The information We Collect

We collect or receive the following types of information:

Personal Information

We may collect your personal information, such as name, company name, IP address and email or physical address, from you directly, or indirectly, through business relationships, or from publicly available online sources. We will collect, use, disclose, transfer, retain or otherwise process your personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

If you purchase our products or services, a third-party payment processor may receive access to your payment information (such as credit card number and billing address) for the sole purpose of processing transactions. Any such payment processors will be bound to maintain all such personal information in a secure environment, keep it confidential and not use or disclose such information for any purpose other than to validate purchases.

Cookies

We collect information using “cookie” technology. Cookies are small packets of data that a website stores on your computer’s or mobile device’s hard drive (or other storage medium) so that your computer or device will “remember” information about your visit. We use both first and third-party session cookies and persistent cookies. Where available, the ability to accept cookie placement may be found in a cookie banner first displayed on the Website and, if available, in the cookie preferences.
Below is a general primer on session and persistent cookies; information collected by cookies depends on its particular purpose and the cookie preferences, if available, may have additional information. For more information, please see Information from Third-Party Analytics Providers below.

Session Cookies: We use session cookies to make it easier for you to navigate our Website and other BASF websites and platforms. A session ID cookie expires when you close your browser.
Persistent Cookies: A persistent cookie remains on your hard drive for an extended period of time or until you delete them. You can remove persistent cookies by following directions provided in your web browser’s “help” file. To the extent we provide a log-in portal or related feature on our Website or other BASF websites or platforms, persistent cookies can be used to store your passwords so that you don’t have to enter it more than once. Persistent cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our visitors to personalize the experience on our Website or other BASF websites or platforms.

In some cases, we may associate information that you have provided to us (e.g., email address) with the cookies that we use. In addition to facilitating the purposes described above, this is useful in understanding your engagement with other content related to our Website or other BASF websites or platforms (e.g., email open rates, URL click-throughs).
If you do not want us to place a cookie on your hard drive, you may be able to turn that feature off on your computer or mobile device and, where available, may decline the placement using a cookie banner. Please consult your browser’s documentation for information on how to do this and how to delete persistent cookies via your browser. However, if you decide not to accept cookies from us, certain aspects of our Website or other BASF websites or platforms may not function properly or as intended.

Information from Third-Party Analytics Providers

We may use one or more third–party analytics services to evaluate your use of our Website or other BASF websites or platforms, as the case may be, by compiling reports on activity (based on their collection of IP addresses, Internet service provider, browser type, operating system and language, referring and exit pages and URLs, recordings of site and/or screen interactions, and other similar usage data) and analyzing performance metrics. These third parties use cookies and other technologies to help collect, analyze, and provide us reports or other data.
By accessing and using our Website or other BASF websites or platforms, you consent to the processing of data about you by these analytics providers in the manner and for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy.
