EFFECTIVE: MAY 25, 2018

UltraTech is a premier provider of environmental compliance products and the largest manufacturer of spill containment, stormwater management, facility protection, and construction compliance products in the world. Beyond external sales and marketing initiatives, UltraTech promotes its products and innovations via this UltraTech website, www.SpillContainment.com (the “Site”). This Site is operated by UltraTech International, Inc. (the “Company”, “we” or “us”) for users of the Site (“you”). This Privacy Policy sets forth our policy with respect to information that is collected from visitors to the Site. Under applicable law, UltraTech Inc. is the “data controller” of personal data collected through the Site.

BY USING THIS WEBSITE, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND CONSENT TO THE DATA PRACTICES DESCRIBED IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY.

INFORMATION WE COLLECT 

Personally Identifiable Information

When you interact with us through the Site, we collect personally identifiable information, such as your email address, name, home or work address or telephone number when you voluntarily provide such information to us. UltraTech also collects anonymous demographic information, which is not unique to you, such as your ZIP code, age, gender, preferences, and interests.

Automated Information

Some information about your computer hardware and software is automatically collected by UltraTech as you utilize the Site but that is not personally identifiable. This information can include your IP address, browser type, domain names, access times, and referring website addresses. This information is used by UltraTech for the operation of the Site, to maintain the quality of the service, and to provide general statistics regarding use of the UltraTech website.

We also employ “cookies” and similar technologies to keep track of your local computer’s settings. Cookies are pieces of data that sites and services can set on your browser or device that can be read on future visits. In addition, we use technologies such as web beacons and single-pixel gifs to record log data such as open rates for emails sent by the system.

Third-Party Data Collection

We may use third-party website analytics tools such as Google Analytics on our website that employ cookies to collect certain information concerning your use of our Site. While this information is not personally identifiable, you can disable cookies by changing your browser settings. Further information about the procedure to follow in order to disable cookies can be found on your Internet browser provider’s website via your help screen.

Advertising Data

You may see our products and services advertised in other applications or websites. After clicking on one of these advertisements, you will become a user of the Site. Advertising platforms may collect information for optimizing advertising campaigns outside of this website and our control. If you do not wish to receive personalized advertising that is delivered by third parties, you may be able to exercise that choice through opt-out programs that are administered by those third parties, including the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) and the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA).

Our website does not respond to “Do Not Track” (DNT) signals and operate as described in this Privacy Policy whether or not a DNT signal is received, as there is no consistent industry standard for compliance.

Public Information

If you directly disclose personally identifiable information or personally sensitive data through any public message boards, social media services or similar, either operated by or affiliated with UltraTech or not, such information may be collected and used by others.

Demographic Information

In an ongoing effort to better understand and serve our customers and potential customers, we may conduct research on our customer demographics, interests, and behavior based on the information collected. This research may be compiled and analyzed on an aggregate basis, and we may share this aggregate data with our affiliates, agents and business partners. We may also disclose aggregated user statistics in order to describe our products and services to current and prospective business partners, and to other third parties for other lawful purposes. The aggregate data described in this paragraph are not personally identifiable.

WHERE INFORMATION IS PROCESSED

  • Aggregated or Non-identifiable Data: We may also share aggregated or non-personally identifiable information with our partners or others for business purposes.
