is governed by United States law. If you are using our Technology from outside the United States, please be aware that your information may be transferred to, stored and processed in the United States where our servers are located and our central database is operated. The data protection and other laws of the United States and other countries might not be as comprehensive as those in your country. By using our Technology, you expressly consent to your information being transferred to our facilities and to the facilities of those third parties with whom we share it as described in this Privacy Policy.

Sole Statement
This Privacy Policy, as posted on our Site at www.skyline.com/about-us/privacy-policy, is the sole statement of our privacy policy with respect to our Site and our Technology, and no summary, modification, restatement or other version thereof, or other privacy statement or policy, in any form, is valid unless we post a new or revised policy.

Effective Date
This Privacy Policy is effective as of  September 26 , 2016.
If you feel that we are not abiding by this Privacy Policy, you should contact us immediately via telephone at 1-800-328-2725 or via email at skyinfo@skyline.com.

Skyline California Privacy Notice
Effective January 1, 2020
A new privacy law that provides California consumers certain rights regarding their personal information became effective on January 1, 2020.  However, as of that date the California Attorney General had not completed the rule making process to establish the regulations for businesses to implement the law.  Accordingly, we are delaying our full implementation of the law until we have definitive guidance from final regulations, and it will take some time following the date the regulations are final to implement them.  In the meantime, we are providing you with notice of the personal information we collect and our purposes for that collection.  In addition, if you are a California consumer and would like to register a request under your “right to know about personal information collected, disclosed or sold” (including right to obtain copies of specific pieces and/or information about categories of personal information practices), “right to request deletion of personal information” or “right to opt-out of the sale of personal information,” you can contact us at info@skyline.com and we will respond to your request as and when we have guidance on how to properly respond to your requests and are able to do so; however, be advised that these rights do not apply to personal information collected from (a) job applicants, current and former employees and independent contractors (“HR Data Subjects”), or (b) representatives of another business in connection with business communications or transactions (“B-to-B Data Subjects”).  HR Data Subjects who are also California residents may learn more about our data collection practices by contacting our human resources department.  We appreciate your patience.  

We collect personal information (PI) from California consumers (but excluding B-to-B Data Subjects, who are not entitled to this notice) for the following purposes:

We will revise this CCPA Privacy Notice from time-to-time as the law becomes more clear and we are able to provide you with better information on your CCPA rights and how to exercise them.  

Although there is not yet a consensus, we currently do not believe that the collection of data by third party cookies and related technologies associated with our online services result in a sale of your PI by us. 

Your California Privacy Rights
California Civil Code Section 1798.83 permits users that are residents of California to request the following information regarding our disclosure of your personal information to third parties for those third parties’ direct marketing purposes: (i) a list of certain categories of personally identifiable information that we have disclosed to certain third parties for their direct marketing purposes during the immediately preceding calendar year; (ii) the identity of certain third parties that received personally identifiable information from us for their direct marketing purposes during that calendar year; and (iii) examples of the products or services marketed (if we have that information).  If you are a California resident and would like to make such a request, please email us at skyinfo@skyline.com or write us at the address below:

General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) back to top

Skyline Exhibits' commitment to the General Data Protection Regulation

The GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) is an important piece of legislation that is designed to strengthen and unify data protection laws for all individuals within the European Union. The regulation became effective and enforceable on the May 25, 2018.

Our commitment:
Skyline Exhibits is fully committed to achieving compliance with the GDPR.

What are we doing about the GDPR?
Skyline Exhibits began to dedicate internal resources to the GDPR in early 2018 and it continues through 2019. We did this because we value our customers' rights to privacy.

Here’s a synopsis of our GDPR Roadmap:

• Research the areas of our product and our business impacted by GDPR
• Engage with GDPR consultant
• Rewrite our privacy policy
• Develop a strategy and requirements for how to address the areas of our product impacted by GDPR
• Review all existing contacts in our CRM (contact relationship manager) database
• Feedback consent controls
• Suppression control
• Implement the required changes to our internal processes and procedures required to achieve and maintain compliance with GDPR
• Finalize and communicate our full compliance

I’m new to the GDPR and would love more details on what it is?

The General Data Protection Act (GDPR) is considered to be the most significant piece of European data protection legislation to be introduced in the European Union (EU) in 20 years and will replace the the 1995 Data Protection Directive.

The GDPR regulates the processing of personal data about individuals in the European Union including its collection, storage, transfer or use. Importantly, under the GDPR, the concept of “personal data” is very broad and covers any information relating to an identified or identifiable individual (also called a “data subject”).

It gives data subjects more rights and control over their data by regulating how companies should handle and store the personal data they collect. The GDPR also raises the stakes for compliance by increasing enforcement and imposing greater fines should the provisions of the GDPR be breached.

The GDPR enhances EU individuals’ privacy rights and places significantly enhanced obligations on organizations handling data.

In summary, here are some of the key changes to come into effect with the upcoming GDPR:
Expanded rights for individuals: The GDPR provides expanded rights for individuals in the European Union by granting them, amongst other things, the right to be forgotten and the right to request a copy of any personal data stored in their regard.
Compliance obligations: The GDPR requires organizations to implement appropriate policies and security protocols, conduct privacy impact assessments, keep detailed records on data activities and enter into written agreements with vendors.
Data breach notification and security: The GDPR requires organizations to report certain data breaches to data protection authorities, and under certain circumstances, to the affected data subjects. The GDPR also places additional security requirements on organizations.
New requirements for profiling and monitoring: The GDPR places additional obligations on organizations engaged in profiling or monitoring behavior of EU individuals.
Increased Enforcement: Under the GDPR, authorities can fine organizations up to  €20 million or 4% of a company’s annual global revenue, based on the seriousness of the breach and damages incurred. Also, the GDPR provides a central point of enforcement for organizations with operations in multiple EU member states by requiring companies to work with a lead supervisory authority for cross-border data protection issues.
If you are a company located in the EU, you should already be aware of this. The provisions of the GDPR apply to any organization that processes personal data of individuals in the European Union, including tracking their online activities, regardless of whether the organization has a physical presence in the EU.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us at info at skyline.com. Thank you.
