PRIVACY & LEGAL

Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy (Policy) sets forth the RIE Coatings policies regarding the collection and use of information relating to the RIE Coatings web site located at www.riecoatings.com (Site). When we refer to RIE Coatings, we or us, we mean RIE Coatings, including our affiliates and subsidiaries. RIE Coatings reserves the right to limit certain areas of the Site to those persons who register and meet the qualifications imposed by us. This Policy addresses our privacy practices relating to general and registered use of our Site.

Information We Collect and How We Use It

Personally identifiable information (Personal Information) is information that can be used to identify or contact you, such as your name, email address, telephone number or similar information. RIE Coatings only collects Personal Information that you choose to share with us, such as when (1) contacting us via the Site, (2) submitting your resume online in response to a job posting or, (3) upon registration for access to certain areas of our Site.

Any information you provide to RIE Coatings must be true, accurate, current, non-misleading, and consistent and relevant for the purpose for which you are providing the information. If you are a registered user, you must have the authority to provide the information submitted to and through the Site, and understand and agree that we may from time to time verify such authority.

Usage Data

The Site automatically tracks certain information about your behavior while visiting the Site. The information gathered includes only the URL from which you accessed this Site, and which URL you visit next. We collect and store this aggregate information in order to measure the Site's performance and improve the Site's design and functionality. We may also share this aggregate information with third parties to illustrate how the Site is used and for other marketing purposes. If you are a registered user, we may use your Usage Data with or without your Personal Information, in order to measure the Site's performance and improve the Site's design and functionality. We may also share this aggregate information with third parties to illustrate how the Site is used and for other marketing purposes. We may use your Personal Information to improve our marketing efforts, statistically evaluate site usage, improve our Site or customize our Site's content, layout and services.

Use and Disclosure

In addition to the uses described throughout this Policy, and subject to applicable law, we and our Service Providers (as described below) may disclose your Personal Information:

To unaffiliated third parties that are under contract to perform services for or on behalf of RIE Coatings (Service Providers), and are required to uphold and maintain RIE Coatings 's policies with respect to privacy and the treatment of your Personal Information (e.g., vendors maintaining our computer databases or performing marketing activities for RIE Coatings relating solely to services and products provided by RIE Coatings and its affiliates);

To other persons as permitted by applicable law or regulation; and

To law enforcement personnel and agencies, or as part of a legal process, in order to protect our property or in furtherance of an investigation regarding a breach of the Site rules and policies, unauthorized access to or use of the Site or any other illegal activities.

Any access to such information will be limited to the purpose for which such information was provided to our affiliate, subsidiary or Service Provider. Our affiliates, subsidiaries and Service Providers may be located throughout the world. Accordingly, information may be sent worldwide to countries which have a different level of privacy protection than the United States.

Sale or Transfer of Information

In the event of a sale, merger, liquidation, dissolution, or sale or transfer of substantially all of the assets of RIE Coatings, registration data and/or Usage Data collected about you from the Site may be sold, assigned, or transferred to the party acquiring all or substantially all of the equity and/or assets of RIE Coatings in order to permit the party to continue the operation of the Site, including the restricted areas. Subject to your ability to opt-out as described above, by using this Site and submitting your information to us, you consent to the sale and transfer of your information as described in this paragraph.

Security

RIE Coatings takes seriously the security of the information it collects. RIE Coatings has therefore implemented technology and security policies and procedures intended to reduce the risk of accidental destruction or loss, or the unauthorized disclosure or access to, such information, reasonably appropriate to the nature of the data concerned.

Children

Our Site is not generally intended for use by children under the age of 13, and RIE Coatings does not knowingly collect Personal Information from children in this age group. If we become aware that a user under the age of 13 has registered or is attempting to register, we will notify the user that he or she is not eligible for registration. We will then expunge any related Personal Information from our records.
