Privacy policy

We have established this Privacy Policy to explain how it protects and manages the personal information that it collects from you (the customer) online.

1. Consent for Collection, Use and Disclosure

Your use of the Clute Packaging Systems (CPS) site and/or your registration for CPS services constitute your consent to the terms of this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy, please do not use the CPS site.

CPS may occasionally update this Privacy Policy. When it does, CPS will include a "last update" date at the top of this Privacy Policy. In addition, CPS will seek a customer's prior consent, by email, for any new uses or proposed disclosures of information collected from the customer prior to the change. CPS will notify customers by email of changes to this policy that will affect information collected from them in the future.

2. Accountability

CPS collects, at the time of your registration and your sign-on to its web site, certain "personal information" (information that personally identifies you) including but not limited to your name, email address, work address, telephone number and web site addresses.

CPS has implemented this Privacy Policy to protect personal information received from its customers, and to respond to any inquiries. The Privacy Policy also provides that CPS will use appropriate contractual means to establish a comparable level of protection for personal information, which is sent for processing by third parties on CPS's behalf.

3. Purposes for Collecting Personal Information

CPS collects and uses personal information for the following identified Purposes:

1. to understand customer needs regarding CPS's services;
2. to develop and provide our web site and our products and services for our customers;
3. to fulfill your requests for products, services or information;
4. to communicate with customers and site visitors, when necessary, and to inform customers of upgrades, as well as of other products and services available from CPS, its affiliates and third parties;
5. to allow customers to access limited-entry areas of CPS's site;
6. to personalize some of our services and products for you and to deliver targeted advertisements and offers from CPS;
7. to protect the services, products or rights of CPS, including but not limited to the security or integrity of the CPS site; and
8. to identify and resolve technical problems concerning CPS's site, and services.

CPS also uses personal information in an aggregate form (i.e. not individually attributable to you) for its business analysis, operational, marketing and other promotional purposes.

If we hire other companies to provide some products or services on our behalf, then we will only provide those companies the personal information they need for the Identified Purposes, and we will limit their rights to use and further disclose your personal information as appropriate in the course of their work for us.

4. Limiting the Collection of Personal Information

CPS limits its collection of personal information to only that information which is necessary for the Identified Purposes. CPS does not direct its site to, nor does it knowingly collect any personal information from children under the age of thirteen.

5. Disclosure, Processing and Retention

CPS does not sell, rent or disclose your personal information to anyone else, except to someone we have designated to act as an agent on our behalf.

6. Accuracy of Personal Information

CPS will use reasonable efforts to keep customer personal information accurate for the Identified Purposes, and for minimizing the possibility of making inappropriate customer decisions based on such information. Customers are responsible for informing CPS about changes to their personal information.

7. Security Safeguards

CPS will use reasonable efforts to protect customers' personal information.
