Web Beacons. A web beacon, sometimes called a tracking pixel, is a programming code that can be used to display an image on a web page, but can also be used to transfer your unique user identification to a database and associate you with previously acquired information about an individual in a database. This allows SafeAlarm and our third-party service providers to track certain websites you visit.

If you previously provided personally identifiable information to us, a unique identifier in the cookie may tie the information collected via the cookie to such information. Do Not Track (“DNT”) is a privacy preference that users can set to have their Internet browser automatically send a signal to our online and mobile resources to request we not track browsing activity across different sites. There is, however, currently no universal standard for sending and receiving DNT signals. As such, we cannot promise that we respond to all DNT signals, but do recognize and respond when required by applicable privacy laws, such as when HTTP header fields or Java objects are used.
