Cookies are small text files stored on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other device when you visit a website.
Cookies and similar technologies help websites function properly and may also be used to remember preferences, understand Website activity, measure performance, and support marketing and advertising activities.
We may use both first-party cookies, which are set by ProFab Alliance, and third-party cookies, which are set by service providers or other third parties.
These cookies are necessary for our Website to operate properly. They may support functions such as Website security, network management, form functionality, privacy preferences, and other essential Website features.
Because these cookies are required for basic Website functionality, they generally cannot be disabled through our cookie preference tools.
Functional cookies allow our Website to remember choices or preferences and provide enhanced functionality.
If you decline these cookies, certain Website features may not function as intended.
We may use analytics technologies to understand how visitors use our Website, including which pages are visited, how visitors arrive at our Website, and how visitors interact with our content.
Information obtained through these technologies may be used to measure Website performance and improve our content and user experience.
Where required by applicable law, analytics cookies will be activated only in accordance with your cookie consent choices.
We or our marketing and advertising service providers may use cookies, pixels, tags, or similar technologies to understand interactions with our marketing campaigns, measure advertising effectiveness, create audiences, and, where applicable, deliver or measure advertising.
These technologies may recognize your browser or device across different websites or services.
Where required by applicable law, advertising and other non-essential tracking technologies will not be activated until the appropriate consent has been provided.
When applicable, our Website provides a cookie consent tool that allows you to accept, reject, or manage categories of non-essential cookies.
You may change your preferences through the cookie preference controls available on our Website.
You may also configure your browser to block, delete, or notify you about cookies. Blocking certain cookies may affect Website functionality.
Your cookie choices are generally specific to the browser and device you use. If you clear your cookies, use another browser, or use another device, you may need to select your preferences again.
Where required by applicable law and supported by our Website technologies, we may recognize legally valid browser-based privacy preference signals, such as Global Privacy Control (“GPC”).
Some browsers also offer “Do Not Track” signals. Because there is not currently a universally accepted standard governing all Do Not Track signals, our Website may not respond to traditional Do Not Track signals.
We may use third-party analytics services to understand Website usage and performance.
These services may collect information such as:
Pages visited
Time spent on the Website
Referring websites
General geographic information
Browser and device information
Website interactions
Other usage information
This information helps us evaluate Website performance, improve our content, and better understand our audience.
Where required by law, non-essential analytics technologies will be subject to your cookie consent preferences.
Our Website may contain links to or embedded content from third-party websites or services, including videos, images, maps, social media content, event platforms, or other external resources.
Embedded content may behave as though you visited the third-party website directly. Those third parties may collect information, use cookies, or monitor your interaction with their content according to their own privacy practices.
ProFab Alliance is not responsible for the privacy practices, security, or content of third-party websites.
If you subscribe to ProFab Alliance communications or otherwise request information from us, we may communicate with you by email as permitted by applicable law.
You may unsubscribe from promotional email communications at any time by following the unsubscribe instructions included in the communication.
We will honor applicable email marketing opt-out requirements.
Even after you unsubscribe from promotional communications, we may continue sending non-promotional communications when necessary, such as messages concerning an existing membership, event registration, request, business relationship, security matter, or other service-related purpose.
ProFab Alliance may offer text message (“SMS”) communications to individuals who choose to receive them.

Consent to receive marketing text messages is not a condition of purchasing goods or services, becoming a member, or participating in a ProFab Alliance program.

Message and data rates may apply. Your wireless carrier’s standard messaging and data rates are your responsibility.
You may opt out of SMS communications at any time by replying STOP to a message.
We may send a final confirmation message acknowledging your opt-out. After your request has been processed, you will no longer receive messages from that SMS program unless you subsequently provide consent to receive them again.

We do not sell or share mobile telephone numbers, SMS opt-in data, or SMS consent information with third parties for their own marketing or promotional purposes.
We may disclose information to service providers that assist us in delivering text messages or operating our communications systems, but only as necessary to provide those services on our behalf or as otherwise permitted by law.

As an organization focused on connecting and supporting businesses and industry professionals, ProFab Alliance may receive and maintain professional contact information relating to individuals at member companies, prospective member companies, partners, vendors, sponsors, and other organizations.
We may use this information for legitimate organizational purposes, including managing relationships, facilitating programs and events, communicating about ProFab Alliance activities, and supporting our members and partners.

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.
