2. The Data We Collect
Cookies.
Like many other companies, we use cookies and other tracking technologies (collectively, “Cookies”). Cookies are small files of information that are stored by your web browser software on your computer hard drive, mobile or other devices (e.g., smartphones or tablets). We may use cookie data to understand and save your preferences for future visits, allowing us to customize the Site to your individual needs, to recognize when you return to the Site, to save your user ID, to track usage information, to troubleshoot how the Site operates, and for internal analysis of audience size and usage patterns. We also use tracking parameters (such as UTM tags) and cookies to understand how users arrive at and interact with the Site, including which marketing campaigns or referral sources led users to visit. When you first visit our Site, we will present you with a banner which offers you choices about whether to accept or reject cookies or tracking technologies of different types. To manage your Cookie settings, please click on the paperclip icon in the lower left-hand corner of the Site, or “Your Privacy Choices” in the Site’s footer. Should you decide not to accept cookies from the Site, you will limit the functionality we can provide you.
Location Information. We may collect information about your location if you provide your address or zip code or we may approximate your location based on your IP address.
Through Your Interactions with Us. When you engage in certain activities on the Site or otherwise interact with us, such as using the Contact Us feature on the Site, applying for a job, purchasing a Service, or making an inquiry with us, we may ask you to provide personal and other information. The information required will depend on the activity and could include your name, email address, contact number, physical address, credit card or other financial information. Whether or not you provide this information is your choice; however, if you do not provide the required information for a particular activity, you will not be able to engage in that activity. You may also limit your ability to use all or a portion of the Site. If you are a registered user of the Site, we may track when and how you use the Site and the operations you perform on the Site.
Information Obtained from Other Sources. In addition to the information we receive from you directly, we may obtain your name, email address, physical address, phone number, or other similar contact information about you from other companies and organizations, such as marketing and sales generation partners, advertising and analytics partners, your employer, corporate affiliates (e.g., parent company, sister companies, subsidiaries, or other companies under common control), and from service providers that may perform certain operations on our behalf. We may combine information received from other sources with information we have collected or may collect about you. We may also collect information that is publicly available. For example, we may collect information about you when you interact with us through social media. We are not responsible for the accuracy of any information provided by other sources or the data practices of other sources.
3. Use and Disclosure of the Data We Collect
Generally, we process and use personal information to provide and improve our Services, including the Site, for purposes in our legitimate interests and for compliance with applicable laws.
To Operate Our Business. We process personal information where: (a) you have given consent to the processing, either to us or to our service providers; (b) processing is necessary to perform a contract with you; (c) processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by us or a third party; or (d) processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation.
We may use your personal information for particular business activities, including, without limitation, responding to your inquiries, providing Services to you, processing your orders, providing you updates on the status of your orders, customer service and support, customer feedback surveys, marketing and research, developing and displaying content tailored to your interests, reviewing your job application, providing product, promotional and other information to you, providing you with updates on special offers and events offered by Summit, and to contact you regarding administrative notices or to solicit feedback on your experience with us.
Depending on the circumstances and the nature of the information, we may share this information with our corporate affiliates, marketing partners, and other parties with whom we collaborate. For example, we may share information with a corporate affiliate in order to respond to your questions and comments, market and advertise to you, and otherwise comply with applicable law. In addition, when we use service providers, these service providers may have access to your personal information to perform contractually specified services on our behalf.
To Improve our Business. We may use your IP address and similar Site use information to: (i) help diagnose problems with the Site, administer and improve the Site, measure the use of the Site, and detect security issues with the Site; (ii) identify the type of web browsers used, the pages viewed, the websites from which a visitor found the Site, and the search terms and search engines used to find the Site; and (iii) gather other analytics information relating to use and navigation of the Site. This information does not identify you personally. On occasion we may aggregate this data with data from other users to track overall visitor traffic and usage patterns and provide this aggregate information to vendors, business partners, or corporate affiliates.
The information we obtain using standard Internet technology, such as web page tags, enables us to provide diagnostics about system stability and performance of the Site.
We may use your location information to provide personalized content and advertising, to enhance your experience with the Site, to assist us with analytics, and to improve the effectiveness of our Site.
We may use the information in an anonymous or aggregated format that does not identify you personally, which uses might include, without limitation, to evaluate existing products, services, and systems; to assist in the development of new Services; research; advertising; and to identify trends and changes.
For Law Enforcement, Regulators and Other Parties for Legal Reasons. We may also disclose personal information in any of the following circumstances: (a) in response to a subpoena, search warrant, court order, or other legal process or request, or as may otherwise be required by law, rule, or regulation; (b) to protect and defend our rights or property or those of our corporate affiliates, business partners, or others; or (c) as we, in our sole discretion, believe is appropriate under exigent circumstances in response to a perceived threat to the personal safety, property, or rights of any person or organization.
In addition, since our database is a business asset, in the event we are reorganized or become part of another organization, you consent to the sale, assignment, or transfer of your personal information to a successor that acquires substantially all of our business assets, or to a corporate affiliate, as applicable.
We do not sell personal information to third parties. Other than as set forth in this Privacy Policy, we do not transfer, share or disclose personal information to third parties. We do not disclose personal information of individuals we know to be under the age of 16 to other businesses or third parties for consideration except as noted above.
4. Universal Opt-Out Mechanisms
The Site recognizes the Global Privacy Control (“GPC”) signal. If you are using a browser setting or plug-in that sends an opt-out preference signal to each website you visit, we will treat that as a valid request to opt out. To download and use a browser supporting the GPC browser signal, click here: https://globalprivacycontrol.org/orgs. If you choose to use the GPC signal, you will need to turn it on for each supported browser or browser extension you use.
Some internet browsers incorporate a “Do Not Track” feature that signals to websites you visit that you do not want to have your online activity tracked. Given that there is not a uniform way that browsers communicate the “Do Not Track” signal, the Site does not currently interpret, respond to or alter its practices when it receives “Do Not Track” signals.
5. Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. Google Analytics uses Cookies to help us analyze how users interact with the Site, compile reports on their activity, and provide other services related to their activity and usage. The technologies used by Google may collect information such as your IP address, time of visit, whether you are a returning visitor, and any referring website. The information generated by Google Analytics will be transmitted to and stored by Google and will be subject to Google’s privacy policies. To learn more about Google’s partner services and to learn how to opt out of tracking of analytics by Google, click here.
The Site is not intended for children under the age of 13 and we will not knowingly collect, use, or disclose personal information from children under the age of 13 on the Site.
7. Security of Personal Information
We maintain commercially reasonable security measures to protect the personal data we collect and store from loss, misuse, destruction, or unauthorized access. However, no security measure or modality of data transmission over the Internet is 100% secure. Although we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee absolute security. We may transmit your personal data to third parties outside the United States for storage or processing. We will attempt to ensure that your personal information will be subject to appropriate safeguards and that it is processed and secured in accordance with applicable law.
8. Our Relationship to Other Websites
The Site may contain links that will let you leave the Site and access another website. If you visit one of these other websites, we encourage you to review the privacy policy on that website. We are not responsible or liable for these other websites, and any information you submit to those websites is subject to their privacy policies.
9. Privacy Rights and Requests

