Our Site has the ability to collect two types of information from and about you: (i) personally identifiable information; and (ii) non-personally identifiable information, both as defined below:
Personally Identifiable Information
Our definition of personally identifiable information includes any information that may be used to specifically identify or contact you, such as your name, postal and email addresses, phone number or bank, debit or credit card information.

Whether or not you provide this information is your choice; however, in many instances this type of information is required to participate in the particular activity or service, realize a benefit we may offer, or to gain access to certain content through our Site.
Non-Personal Information
Our definition of non-personal information is any information that does not personally identify you. Non-personal information can include certain personally identifiable information that has been de-identified; that is, information that has been rendered anonymous. We obtain non-personal information about you from information that you provide us, either separately or together with your personally identifiable information.

Unless you ask us not to, we may contact you in the future to tell you about specials, new products or services, changes to this privacy policy or to communicate with you about content or other information you have posted or shared with us via our Site.
We and our third party partners may also use the non-personally identifiable information that we collect in a variety of ways, including to administer the Site, help us analyze website traffic and usage, understand customer needs and trends, marketing activities, to carry out targeted promotional activities, improve the quality of the pages that make up our Site, to gather broad demographic information, and to improve our Site. We may use your non-personal information by itself or aggregate it with information we have obtained from others. We may share your non-personal information with our affiliated companies and/or third parties, including sharing aggregated demographic information with our partners and advertisers, to achieve these objectives and others.
In addition to the foregoing, we and our third party partners may use your personally identifiable information or non-personal information as follows:

Except as described in this Privacy Policy and except as necessary to fulfill your request, we will not share any of your information with any third party outside of our organization, including our affiliates and related companies, our authorized dealers, our contractors (and their contractors), our vendors (and their vendors), our consultants, and our professional advisors to the extent necessary for them to perform services on our behalf, and persons or entities with whom we have marketing, business or other relationships. For example, we may use a third party dealer and shipping company to fulfill and ship orders, or a credit card processing company to bill users for goods and services, or if we partner with another party to provide specific services, then we will share your name, email, shipping and billing address, payment details, company name, phone number, IP address, device data, and other contact information that is necessary for the third party to provide these services.
Your Access to and Control Over Information

Security
When you submit information to us through any of our Site, you should be aware that your information is transmitted across the Internet and that no method of transmission over the Internet is completely or 100% secure. While we take reasonable precautions to protect your information, you also need to ensure you take appropriate steps to protect your information. We have implemented security measures, either directly or through one of our third party partners, that we consider reasonable and appropriate to protect against the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our control. Some of these steps include using or asking our third party vendors to: use SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) technologies where appropriate on our Site; and comply with PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) security standards.
Please be advised, however, that while we strive to protect your personally identifiable information, other information and privacy, we cannot guarantee or warrant the security of any information you disclose or transmit to us online, and we are not responsible for the theft, destruction or inadvertent disclosure of your personally identifiable information or any other information. Plastitrail will take all commercially reasonable efforts to restrict access to and encrypt certain product representations and certifications such as bills of lading, photographs, and data sheets submitted by users as part of a sales offering or sales agreement using industry standard encryption protocols. In the unfortunate event that your “personal information” (as the term or similar terms are defined by any applicable law requiring notice upon a security breach) is compromised, we may notify you by e-mail (at our sole and absolute discretion), to the last e-mail address you have provided us, in the most expedient time reasonable under the circumstances; provided, however, delays in notification may occur while we take necessary measures to determine the scope of the breach and restore reasonable integrity to the system as well as for the legitimate needs of law enforcement if notification would impede a criminal investigation. From time to time, we evaluate new technology for protecting information and, when appropriate, we upgrade our information security systems.
Updates to this Privacy Policy
Our Privacy Policy may change from time to time and all updates will be posted on this page.

“Web beacons” are small graphic images or other web programming code that may be included in our Site pages or other areas of the Site. 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 Site pages and Site. Unlike cookies, which are typically stored on your computer or mobile device’s hard drive, web beacons are embedded invisibly on web pages.
We and our third party partners may also use web beacons, tracking technology and other automated tracking methods on our websites, in communications with you, and in our products and services, to measure performance and engagement. Web beacons or similar technologies help us better manage content on our Site by informing us what content is effective, counting the number of users of the Site, monitoring how users navigate the Site and make purchases, or counting how many e-mails, articles or links were actually opened or viewed.
Embedded Scripts
An “embedded script” is programming code that is designed to collect information about your interactions with the Site, 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 Site. This information allows us to better understand users of the Site and to customize the Site 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 Site, our servers may log their IP addresses. We may collect IP addresses for the following purposes, among others: system administration, to report non-personal aggregate information to others and to track the use of our Site. IP addresses are considered non-personal information and may also be shared as provided above.
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 or receipts.
Information from your Mobile Device
We may also use technologies, such as location based information, to provide you with tailored information and features as you use our Site. When you access the Site on your mobile device, including, but not limited to, mobile phones and tablets (“Mobile Device”), we may obtain information from your Mobile Device 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, but will not use that number for telemarketing. In addition, some mobile network providers (“Mobile Provider”) in the U.S. 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. 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.
