Cloeren Incorporated (hereinafter referred to as “Cloeren”, “us”, or “we”) is committed to protecting your privacy online and has established the following privacy practices for this Site. This policy explains the measures taken by Cloeren to keep information about you private and secure. Your continued use of this Site will indicate your agreement to be bound by the privacy practices set forth below. If you do not agree to be bound by this Privacy Policy, please promptly exit this Site.
We reserve the right to change this Privacy Policy at any time. Such changes, modifications, additions, and/or deletions shall be effective immediately by posting the revised Policy on this Site. You acknowledge and agree that it is your responsibility to review the Site and this Policy periodically and to be aware of any modifications thereof.

Collection and Use of Personal Information
In order to provide you with better services, we collect, also by means of third parties (Cookies) ,two types of information about our users: Personally Identifiable Information and Non-Personally Identifiable Information. Our primary goal in collecting information from you is to provide you with a smooth and efficient experience while using our Site.
Personally Identifiable Information: This refers to information that lets us know the specifics of who you are. When you engage in certain activities on this Site, such as requesting information, ordering a product or service, submitting content, and/or sending us feedback, we may ask you to provide certain information about yourself by filling out and submitting an online form. It is completely optional for you to engage in these activities. If you elect to engage in these activities, however, we may ask that you provide us personal information, such as your first and last name, mailing address (including zip code), email address, employer, job title, telephone and facsimile numbers, and/or other personal identifying information. Depending upon the activity, some of the information we ask you to provide is identified as mandatory and some as voluntary. If you do not provide the mandatory data with respect to a particular activity, you will not be able to engage in that activity.
Non-Personally Identifiable Information: This refers to information that does not by itself identify a specific individual. We gather certain information about you based upon where you visit on our Site in several ways. This information is compiled and analyzed on both a personal and an aggregated basis. This information may include the Web Site’s Uniform Resource Locator (“URL”) that you just came from, which URL you go to next, what browser you are using, and your Internet Protocol (“IP”) address. An URL is the global address of documents and other resources on the World Wide Web. An IP address is an identifier for a computer or device on a Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (“TCP/IP”) network, such as the World Wide Web. Networks like the Web use the TCP/IP protocol to route information based on the IP address of the destination. In other words, an IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are surfing the web, allowing web servers to locate and identify your computer. Computers require IP addresses in order for users to communicate on the Internet.
We do not collect any Personally Identifiable Information about you unless you voluntarily provide it to us. You provide certain Personally Identifiable Information to us when you:
- request additional information regarding our products and/or our services and provide us with your e-mail address;
- send e-mail messages, submit forms or transmit other information by telephone or letter; or
- order and purchase products and services on our Site.
We may also collect information from you at other points on our Site that state that such information is being collected.
In addition, we may also collect certain Non-Personally Identifiable Information. This information is ultimately stored in the form of categories, and, in some cases, specific URLs. We use your IP address to diagnose problems with our servers, software, to administer our Site and to gather demographic information.
We will primarily use your Personally Identifiable Information to provide our services to you, as required by our agreements with you. We will also use Personally Identifiable Information to enhance the operation of our Site, fill orders, improve our marketing and promotional efforts, statistically analyze Site use, improve our product and service offerings, and customize our Site’s content, layout, and services. We may use Personally Identifiable Information to deliver information to you and to contact you regarding administrative notices.
We do not share, sell, trade, or rent your Personally Identifiable Information to others. We do provide some of our services through contractual arrangements with our subsidiaries, and/or affiliates, and other third parties. We and such other third parties may use your Personally Identifiable Information to operate our Sites and to deliver their services. For example, we must release your address information to a delivery service to deliver the products that you purchased on this Site.
We will encourage our service partners to adopt and post privacy policies. However, the use of your Personally Identifiable Information by our service partners is governed by the privacy policies of those service partners, and is not subject to our control.
Occasionally we may be required by law enforcement or judicial authorities to provide Personally Identifiable Information to the appropriate governmental authorities. We will disclose Personally Identifiable Information upon receipt of a court order, subpoena, or to cooperate with a law enforcement investigation. We fully cooperate with law enforcement agencies in identifying those who use our services for illegal activities. We reserve the right to report to law enforcement agencies any activities that we in good faith believe to be unlawful.
The importance of security of all Personally Identifiable Information associated with our user is of utmost concern to us. Consistent with current industry standards, your Personally Identifiable Information resides on a secure server that only selected personnel of Cloeren have access to through the use of a secure password. Your Personally Identifiable Information is encrypted and thereby prevents unauthorized parties from viewing such information when it is transmitted to us.
Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet or any wireless network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your Personally Identifiable Information, you acknowledge that: (a) there are security and privacy limitations of the Internet which are beyond our control; (b) the security, integrity and privacy of any and all information and data exchanged between you and us through this Site cannot be guaranteed; and (c) any such information and data may be viewed or tampered with in transit by a third party.
Additional information for European Customers (GDPR)
You accept that your data (as described above) will be transmitted to the United States i.e to a state without data adequacy resolution according to Art 45 (3) GDPR and without appropriate guarantees according to Art 46 GDPR. There is the risk that your transmitted data will be used/ monitored by non-European governmental authorities and that there is no valid remedial action against such measures.
