Information We Collect

We collect different types of information from Portal users and responders to email surveys and registrations.

We may collect personally identifiable information that you voluntarily provide to us, including your first and last name; company name and address; email address; telephone number; and your username and password for accessing any Portal (collectively, “Personal Information”).

Usage Information

We may collect additional information from you regarding your activities on any Portal (collectively, “Usage Information”). If you log into a Portal with your unique username and password, then we may associate your Usage Information with your identity. When you use any Portal that does not require you to log in with unique user credentials, then we may collect anonymous Usage Information that may not by itself reasonably identify you as the source. Usage Information may include your IP address; “click stream” activity, such as when you click on a banner advertisement; the type of Internet browser and computer operating system you are using; the location from which you are accessing the Portal; the URL of the website from which you linked to our Portal; the areas of our Portal you visited; and the actions you performed on our Portal.

How We Collect Information

We may collect Personal Information when you voluntarily provide such information to us through any Portal, or by other communication, for example, by creating a user account, subscribing to receive emails from us, making online payments to Envita, submitting an order or request for services, completing an online survey, filling out an online form with comments or inquiries, or sending a data file.

We may automatically record Usage Information on our server logs that your browser transmits when you use any Portal. We may also collect Usage Information about how you access and interact with any Portal through the use of automated tracking technology, such as cookies (as described below in the Cookies and Other Internet Technologies section). A cookie is a small data file that is transferred to a web browser, which enables any Portal to remember and customize your subsequent visits. You can instruct your browser to block the acceptance of cookies or to provide you with a warning prompt before you accept cookies from the Portal. If you reject cookies, the functionality of the Portal may be limited.

How We Use and Disclose Information

General Uses and Disclosures

Provision of Services

We may use and disclose your Personal Information and Usage Information to support the delivery of our services. For example, we may share your information with your business affiliates, contractors, customers, or other entities as requested and designated by you. We may also make such information accessible to third-party service providers that assist us with managing our daily business operations, such as our supply chain vendors that provide disposal, transportation, and recycling support.

We also may share your information with third-party service providers that assist Envita with hosting and maintaining any Portal, processing online payments, and otherwise facilitating e-commerce, and marketing our services. For example, we may use third parties such as Salesforce, Constant Contact, and Google for these purposes. Please be aware that these third parties’ use of your information will be subject to their privacy policies or other terms, as applicable.

Law Enforcement, Safety, and Legal Processes

We may share your Personal Information, Usage Information, or both, with law enforcement or other government officials if it relates to a criminal investigation or alleged criminal activity. We may also disclose your Personal Information, Usage Information, or both, if required or permitted to do so by law; for fraud protection and credit risk reduction purposes, or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to protect and defend the rights or property of Envita or any Portal users; and to act under urgent circumstances to protect the safety of Envita or its employees or a member of the public. We may also disclose your information to comply with a judicial proceeding, court order, subpoena, or legal process.

If we are not the surviving entity in that transaction, the surviving entity may use your Personal Information, Usage Information, or both, pursuant to its own privacy policies and practices, which may differ from this Privacy Policy.

Security of Personal Information

Unfortunately, no data transmitted over or accessible through the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we attempt to protect all Personal Information, we cannot ensure or warrant that Personal Information will be completely secure from misappropriation by hackers or from other nefarious or criminal activities, or in the event of a failure of computer hardware, software, or a telecommunications network. We will notify you in the event we become aware of a security breach involving your personally identifiable information (as defined by the applicable state and federal laws) stored by or for us. By disclosing your email address to us for any reason, you expressly consent to receive electronic notice from us in the event of such a security breach.

Children’s Privacy

No Portal is intended for use by a child under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect any Personal Information from a child under the age of 13 through any Portal. If you are aware of a child under the age of 13 using any Portal, please alert us at the contact information listed below.

Other Provisions

Third-Party Links

Any Portal may contain links to websites not affiliated with us. Your use of an external website or any informational content found on an external website is subject to and governed by the privacy policies, terms, and conditions of that website. We do not endorse or make any representations or warranties concerning, and will not in any way be liable for, any informational content, products, services, software, or other materials available on an external website, even if one or more pages of the external website are framed within a page of any Portal. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of any external website.

Online Payments

We use a third-party e-commerce vendor to collect and process your payments for any products and services you purchase using the Portal. Accordingly, Envita does not store your payment card information or financial account information. The information you provide when you make a purchase using any Portal will be subject to the vendor’s privacy policy, as well as any agreements between Envita and the vendor.

