1. Types of Personal Information We Collect and When

Server log information.

Our Website captures certain information automatically. This information may include your Internet protocol (IP) address, browser type and computer operating system, time and date you visit, the pages you access, and the address of the page that directed you to our Website. We use this data to understand patterns of Website activity and to improve the Website so it is more useful for you. This information is not linked in any way to your personal information.

Cookies.

Our Website uses cookies, which record small amounts of data in your web browser. These serve various purposes, including making our site work properly and optimizing your experience. The cookies we use – and how to control them – are listed in our Cookies Policy.

Personal information that you submit.

We do not collect personal information from you unless you supply it voluntarily such as when you communicate with us by email, register on the Website, download a document, and register for a newsletter or an event. The types of personally identifiable information that may be requested include your name, mailing address, email address, or telephone number or other information relevant to a request for information.

Aggregated or anonymized information.

In some instances, we receive information that either combines the information of numerous consumers or is transformed in such a way that the information can no longer be linked to a particular consumer or their household.

Social media.

We may receive information from third parties such as advertising and marketing partners, public databases, and social media platforms, to supplement the information we receive from our consumers. If we do so, this policy governs how we can use that information.

2. Purposes for Which We Collect Information

We request personal information when necessary to provide a service or to complete a transaction or otherwise run our business. Examples include subscribing to electronic newsletters, registering for an event, requesting product information, a quote, or technical advice, registering on the Website, downloading documents, responding to your questions or comments or completing online surveys or questionnaires.

3. How Do We Protect Personal Information?

Although we cannot guarantee impenetrability of our servers, we have established physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards for the information we collect on this Website that are reasonable given the nature of the information and its sensitivity.

4. What Do We Do With the Personal Information We Collect?

When you submit product reviews or other content that will be posted on the Website please remember it becomes public information, and you should exercise caution when deciding to disclose your personal information.

We will not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to third parties your personally identifiable information unless we provide you with advance notice, except that we may share this data with our parent company, subsidiaries, affiliates, and vendors we retain to provide services necessary to our operations. Such third parties could include website hosting companies, public relations companies, advertising and marketing agencies, and mail delivery service companies. These parties are under obligations to use the information only in support of our business, not their own.

We also reserve the right to release personal information (i) when we are under legal compulsion to do so (e.g., we have received a subpoena) or we otherwise believe that the law requires us to do so; (ii) when we believe it is necessary to protect and/or enforce the rights, property interests, or safety of CHEM-TREND, our users or others; or (iii) as we deem necessary to resolve disputes, troubleshoot problems, prevent fraud, and otherwise enforce the Privacy Statement and any applicable Terms of Use for our Website.

Additionally, in the event that CHEM-TREND is merged with or becomes part of another organization, or in the event that CHEM-TREND is sold or it sells all or substantially all of its assets or is otherwise reorganized, the information you provide will be one of the transferred assets to the acquiring or reorganized entity. We may also transfer personal information to third parties where we are expressly authorized by applicable law to do so.

6.
