Overview and Scope
We at The ChemQuest Group, Inc. and our affiliated entities (the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) recognize the importance of protecting the privacy of personally identifiable information (“Personal Information” or “PII”) collected about you and other users (collectively, “Users”) of our Service (as defined below). We are committed to ensuring that your privacy is protected. To that end, this Privacy Policy (“Policy”) discloses our practices regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of the PII we receive through Users’ use of the Service. Unless otherwise expressly agreed to in writing, your Personal Information will be processed according to the terms of this Policy. By using the Service, you accept the terms of this Policy.
“Service” means our website, https://chemquest.com/ and its subdomains, our web applications, software as a service applications, and all of the websites and internet properties owned or operated by us, regardless of the medium by which it is accessed by Users (e.g., via a web or mobile browser).
Information We Collect
We are the sole owner of information collected using the Service. We collect several types of information from and about Users of the Service, including:
Personal Information: We may collect PII from you when you complete forms, navigate web pages, and in connection with other activities, services, features, or resources we make available through the Service. PII means any information that is linked or reasonably linkable to an identified or identifiable natural person. PII does not include publicly available information from government records, deidentified or aggregate information, or information excluded from the scope of applicable laws.
The types of PII we may collect, use, store, and disclose include the following categories of information:
| Category | Type of Information |

We may use one or more third-party tracking services to track anonymized and/or non-personally identifiable information in the aggregate about Users. These third-party services may use JavaScript, pixels, transparent GIF files and other means to enable us to learn which advertisements bring Users to our Service. Any information we track in this manner is anonymous, limited to usage and volume statistics, and is used to provide insight into the effectiveness of our online marketing initiatives and strategies.
We also reserve the right to provide anonymized data to third parties for the purpose of evaluating the performance of our Service, or as part of a sales transaction.
Children’s Information: We do not offer our services or promote the Service to, nor do we intentionally collect or retain PII from, children who are younger than 18 years of age. If we discover that we have inadvertently collected information from a child under 18 years of age, we will promptly take all reasonable measures to delete such information from our systems.
How We Collect Information
The information we collect depends on what Users do when they visit or utilize the Service. We collect PII and Deidentified Information in various ways, including:
Directly from You: We collect PII when you voluntarily submit PII to us while completing forms through the Service, contracting with us to use the Service, or in connection with other activities, services, features, or resources we make available through the Service. The PII we collect depends on what you do when you visit or utilize the Service, what you choose to give to use, or how you choose to communicate with us.
Through Your Use of the Service: We may collect PII and Deidentified Information that your browser transmits when you visit the Service. We may also collect Deidentified Information about how you access and interact with the Service through the use of automated tracking technologies, such as session cookies, persistent cookies, and web beacons.
A cookie is a small data file that is transferred to an internet browser, which enables the Service to remember and customize your subsequent visits. Session cookies expire when you close your browser. We may also use persistent cookies to track and target your interests to enhance your experience on the Service. Persistent cookies remain on your device for an extended period of time.
Most internet browsers automatically accept cookies. However, you can instruct your internet browser to block cookies or to provide you with a warning prompt before you accept cookies from the Service. Please refer to your internet browser’s instructions to learn more about these functions. If you reject cookies, the functionality of the Service may be limited and you may not be able to participate in several of the Service’s features.
Additionally, we may use web beacons, which are single-pixel, electronic images embedded in the Service that allow us to gather information about your browsing activities on the Service.
From Third Party Services: We may collect PII about you from third parties whose privacy practices may differ from the practices described in this Policy. We do not make any representations or warranties concerning, and will not in any way be liable for, any informational content, products, services, software, or other materials available through third parties. Your use of third parties’ services and/or third party websites is governed by and subject to the terms and conditions of those third parties and/or third party websites. We encourage you to carefully review the privacy policies and statements of such third parties and/or third party websites.

We may use Users’ PII for lawful business purposes to help enhance Users’ experience. These purposes include:

Customer Service and User Communications: We may use your PII to help us respond to your inquiries, questions, requests, and support needs more efficiently.

This will help us optimize your experience with the Service.
Business Optimization: We may use your PII and/or Deidentified Information to improve the content on our web pages, to customize the content and layout of our web pages, and in managing our everyday business needs.

We will not collect additional categories of PII or use PII we collected for materially different, unrelated, or incompatible purposes without providing you notice.

Sale or Acquisition of Assets: If we become involved in a transaction involving the sale of our assets, such as a merger or acquisition, or if we are transferred to another company, we may disclose and/or transfer your PII as part of the transaction. If the surviving entity in that transaction is not us, the surviving company may use your PII pursuant to its own privacy policies, and those policies may be different from this Policy.
Security
The security and confidentiality of your PII is very important to us. We use commercially reasonable security measures to protect your PII on the Service. However, no data transmitted over or accessible through the internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we attempt to protect your PII, we cannot guarantee or warrant that your PII will be completely secure (i) from misappropriation by hackers or from other nefarious or criminal activities, or (ii) in the event of a failure of computer hardware, software, or a telecommunications networks.
California Privacy Rights
California’s “Shine the Light” law permits Users of the Service that are California residents to request certain information regarding our disclosure of PII to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. To make such a request, please contact us at the Contact Information provided below.
Data Retention
We will retain Users’ PII while they maintain an account with us or to the extent necessary to provide the services through the Service. Thereafter, we will keep PII for as long as necessary: (i) to respond to any queries from Users; (ii) to demonstrate we treated Users fairly; (iii) for ordinary business continuity procedures; or (iv) to comply with any applicable laws. We delete PII within a reasonable period after we no longer need the information for the purposes set out in this Policy.
Do Not Track Disclosure
Some internet browsers may transmit “do-not-track” signals to websites with which the browser communicates. The Service does not currently respond to these “do-not-track” signals.
SPAM
We do not participate in bulk email solicitations that you have not consented to receiving (i.e., “Spam”). We do not sell or disclose customer lists or email address lists to unrelated third parties. Except as otherwise provided herein, we do not share PII with any third party advertisers.
Third Party Links
The Service may contain links to other websites or applications (“Linked Sites”) that are not owned by us. We do not control the collection or use of any information, including PII, which occurs while you visit Linked Sites. Therefore, we make no representations or warranties for—and will not in any way be liable for—any content, products, services, software, or other materials available on Linked Sites, even if one or more pages of the Linked Sites are framed within a page of the Service.
Furthermore, we make no representations or warranties about the privacy policies or practices of the Linked Sites, and we are not responsible for the privacy practices of those Linked Sites. We encourage you to be aware when you leave the Service and read the privacy policies of Linked Sites.
