In addition, Forterra Inc gathers certain navigational information about where you go on our Web site. This information enables us to determine which areas of the Web site are most frequently visited and helps us to tailor the site to the needs and interests of our online visitors.

This information may be used to provide you with information you've requested about our company, our products and our services, or to provide you with special notices. When we request information on our site, some requests are marked as "Required"; this information is necessary to allow you to participate in the program or service you've requested. You may opt out of receiving future communications at any time (see “Removal of or Changes to Information” below). This data may also be used to tailor your experience on our site by providing content that is relevant to your interests and geographic region.

Any such information will be maintained by Forterra in accordance with the standards set forth in this privacy policy along with other personal information you've provided.
Your personal information will not be used by us and we will not authorize any third party to use your personal information other than in accordance with the terms of this privacy policy.

We maintain security measures in place in order to attempt to protect against the loss, misuse and alteration of the personal information under our control. We take reasonable precautions to attempt to ensure that data stored in our system is secure.
