Therefore, You should use care before posting any personal information online.
Personal Information Provided to Other Parties Working With Us
We partner with authorized service providers and contractors as an essential part of Our business operations, which allows Us to make the Website available, offer products and services to You, and process and deliver Your orders.
We do not “sell” or “share” (as those terms are defined in the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) and as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act) the personal information collected on Our Website to any third party for any reason. We do not sell your personal information in exchange for money or other valuable consideration.
SERVICE PROVIDERS AND CONTRACTORS:
Energy & Process employs authorized service providers and contractors to assist with Website operations and analytics and for fulfilling payments and transactions (such as for Website management, customer relationship management, payment card processing services, order fulfillment and delivery services, cloud storage services and other technology services). Energy & Process and these authorized service providers and contractors collect personal information and non-personal information, which may be provided to Energy & Process or to these authorized service providers and contractors. Energy & Process may also provide Your personal information to its authorized service providers and contractors to facilitate processing and fulfilling and delivering Your order.
An authorized service provider or contractor receiving any of Your personal information from Energy & Process is required to use and maintain that personal information only as authorized by Energy & Process.
Other Information Collected
Energy & Process, on its own or through authorized service providers and contractors, may also collect and use other information from You and about You that does not specifically identify You individually. Without limitation, this may include:
information from Your internet browser whenever You visit or use the Website;
device information and usage data; geographic location (city and state);
internet service provider; referring and exiting websites and pages; operating system; which pages You visit on Our Website; and the time and date of Your visit and use of Energy & Process’ pages.

Aggregating and Combining Information
At times, We may aggregate certain personal information and/or non-personal information in a manner that does not identify You to determine information about Our customers, including product trends, sales histories, and where Our customers are located.
We may also combine personal information with non-personal information. If We do so, We will treat such combined information as personal information.
Using Non-Personal Information
Because non-personal information does not identify You individually, We may collect, use, and disclose non-personal information for any lawful purpose in Our sole discretion.
SMS / Text Messaging
Energy & Process may use SMS / Text Messaging to communicate with You and send order information, only if such communication is initiated by You. You can stop SMS / Text Messaging communications at any time by discontinuing SMS / Text Messaging or by contacting us at the number below.
Energy & Process does not charge for its SMS services. However, Your wireless service provider may apply package deductions and message / data rates to all SMS or MMS messages and rates differ from carrier to carrier. Please contact Your wireless service provider to inquire about the details specific to Your plan. Message frequency will vary by user.
If You need any further assistance, please contact Us at 800-241-9460 or email Us at contact@energyandprocess.com.
Energy & Process and its authorized service providers use digital tracking tools such as cookies and similar technology when You use the Website. Cookies are small files that are transferred to Your device’s hard drive through Your internet browser that enables the Website’s or authorized service providers’ systems to recognize Your browser and capture and remember certain information. This helps Us to improve Your access to Our Website, and enable Website traffic monitoring.
We use session-based cookies and persistent cookies. Session-based cookies will last only as long as Your web browser is open and are deleted when You close Your browser. A persistent cookie will last until it expires or until You delete it. At times, Energy & Process administers the use of cookies (called first-party cookies) and tracking technologies, and at times We rely upon authorized service providers. These service providers may also use cookies and other identifiers to collect information that indicates how users interact with the Website (e.g., Google Analytics ).
Using cookies helps Us do a number of things to enhance Your experience as a customer or potential customer of Energy & Process, including to:
identify users and visitors to the Website, including new visitors and returning customers; compile analytics, statistics and reports on Our Website and web traffic activity; and provide other services related to the Website.
Do Not Track Information
Some browsers have a “Do Not Track” feature that lets You tell websites that You do not want to have Your online activities tracked. There is currently no uniform browser signal for this feature and no industry standard on how to respond to these signals. Therefore enabling/disabling the Do Not Track feature in Your browser does not ensure that all websites You visit will respond to the request.
Energy & Process does not recognize or respond to Do Not Track signals at this time. Energy & Process will reassess its approach to responding to Do Not Track signals once an industry standard is established.
If You are a resident of California, You have the following rights:
Right to Correct: You have the right to request that We correct inaccuracies in your personal information.
Right to Delete: You have the right to request that We delete personal information that We have collected from or obtained about You (subject to certain exceptions).
Right to Know: You have the right to request that We disclose to You what personal information We collect about You, including the right to request that we provide You the categories of personal information collected, the categories of sources from which the personal information is collected, the business or commercial purpose for collection, the categories of third parties to whom We disclose personal information, and the specific pieces of personal information We have collected about you (typically for the 12-month period preceding Your request).
