(“LiquiTech,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) Liquitech.com and online services, including our member portal, online tools and resources, and the Content, as defined in our Terms of Use, (collectively, the “Technology”). This Privacy Policy governs the Technology operated by us, and explains how we may collect your personal information and the personal information of your authorized end users (each, “User” or “you”) on or through the Technology, how we protect such information, and the choices you have concerning the use of such information. Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. By accessing and using the Technology, you agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy.

You should review this Privacy Policy frequently, as we may change it from time to time without prior notice to you. ANY CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY WILL APPLY IMMEDIATELY UPON POSTING TO THE TECHNOLOGY. BY USING OR OTHERWISE ACCESSING THE TECHNOLOGY, OR VIEWING OR DOWNLOADING CONTENT OR ANY OTHER INFORMATION TO OR FROM THE TECHNOLOGY, YOU ARE CONSENTING TO THE TERMS OF THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY, OR TO ANY CHANGES WE MAY SUBSEQUENTLY MAKE, IMMEDIATELY STOP ACCESSING OUR TECHNOLOGY.

Please remember that this Privacy Policy applies only to information collected on or through our Technology. We are not responsible for the privacy of information you reveal or post in a public forum (e.g., message board, blog, chat room or social media site) or in connection with your activity on any third-party website.

What information is collected by the Technology?

Our Technology has the ability to collect four types of information from and about you: personally identifiable information and non-personally identifiable information.

Personally identifiable information

Personally identifiable information is information that identifies you or can be used to identify or contact you (“Personally Identifiable Information”). Personally Identifiable Information may include, for example, your name, address, email address, telephone number, birth date, billing and credit card information, and bank account information. Certain information may not be personally identifiable when standing alone (e.g., your age), but may become so when combined with other information (e.g., your age and name). We may request Personally Identifiable Information from you when you register, subscribe or create an account in connection with some aspect of our Technology, when you order any products or services offered through the Technology (“Services”), whether or not for LiquiTech charges you a fee for these transactions. In all cases, we will collect Personally Identifiable Information from you only if you voluntarily submit such information to us.

You do not have to provide us with any Personally Identifiable Information to visit our Technology. However, if you choose to withhold requested information, you may not be able to access all sections of our Website or Content posted on the Technology, order or use products or services, or receive deals, promotions or other offerings through the Technology.

Non-personally identifiable information

When you access or use one or more aspects of our Technology, we also may collect information that, by itself, cannot be used to personally identify or contact you (“Non-Personally Identifiable Information”). For example, Non-Personally Identifiable Information may include demographic information (such as age, profession or gender), location information (such as zip codes), or other anonymous statistical data involving the use of our Technology (such as User IP addresses, browser types, domain names, operating systems, ISP domains, search terms used on the Technology, areas of the Technology accessed, the duration of visits to the Technology, and other clickstream data). Non-Personally Identifiable Information is used to help us understand who uses our Technology, and to improve and market our Technology.

Information from your mobile device

We may also use technologies to provide you with tailored information and features as you use our Technology. When you access our Technology from your mobile handheld device (“Mobile Device”), we may obtain information about the type of Mobile Device you are using. We may use this information to notify you of features and products that may be available on your Mobile Device. Certain features may require our collection of the phone number of your Mobile Device. We may link that phone number to the mobile device identification information. In addition, some mobile network providers (“Mobile Providers”) in the United States are required to use technology that tracks the physical location of Mobile Devices that use their service. Depending on your Mobile Provider and mobile device, we may automatically receive this information. If we begin to offer services that use this tracking (“pinpointing”) information, we will obtain your consent (an opt-in) before using the information. AFTER OBTAINING SUCH CONSENT, WE MAY USE AND STORE THIS INFORMATION TO PROVIDE LOCATION-BASED SERVICES, INCLUDING LOCATION-TARGETED ADVERTISING. BY ACCESSING THE TECHNOLOGY THROUGH YOUR MOBILE DEVICE, YOU ARE EXPRESSLY CONSENTING TO OUR COLLECTION OF SUCH INFORMATION AND ARE PROVIDING US WITH YOUR PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT TO RECEIVE TEXT MESSAGES AND ELECTRONIC EMAIL TO YOUR MOBILE DEVICE. WE MAY USE YOUR ELECTRONIC CONTACT INFORMATION TO SEND YOU COMMUNICATIONS.

