Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Global-Tek and its affiliates subsidiaries (collectively, “Global-Tek,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) — respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information.

This Privacy Policy applies to all public-facing websites owned or operated by Global-Tek (collectively, the “Sites”). It explains how we collect, use, and safeguard information that users (including “you”) provide to us when interacting with our Sites.

We strive to process personal data in accordance with applicable laws, including the California Consumer Privacy and Privacy Rights Acts (CCPA/CPRA), the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA, Canada’s federal privacy law) and other relevant data protection frameworks.

2. Information We Collect

We collect limited personal information directly from you when you:

• Complete a contact form, providing your name and email address; or
• Communicate with us by email or other channels available on our Sites.

We do not collect sensitive personal data through our public websites.

3. Legal Basis for Processing

Our legal bases for processing personal information include:

• Legitimate interests — responding to inquiries and providing requested information.
• Consent — when you voluntarily submit personal information through our contact form.
• Legal obligations — complying with applicable regulations or requests from authorities.

4. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Respond to inquiries or requests submitted through our contact form;
• Communicate about our services or solutions;
• Improve the functionality and user experience of our Sites; and
• Comply with legal and regulatory obligations.

We do not sell, lease or share your personal information with any third parties.

5. Data Retention

We retain personal information as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, as otherwise described in this policy or as required by law. Contact form submissions are typically retained for up to 24 months, unless continued communication or legal obligations require otherwise.

6. Providing Data to Third Parties

We may provide limited amounts of data, including personal information, with to:

• Trusted service providers in order for them to support website hosting, email delivery, analytics, or IT security;
• Regulatory or government bodies where legally required.

All our service providers operate under confidentiality agreements and data protection standards consistent with this policy.

7. Cookies

Our Sites do not use cookies or similar technologies.

8. Children's Privacy

Our Sites are not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected such data, we will delete it promptly.

9. Data Security

We use industry-standard administrative, technical, and physical safeguards — including encrypted HTTPS connections — to protect personal data from unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure. While we strive to ensure data security, no online transmission is completely secure.

10. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights to:

• Access, correct, or delete your personal information;
• Object to or restrict certain processing;
• Withdraw consent you have granted us (if applicable); and
• To exercise these rights, please contact us at sdybiec@crawfordunited.com.
