Two types of data are collected: (a) personal information that can be used, alone or in combination with other information, to identify a person and may include contact information such as your first name, last name, email address and phone number, your professional background, your stated and inferred interests, dates of birth, age, financial information, credit card information, gender, product and/or services information, photographs, comments, and your activity on the website or while you use the System (“Personal Data”); and (b) non-personal aggregate or traffic data, such as your IP address, which web pages or portions of the System you are visiting, the order in which the areas are visited, unique device identifier, time zone, which hyperlinks or functions are being “clicked”, how many users are visiting or accessing the System, vehicles sites viewed, domain server, location-based or real-time geographic location information, type of computer or device, and type of web browser (“Traffic Data” and together with Personal Data, the “Collected Data”).
You may also need to provide payment information when using the System to purchase products or services, which is processed by our third-party payment processor which processes payments on our behalf and collects your payment information when you order and pay for our products or services. Such information may include your credit card number, security code, expiration date and billing address and other contact information such as your email address and/or telephone number.
Collection and Usage
Personal Data is gathered when users provide or authorize Personal Data to or through the System, for example, when requesting information, participating in an online survey, inputting content into the System, verifying user credentials, purchasing products or services, allowing access to social media networks, or utilizing any other AR Powder Coating product or service through the System. Personal Data is also gathered about others when users share content with family, friends, or other contacts, without limitation, the name, email address, phone number, and mailing address.
Traffic Data is tracked and gathered when you and other users visit or access the System. While gathering Traffic Data may not collect Personal Data, it may provide information on the geographical location from which users access the System. Traffic Data generally does not identify individual users. Instead, the Traffic Data identifies System users as a whole, including demographic information, preferences in content and advertising, quality of service, and web and application traffic patterns.
AR Powder Coating may, in our sole and absolute discretion, release and disclose the Collected Data to affiliated or contracted persons, associations, service providers, or other entities of whatsoever nature, including, without limitation, strategic alliances and advertising affiliated persons and/or entities (the “Related Parties”) or to any law enforcement agency, court, or other governmental authority to: (a) help us respond to your requests for information, goods or services and/or otherwise fulfill a user’s lawful request; (b) respond or otherwise comply with subpoenas, court orders, or other edicts of the law or legal process; (c) protect and defend our rights and property; or (d) to protect the personal safety of our users, our employees, or the public.
For instance, we may use your Personal Data to: (1) send you information about AR Powder Coating and its products, updates, services, important notices, special offers, and/or upcoming promotions; (2) send you information about the Related Party’s products and services; (3) conduct surveys about your opinion of AR Powder Coating, its staff, performance, products and services or the System; (4) verify your qualifications for certain promotions, special offers, products and services; (5) bill you for any products and services purchased through the System via a credit card, electronic, or other payment; and (6) customize, improve, and/or tailor your experience on the System by displaying content that AR Powder Coating thinks you might be interested in according to your preferences.
Where appropriate, in our sole and absolute discretion, we may provide notice to you. For example, we believe it may be necessary to share information with or without notice in order to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, violations of the website terms of use, or as otherwise required by law.
AR Powder Coating may, in our sole and absolute discretion, release and disclose the Collected Data to any persons, associations, or other entities of whatsoever nature not affiliated with us (the “Non-Affiliates”) for the purpose of facilitating your instructions, requests and/or registrations for products or services provided by us or the Non-Affiliates (including, without limitation, customer support, information technology support, credit card or other electronic payment processing and personal profile services) when the transfer of such Collected Data is necessary to provide you with such products or services. By selecting, instructing, requesting, reserving and/or registering for such products or services from us or the Non-Affiliates on or through the System, you consent to the release of your Collected Data to the Non-Affiliates. We shall use reasonable efforts to provide the Non-Affiliates access only to the Personal Data necessary to assist in responding to your instructions, requests, and/or registrations for such products or services and cause such Non-Affiliates to use your Personal Data for these limited purposes.
AR Powder Coating may also disclose, release, transfer, sell, or otherwise convey any Collected Data to prospective or actual buyers, sellers or persons and/or entities related to such actions by us, including, without limitation, we may transfer information about you if AR Powder Coating is acquired by or merged with, or otherwise sell any portion of AR Powder Coating’s assets or equity to any other company.

AR Powder Coating, through the System, may place small files, called “cookies” onto your computer or electronic device, as well as related files, such as web beacons, pixel tags, or other means. We may use such files or Internet protocol addresses for a number of reasons, such as record keeping purposes when you visit visits, identifying you as a unique user, simplifying the process of recording personal information (such as enabling users to not have to enter names, addresses or passwords repetitively), allowing us to better understand how users use the System and help us tailor the System or marketing message to better match needs and interests.