Most mobile devices provide Users with the ability to disable location services. These controls are usually located in the mobile device’s settings menu. If you have questions about how to disable your mobile device’s location services, we recommend you contact your Mobile Provider or your mobile device manufacturer.

Information from other sources

We may also supplement the information we collect through the Technology with information from other sources to assist us in evaluating and improving our Technology and/or to determine your preferences so that we can tailor our Technology to your needs.

How is information about you collected?

A few of the methods that may be used to collect information about you (including Personally Identifiable Information) include, without limitation, the following (and subsequent technology and methods hereafter developed):

Becoming a registered User and purchasing products and services
You must first complete steps to become a registered User in order to access certain portions of our Technology, such as to receive informational materials, participate in our online community, create a profile, purchase products or services, or take advantage of deals, promotions or special offers. During these steps, you may be required to provide us with information (including Personally Identifiable Information) such as name, address, phone number, email address, and credit card and billing information.

Internet log files
We may also collect Non-Personally Identifiable Information through our Internet log files, which record data such as User IP addresses, browser types, domain names, and other anonymous statistical data involving the use of our Technology. This information may be used to analyze trends, to administer the Technology, to monitor use of our Technology, and to gather general demographic information. We may link this information to Personally Identifiable Information for these and other purposes, such as personalizing your experience on our Technology and evaluating our Technology and promotions in general.

Cookies
“Cookies” are small text files or other similar files placed and stored on the hard drive of a computer, mobile or other device when it is used to access the Technology. We may analyze the information derived from cookies and other technological tools we employ (such as clear gifs/web beacons) and match this information with data provided by you or another party. We may provide our analysis and certain non-personal information to third parties (who may in turn use this information to provide advertisements tailored to your interests). If you do not want information to be collected through the use of cookies, your browser allows you to deny or accept the use of cookies. If you choose to disable cookies on your computer, mobile or other device, some features of the Technology may not function properly or may not be able to customize the delivery of information to you.

Web beacons
“Web beacons” are small graphic images or other web programming code that may be included in our website pages. Web beacons are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, and are used to track the online movements of Users of our website pages. Unlike cookies, which are typically stored on your computer or mobile device’s hard drive, web beacons are embedded invisibly on web pages. Web beacons or similar technologies help us better manage content on our website and other Technology.

Embedded scripts
An “embedded script” is programming code that is designed to collect information about your interactions with the Technology, such as the links you click on. The code is temporarily downloaded onto your computer, mobile or other device from our server or a third-party service provider.

Web traffic and web performance analytics
We may also collect information using a variety of reports from web traffic and web performance analytics companies to improve our Technology. This information allows us to better understand Users of the Technology, and to customize the Technology while also tracking our success at reaching new audiences. This Privacy Policy does not govern the ability of any third-party analytics company to use and share information collected by such company.

IP addresses
An IP address is a number that is assigned to your computer, mobile or other computing device whenever you are surfing the Internet. Web servers (computers that “serve up” web pages) automatically identify your computer or other computing device by its IP address. When Users request pages from our website, our servers may log their IP addresses.

Email communications
If you send us an email with questions or comments, we may use your Personally Identifiable Information to respond to your questions or comments, and we may save your questions or comments for future reference. For security reasons, we do not recommend that you send non-public personal information, such as passwords, credit card information, social security numbers, or bank account information, to us by email. In certain instances, we may provide you with the option to set your preferences for receiving email communications from us; that is, agree to some communications but not others. We reserve the right to send you transactional emails such as customer service communications.

How is your information used?

