We are committed to protecting the privacy and security of your personal information. We take your privacy very seriously. In this privacy policy, we seek to explain to you what information we collect, how we use it, and what rights you have to it. If there are any terms in this privacy policy that you do not agree with, please discontinue the use of our Site and services.

This privacy policy applies to all information collected through our websites (such as fairfieldgeo.com) or through any related services, sales, marketing, or events (we refer to them collectively in this privacy policy as the "Services").

Please read this privacy policy carefully as it will help you make informed decisions about sharing your personal information with us.

*Information you voluntarily provide to us, as well as personal information you provide through the Contact Us page which includes; your name, phone number, email address, and other contact and personal information.

*Information we collect automatically, such as usage of the site when you visit this site through cookies and server logs which can include your IP address, browser, and other similar data.

While performing the Services we may collect several types of information:

*Information regarding your name, position, company name, email address, phone number for sales, and marketing activities to foster business opportunities, and

*Information to carry out our obligations defined by contracts with our vendors and suppliers which can include your name, business name, business address, position information, and other similar data.

How will your information be shared?

We only share information with your consent, to comply with laws, to provide you with Services, to protect your rights, or to fulfill business obligations.

We may process or share data based on the following legal basis:

*Consent: We may process your data if you have given us specific consent to use your personal information for a particular purpose.

*Legitimate Interests: We may process your data when it is reasonably necessary to achieve our legitimate business interests.

*Performance of a Contract: Where we have entered into a contract with you, we may process your personal information to fulfill the terms of our agreement.

*Legal Obligations: We may disclose your information where we are legally required to do so to comply with applicable law, governmental requests, a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process, such as in response to a court order or a subpoena (including in response to public authorities to meet national security or law enforcement requirements).

*Vital Interests: We may disclose your information where we believe it is necessary to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding potential violations of our policies, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the safety of any person and illegal activities, or as evidence in litigation in which we are involved.

More specifically, we may need to process your data or share your personal information in the following situations:

*Vendors, Consultants, and Other Third-Party Service Providers. We may share your data with third-party vendors, service providers, contractors, or agents who perform services for us or on our behalf and require access to such information to do that work. Examples include payment processing, email delivery, hosting services, and marketing efforts. Unless described in this Policy, we do not share, sell, rent, or trade any of your information with third parties for their promotional purposes.

*Business Transfers. We may share or transfer your information in connection with, or during negotiations of, any merger, sale of company assets, financing, or acquisition of all or a portion of our business to another company.

We do not sell your personal information.

Do we use cookies and other tracking technologies?

We use cookies to access or store information. Specific information about how we use such technologies is set out in our Cookie Policy.

How long do we keep your information?

We will only keep your personal information for as long as it is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy unless a more extended retention period is required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting, or other legal requirements).

When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize it, or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal data has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

How do we keep your information secure?

We have implemented technical and organizational security measures that are designed to protect the security of any personal information we process. However, please also remember that we cannot guarantee that the internet itself is 100% secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, the transmission of personal information to and from our websites or in connection with providing our Services is at your own risk. You should only access the websites and our Services within a secure environment.

Do we collect information from minors?

We do not knowingly solicit data from or market to children under 18 years of age. By using the Services, you represent that you are at least 18 or that you are the parent or guardian of such a minor and consent to such minor dependent’s use of the Services. If we learn that personal information from users less than 18 years of age has been collected, we will deactivate the account and take reasonable measures to delete such data from our records promptly. If you become aware of any data we have collected from children under age 18, please contact us at privacy@fairfieldgeo.com.

What are your privacy rights?

If you are a resident in the European Economic Area, and you believe we are unlawfully processing your personal information, you also have the right to complain to your local data protection supervisory authority. You can find their contact details here: http://ec.europa.eu/justice/data-protection/bodies/authorities/index_en.htm.

Data Incidents

A privacy incident occurs when there is unauthorized access to or collection, use, disclosure, or disposal of personal information. You will be notified about data breaches when Fairfield Geotechnologies believes you are likely to be at risk or serious harm or we are otherwise required to do so by applicable law. For example, a data incident may be likely to result in unauthorized access to your financial information that could cause you harm. If Fairfield Geotechnologies becomes aware of a security incident that will result in unauthorized access, use or disclosure of personal information Fairfield Geotechnologies will promptly investigate the matter and notify you and, where appropriate, government agencies as and to the extent required by applicable law.

Controls for do-not-track features

Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems and mobile applications include a Do-Not-Track (“DNT”) feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. No uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been finalized. As such, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future, we will inform you about that practice in a revised version of this privacy policy.

Do California residents have specific privacy rights?

California Civil Code Section 1798.83, also known as the “Shine The Light” law, permits our users who are California residents to request and obtain from us, once a year and free of charge, information about categories of personal information (if any) we disclosed to third parties for direct marketing purposes and the names and addresses of all third parties with which we shared personal information in the immediately preceding calendar year. If you are a California resident and would like to make such a request, please submit your request in writing to us using the contact information provided below.

In addition, pursuant to the California Consumer Privacy Act, upon verifiable written request, we will provide to you information regarding the personal information we gather about you, the types of sources from which we obtain the information, the purposes for which the information is gathered, and the types of third parties with which we share or to whom (if any) we sell the information. In addition, upon verifiable request or when required or otherwise appropriate, and within periods (if any) set by applicable law, we will grant you reasonable access to the personally identifiable information that we hold about you provided that you establish to our reasonable satisfaction that you are the person whose personal information is requested. We may deny such access where the denial is permitted by applicable law and every request from an individual will be assessed on a case by case basis. In the event a request is denied, we will notify you regarding the reasons for the denial in writing. Consistent with how your personally identifiable information is maintained in the ordinary course of our business, we will provide the information in an understandable form, and to the extent feasible in a format that permits you to use the information on other systems. We may impose a reasonable charge when a request is made (e.g., for photocopying or postage) to the extent permitted under applicable law. In addition, we will take reasonable steps to permit you to correct or amend personally identifiable information that is demonstrated to be inaccurate or incomplete. We also will delete personal information we have gathered about you when you make a verifiable request that we do so, except to the extent applicable law permits or requires us to maintain that information. To guard against fraudulent requests for access, we will require sufficient information to allow us to confirm the identity of the individual making the request before granting access or deleting the information. We will not discriminate against consumers who exercise their rights under California law. However, we may charge different prices or provide a different quality of goods or services if the difference is reasonably related to the value provided by your personal information and may offer financial incentives to an individual for the collection, sale, or deletion of personal information if the individual provides its prior consent to the terms of those incentives.

If you are a California resident and you wish to obtain access to or correct, or to direct us to delete, your personal information, you may submit a request by email to privacy@fairfieldgeo.com.

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. An updated “Revised” date will indicate the updated version and the updated version will be valid as soon as it is posted to our Site. We encourage you to review this privacy policy frequently to be informed of how we are protecting your information and for any updates posted.
