We respect the privacy of everyone who visits the Sites. Our Privacy Policy is an extension of our commitment to combine the highest-quality service with the highest level of integrity in dealing with our visitors and customers.

  • Name;
  • Email address;
  • Address;
  • Telephone number;
  • Payment information; and
  • Email messages to us.

When you visit the Site, we collect data from the device or browser through which you access the Site (“Log Data”), such as:

  • Data collected through cookies or other similar technologies are discussed in more detail in our Cookie policy.

Much of this Log Data does not identify you personally. However, we may associate this Log Data with your Personal Data. When we do, we will treat any such combined data as Personal Data until such time as it can no longer be associated with you or used to identify you.

3. How Do We Use Your Personal Data?

We use Personal Data for the purposes for which you provided it. If you engage us for services, we will use your name and contact information to fulfill your needs, including billing and delivery, if applicable. If you send us an email, we may provide your email address and other information you submit to customer service.

We may also use your Personal Data or Log Data to administer our internal business activities, such as to design and arrange the Site in the most user-friendly manner and to continually improve the Site to better meet the needs of our customers and prospective customers, to better understand visitors to the Site, to manage your account, to provide customer service, or to make available other products and services to our customers and prospective customers.

We may also use third-party services, such as Google Analytics, that collect, monitor, and analyze Log Data.

4. How Do You Share My Personal Data?

A. No Sale of Personal Data

We do not sell Personal Data. We consider this information to be a vital part of our relationship with you. Therefore, we will not sell your Personal Data to third parties, including third-party advertisers. There are, however, certain circumstances in which we may disclose, transfer, or share your Personal Data with certain third parties without further notice to you, as set forth below.

B. Sharing Personal Data With Affiliates, Successors, and Agents

We sometimes engage other companies to perform certain business-related functions. These companies may include marketing agencies, database service providers, backup and disaster recovery service providers, email service providers, payment processors, and others. When we engage another company to perform such functions, we may provide it with Personal Data, Log Data, or aggregate information about our customers, sales, website traffic patterns, and related website information in connection with its performance of such functions. We take reasonable steps to select service providers that are responsible and afford privacy protections to their customers. However, we cannot make any representations about the practices and policies of these third-party companies.

C. Sharing Data Through Social Media

We may work with social media sites like Facebook and LinkedIn, so you can connect to us, share your interests, express opinions about products and services, and generate interest in our services among members of your social networks.

If you use third-party social media features, we or the third party may collect or share your data, including your Personal Data. We consider information collected from or shared through social media features as public information because the third-party social media sites made it publicly available. If you do not want Safetec to be able to access information about you, including Personal Data, from third-party sites, you must limit data collection and disclosure in the privacy settings on the third-party sites. We reserve the right to remove the Personal Data or other data of any person for any reason we, in our sole discretion, deem appropriate.

D. Legally-Compelled Disclosure of Personal Data

We may disclose your Personal Data if required to do so by law or in our good-faith belief that such action is necessary to:

  • comply with a legal obligation;
  • protect or defend our rights, interests, or property, or that of third parties;
  • prevent or investigate possible wrongdoing in connection with the Site;
  • act in urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of the Site or the public; or
  • protect against legal liability.

5. Is My Personal Data Secure?

Committing to the protection of your information is our goal. Personal Data may be stored by third parties to whom we have transferred it in accordance with this Privacy Policy. We take what we believe to be reasonable steps to protect the Personal Data collected via the Site from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, inadvertent disclosure, alteration, and destruction. However, no network, server, database, or internet or email transmission, is ever fully secure or error free. Therefore, you should take special care in deciding what information you send to us electronically. Please keep this in mind when disclosing any Personal Data.

6. How Long Will You Keep My Personal Data?

We may retain your Personal Data as long as you continue to use the Site. However, we may retain Personal Data for an additional period as is permitted or required under applicable laws. Even if we delete your Personal Data, it may persist on backup or archival media for an additional period of time.
