Applied Extracts, Inc. ("Applied Extracts," "we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit www.appliedextracts.com (the "Site") or contact us through the Site, how we use it, and the choices you have.

1. Information We Collect

Information you provide. When you submit our contact form, we collect the information you provide: your name, email address, phone number (if provided), and the contents of your message. We use this information solely to respond to your inquiry and to follow up about products, services, or projects you ask about.

Information collected automatically. When you visit the Site, our hosting provider (Cloudflare) automatically logs limited technical data — IP address, user-agent string, requested URL, referrer, and timestamp — for security, abuse prevention, and basic traffic analytics. We do not use third-party advertising or behavioral tracking cookies.

Cookies. The Site uses only essential cookies required for it to function. We do not set advertising, marketing, or cross-site tracking cookies.

2. How We Use Your Information

  • To respond to inquiries you submit through the contact form.
  • To send follow-up correspondence about products, quotes, or projects you've asked about.
  • To operate, secure, and improve the Site.
  • To comply with legal obligations.

We do not sell your personal information. We do not share it with third parties for their marketing purposes.

3. Service Providers

We rely on a small set of service providers to operate the Site and respond to inquiries:

  • Cloudflare — content delivery, DDoS protection, and Site hosting.
  • Google Workspace — the email infrastructure we use to receive and respond to contact-form inquiries at sales@appliedextracts.com.
  • Resend (or equivalent transactional email provider) — to deliver contact-form submissions to our inbox.

Each of these providers processes data on our behalf under their own privacy and security commitments.

4. Data Retention

We retain contact-form inquiries for as long as needed to respond to your request and maintain a reasonable business record of the conversation. You can ask us to delete your inquiry at any time by emailing sales@appliedextracts.com.

5. Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights regarding the personal information we hold about you, including the right to access, correct, or delete it, and the right to object to or restrict certain processing. To exercise these rights, contact us at sales@appliedextracts.com. We may need to verify your identity before responding.

California residents: The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) provide additional rights, including the right to know what categories of personal information we collect, the right to request deletion, and the right not to be discriminated against for exercising these rights. We do not sell or share personal information as those terms are defined under California law.

6. Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the information we collect. No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security, but we use HTTPS across the entire Site, do not store form data in browser-accessible storage, and follow least-privilege access for the small number of people who handle inquiries.

7. Children

The Site is intended for business and research audiences. It is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information, please contact us so we can delete it.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the Site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
