1. What information do we collect?

We understand that you expect to learn about our company when you visit this web site. Similarly, we hope to learn about your needs as a current or potential customer through your visits to this web site.

We collect only the personal information required to provide our products and services to you. We will not, as a condition of supplying you with our products or services, require you to consent to the collection, use or disclosure of personal information beyond that required to fulfill the specified, legitimate purposes. Information shall be collected by fair and lawful means.

a) Personal Information

Personal information is any information about an identifiable individual, which means any information that relates to you and identifies you personally, either alone or in combination with other information.

On some of our web pages you may be able to ask questions and register to receive information. On these pages, we will ask you for the personal information necessary for us to respond to you (e.g., name, mailing address, electronic mail address, telephone number). If you opt not to provide us with personal information, you can still access our web sites; however you may be unable to participate in certain promotions or receive product information offered through Recochem’s web sites or interactive advertisements.

b) Aggregate and Statistical Data

Recochem may collect certain aggregate data called web log information (such as your web browser, operating system, pages visited, etc.) and use cookies when you visit many of our web pages. For instance, when you visit one of our web sites, our web server will automatically recognize some information, including, but not limited to, the date and time you visited our site, the pages you visited, the referrer (the website you came from), the type of browser you are using (e.g., Chrome, Edge and Firefox), the type of operating system you are using (e.g., Windows or Mac OS), and the domain name and address of your Internet service provider (e.g., Rogers).

Neither our cookies nor web log information collects any identifiable information.

In some cases we may also collect information about you that you voluntarily submit, such as general statistical information like age, gender, household size, zip/postal code, preferences and interests.

2. Cookies and third-party web analytics

When you view one of our web sites or interactive advertisements, we may collect some anonymized usage information. The collection of this anonymized information is done through the “cookie” technology. Our cookies may store some information on your computer. This information will be in the form of a small text file, also called a “cookie.” Cookies help us in many ways to make your visit to our website more enjoyable and meaningful to you. For example, cookies avoid you having to choose your country/language every time you come back to one of our web sites. They also allow us to tailor a web site or advertisement to better match your interests and preferences. Most browsers can be configured not to accept cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. Please see: https://youradchoices.ca/en/tools for some of these options.

Our cookies cannot read data off of your hard drive, cannot read cookie files created by other web sites and will not be used to identify you. If you erase or reject a cookie, you may still use this web site.

We use third-party web analytics services on our web site, including Google Analytics. These service providers which use automated technologies, such as cookies and pixels to collect and analyze certain kinds of technical information, help us understand how visitors use our web site and provide advertising services to us, including interest-based advertising or advertisements targeted to your interests. Interest-based advertisements are ads presented to you based on your browsing behaviour in order to provide you with ads more tailored to your interests. These interest based ads may be presented to you while you are browsing our web site or third-party sites not owned by Recochem.

Please visit these third-party sites to review their privacy policies and manage their cookies and other tracking technologies, and for information on how to opt-out of some of these practices.

Please note that if you choose to opt out, you will continue to see ads on our web site, and may see ads about us on other web sites, but they will not be based on how you browse and engage with our website.

3. What do we do with this information?

We will use the information that you provide to us to better understand your needs and to provide you with better products and services. At the most basic level, we will use information you provide us to communicate with you, to update you on our products and services and to personalize our web sites for you. Web logs may be used if necessary to help identify any person attempting to break into or damage our web site. We may share web log information with law enforcement agencies if we believe that we have evidence of a violation of computer security or related laws.

Periodically, we may survey you about your use of products for other market research or to provide you with marketing information we think will be useful to you. Of course, you need not participate in these surveys or accept this marketing information.

4. Will information be shared or sold to third-parties?

We will not sell the information which you give to us to third parties.

These vendors, contractors or partners are restricted from using this data in any way other than to provide services for Recochem, and they may not share or resell this data.

We always require a comparable level of protection from our third-party relations for any personal information which they may access or process in the course of providing services us.

5. Storage and cross-border transfers

Personal information may be accessed by persons within our organization, or our third-party service providers, who require such access to carry out the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, or otherwise permitted or required by applicable law. Personal information we collect is managed from our offices in Canada, the United States and Australia. We may also use service providers located outside of Canada, and, if applicable, your personal information may be processed and stored in other countries and therefore may be subject to access by or disclosure to foreign law enforcement authorities under the laws of those jurisdictions.

6. We limit disclosure, use and/or retention of your personal information

Under exceptional circumstances, we may have a legal duty or right to collect, use or disclose your personal information without your knowledge or consent. In accordance with applicable laws, we will not disclose personal information without your consent, except where customer information is required to be disclosed such as for: (i) the purposes of collecting a debt owed by the individual to the organization; (ii) for law enforcement purposes; (iii) for the purpose of complying with a legal requirement; (iv) where information is public as permitted by law; (v) where it is reasonable for the purposes of investigating a breach of an agreement, or actual or suspected illegal activity; (vi) in the case of a merger, acquisition, sale or divestiture of assets or other similar business transaction for purposes of evaluation and completion of the business transaction, in compliance with any requirements under applicable laws; and (vi) otherwise where permitted or required by applicable law.

Where required or permitted to disclose personal information without consent, we will not disclose more information than is required.

We will retain your personal information only for so long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected and to meet our legal and contractual obligations. We will employ specific retention periods, after which personal information is destroyed or made anonymous.
