This Privacy Policy sets forth the policies of Longworth Industries, Inc. (“Longworth”) regarding the collection, use and protection of the personal information of those using the Longworth website. Personal information means information that can be linked to a specific individual, such as name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, and credit card number.
We encourage you to review our Privacy Policy, and become familiar with it, but you should know that we do not sell or rent our customers' personal information to third parties.
Please note that we review our Privacy Policy from time to time, and we may make periodic changes to the policy in connection with that review.
- Personal information usage
When browsing our site, you are not required to provide any personal information unless and until you choose to sign up for one of our e-mail services. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children (meaning those younger than thirteen years of age).
- Logging of Session Data
We may log generic information about your computer’s connection to the Internet, which we call “session data.” Session data consists of things such as IP address, operating system and type of browser software being used and the activities conducted by the user while on our site. An IP address is a number that lets computers attached to the Internet, such as our web servers, know where to send data back to the user, such as the pages of the site the user wishes to view. We collect session data because it helps us analyze such things as what items visitors are likely to click on most, the way visitors are clicking through the site, how many visitors are surfing to various pages on the site, how long visitors to the site are staying and how often they are visiting. It also helps us diagnose problems with our servers and lets us better administer our systems. It is possible to determine from an IP address a visitor’s Internet Service Provider (ISP) and the approximate geographic location of his or her point of connectivity. We may also use some session data, such as the pages you visited on our site, to send you e-mail messages focused on destinations that you may be interested in, unless you had previously opted out of receiving such messages.
- Cookies
“Cookies” are small pieces of information that are stored by your browser on your computer’s hard drive.

- What other information should I know about my privacy?
The Longworth website may contain links to other web sites. Please note that when you click on one of these links, you are entering another web site for which Longworth has no responsibility. We encourage you to read the privacy statements of all such sites as their policies may be materially different from this Privacy Policy. Of course, you are solely responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your passwords. Please be very careful, responsible, and alert with this information, especially whenever you’re online.
In addition to the circumstances described above, Longworth may disclose personal information if required to do so by law, court order, as requested by other government or law enforcement authority, or in the good faith belief that disclosure is otherwise necessary or advisable including, without limitation, to protect the rights or properties of Longworth or its affiliated companies or when we have reason to believe that disclosing the information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be causing interference with our rights or properties, whether intentionally or otherwise, or when anyone else could be harmed by such activities. In addition, if Longworth or substantially all of its assets are acquired, our customer information will most likely also be transferred in connection with such acquisition.
This Privacy Policy is effective as of November 1, 2009. We may change or supplement this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any material changes in the way that Longworth uses personal information will be described in future versions of this Privacy Policy. Privacy Policy changes will apply to the information collected from the date we post the revised Privacy Policy, as well as to existing information held by us. If we decide to change this Privacy Policy in a material way, we will obtain the necessary consents required under applicable privacy laws if we seek to collect, use or disclose personal information for purposes other than those for which consent has been obtained, unless otherwise required or permitted by law. If any proposed change is unacceptable to you, you may request that we remove your personal information from our records by sending us a notice at customerservice@proxgo.com. Of course, you may always submit concerns regarding our Privacy Policy or our privacy practices via email by clicking here. Please reference the privacy policy in your subject line.
