This policy applies to information collected via our website, email, other communications with Fluoryx Labs, and business interactions. By accessing or using our website or services, you acknowledge that you have read and agree to this Privacy Policy.

COLLECTION AND USE OF INFORMATION
Fluoryx Labs collects personal information that you voluntarily provide, such as your name, email address, billing/shipping address, phone number, and payment information. We collect only the personal information necessary to provide our services or comply with legal obligations. This information is collected for purposes including:
- Fulfilling orders and providing our products and services
- Responding to inquiries and providing technical or customer support
- Communicating updates, offers, and company announcements (if you have opted in)
- Complying with legal or regulatory obligations
In compliance with the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and other applicable laws, we process your personal information based on one or more of the following legal bases:
- Performance of a contract, such as fulfilling your orders or providing services
- Compliance with legal obligations
- Legitimate interests pursued by Fluoryx Labs, provided they do not override your rights
- Consent, for example, for marketing communications where you have opted in
ORDERS / PURCHASES
When placing an order, you may be asked to provide contact and financial information to process your purchase. This information is used solely for order fulfillment, billing, and communication regarding your order.
All online payments are processed through PayPal, a PCI DSS compliant payment processor. Fluoryx Labs does not store full credit card numbers on its servers. Sensitive payment information is encrypted and transmitted securely using industry-standard protocols.
If any issues arise with an order, we may contact you using the information provided.
SHARING AND DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION
We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share your information with trusted third-party service providers as necessary to process orders, deliver products (e.g., shipping carriers such as FedEx), or process payments (e.g., PayPal). All third-party providers are bound by confidentiality and data security requirements.
For new product inquiries, you may voluntarily provide details about requested chemical products. This information will only be used to assess feasibility, provide quotes, or discuss project collaboration, and will be handled securely under confidentiality agreements.
Personal information may be transferred across borders to service providers in other countries. Where transfers occur from the European Economic Area (EEA), we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission, to protect your data.
COOKIES AND TRACKING
Fluoryx Labs does not directly set cookies on your device. However, because our online store is hosted on Shopify, cookies and similar technologies are placed by Shopify (and its service providers, such as Google Analytics) to enhance user experience, ensure proper website functionality, maintain your shopping cart, recognize repeat visitors, and improve overall site performance.
These tools may automatically collect information about your interaction with the Site, including:
- Device and browser information
- IP address and network connection details
- Pages viewed and time spent on the site
- Items added to your cart or wishlist
- Interaction with site features and navigation
Where required by law (such as in the EU or UK), we will request your consent before Shopify or its partners place non-essential cookies (including analytics or marketing cookies) on your device. Essential cookies, which are necessary for website operation or services you request (for example, remembering items in your cart), may be placed without prior consent. You can adjust or withdraw your cookie preferences at any time through Shopify's cookie banner or your browser settings. Please note that some features of this site may not function properly without cookies.
ADVERTISING AND THIRD-PARTY SERVICES
Fluoryx Labs uses Shopify and its service providers to support website functionality and, where applicable, personalized advertising. If you wish to restrict the use of your personal information for such advertising purposes, you may manage your preferences through Shopify's privacy portal at https://privacy.shopify.com. Depending on your jurisdiction, we also honor opt-out signals sent via Global Privacy Control (GPC) for the device and browser you use to access the website.
DO NOT TRACK AND GLOBAL PRIVACY CONTROL
Some web browsers and plug-ins offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature or Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal that lets you indicate your preference not to be tracked online. Fluoryx Labs does not respond to DNT signals. Where required by law, such as under the California Consumer Privacy Rights Act (CCPA) or similar state laws, we honor valid GPC signals as an opt-out request for the sale or sharing of personal information or for targeted advertising.
California residents may exercise their CCPA/CPRA rights, including the right to opt out of the sale of personal information, by using the "Do Not Sell My Personal Information" link on our website or contacting us directly at sales@fluoryx.com.
PROTECTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
Fluoryx Labs takes reasonable technical, administrative, and physical measures to safeguard your personal information. Access to personal information is restricted to employees who require it to perform their job responsibilities (e.g., billing, customer service). Our servers and systems are maintained in secure environments designed to protect against unauthorized access or disclosure.
While we strive to ensure strong security, no system can be guaranteed completely safe. Data transmission over the Internet carries some inherent risk, and we cannot promise absolute security. In the event of a data breach, we will notify affected individuals and applicable authorities in accordance with legal requirements and take steps to mitigate risks and prevent recurrence.
We also encourage you to use caution when sharing information online and to take reasonable steps to protect your own accounts and devices. We also recommend that you do not send sensitive or confidential information to us via unsecure channels.
DATA RETENTION
Fluoryx Labs retains personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. Retention periods may vary depending on factors such as legal, regulatory, or contractual obligations, dispute resolution, or other legitimate business needs.
Specific retention periods include, but are not limited to:
- Order and transaction data: retained a minimum of 7 years for tax and accounting purposes
- Marketing data: retained until opt-out or withdrawal of consent
- Customer inquiries and support data: retained for 1 year after resolution
DATA BREACH NOTIFICATION
In the unlikely event that your personal information is involved in a data breach, Fluoryx Labs will investigate the incident promptly and take all necessary steps to mitigate its impact. Where the breach is likely to result in a risk to your rights or freedoms, and where required by law, we will notify affected individuals and applicable authorities of the breach without undue delay. Notifications will include information about the nature of the breach, the categories of data affected, the steps we have taken to address the situation, and any recommendations for protecting yourself against potential harm. We will also cooperate with relevant authorities as required.
