How We Use Data Collection Tools
When you visit our website, we employ site visit recording technologies, including third-party cookies, beacons, tags, and scripts, to collect various categories of information and aggregated data from your internet browser, such as your interactions on our website.
Cookies:
Consolifi may place electronic “cookies” in your computer or mobile device’s browser files when you access Our Services. Cookies are small text pieces sent by a website you visit. They can be either “persistent” or “session” cookies. Persistent cookies remain on your device until you delete them or they expire, while session cookies are temporary and expire when you close your browser. Our Services use both types of cookies. Persistent cookies help us track and tailor our services to user interests, while session cookies facilitate easier navigation.
We use cookies to improve the functionality of Our Services and to track information about how the website is used in order to continually improve it and tailor it to user preferences. In particular, we may use the information we obtain from your use of our cookies to: (i) recognize your computer when you visit the website; (ii) track you as you navigate Our Services; (iii) improve the usability of Our Services; (iv) analyze the use of Our Services; and (vi) to personalize the website for the visitor, including targeting advertisements.
Web beacons and other technologies.
Apart from cookies, we may also employ additional tools to collect non-personally identifiable information about your usage of Our Services. This includes the use of “web beacons,” which are also known as Internet tags, pixel tags, or clear GIFs, as well as the analysis of “click stream” data.
Web beacons establish links between web pages and web servers and can transmit information collected through cookies back to a web server. “Click stream” data, on the other hand, represents the digital trail left behind as you browse the Internet and interact with our websites. We utilize web beacons and click stream data to compile information about visits to Our Services. This data may encompass details about your device, such as your IP address, but does not identify you by name.
Your Choices
Most web browsers are configured to automatically accept cookies. However, you can usually customize your cookie settings to either prevent or selectively accept cookies by adjusting the preferences in your browser’s “Help” section. You also have the option to delete cookies that have already been stored on your device.
It’s important to note that if you choose not to accept cookies, some features of Our Services may become unavailable or may not display correctly. This could result in a less seamless or personalized browsing experience. Additionally, blocking cookies will also prevent web beacons from tracking your activity and may limit our ability to collect certain information, such as your IP address. Nevertheless, we will still record your visit to our website.
For more general information about cookies and detailed guidance on how to disable or enable them, please refer to http://www.allaboutcookies.org.
Site Recordation Technology.
We employ site visit recordation technology to document site visits, utilizing technology provided by third-party entities, specifically Jornaya’s Lead ID and Active Prospect’s TrustedForm, as applicable. We rely on LeadID and/or TrustedForm to independently record users’ consent to be contacted.
The LeadID and/or TrustedForm Script is integrated into our website and captures the following information when users interact with pages where the script is active:
- Page URL
- Mouse movements and clicks
- Contact information provided by the user
- A snapshot of the page, including the user’s computer IP address
- Time spent on the page
- Date and time when the LeadID and/or TrustedForm Script was loaded

However, it’s important to note that certain information may be tracked in the process, including but not limited to the date of communication with Americor, the most recent date of contact, and other messages, comments, and conversations exchanged via the chat messages. The chat system collects information that you voluntarily input into the chat box when initiating a query or responding to prompts from the chat system.

Third Party Advertising Networks.
We engage third-party entities, such as network advertisers, to display advertisements on external websites or various media platforms, including social networking sites.

Third-party ad network providers, advertisers, sponsors, and traffic measurement services may employ technologies like cookies, JavaScript, web beacons (including clear GIFs), Flash cookies, and other tracking methods to gauge the effectiveness of their advertisements and tailor advertising content to your preferences. It’s important to note that these third-party cookies and related technologies are subject to the specific privacy policies of each respective third party, rather than our own Privacy Policy. We may also share information about you with these third-party advertisers.
For more information about interest-based advertisements and to explore your options for opting out, please visit the Digital Advertising Alliance at www.aboutads.info and the Network Advertising Initiative at www.networkadvertising.org. It’s worth noting that if you choose to opt out, you will still encounter advertisements on our website, but they will not be customized based on your browsing and shopping behaviors.
How We Respond to Do Not Track Signals
How we handle Internet browser Do Not Track (“DNT”) signals or similar mechanisms that empower users to control the gathering of personally identifiable information concerning an individual’s online activities across various third-party websites or online platforms is as follows:
We presently do not act upon web browser “Do Not Track” signals because we do not engage in tracking individual users across the internet.
As for the possibility of third parties collecting personally identifiable information about an individual’s online activities across different websites while using Consolifi Services, the answer is no.
For further details regarding Do Not Track, please refer to www.allaboutdnt.com.

You may only make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period.
The verifiable consumer request must provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative, which may include: providing your email and phone verification, known customer information, and/or other information needed to verify your identity depending on the sensitivity of the Personal Information in question.

Why should you protect PII?
Failure to safeguard your personal information can carry significant and immediate consequences for your life. The compromise of Personally Identifiable Information (PII) can result in substantial harm, embarrassment, and disruptions to your daily affairs. It may also pave the way for identity theft or other forms of fraudulent exploitation of your personal data.
What can you do to ensure the PII is protected during transmission/delivery?
- Email: Use the Encrypted option from your email software (i.e., Gmail, Outlook) as an add-on to
securely send email to both internal and external recipients if the file contains PII-related data. - Email Files: In the event you must attach a file/document, containing your PII, you should zip the
files and incorporate password protection. Send two emails to the recipient: one with the
password protected and zipped file attached; the other with the password to be used to access
the file. Do not send both items in a single email. - Finally, you should ask the recipient to contact you to confirm they have received the PII file and
have been able to successfully access it. You should then delete both emails from your “Sent
Items” folder.
How do I protect my email and text messages from hackers?
If you come across an email or text message that appears suspicious, refrain from responding, clicking on any provided links, or opening attached files. Avoid logging into your account through a link contained in a suspicious message.
What is Phishing?
Phishing refers to the deceitful effort to acquire sensitive information, including usernames, passwords, and account particulars. This scheme commonly takes the form of emails, text messages, or even phone calls. These deceptive messages often masquerade as legitimate entities such as companies, charities, or government agencies. They frequently employ urgent appeals to persuade you to visit counterfeit websites, open email attachments containing malicious software, or share personal or account data. The data you divulge may be exploited for identity theft or unauthorized access to your account, resulting in financial losses.
Can I download PII to a portable device?
To minimize the risk of theft, refrain from transferring Personally Identifiable Information (PII) onto portable devices like flash drives or external hard drives.
How can I best protect electronic information?
When you step away from your computer, remember to lock it to enhance security. Additionally, never share your passwords with others.
What is defined as a breach of PII?
A “breach” is characterized by the loss of control, compromise, unauthorized acquisition, unauthorized access, or any comparable situation wherein individuals, not authorized users and for reasons other than authorized purposes, gain access or the potential to access personally identifiable information, whether it’s in physical or electronic form.
