International Technologies, Inc. (“IT”) values your privacy. We make every effort to ensure the security of any information you provide when you visit https://international-technologies.com.

Our privacy policy explains what information we collect, what we do with that information, and how you can retrieve, change, or delete any information that we store.

1. What information do we collect?
We collect two types of information about our website visitors. The first is non-personally identifiable information and the second is personally identifiable information.

a. Non-personally identifiable information
When you visit international-technologies.com certain non-personally identifiable information is collected and stored on our website’s server logs. This information includes your IP address, general geographic location, browser type, and date and time of the visit. It may be used for analytics or security purposes but does not reveal your identity or the details of your location.

b. Personally identifiable information
Personally identifiable information is voluntarily provided by you and may include your name, email address, company name, company address, telephone number, machine make, model, and serial number and the details of your request to IT.
We use this personal information provided by you for purposes of providing a service or answering a request. The information is stored on our servers and accessed by IT personnel so we can best respond to your needs. Your contact information will be added to our customer database and may be used at a future time for purposes of follow-up or to send you IT product promotions. This information is not shared with any third party and is not used in any other way except as described below.

2. Who we share your information with
As part of our Terms and Conditions of Service you acknowledge that we are a distributor of machine tools manufactured by other companies. We rely on these companies to provide expert information about the applicability of customer applications for a particular purpose.
If you fill out a request form on our website or email us directly with a request for information we may need to share that information with our vendors. For example, requests for ACF cornerformer quotes must be approved by the ACF factory for suitability prior to issuing a quotation.
You have the right to refuse to have your information shared when you fill out our request form, but in some circumstances this will prevent us from issuing a quotation or fulfilling your request.
