Your privacy is important to us
Privacy Statement
Introduction. This site is owned and operated by Ecologel Solutions, LLC. Your privacy is important to us. Ecologel has therefore developed this Privacy Statement (this “Statement”) along with its Data Privacy Policy to inform you how Ecologel (“Ecologel”, “we”, “our”) collects, stores, uses and processes the personal data and information you provide us through this Web site (“Site”).
Effective Date: November 12th, 2018
Scope of this Statement. This Statement covers the “personal data and information” we collect through this Site. “Personal data and information” is data that identifies you personally, either alone or in combination with other information available to us. Examples of personal information include your name, address, email address, tax identification number and the information you provide when you use our Site to create an account or a personal profile.
Your Consent. By using this Site you are accepting the practices described in this Statement. If you do not agree to this Statement please do not use this Site. We reserve the right to make changes to this Statement at any time. Any changes will be posted in this Statement and material changes will generally apply only to activities and information collected on a going forward basis. We encourage you to regularly review this Statement to make sure you are aware of any changes and how your information may be used.
What Personal Data and Information Do We Collect Through Our Site?
Personally Identifiable Information refers to information that lets us know the specifics of who you are. Personal information is requested when you order a service, register for an account and send us feedback. For example, this information might include your name, address (both billing and registered), email address, industry and product details, and credit card or other payment information. Such information may be held on our contacts and administration databases either because of the work we have done with you or are currently engaged in, or because we believe you might be interested in receiving material from us about our business and services. This allows us to manage our relationship with you efficiently, improve our Site and the services we offer to you and to target items of interest we may send to you.
Non-Personally Identifiable Information refers to information that is statistical in nature only and that does not, by itself, identify a specific individual or entity, and which depends upon the visiting you do on the Site. For example, this information may include the domain from which you access the Internet, the date and time you access the Site, and the Internet address of the website from which you linked directly to the Site. This information is used in an aggregate form to make the Site more useful and attractive to its users.
Cookies and Similar Technologies. We use “cookies” and other Web technologies to collect information and support certain features of our sites. For example, we may use these technologies to
- collect information about the ways visitors use our sites – which pages they visit, which links they use, and how long they stay on each page;
- to manage and determine the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns;
- to support the features and functionality of our sites – for example, to save you the trouble of reentering information already in our database or to prompt the settings you established on previous visits to our sites; and
- to personalize your experience when you use our sites.
Generally, the information we collect using these Web technologies does not identify you personally. If, however, you have created a user identity, for example, by signing up to use a password-protected area on one of our sites, we may link the information we collect using Web technologies to other information that identifies you personally.
If you do not wish to receive cookies, you may set your browser to reject cookies or to alert you when a cookie is placed on your computer. You may also delete our cookies as soon as you leave a site.

How Does Ecologel Share My Personal Information?
Service Providers. We share personal information with companies and organizations that perform services on our behalf, for example, companies that provide support services to us (such as credit card processing services, data storage services, and web hosting services) or that help us market our products and services (such as third-party e-mail marketing companies). These third parties are required by contract to use the personal information we share with them only to perform services on our behalf and to take commercially reasonable measures to protect the confidentiality and security of your personal information.

Under some limited circumstances, we may share our mailing lists or other personal information collected through our sites with companies that are not our service providers and are not members of the Ecologel family of businesses. For example, we may share your contact or demographic information with business partners who offer special discounts to qualified Ecologel customers. Before we share your personal information with our business partners, we will offer you the opportunity to choose whether to have your information shared and used in this way. If you do not want us to share your personal information with our business partners, you may “opt-out” at any time by sending an email to our office.

If you do not want us to share your personal information with another member of the Ecologel family of businesses or with other affiliates of Ecologel, you may “opt-out” at any time by sending an email to our office.
Business Transfers. Your personal information may be transferred to a company that has acquired the stock or assets of Ecologel Solutions, LLC., one of its affiliates, or one of our businesses, for example, as the result of a sale, merger, reorganization or liquidation. If such a transfer occurs, the acquiring company’s use of your personal information will still be subject to this policy and the privacy preferences you have expressed to us.
Compliance With Laws and Protection of Our Rights and the Rights of Others. We may disclose personal information when we, in good faith, believe disclosure is appropriate to comply with the law, a court order or a subpoena. We may also disclose personal information to prevent or investigate a possible crime, such as fraud or identity theft; to enforce or apply our online terms of use or other agreements; or to protect our own rights or property or the rights, property or safety of our users or others.
Aggregate Information. We may share aggregated demographic or survey information with third parties, but this information is in anonymous form and does not contain any personal data or information. The aggregate information that we share may include anonymous information that is captured through the use of cookies and other similar tracking technology, as explained in the section entitled “Cookies and Similar Technologies.”
