The Information We Collect
Vac-Tech may collect personally identifiable information (including demographic and biographic information, business affiliations, and survey responses) from Users in a variety of ways, including through online forms for ordering products and services, and other instances where Users are invited to volunteer such information. Information gathered from each of the Websites will be combined and stored in a single central source. Vac-Tech may also collect information about how Users use our Websites, for example, by tracking the number of unique views received by the pages of the Websites, or the domains from which Users originate. We may use “cookies” to track how Users use our Websites. A cookie is a piece of software that a Web server can store on the Users’ PC and use to identify the User should they visit the web site again. While not all of the information that we collect from Users is personally identifiable, it may be associated with personally identifiable information that Users provide us through our Websites. We currently use third party ad software to serve ads on our site. The cookies received with banner ads served by this software is used to collect and build anonymous behavioral profiles by these companies to deliver targeted ads and tracking referrals.

Vac-Tech may also use information collected through our Websites for research regarding the effectiveness of the Websites and the marketing, advertising and sales efforts of Vac-Tech, its trusted affiliates, independent contractors and business partners.
Disclosure of Information
Vac-Tech may disclose information collected from Users to trusted affiliates, independent contractors and business partners who will use the information for the purposes outlined above. We may also disclose aggregate, anonymous data based on information collected from Users to investors and potential partners. Finally, we may transfer information collected from Users in connection with a sale of Vac-Tech’s business.
Vac-Tech also reserves the right to disclose information if: (1) the disclosure is necessary or useful to our provision of services; (2) we believe in good faith the disclosure is required by law (such as a search warrant, subpoena or court order); (3) we believe in good faith the disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, interests, or property; or (4) we are acting in good faith to protect an individual’s personal safety.
Maintenance of Information
We utilize industry standard information technology security to keep Users’ information secure. We also attempt to have privacy protection controls in place with our vendors in order to ensure that Users’ personal information is protected from unauthorized access or disclosure. All of our employees must abide by our Privacy Policy. Only authorized employees are permitted to access Users’ personally identifiable information. If an employee violates our privacy policies, he or she will be subject to our disciplinary action, up to and including termination. Nevertheless, Vac-Tech cannot guarantee that Users’ information will be completely secure.
