Effective Date: June 19, 2026  |  Last Updated: June 19, 2026  |  Applies to: version3.compassmediagroup.com (the “Portal”)

This Privacy Policy is issued by Gordon J Gow Technologies, Inc., doing business as Tributaries Cable and Clarus Cable (“GJG,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). It describes how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard personal information when you access or use our authorized dealer and sales representative portal.

By registering for or using the Portal, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with its terms, please do not use the Portal.

1. Information We Collect

1.1 Account Registration

When you register for a dealer or sales representative account we collect:

  • Full name and job title
  • Company name and billing / shipping address
  • Business email address
  • Mobile phone number (used for account security, two-factor authentication, and order notifications)
  • Username and hashed password

1.2 Order & Transaction Data

When you place orders through the Portal we collect product selections, quantities, shipping instructions, and payment authorization information. Credit card numbers are never stored on our servers — payment tokenization is handled entirely by Authorize.net in compliance with PCI DSS.

1.3 Automatically Collected Information

We use analytics tools (including Google Analytics) that automatically collect:

  • IP address and approximate geographic location
  • Browser type, operating system, and device identifiers
  • Pages visited, links clicked, and session duration
  • Referring site and search keywords

2. SMS / Text Messaging

Important — SMS Consent: We will only send you SMS text messages if you have provided your mobile number and affirmatively opted in during account registration or in your Account Settings. Your consent to receive SMS messages is never required as a condition of purchasing any product or service.

2.1 Types of Messages We Send

If you opt in, Gordon J Gow Technologies may send the following types of SMS messages to the mobile number you provide:

  • One-Time Passcodes (OTP / 2FA): Verification codes for login security, password reset, and username recovery.
  • Account Security Alerts: Notifications about changes to your account (e.g., password changed, new device login).
  • Order Notifications: Alerts to authorized sales representatives when a dealer account places an order through the Portal.

2.2 How to Opt In

You opt in to SMS messaging by providing your mobile phone number and checking the SMS consent checkbox on the account registration form or the Account Settings page of the Portal. The checkbox is unchecked by default — you must actively check it to consent.

2.3 How to Opt Out (STOP)

You may opt out of SMS messages at any time by replying STOP to any message you receive from us. You may also remove your mobile number or disable SMS in your Account Settings. After opting out you will receive one final confirmation message and no further SMS messages will be sent unless you opt in again.

2.4 Help

Reply HELP to any SMS message for assistance, or contact us at the address below. Standard message and data rates may apply. Message frequency varies based on account activity.

2.5 No Sharing of Phone Numbers

We will not share, sell, rent, or disclose your mobile phone number to any third party for their marketing or promotional purposes. Phone numbers are used solely to deliver the message types described in Section 2.1 above.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Create and manage your Portal account
  • Process and fulfill product orders
  • Send transactional SMS messages you have opted into (see Section 2)
  • Respond to your inquiries and provide customer support
  • Send order and account notifications via email if you have consented
  • Monitor and improve Portal performance and security
  • Comply with applicable laws and regulations

4. Information Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We may share information only in the following limited circumstances:

  • Service Providers: We engage trusted third-party vendors (hosting, payment processing via Authorize.net, SMS delivery via Twilio, shipping via FedEx) solely to operate the Portal. These providers are contractually prohibited from using your data for any purpose other than providing services to us.
  • Legal Requirements: We may disclose information when required by law, court order, or governmental authority.
  • Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of substantially all assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you via email and/or prominent Portal notice before your information is subject to a different privacy policy.

5. Cookies and Analytics

The Portal uses cookies and similar technologies to provide core functionality (session management, login state) and to analyze usage patterns via Google Analytics. You may configure your browser to refuse cookies, but doing so may prevent some Portal features from functioning correctly.

6. Data Security

We implement industry-standard safeguards including encrypted HTTPS connections, bcrypt password hashing, and access controls to protect your personal information. Credit card data is handled exclusively by Authorize.net and is never transmitted to or stored on our servers. No method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure; while we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Data Retention

We retain your account information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide services. One-time verification codes (OTP) expire within 10 minutes and are purged from our database automatically. You may request deletion of your account and associated personal data by contacting us at the address in Section 11; we will process requests within 30 days subject to any legal retention obligations.

8. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

  • Access the personal information we hold about you
  • Request correction of inaccurate information
  • Request deletion of your personal information
  • Opt out of SMS or email communications at any time
  • Lodge a complaint with a data protection authority

To exercise these rights, contact us using the information in Section 11.

The Portal may contain links to third-party websites. These sites are independent of Gordon J Gow Technologies and have their own privacy policies. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of any third-party websites.

10. Children’s Privacy

The Portal is intended for use by authorized business accounts only and is not directed to individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such information, please contact us immediately.