In general, we use the information collected on and through our Technology to help us understand who uses our Technology and how it is used, to personalize your experience, to assist you in using our Technology, to improve our Technology, and for billing purposes.

If you become a registered use or purchase products or services through our Technology, we may use your information to communicate with you if and when necessary in connection with your use of the Website, to respond to your questions, to provide receipts for our Services, or to send you material and information about the Website or requested by you.

In addition, if you send us an email with questions or comments, we may use your information (including Personally Identifiable Information) to respond to your questions or comments, and we may file your questions or comments for future reference. We may also use the information collected to send you important service announcements and updates regarding our Technology, our privacy practices, or about your billing account status. You will not be able to unsubscribe from these service announcements and updates as they contain important information relevant to your use of our Technology. However, you may “opt out” of electronic newsletters, promotional content, and news that may be of interest to you. If you no longer desire to receive these types of promotional communications, we will provide you with an option to change your preferences.

In addition, if you become a registered User we may use your information to contact you by via email about our products, services, promotions, information and news that may be of interest to you, unless you notify us that you no longer desire to receive these communications.

We may also use the information gathered on and through our Technology to perform statistical analysis of User behavior or to evaluate and improve our Technology. We may link some of this information to Personally Identifiable Information for internal purposes only.

When is information disclosed to third parties?

Except as set forth below and elsewhere in this Privacy Policy, or as specifically agreed to by you, we will not disclose any information we gather from you on our Technology.

Third-party partners
Liquitech does not sell or rent your personal information to third parties. We may disclose your information, including Personally Identifiable Information, to our third-party partners, such as credit card processing services, in order to complete transactions, run our business, or provide Services requested by you.

Laws and legal rights
We may also disclose your information, including Personally Identifiable Information, if we believe in good faith that we are required to do so in order to comply with laws or regulations, a subpoena, a search warrant, a court or regulatory order, or other valid legal process. We may disclose Personally Identifiable Information in special circumstances when we have reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be violating our Terms of Use or other User agreement, or to protect the safety or security of our Users, our Technology or the general public.

Our service providers
We may provide information to third parties about you that does not allow you to be identified or contacted, including where such information is combined with similar information of other Users of our Technology. For example, we might inform third parties regarding the number of unique Users who visit our Technology, the demographic breakdown of the registered Users of our Technology, or the activities that visitors to our Technology engage in while on our Technology. The third parties to which we may provide this information may include independent providers of products or services offered for sale through our Technology, potential or actual advertisers, providers of advertising services (including website tracking services), commercial partners, sponsors, licensees, researchers and other similar parties.

We also may allow advertisers (“Advertisers”) to choose the Users who will see their advertisements or promotional offers. You agree that we may provide any Non-Personally Identifiable Information we have collected from you to an Advertiser, so that Advertiser may select the appropriate audience for advertisements or offers. For example, we might use the fact you are located in Illinois to show you ads or offers for Illinois businesses, but we will not tell such businesses who you are.

In addition, if you have not opted out of our targeted advertising, you agree that we may share your personal information with Advertisers in order to deliver specific targeted advertising or offers to you (“Targeted Advertising”). If we enable Targeted Advertising for our Users by default, you will be able to opt out of Targeted Advertising at any time by changing your personal settings. You may see certain ads on other websites if we participate in advertising networks administered by third parties. These networks track your online activities over time by collecting information through automated means, including through the use of the automated technologies described above, and they use this information to show you advertisements that are tailored to your individual interests. The information they collect includes information about your visits to our Technology, such as the pages you have viewed. This collection may take place both on our Technology and on third-party websites that participate in the relevant ad network, such as websites that feature advertisements delivered by the ad network. If you want to prevent third parties from delivering tailored advertising, visit the Network Advertising Initiative Consumer Opt-Out Page, and the Digital Advertising Alliance Opt-out Page.

Sale of business
We reserve the right to transfer information to a third-party in the event of a sale, merger or other transfer of all or substantially all of our assets, provided that the third-party agrees to adhere to the terms of this Privacy Policy.
