Privacy Policy

 

SITECH TEJAS is committed to protecting your privacy and developing technology that gives you the most powerful and safe online experience. This Privacy Statement applies to the SITECH TEJAS website and governs data collection and usage. By using the SITECH TEJAS website, you consent to the data practices described in this statement.

As used herein, the term “Personal Information” means information that relates to an identified or an identifiable individual (e.g., your name, physical address, telephone number, email address, social security number); and the term “on-personal information” means any information other than personal information that SITECH TEJAS may collect from you, such as anonymized data.

Collection of your Personal Information

SITECH TEJAS collects personally identifiable information, such as your e-mail address, name, home or work address or telephone number. SITECH TEJAS also collects anonymous demographic information, which is not unique to you, such as your ZIP code, age, gender, preferences, interests and favorites.

There is also information about your computer hardware and software that is automatically collected by SITECH TEJAS. This information can include: your IP address, browser type, domain names, access times and referring website addresses. This information is used by SITECH TEJAS for the operation of the service, to maintain quality of the service, and to provide general statistics regarding use of the SITECH TEJAS website.

Please keep in mind that if you directly disclose personally identifiable information or personally sensitive data through SITECH TEJAS public message boards, this information may be collected and used by others. Note: SITECH TEJAS does not read any of your private online communications.

SITECH TEJAS encourages you to review the privacy statements of websites you choose to link to from SITECH TEJAS so that you can understand how those websites collect, use and share your information. SITECH TEJAS is not responsible for the privacy statements or other content on websites outside of the SITECH TEJAS and SITECH TEJAS family of websites.

Use of your Personal Information

SITECH TEJAS collects and uses your personal information supplied to SITECH TEJAS in its Credit Applications, Rental Agreements and Sales Agreements as well as to operate the SITECH TEJAS website and deliver the services you have requested. SITECH TEJAS also uses your personally identifiable information to inform you of other products or services available from SITECH TEJAS and its affiliates. In some instances SITECH TEJAS may share information we collect about you, including but not limited to your Personal Information, with its various Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) , including but not limited to Caterpillar Inc., and its subsidiaries.  You can find Caterpillar’s Global Data Privacy Statement at http://www.caterpillar.com/dataprivacy.  SITECH TEJAS may also contact you via surveys to conduct research about your opinion of current services or of potential new services that may be offered.

SITECH TEJAS does not sell, share, rent or lease its customer lists to third parties. SITECH TEJAS may, from time to time, contact you on behalf of external business partners about a particular offering that may be of interest to you. In addition, SITECH TEJAS may share data with trusted partners such as Caterpillar Inc. to help us perform statistical analysis, send you email or postal mail, provide customer support, or arrange for deliveries. All such third parties are required to maintain the confidentiality of your information.

SITECH TEJAS does not use or disclose sensitive personal information, such as race, religion, or political affiliations, without your explicit consent.

SITECH TEJAS keeps track of the websites and pages our customers visit within SITECH TEJAS, in order to determine what SITECH TEJAS services are the most popular. This data is used to deliver customized content and advertising within SITECH TEJAS to customers whose behavior indicates that they are interested in a particular subject area.

SITECH TEJAS websites will disclose your personal information, without notice, only if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on SITECH TEJAS or the site; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of SITECH TEJAS; and, (c) act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of SITECH TEJAS, or the public.

SITECH TEJAS does not limit the ways in which it might use or share non-personal information – and SITECH TEJAS reserves the unencumbered right, but not the obligation, to use or share non-personal information – because non-personal information does not identify you. For example, SITECH TEJAS may freely share non-personal information with affiliated companies, its vendors, its suppliers, its representatives and other individuals, businesses and government entities.

Sitech is committed to protecting your privacy. When you opt-in to receive SMS messages from us, we collect your phone number and any other information you provide. We use this information to send you promotional messages, updates, reminders, and other relevant communications. We ensure that your personal information, including your phone number, is safeguarded with appropriate security measures. Importantly, we do not sell, share, rent or lease your phone number with third parties for the purposes of SMS communications. You have the right to access, correct, or delete your information and can opt-out of receiving SMS messages at any time by replying "STOP" to any message you receive from us.

Data Retention

SITECH TEJAS may retain your personal information and non-personal information for as long as it is reasonably necessary for a legitimate business purpose. SITECH TEJAS may dispose of or delete any such personal information or non-personal information at any time, except as set forth in any other agreement or document executed by both you and SITECH TEJAS concerning the same or as required by law.

Use of Cookies

The SITECH TEJAS website uses "cookies" to help you personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.

One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize SITECH TEJAS pages, or register with SITECH TEJAS site or services, a cookie helps SITECH TEJAS to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the same SITECH TEJAS website, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the SITECH TEJAS features that you customized.

You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the SITECH TEJAS services or websites you visit.

Security of your Personal Information

SITECH TEJAS takes commercially reasonable steps to secure your personal information from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. SITECH TEJAS secures the personally identifiable information you provide on computer servers in a controlled, secure environment, protected from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. When personal information (such as a credit card number) is transmitted to other websites, it is protected through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.

This transparency notice is intended to provide information about what personal data we collect about you and how it is used. As well as rights of access, amendment and restriction or objection to processing referred to above, individuals may have other rights in relation to the personal data we hold, such as a right to erasure/deletion and the right to data portability.
