CHILDREN

Children’s privacy is of primary concern to us; therefore our policy and practices reflect applicable laws and regulations on children’s privacy. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 years of age. Any communication we get that is identified as being from a child under 13 will not be kept by Symbion Design.

USE OF COOKIES

The Symbion Design website uses “cookies” to help personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.

One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize Symbion Design pages, or register with Symbion Design site or services, a cookie helps Symbion Design to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses and so on. When you return to the same Symbion Design website, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the Symbion Design features that you customized.

You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the Symbion Design services or web sites you visit.

Third Party Disclosure

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties your personally identifiable information unless we provide you with advance notice. This does not include website hosting partners and other parties who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or servicing you, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential. We may also release your information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce our site policies, or protect ours or others’ rights, property, or safety.

However, non-personally identifiable visitor information may be provided to other parties for marketing, advertising, or other uses.

Third Party Links

We Use Google Ads on Our Website

Google, as a third party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on our site.

Users may opt out of the use of the DART cookie by visiting the Google ad and content network privacy policy.

We have implemented the following:

CONTACT INFORMATION

Symbion Design welcomes your comments regarding this Statement of Privacy. If you believe that Symbion Design has not adhered to this statement, please contact the firm. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly determine and remedy the problem.

ACCESSIBILITY POLICY

We strive to make our website as accessible and usable as possible. We do this by following Section 508 and the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.0) produced by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C, the web’s governing body).

Section 508 is a legal requirement and WCAG is a set of checkpoints and guidelines that help ensure that websites are designed and written properly. For example:

• Images have alternative text (so if you can’t see the image you can still read the text).
• Color contrast between the foreground and background is sufficiently strong.
• Text resizes according to user preference.
• Headings are correctly used (they’re not just ordinary text made to look big and bold).
• Links make sense by themselves (e.g. no links that just say “Click here” or “More…”).
• Tables are used for laying out tabular information and have proper headings and summaries.

Feedback

If you have a problem using our site, please contact us 1-970-948-6977 and provide the URL (web address) of the material you tried to access, the problem you experienced, and your contact information. We’ll attempt to provide the information you’re seeking.

Additional Help

If you have any type of disability, we recommend that you visit the FCC Accessibility Clearinghouse and the Access Board website. You’ll find expert advice such as alternative screen readers, screen magnifiers and other devices that can make using a computer easier and more enjoyable.

We also recommend that you visit AbilityNet’s My Computer My Way, which provides advice on making your computer accessible.