Right to Non-Discrimination: You have the right not to be discriminated against because You exercised any of these rights.
As noted above, We do not “sell” or “share” any personal information that We collect about You to any third party for any reason. Therefore, the “Right to Know About Sale or Sharing” and the “Right to Opt-out of Sale or Sharing” under the CCPA does not apply.
To exercise any of these rights (other than non-discrimination), You may contact us by email at dataprivacy@energyandprocess.com or call (833) 865-0355. You may also designate an authorized agent to complete a Data Subject Access Request (DSAR) on Your behalf. If You use an authorized agent to submit a request, We will not act on that request unless We are able to authenticate, with commercially reasonable effort, both your identity and the authorized agent’s authority to act on your behalf.
Once You submit a DSAR request, You are sent an email that requires clicking on a link to verify the email address. This two-factor validation helps protect against fraudulent submissions. Please note that a DSAR request is not processed until You have authenticated Your request by verifying the email address submitted.
There may be certain circumstances when We may not completely fulfill Your request, as permitted under the applicable California statute and regulations. For example, in connection with a Request to Delete, We may need to retain certain information to complete a transaction, detect fraud, or comply with a legal obligation.
With limited exceptions, You may only make a verifiable consumer Request to Know your personal information twice within a 12-month period.
Other Websites
The Website contains links to other sites (including social media sites) that are not owned or controlled by Energy & Process. Energy & Process is not responsible for the content, actions, privacy policies or information privacy and security practices of any other sites and encourages You to review the privacy policies of those sites. Energy & Process is not responsible for the content of linked sites, Your use of any linked sites, or any information (including Your personal information) collected, posted, used, or displayed by operators of any linked sites. In addition, Energy & Process is not responsible for any third party, or their affiliates or agents, failure to use Your personal information in accordance with such third party’s privacy policy, or any contractual or other legal obligations to which such third party, their affiliates, or agents may be subject.
Intended Website Audience and Notice Regarding Children’s Privacy
We do not knowingly collect or store any personal information from children under the age of 18, and We request that minors do not provide any personal information to Us through the Website. If a parent or guardian becomes aware that his or her child under 18 has provided Us with information without his or her consent, he or she should contact Us as set forth in the “Contacting Us” section below.
Visitors from Outside the United States – Cross-Border Transfer
The Website is hosted in the United States and is intended for use only by individuals in the United States who are 18 years or older, as a result, the information Energy & Process collects is governed by applicable laws of the United States. If You are visiting the Website from outside the United States, Your information may be transferred to, stored and processed in the United States or other countries.
The data protection and other applicable laws of the Unites States may not be as comprehensive as those laws or regulations in other countries or may otherwise differ from the data protection or consumer protection laws in other countries.
By using the Website and/or providing personal information to Energy & Process, You consent to transfer and use of Your personal information by Energy & Process as set forth and described in this Privacy Policy and Our Terms of Use.
Data Security
The security of your personal information is very important to Us. We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to Us, and that We collect, both during transmission and storage. However, no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. Therefore, while We strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, We cannot guarantee the absolute security of the personal information provided by You or collected by Us through use of the Website or other means.
Retention and Storage of Personal Information
We store all categories of the personal information that We collect (see “Collection And Use Of Personal Information” section above) for as long as You have an account with Us or the period of time necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, or as required by or permitted by applicable law.
To determine the appropriate duration of the retention of personal information, we consider a variety of factors, including the following: The amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal information; The potential risks of harm to consumers; Our recordkeeping and legal compliance requirements; The need to protect the rights or safety of You, Us or others, including the resolution of inquiries or complaints; The need to exercise or defend legal claims; and The need to prevent fraud, protect assets and promote data security.
Once retention of the personal information is no longer necessary for the purposes outlined above, We will either delete or de-identify the personal information or, if this is not possible (for example, because personal information has been stored in backup archives), then We will store and protect the personal information until deletion or de-identification is possible.
Updates to this Privacy Policy
We may update Our privacy policy from time to time, and use of the information We collect now is subject to the privacy policy in effect at the time of use. The “LAST UPDATED” legend at the top of this Privacy Policy indicates when this Privacy Policy was last revised, and We encourage You to check our Privacy Policy periodically. Any changes will become effective when We post the revised Privacy Policy on Our Website. Your use of the Website, and/or your purchase of a product or service following these changes means that You accept the revised Privacy Policy.
