GESI Environmental Services, Inc. (“GESI” or “we”) takes the privacy of your personal information very seriously and will use your information only in accordance with the terms of this Privacy Policy and User Agreement. We will not sell or rent your personally identifiable information or a list of our customers to third parties. This Privacy Policy applies to all services that are hosted on the www.garner-es.com Web site.
By using this webpage, you are agreeing to this Privacy Policy and User Agreement and you expressly consent to our use and disclosure of your personal information in the manner described in this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy and User Agreement will take effect on February 8th, 2006. Please note that your personal information will be stored and processed on our computers in Deer Park, Texas, United States.
Garner Environmental Services website includes links to third party Web sites. These sites are governed by their own privacy statements, and GESI is not responsible for their operations, including but not limited to their information practices. Users submitting information to or through these third party Web sites should review the privacy statement of these sites before providing them with personally identifiable information.
Children (under the age of 18) are not eligible to use our services and we will discard any personal information submitted from them.
Because of the way that World Wide Web communication standards work, when you arrive at or leave the GESI Web site, we have statistics servers that automatically receive information on which pages of our Web site you visit while you are on the GESI site, the type of browser you use and the times you access our Web site. We use this information only to try to understand our customers' preferences better and to manage the load on our servers, so as to improve our service and your experience with GESI. We do not track the Web sites that you visit before or after you leave the GESI site.
We use IP addresses, browser types and access times to analyze trends, administer the site, improve site performance and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use.
We collect, store and process your personal information on servers located in the United States. We use the information we collect about you in order to provide our services and process your transactions and to improve products and services. We give access to individually identifiable information about our users only to those employees who require it to fulfill customer service requests.
Disclosure To Third Parties
We share information with companies that help us process the transactions you request and protect our customers' transactions from fraud, such as sharing your credit card number with a service that screens for lost and stolen card numbers. Additionally, if you go into a negative balance and owe us money, we may share information with processing companies including collection agencies.
We disclose information that we in good faith believe is appropriate to cooperate in investigations of fraud or other illegal activity, or to conduct investigations of violations of our Terms of Use. For example, this means that if we conduct a fraud investigation and conclude that one side has engaged in deceptive practices, we can give that person or entity's contact information (but not credit card information) to victims who request it.
We disclose information in response to a subpoena, warrant, court order, levy, attachment, order of a court-appointed receiver or other comparable legal process, including subpoenas from private parties in a civil action.
We disclose information to your agent or legal representative (such as the holder of a power of attorney that you grant, or a guardian appointed for you).
Information Security
GESI is committed to handling your customer information with high standards of information security. Your information is transmitted encrypted through the web in a 128 bit encryption protocol and is stored only in hardcopy and/or password protected computers in our main location in Deer Park Texas. We restrict access to your personally identifiable information to employees who need to know that information in order to provide products or services to you. We maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards that comply with federal regulations to guard your nonpublic personal information. Also, we test our security systems regularly for security breaches.
Any e-mail, or other communication, asking you to provide sensitive information via email different that the garner-es.com server, or linking to a website with any web address should be treated as unauthorized and suspicious and should be reported to GESI immediately to this Email Account. We do not use other links outside the “www.garner-es.com” servers. If you do share your sensitive information with third parties, you are responsible for actions taken using it.
