I. Background and Purpose

TPC Group’s values encourage a corporate culture based on integrity and accountability. At the heart of this is respect for the people we do business with and the personal information they entrust to us. Therefore, the security of such personal information ("personal data") provided by visitors to our websites (the "Site") is a priority for us. TPC Group complies with the provisions of all applicable data protection laws, which regulate the collection, processing and use of personal data. By using this Site, you agree to this Privacy Statement and the Terms of Use. If you do not agree to this Privacy Statement or the Terms of Use, do not use this Site.

II. How Does TPC Group Handle Personal Data?

TPC Group does not collect, process and/or use any personal data (i.e., name, title, gender, address, e-mail address, etc.) resulting from your use of this Site unless you voluntarily choose to provide us with it, provide your consent or unless otherwise permitted by applicable laws and regulations.

When you provide us with personal data while requesting certain services, e.g. as part of a registration (i.e., when you order a publication), through completion of forms or e-mails, as part of an order for products and/or services or other inquiries, we will collect, process and/or use it only to perform the requested and rendered services. TPC Group does not sell personal information about you to any third party for their marketing use.

TPC Group may share the data collected or personal data you provide with its agents or vendors that provide services for TPC Group (i.e. IT services, analytics services, etc.). These third parties will access your information only to perform tasks on our behalf and per our instructions in compliance with this Privacy Policy.

We will release information about you only if (i) we have obtained your consent, (ii) are otherwise compelled by law and/or the public authorities to disclose and/or transfer such data, (iii) such transfer is necessary to protect and defend the rights or property of TPC Group or (iv) urgent circumstances warrant such transfer to protect the personal safety of TPC Group employees or the public.
