This privacy policy has been compiled to better serve those who are concerned with how their 'Personally Identifiable Information' (PII) is being used online. PII, as described in US privacy law and information security, is information that can be used on its own or with other information to identify, contact, or locate a single person, or to identify an individual in context. Please read our privacy policy carefully to get a clear understanding of how we collect, use, protect or otherwise handle your Personally Identifiable Information in accordance with our website. Throughout the Privacy Policy, the terms "we," "us," and "our" refer to Stanios Industrial Supply and the terms "you" and "your" refer to any visitor to or use of the Website.

"Personally Identifiable Information," including, but not limited to, your name, e-mail address, postal address, telephone number and billing information, may be collected by us through the Website, subject to the terms of this Privacy Policy, so that we can: (i) contact you to respond to inquiries related to purchasing and returning goods through us and in connection with the processing and completion of purchases and returns; (ii) evaluate your credit history to potentially extend you credit for the purchase of goods through Stanios Industrial Supply; and (iii) communicate with you to provide you with relevant information about Stanios Industrial Supply including special promotions and discounts and newsletters; and (iv) to personalize your purchasing experience and to allow us to deliver the type of content and product offerings in which you are most interested. In all these cases, we will collect Personally Identifiable Information from you only if you voluntarily submit such information to us. Further, we may contact you based on the information you provide.
You have a choice to provide us with any Personally Identifiable Information. By submitting Personally Identifiable Information through the Website, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy, you expressly consent to the processing of your Personally Identifiable Information according to this Privacy Policy, and you agree to the Terms & Conditions.
Of course, you may choose not to provide certain information to us, but if so, you may not be able to participate in certain activities and transactions available at the Website.
Additionally, please note that parts of the Website are hosted by BigCommerce. BigCommerce automatically collects customer order information, sales information, and clickstream data in the aggregate (ie. in a form that is not individually attributable to you) for research, marketing, and other promotional purposes. When you access the Website through BigCommerce Shopping, BigCommerce also automatically collects information about your shopping experience.

Security of Information
To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the correct use of Personally Identifiable Information, we have put in place reasonable physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the Personally Identifiable Information we collect online, and we make good faith efforts to store your Personally Identifiable Information in a secure operating environment. Our Website has been validated to have a secure SSL certificate which provides industry standard data encryption of information transferred from your computer to the website for safe and secure online purchasing.
You must also seek to protect against unauthorized access to any information that you use in connection with this Website, and you should remember to close the browser once you have completed your activities on the Website or if you have decided to step away from your computer. In the event that we determine that there has been a security breach resulting in the unauthorized disclosure of Personally Identifiable Information to a third party, we will notify individuals whose Personally Identifiable Information has been so disclosed as required by law.
Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be absolutely secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your Personally Identifiable Information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk.
Sharing Information with Our Service Providers
We may employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. Examples include order fulfillment, package delivery, postal mail and email communications, customer lists management, data analysis, marketing services and assistance which may include content and ads presented on other websites or mobile applications, credit card processing, and customer relationship management (CRM). These companies and individuals have access to personal information needed to perform their functions, but they are not permitted to use such information for other purposes without our permission.
Sharing and Use of Information
Except as provided in this Privacy Policy, or as otherwise permitted or required under law, we reasonably attempt to ensure that we do not intentionally disclose any Personally Identifiable Information about you as an individual user to any third party without having first received your permission (through your opting in or otherwise agreeing to the disclosure of such information).
We will release information, which may include Personally Identifiable Information, as required by law to comply with any valid legal inquiry or process such as a search warrant, subpoena, statute or court order. We will also release specific information, which may include Personally Identifiable Information, in special cases, such as if there is an attempted breach of the security of the Website or a physical or property threat to you or others. We may also transfer user information, including Personally Identifiable Information, in connection with a corporate merger, consolidation, the sale of related assets or corporate division or other fundamental corporate change. We may provide access to your Personally Identifiable Information and other information to our contractors who are performing services for us in connection with our Website or the services that you have requested.
We may collect Personally Identifiable Information from you in connection with optional contests, special offers or promotions. We will share such information with necessary third parties for the purpose of carrying out the contest, special offer or promotion. Your participation in the contest, special offer or promotion constitutes your consent to such disclosure and use of such Personally Identifiable Information.

Cookies and Other Technologies
The website may use "cookies" and/or other technologies or files (collectively, "cookies") to identify how visitors make use of this Website. This aggregate tracking information may be used to help us improve and enhance the website experience for all our visitors. If you would prefer not to have such cookies stored on your computer, you may modify your browser settings to reject most cookies, or manually remove cookies that have been placed on your computer. However, by so rejecting the cookies, you may be unable to fully access the offerings on this Website.
We may also collect information through the use of clear gifs (also called Web Beacons and Web Bugs) in selected e-mail messages we send to you. These are tiny graphic files, not visible to the human eye, that are included in HTML-based e-mails and used to let us know which e-mails we send are opened. Clear gifs may also see or read cookies on your computer. When authorized by us, third parties specializing in monitoring aggregate statistical use of the Website with whom we contract, may use cookies, our web log files, web beacons, and other monitoring technologies to compile anonymous aggregate data.
Additionally, we may use IP address information to count and track aggregate visits to the Website, to help diagnose problems with our server, and to administer the Website. We do not link IP addresses to anything personally identifiable, so while a particular user's session can be tracked, the user remains completely anonymous.
Third-Party Links
Occasionally, at our discretion, we may include or offer third-party products or services on our website. These third-party sites have separate and independent privacy policies. We therefore have no responsibility or liability for the content and activities of these linked sites.
