Commitment to Privacy In this Policy, the term "personal data" pertains to information such as your name, birth date, email address, or mailing address that can be utilized to identify you. Ethan Bio-Fuel never collects your personal data without your consent. To maintain strict standards of security and confidentiality, our staff is committed to complying with this principle. The following sections elucidate when and how we gather personal data from you.
Intended Utilization of Personal Data The majority of our services don't necessitate registration, enabling you to explore our website without revealing your identity. However, some services may require registration. When you register with us, certain fields (some obligatory and some optional) must be completed, and you'll choose a user name and password. In such instances, if you opt to withhold any personal data we request, it might limit your access to specific website sections and our ability to respond to your queries. Ethan Bio-Fuel collects and employs personal data for well-defined and limited purposes, which we communicate to you when we request information. For instance, we may collect and use personal data to offer you products or services, invoice you for requested products and services, promote products and services that might interest you, or communicate with you for other purposes. Information you send to us is solely used to assist in resolving your issue and is kept confidential. We retain your personal data only for a reasonable period required for these purposes and in accordance with applicable legal or ethical obligations for reporting or documentation retention.
Non-Disclosure of Information Ethan Bio-Fuel will not sell, share, or disseminate your personal data to external third parties unrelated to the Ethan Bio-Fuel organization. However, there might be occasional transfers of personal data to third parties acting on behalf of Ethan Bio-Fuel or in connection with Ethan Bio-Fuel's business, for further processing in line with the original data collection purposes. Whenever feasible, we will make sure that the disclosure and intended use of this data are explicitly stated. These third parties may have different privacy policies, but we will make every effort to ensure they uphold the same level of protection as Ethan Bio-Fuel. In cases involving sensitive data about you, we will not share it with third parties without your explicit prior consent. You can always revoke your consent later, but this might affect Ethan Bio-Fuel's ability to fulfill certain requests you make. When feasible, we will notify third parties to whom your data were transferred of your consent withdrawal.
Right to Access You have the right to access and update your personal data or request their deletion. We strive to maintain up-to-date, accurate, and complete personal data. If you wish to access or rectify your personal data held by us, please reach out to the Webmaster. We will handle your requests promptly and appropriately. No fees will be imposed for complying with a correction request. Requests for personal data deletion will be subject to applicable legal and ethical obligations for reporting, document filing, or retention imposed on Ethan Bio-Fuel.
Security and Confidentiality To ensure the security and confidentiality of personal data collected by Ethan Bio-Fuel online, we employ data networks protected by industry-standard firewall and password protection, among other measures. Access to personal data is restricted to employees with a legitimate need to use the data, who have received proper training in data handling and confidentiality standards. Employees who breach our policies and procedures face disciplinary action. We regularly audit and review staff compliance with our policies and procedures. Although we cannot guarantee immunity from data loss, misuse, or alteration, we take measures to prevent such occurrences.
International Data Transfers Ethan Bio-Fuel operates internationally and maintains databases in various jurisdictions. We may transfer your data to one of our databases located outside your home country. If a particular country does not meet recognized international privacy protection standards, we will ensure that data transfers to Ethan Bio-Fuel databases in that country are adequately safeguarded. Data transfers to third parties in such countries will not occur unless we obtain your advance consent.
Anonymous Data and "Cookies" Most of the information Ethan Bio-Fuel collects from its website(s) is anonymous, such as the pages you visit and the searches you conduct. We do not collect personal data from you when you visit our website unless you expressly authorize it. Anonymous data is used by Ethan Bio-Fuel to enhance website content and compile aggregate statistics about site users for internal market research. In this process, we may employ "cookies" to gather the first-level domain name of the user (e.g., "quickmail.com" from an email address like "smith@bigmail.com") and the access date and time. "Cookies" alone cannot identify the user. A "cookie" is a small piece of data sent to your browser and stored on your computer's hard drive. Cookies do not harm your computer, and you can configure your browser to notify you when you receive a "cookie," allowing you to decide whether to accept it or not.
Anti-Spam Policy Ethan Bio-Fuel does not endorse "spamming." Spamming involves sending unsolicited, typically commercial, emails in large volumes and repeatedly to individuals with whom the sender has no prior contact or who have declined to receive such communications. Conversely, if Ethan Bio-Fuel deems certain product or information of significance to you, we reserve the right to inform you by email while providing an opt-out choice.
Personal Information and Minors Ethan Bio-Fuel will not knowingly collect, use, or disclose personal data from minors under the age of 13 without obtaining prior consent from a person with parental responsibility (e.g., a parent or guardian) through offline communication. We will inform the parent of the specific types of personal data collected from the minor and offer the opportunity to object to further data collection, use, or storage. Ethan Bio-Fuel complies with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act in the U.S. and respects similar laws protecting children in other countries.
Links to Other Sites This Privacy Policy exclusively pertains to Ethan Bio-Fuel websites and does not encompass third-party websites. Ethan Bio-Fuel may provide links to other websites that we believe may interest our visitors. We aim to ensure these websites meet high standards. Nevertheless, owing to the nature of the World Wide Web, Ethan Bio-Fuel cannot guarantee the standards of every linked website or be held responsible for the content of non-Ethan Bio-Fuel sites.

This privacy policy has been effective since July 9th, 2008. We continuously strive to improve the tools available to you for managing the data you provide to us. We encourage you to periodically review this page for updates and other new features.