All communications should clearly state what information you are requesting and any other requests you are making.

For your protection and to the extent allowed by law, we may ask you for additional information to verify your identity. In most cases, we will provide the information you request and correct or delete any inaccurate personal information you discover.

10. How Long We Keep Personal Information
We retain your personal information for as long as is necessary for the purpose(s) for which we collected it, such as to provide you with the service you have requested, or for other legitimate business purposes, including to meet our legal, accounting, contractual, regulatory, reporting, or other compliance obligations that apply to us.
11. Changes to Privacy Policy
From time to time, we may change this Privacy Policy. If we do, we will post an amended version on this webpage with a new “last updated” date. If we make material changes, we will provide you with additional notice, such as adding a statement on the homepages of our Site or sending you a notification. Please review this Privacy Policy periodically.
The California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 (“CCPA”), requires that we provide California residents with a privacy policy that contains a comprehensive description of our online and offline practices regarding the collection, use, disclosure, sale, sharing, and retention of personal information and of the rights of California residents regarding their personal information. This section of the Privacy Policy is intended solely for, and is applicable only as to, California residents. If you are not a California resident, this section does not apply to you and you should not rely on it.
The CCPA defines “personal information” to mean information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular California resident or household. Personal information does not include publicly available, deidentified or aggregated information or lawfully obtained, truthful information that is a matter of public concern. For purposes of this “Notice to California Residents” section we will refer to this information as “Personal Information.”
