Chem-Trend provides this Privacy Statement to inform you of our privacy policies and practices, including the types of information we may collect, why we collect it, how we use that information, and how you can exercise your choices as to how your information is used. This Privacy Statement is accessible from the bottom of each page of each of Chem-Trend Limited Partnership's site to which it applies, and at every point where personal information is requested.

1)	Global Privacy Policy Chem-Trend Limited Partnership, with its subsidiaries, is a global company, with business operations and customers in many countries around the globe. Chem-Trend Limited Partnership's intent is to comply with the privacy laws and regulations in all of the jurisdictions in which we conduct business, and our privacy practices are designed to provide protection for your personal information around the world. We may share your information within Chem-Trend Limited Partnership and its subsidiaries, including transferring that information to countries in which we do business. Any of Chem-Trend Limited Partnership's subsidiaries receiving your information will be governed by this Privacy Statement and are also bound by appropriate confidentiality and data transfer agreements. Your information may be stored and processed in the United States or any other country where Chem-Trend Limited Partnership or its subsidiaries are located. Your personal information is never shared outside Chem-Trend Limited Partnership or its subsidiaries without your permission, except under conditions explained herein. These Terms apply for all Content displayed on the Website or made available for download. The individual pages of the Website are operated and administered by the Company at the address listed above in compliance with the legal requirements applicable to the Company's registered office. If the Content is accessed from other locations, the user is solely responsible for conformity of use in compliance with the regulations and provisions in force at the user's location.
2)	Personal information Personal information is information that identifies an individual personally, including but not limited to name, address, phone number, e-mail address, personal characteristics, and financial information. You can visit Chem-Trend Limited Partnership's website without disclosing any personal information; however, in some instances, you will be required to provide personal information in order to complete a transaction or take advantage of the online resources made available by Chem-Trend Limited Partnership. Chem-Trend Limited Partnership will only collect the personal information reasonably necessary to accomplish the purpose for which it is collected, and will retain it only as long as is reasonably necessary. Personal information collected online by Chem-Trend Limited Partnership may be combined with information you provide through other sources such as product registration, customer service call centers, or other methods.
3)	Cookies and Tracking Technology Like most websites, Chem-Trend Limited Partnership's website may collect and log information automatically through the use of electronic tools that may be transparent to you. Information collected may include items such as your IP address, the type and version of your browser, the length of time that you visit our site, search queries, your click-stream data, the location that referred you to our website and the average number of pages viewed. In addition, in order to improve our sites and your experiences with them, we may use "cookies" or other electronic means to track your visits. Cookies are simply small text files that our website can place on your computer's hard drive in order, for example, to collect information about your activities on the site or to make it possible for you to use an online "shopping cart" to keep track of items you wish to purchase. Our site's server, generally speaking, is the only computer that can read it. Many consumers do not know that "cookies" are being placed on their computers when they visit most websites. Cookies cannot read data from your hard disk or read cookie files created by other websites and they cannot infect your computer with viruses. If you want to know when this happens, or to prevent it from happening, you can set your browser to warn you when a website attempts to place a "cookie" on your computer. Please click on the "Help" menu of your browser for information on setting your cookie preferences. You can also read more about cookies and how they work at various online sources, including www.cookiecentral.com.
4)	Children and Privacy Chem-Trend Limited Partnership is committed to protecting the online privacy of children. Chem-Trend Limited Partnership does not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from or about children under the age of 13, and Chem-Trend Limited Partnership does not target its websites to children under 13. Additionally, Chem-Trend Limited Partnership does not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from or about children above the age of 13, without their parent's or guardian's consent. If Chem-Trend Limited Partnership ever includes children above 13 as part of our intended website audience, those specific website pages will be clearly identified and provide an express privacy notice for children above 13, as well as processes to obtain parental approval and allow parental access to request removal of their children's personal information. Chem-Trend Limited Partnership encourages parents and guardians to spend time with their children online and participate in their interactive activities and interests.
5)	How We Use Your Information Chem-Trend Limited Partnership collects personal information to enable us to provide products, services and information to our customers, potential customers, and business partners. We intend to let you know how we will use the information you provide before we collect it from you; and we intend to limit our use of that information to those purposes for which you give us permission. For example, Chem-Trend Limited Partnership may collect financial information to facilitate the purchase of products or services online, and postal or e-mail addresses to provide information in response to your request or to allow you to participate in promotions. We do not sell, trade or lease your information to others. Chem-Trend Limited Partnership will not share your information with third parties except in responding to your requests for products, services or other Chem-Trend Limited Partnership information. When we collect the information, we will obtain your consent regarding how you want or do not want us to use it. We may share your information with other persons or companies to help us manage our business. When we do so, we require them to use that information only for the purposes for which we provided it. We might use your information to develop aggregate statistics about our sales, customers, users, and site visitors, but these statistics will not include any personally identifiable information.
6)	Protecting Your Information Chem-Trend Limited Partnership uses procedural, manual and electronic security controls to maintain the confidentiality and integrity of personal information in our possession, and guard against its unauthorized access or use.

Such employees are expected to keep that information in confidence and share it only with those Chem-Trend Limited Partnership employees who have a business reason to know. Unauthorized disclosures or uses are strictly prohibited, and employees who violate our policies may be subject to disciplinary action.
7)	Communications from Us If you provide us with your email address, we may occasionally send you, in accordance with relevant regulations, email with information or special offers about Chem-Trend Limited Partnership products and services that may be of interest to you. We will give you opportunity to let us know if you want to receive such email when you provide us your personal data or register for an online promotion. This applies to promotional email only, as Chem-Trend Limited Partnership may find it necessary to email you relating to your customer account or order. All promotional email that you receive from Chem-Trend Limited Partnership will tell you how to decline receiving future promotional email.
