This privacy policy will explain how our organization uses the personal data we collect from you when you use our website. By using our website and/or providing us with personal information, you agree to accept the terms of our privacy policy. If you do not agree to the terms of this privacy policy, please do not use the site or provide us with any personal information. This privacy policy applies to information that we collect on the site and to information which we may collect by other “offline” means, including, without limitation, sales calls and other business transactions.
What data do we collect?
When a user completes a form on our site, FUEL collects the following data:
Lead Data
If a visitor interacts with us, for example, to inquire about a product or service, or downloads content from our site, the visitor becomes a lead. In these cases, we will collect information provided to us through the form or questionnaire used to make the request, or the contact or other information provided at a trade show or industry event. The information is provided directly and voluntarily by the individual. Depending on the circumstances, this information will include:
We collect this data for sales and marketing purposes to allow us to respond to a request from a lead so that we may provide information about our products or services.
Communications to Users
Unless we are prohibited by applicable law from using cookies and a user has not otherwise consented to our use of cookies, we insert cookies in some of our correspondence with users.
In that case, when we send an email message to a user, our message contains images or links, which when viewed or clicked, will register an event with us that allows us to know whether the user has accessed or declined to open our message. This action may also store a cookie that will allow us to count unique clicks or visits and potentially track the recipient.
This information is needed for our legitimate business purposes because it helps us understand how the individual reacts to our communications and limit the amount and nature of information provided. We believe that such means are fair, lawful, and proportional to the legitimate interests and needs of our business, and that our methodology fairly addresses each user’s legitimate rights and expectations in view of the context and purpose for the collection and use of the information collected.
The information is collected in connection with our marketing efforts and is retained so that we can continue or elect to stop interaction with the lead.
Payment Information for Ad Platforms
If a client provides payment card information for an ad platform, this information is entered directly into the ad platform (Google Ads, Facebook Ads, etc) and is not stored locally in any FUEL systems. The security of this payment information depends upon the ad platforms themselves. After payment card information is entered, we do not have access to payment card information and disclaim any liability for any loss or compromise of payment card information.
