Cactus Containers' Privacy Policy

In general, Cactus Containers does not collect, store, use or disclose personally identifying information except in very specific instances, such as, for example, when you submit an online quote form or employment form, as defined below. Whenever we collect such information, you will have a choice regarding how it will be used and to whom it will be disclosed. The instances in which Cactus Containers does collect and use information are specifically described in this Privacy Policy. Cactus Containers provides fun, easy to use services, including online quote forms (located at www.cactuscontainers.com).
Cactus Containers values its users and their concerns about privacy. To this end, Cactus Containers engages in consistent information practices and uses its best efforts to make clear disclosures regarding those practices. This Privacy Policy is a part of that effort.

What does this Privacy Policy cover?
This Privacy Policy applies to collection, use, storage and disclosure of information by Cactus Containers. If there are any exceptions, we will clearly disclose them prior to collecting any information, and will give you an opportunity to choose not to participate or provide the information. By using our Web site, you consent to the collection and use of your information as we outline in this Privacy Policy. Cactus Containers may decide to change this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will post any changes here so that you are always be informed of the information we collect, how we use it, and the circumstances under which we disclose it. Please be aware that Cactus Containers provides links to Web sites operated by third parties, and is not responsible for the information collection or privacy practices or the content of those third party Web sites or applications. Cactus Containers does not determine which information will be collected by that third party.

What information does Cactus Containers collect and how is it used? Does Cactus Containers disclose information to third parties?
Cactus Containers may collect any or all of the following four types of information: (a) traffic or clickstream data, (b) cookies, (c) pixel tags or (d) contact information and other personally identifying information. Cactus Containers’ collection and use of each type of data is described below.

(a) Traffic or Clickstream Data.
Data about traffic and usage is not personally identifying or identifiable, and is not supplemented or combined with personally identifying or identifiable information. Cactus Containers may share information it collects with certain selected third parties, but only in aggregated, anonymous form. For example, we may tell an advertiser that a certain number of people visited a certain area on our Web site, or searched Web sites for the term “ballot boxes.” Cactus Containers collects some information regarding use of the Web site by observing browser functions and the files (pages) users access. For example, Cactus Containers’ servers collect information about the site from which you entered to enable Cactus Containers to calculate information about the most frequently searched terms to help us advertise, provide the most relevant search keywords and information about usage to check for fraudulent behavior or other abnormalities and to ensure that our web site is technically superior. In addition to the foregoing applications, Cactus Containers uses the information (in aggregate form) to better design the Web site.

(b) Cookies.
Like many sites, Cactus Containers collects information about online behavior using cookies. These cookies contain identification information that enables us to see how our users are interacting with our site and how frequently they are returning, as well as to streamline their experiences using the Web site. Our cookies do not contain any personally identifiable information. Cookies let us know about repeat visitors and if we are delivering quality products and services. Cactus Containers may also use cookies to identify which sites our repeat visitors are coming from, so that we can place more of our online advertising on these sites, and can, where necessary, pay our affiliates and other business partners. To Cactus Containers, using information within cookies is an anonymous way to survey how we are doing and to look for ways to improve our Web site. You may set your browser software to reject cookies, but you may not be able to use all of the features of the Web site. Cactus Containers may share information about usage of the Web site with third parties, but only in aggregated, anonymous form.

(c) Pixel Tags.
Cactus Containers shares web site usage information about visitors to our web site with a reputable third-party advertising company for the purpose of targeting our Internet search engine advertisements on this site and other sites. For this purpose, Cactus Containers and our third-party advertising company note some of the pages you visit on our Web site through the use of pixel tags (also called clear gifs). The information collected by Cactus Containers and our third-party advertising company through the use of these pixel tags is not personally identifiable.

(d) Contact Information or Personally Identifying Information.
Cactus Containers can obtain access to your name, e-mail address and other contact information only (1) when you submit a problem, or request information from Cactus Containers and provide your name or return contact information, or (2) in connection with special offers or contests. Contact information provided in connection with problems, comments or requests is used only to respond to those problems, comments or requests. This information is not stored or used in connection with traffic or clickstream data and is provided to a third party only as necessary to respond to the comment, problem or request. Finally, you may choose to provide contact information, other personally identifying information, and demographic information in order to participate in optional surveys or contests, which are run for promotional purposes. Cactus Containers uses such information to send you information about its products and to notify you if you win the contest. Finally, from time to time, but only with your permission, Cactus Containers may provide certain of its users’ registration information to selected third parties who wish to participate in special promotions offered in conjunction with Cactus Containers. Users may opt-out of receiving such communications at any time by contacting Cactus Containers.

Is data stored by Cactus Containers secure?
To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the appropriate use of information, Cactus Containers has put in place physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information it collects online. However, data security is a constantly evolving art and science. You should consider any communication that you transmit to Cactus Containers (such as data, questions or answers, comments, or suggestions) as non-confidential, and agree that Cactus Containers will not be liable or responsible if information that belongs to you is intercepted and used by an unintended recipient.

Does Cactus Containers collect personally identifying information from or about children?
Cactus Containers uses reasonable efforts not to collect, use or disclose individually identifiable information from children under the age of 13. The Web site is not targeted at children, and children may not register for any portions of the Web site that require registration. Please check with those sites to determine their privacy policy.

How can I access or correct any personally identifying information about me?
To request a copy of the personally identifiable information you have sent to Cactus Containers, please send an e-mail containing your request to privacy@cactuscontainers.com. You must provide your full name and the e-mail from which the request is received (and to which the response will be sent) must match the e-mail on file with Cactus Containers.