Accessing and Updating Information

If you would like to access, update, delete, or modify Personal Information, you may do so through your Portal user account. You may reach us at the contact information listed below if you need assistance or would like to delete your user account. Modifying, updating, or deleting any information will not result in the modification, updating, or deletion of any such information that may reside in back-up or disaster-recovery storage.

Opting Out

If you would like to opt out of receiving email communications from us, you may do so by changing your subscription settings through your Portal user account or contacting us at the contact information listed below.

Do Not Track

Certain web browsers and other devices you may use to access any Portal may permit you to submit your preference that you do not wish to be “tracked” online. We do not currently commit to responding to these submissions, in part, because no common industry standard for “do not track” has been adopted by industry groups, technology companies, or regulators. We will make efforts to monitor developments around this browser technology and the implementation of a standard.

Google Analytics and AdWords

We may share your Usage Information with Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google. Google Analytics plants a cookie on your web browser to identify you as a unique user each time you visit any Portal, but the cookie cannot be used by anyone but Google.

We may also use Google AdWords to deliver tailored advertising of our products and services based on users’ past visits to any Portal. This allows Google to place our advertisements on websites and mobile apps that are unaffiliated with Envita, and users may access these advertisements using multiple devices. This Privacy Policy does not cover the privacy practices of the third-party websites and apps on which our advertisements may be placed.

Some Portal users may have permitted Google to both link their web and app browsing histories with their Google accounts and use their Google account information to offer personalized advertisements. Google collects identifiers associated with such Portal users’ Google accounts and combines them with other Google Analytics information to optimize the delivery of personalized advertisements across various user devices.

Google’s ability to use and share information about your visits to any Portal is restricted by the Google Analytics Terms of Use and Google’s Privacy Policy. You may prevent Google Analytics from recognizing your future visits to any Portal by disabling cookies on your browser or installing Google Analytics’ opt-out browser add-on. You may control your experience with advertisements or opt out of receiving personalized advertisements altogether by visiting Google’s Ad Settings.

Cookies and Other Internet Technologies

Each Portal may use cookies (i.e., small text files placed on your device) and similar technologies (e.g., pixels and pixel tags, ad tags, clear GIFs, and JavaScript) – including cookies and technologies from third-party providers – to enable certain features and functionality and to collect additional information that helps us to improve a Portal. Any Portal may use session cookies (which expire when you close your browser) and persistent cookies (which remain on your device after you close your browser until you delete them, or they expire). We use these technologies for security purposes, to help you navigate any Portal, to display information more effectively, to better serve you with tailored information on any Portal, and to gather statistical information about how visitors use any Portal in order to continually improve its design and functions.

If you do not want data to be collected from your device via cookies, most browsers have a setting that allows you to decline the use of cookies. Some features of any Portal may not work properly if you decline the use of cookies. To learn more about cookies, please visit https://www.allaboutcookies.org/.

Other third-party cookies and technologies. We also may enable third-party cookies and other similar technologies to collect or receive data from any Portal and elsewhere for use in advertising, including for the purposes of serving advertisements targeted to users’ interests, retargeting visitors to any Portal, conversion tracking (i.e., tracking the actions users take after viewing or engaging with our advertisements), measuring ad effectiveness, and ensuring that you do not see the same ad repeatedly. These cookies and similar technologies collect data about your browsing habits and online behavior, including across different browsers and devices used by you, in order to serve advertisements that may be of interest to you. For example, Envita third-party providers may use the fact that you visited any Portal to place online ads for Envita on non-Envita websites.

Third-parties may also use data about your use of any Portal to help target non-Envita advertisements based on your online behavior and/or interests in general. Data collected generally includes actions you take on any Portal (e.g., URL, previous website visited), device and browser data (e.g., IP address, operating system, browser type), timestamp, and events (e.g., page views). In some cases, this data is connected to your social network ID. Please note that Envita is not responsible for practices by such third parties, and those practices are subject to those companies’ own policies.

You may use industry platforms to opt out of interest-based advertising. To learn more about opting out of receiving interest-based advertisements and how to exercise your options, please visit: https://optout.aboutads.info and www.networkadvertising.org/choices. These tools use cookies to record and implement your preferences. If you disable or delete cookies on your device after using these tools, you will need to complete the opt-out process again.

Updates to the Privacy Policy

We may periodically revise the Privacy Policy in our sole and absolute discretion to reflect changes in the law or our business practices. If we revise the Privacy Policy, we will notify you by posting the updated Privacy Policy. Changes to the Privacy Policy will become effective and will apply to the information collected starting on the date we post the revised Privacy Policy. Your continued use of any Portal after any change to our Privacy Policy has become effective will constitute your acceptance of the change.
