1.2. Google Analytics
Like most websites, this site uses Google Analytics (GA) to track user interaction. We use this data to determine the number of people using our site, to better understand how they find and use our web pages and to see their journey through the website.
Although GA records data such as your geographical location, device, internet browser and operating system, none of this information personally identifies you to us. GA also records your computer’s IP address which could be used to personally identify you but Google do not grant us access to this. We consider Google to be a third party data processor (see section 2 below).
GA makes use of cookies, details of which can be found on Google's developer guides. FYI our website uses the analytics.js implementation of GA.
Disabling cookies on your internet browser will stop GA from tracking any part of your visit to pages within this website.

1.3. Google Tag Manager
We are constantly trying to improve the customer experience on our website by providing visitors with more personalized and targeted campaigns and offerings. To do so, we use Google Tag Manager (GTM).
GTM is a little snippet of code that helps us track user behavior across our sites and then pushes the data to our Google Analytics account. Then, all the data is perfectly organized and ready for us to assess and review for potential site improvements and remarketing campaigns.
We consider Google to be a third party data processor (see section 2 below).

1.4. Contact and download forms
Should you choose to use the contact form, download gated content or sign up for events, then your information will be stored in our Dynamicweb backend and collated into an email and sent to us over the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP).
The information contained in the email will automatically be transfered onwards to our Dynamics 365 Business Central system. From there, the data will be attached to any existing account with a similar email or else be created as a new contact.
All data obtained from any website form will be subject to minimum one yearly review where inactive data – or data belonging to inactive contacts may be deleted from our Dynamicweb backend database.
1.5. Email newsletter
If you choose to join our email newsletter, the email address that you submit to us will be forwarded to MailChimp who provide us with email marketing services. We consider MailChimp to be a third party data processor. In addition to MailChimp, your email will also be stored in our Dynamicweb backend database and in our Dynamics 365 Business Central system.
You can always opt-out by using the unsubscribe link contained in any email newsletters that we send you or by requesting removal via email. When requesting removal via email, please send your email to us using the email account that is subscribed to the mailing list.
Your email address and email click history will remain within our own - and in MailChimp's database for as long as we continue to use MailChimp’s services for email marketing.
While your email address remains within our own - and in the MailChimp database, you will receive periodic (approximately three times a month) newsletter-style emails from us. Our newsletters will keep you posted on Directions North America's latest announcements and upcoming events.
If you want your personal data 'erased' from our databases, then download and fill out the data removal form step-by-step and send it to us by mail.
We will respond without undue delay (and in any event within one month from receiving your request, although this can be extended in difficult cases).
Be aware that all the email logs in MailChimp are kept in their database for 30 days before being fully deleted.
