This privacy policy (this “Privacy Policy”) sets forth Cope Plastics’ privacy practices for our applications (“Apps”), software, the website located at https://www.copeplastics.com/ (together with all information, pages and subpages hosted thereunder, the “Website”), APIs, and services (collectively, the “Services”), and describes the practices that the Company will follow with respect to the privacy of users of this Services.

This policy applies to information we collect:

through our Apps, which provide dedicated non-browser-based interaction between you and the Company; and
in email, text, and other electronic messages between you and the Company, including through the Services.

It does not apply to information collected by:

us offline or through any other means; or
any third party, including through any application or content (including advertising) that may link to or be accessible from or on the Services.

Please read this policy carefully to understand our policies and practices regarding your information and how we will treat it. If you do not agree with our policies and practices, your choice is not to use our Services. By accessing or using this Services, you agree to this privacy policy. This policy may change from time to time (see Changes to Our Privacy Policy, below). Your continued use of the Services after we make changes is deemed to be acceptance of those changes, so please check the policy periodically for updates.

What is Personal Information?

“Personal Information” is information by which you may be personally identified, such as your name, unique user name, e-mail address, mailing address, telephone number, other contact and demographic information, password, phone number, and payment information.

How is information collected?

The information we collect on or through our Services includes information (including Personal Information) provided by you directly, such as information that you provide by filling in forms on our Services, information requested from you when you report a problem with our Services, and records and copies of your correspondence (including email addresses), if you contact us. We may request that you voluntarily supply us with information, including Personal Information, so that we may enhance your visit or follow up with you after your visit. Whether you provide any information is entirely up to you.

Additionally, when you use the Services, we may automatically collect certain information, such as your device type and Internet Protocol address, your operating system, the browser type, the address of a referring web site, your activity on the Services, device ID for your mobile device, and information about your use and activity through the Services collected through cookies, web beacons, and other tracking technologies. The information we collect automatically is statistical data and does not include Personal Information, but we may maintain it or associate it with Personal Information we collect in other ways or receive from third parties. It helps us to improve our Services and to deliver a better and more personalized service. We treat this information as Personal Information only if we combine it with or link it to any of the Personal Information mentioned above. Otherwise, it is used in the aggregate only.

Some web browsers may transmit “do not track” signals. Web browsers may incorporate or activate these features differently, making it unclear if users have consciously activated them. As a result, at this time we do not take steps to respond to such signals.

What are cookies and web beacons and how are they used?

The Services, like many other commercial web sites, may utilize a standard technology called “cookies” to collect information about how our site is used. Cookies were designed to help a web site operator determine that a particular user had visited the site previously and thus save and remember any preferences that may have been set while the user was browsing the site. Cookies are small strings of text that web sites can send to your browser. Cookies cannot retrieve any other data from your hard drive or obtain your e-mail address. If you are simply browsing one of our information sites, a cookie may be used to identify your browser as one that has visited the site before. We may also make use of memory-based cookies in support of authenticating the user of certain of our web applications.

Pages of our the Website and our other Services may also contain small electronic files known as web beacons (also referred to as clear gifs, pixel tags, and single-pixel gifs) that permit the Company, for example, to count users who have visited those pages or opened an email and for other related statistics (for example, recording the popularity of certain content and verifying system and server integrity).

What are your choices regarding collection, use, and distribution of your information?

If you have voluntarily provided Personal Information, we may, from time to time, send you mail or e-mail regarding products and services. If you wish to not receive further communications from the Company, please contact us at corp-web@copeplastics.com to be removed from our database.

How does Cope Plastics protect your information?

We exercise great care to protect your Personal Information. This protection includes, among other things, using industry standard techniques such as firewalls, encryption, intrusion detection and site monitoring. The safety and security of your information also depends on you. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password for access to certain parts of our Services, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone. We urge you to be careful about giving out information in public areas of the Services like message boards. The information you share in public areas may be viewed by any user of the Services.

Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your Personal Information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or receive from us. This fact is especially true for information you transmit to us via e-mail. We have no way of protecting that information until it reaches us. Any transmission of Personal Information is at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the Services. Once we receive your transmission, we make our best effort to ensure its security on our servers.

Internally, we will restrict access to your Personal Information to employees who need access to the information in order to do their jobs. These employees are committed to our privacy policies.

We will review our security arrangements from time to time as we deem appropriate.

The Services are not intended for children under 13 years of age. No one under age 13 may provide any Personal Information to or through the Services.

If we learn we have collected or received Personal Information from a child under 13 without verification of parental consent, we will delete that information. If you believe we might have any information from or about a child under 13, please contact us at corp-web@copeplastics.com.

Other sites

The Services may contain links to other sites, including those of our business partners. While we seek to link only to sites that share our high standards and respect for privacy, we are not responsible for the content or privacy and security practices and policies of these websites or any other sites that are linked to from the Services, or any damage to, or viruses that may infect your computer equipment or other property, or for any loss or corruption of data resulting from any third party website navigated to or accessed from links hosted on or contained in the Service.. If you decide to access any website linked to in the Services, you do so entirely at your own risk. We do not guarantee that you will receive an alert when you leave the Services, and it is your responsibility to determine when you have left the Services. Any Personal Information you provide on linked pages or applications is provided directly to that third party and is subject to that third party’s privacy policy. We encourage you to learn about their privacy and security practices and policies before providing them with Personal Information.

If you choose to connect your account on our Services to your account on another service, we may receive information from the other service. You may also choose to grant us access to your data from another service. You can stop sharing the information from the other service with us by removing our access to that other service.

We do not control these third parties’ tracking technologies or how they may be used. If you have any questions about any third party’s policies or procedures, you should contact the responsible provider directly.
