Introduction

OctaneX Technologies (also known as Standard Alcohol Company of America, Inc.) is committed to protecting your privacy. This website is a general audience site used primarily for the purpose of providing information about OctaneX.  To the extent we collect personal data, this statement explains the steps we take to protect personal data that may be collected on our website. It describes what categories of personal data we might collect and the purposes for which we might use those data. By accessing our websites, you consent to the data collection and use practices described in this privacy statement.

Data Collection

Data collected directly from visitors. In most instances, you can visit our website without providing any personal data. From time to time, we may ask you for personal data to provide a service or carry out a transaction you request. The personal data that we collect may include:

• contact details, such as your name, title, company/organization name, email address, telephone and fax numbers, and physical address

• information about your company and job position

• your preferences with respect to email marketing

• information such as your nationality and country of residence that allows us to determine your eligibility under export control regulations to receive information about certain technologies

• your inquiries about and orders for our products and services, as well as information that assists us in identifying the best products and services for you

• contest entry and event registration information

• feedback from you about our products and services, including our website

You are not required to provide this information. However, if you choose not to, we may not be able to provide you the requested service or complete your transaction.
Data collected by automated means. We collect certain data about all visitors to our websites, including what pages they view, the number of bytes transferred, the links they click, and other actions taken within our websites. We may also use this information to improve our security measures. We also collect certain standard information that your browser sends to every website you visit, such as your Internet Protocol (IP) address, your browser type and capabilities and language, your operating system, the date and time you access the site, and the website from which you linked to our site.

Cookies and Web Beacons

Cookies are small files that websites save to your hard disk or to your browser's memory. Our websites may use them to track the number of times you have visited the website, to track the number of visitors to the website, to determine and analyze visitors' use of our websites, to store data that you provide (such as your preferences), and to store technical information related to your interactions with our websites.

Our sites also may contain electronic images known as Web beacons—sometimes called single-pixel gifs—that allow us to count the number of users who have visited those pages.

Our Use of Personal Data

If we collect personal data, we will use it only for the purposes set forth below:

·      Services and transactions. We use personal data to deliver services or execute transactions you request, such as providing information about products and services, answering customer service requests, facilitating use of our websites, and so forth.

·      Website improvement. We may use data about you to improve our website (including our security measures) and related products or services.

·      Marketing Communications. With your permission, we may use personal data to inform you of products or services available from OctaneX.

Where we reference that we use your personal information in connection with a request, order, transaction or agreement (or preparing for the same), or to provide you with services that you requested (such as a website), we do this because it is necessary for the performance of an agreement with you. Where we reference that we use your personal information in relation to marketing, improvement or development of our products or services, for reasons of safety and security, or regulatory requirements other than in connection with your agreement or request, we do this on the basis of our or a third party’s legitimate interests, or with your consent.

Except as described below, personal data that you may provide to OctaneX via our website will not be shared outside of OctaneX, its subsidiaries and affiliates without your consent.

·      Disclosure to service providers. OctaneX contracts with other companies to provide services on our behalf, such as hosting websites, sending out information, processing transactions, and analyzing our websites. We provide these companies with only those elements of personal data they need to deliver those services. These companies and their employees are prohibited from using those personal data for any other purposes.

·      Disclosure in connection with transactions. In connection with certain transactions, we may disclose some or all of the personal data you provide to financial institutions, government entities and shipping companies or postal services involved in fulfilling the transaction.

·      Disclosure for other reasons. We may disclose personal data if required to do so by law or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with legal requirements or with legal process served on us, to protect and defend our rights or property, or in urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety of any individual.

International Transfers of Personal Data

We may transfer personal information that we collect through the website to, and store such information in, countries other than the country from which that information was initially collected or the countries from which individual site visitors may access the website. The countries, including the U.S. (and the other countries around the world where our individual subsidiaries, affiliates, suppliers, or business partners maintain facilities), to which we may transfer such information may have different data protection laws than the countries from which the information was initially collected or from which individual site visitors access the website.

By choosing to use the website and to submit personal data to us, you consent to the transfer of such information outside of your country.
