Privacy policy

GSDI respects the privacy of visitors to its website and is committed to maintaining all reasonable precautions to assure the privacy and security of this website. This Privacy Policy and Notice of Information Practices set forth GSDI's practices regarding the collection, use and disclosure of information that the user may provide through this site. Please read this entire privacy policy before using this site or submitting information to GSDI through this site.

By using this site and whenever the user submits information through this site to GSDI, the user agrees with the terms of GSDI's Privacy Policy and Notice of Information Practices below.

Information Practices

Generally, the user may visit the GSDI website without telling any information about himself, including his email address. GSDI's web servers may collect the name of the domain that has been used to access the Internet and the websites that have been visited directly before and after visiting the GSDI website. If GSDI collects this information, GSDI aggregates it to learn measurements such as the most popular pages viewed at the GSDI website, the average number of visits to the website, and the average time spent at the site.

In order to visit some areas of the GSDI website or to receive some services, GSDI may ask the user to register at the GSDI site or to otherwise provide information about himself or his company in order to better serve the user. This information may include information about the user and his company such as his name, title, company, address, telephone number, email address, interests and other similar types of information. GSDI stores this information and uses it for these general purposes: to fulfill the user's requests for products and services, to improve GSDI services, to contact the user, and to conduct research.

In addition, certain on-line technical applications require the entry of technical data such as product formulations or properties. GSDI does not monitor nor save such information to storage devices unless the application provides for the storage of such information as a service to you. In that case, such information will not be accessed or viewed by GSDI personnel except for those activities required for the maintenance and upkeep of the GSDI website. GSDI will take all reasonable precautions to assure that no such information will be provided or divulged to other third party personnel.

GSDI may also make use of website "cookies" to help the user use our services more easily and to help GSDI to continuously improve its website and its service to the user. A "cookie" is a small data file that a website can send to the user's browser, which may then be stored on the user's hard drive to help the GSDI website "remember" information about the user when he returns to our website, such as the user's preferences for the GSDI website or account id's. GSDI's cookies cannot read data off of the user's hard drive, read cookie files created by other websites or track any personal information about the user. The user may be able to set his browser to notify you when he receives a cookie.

The GSDI website may contain "links" to other sites, and GSDI cannot and is not responsible for maintaining the user's privacy once he leaves the GSDI site. GSDI attempts to only link to sites that share GSDI's high standards and respect for privacy.

Security

GSDI takes reasonable precautions to keep all information obtained from its online visitors secure against unauthorized access and use and GSDI will periodically review its security measures in an effort to ensure the user's privacy. GSDI will not, without the user's permission, give, sell or provide to others for a fee any information that the user provides to us, except as set forth herein. GSDI will always ask for and obtain the user's permission before sharing the user information with anyone other than GSDI subsidiaries and affiliates, unless GSDI believes in good faith that the law requires our Company to do so.

If the user wishes to verify any voluntary information collected about him, or if he wish to be removed from the GSDI site database, he can contact GSDI at northamerica@gsdi.com
