Privacy policy

We want to be completely transparent about how we handle your personal information when you visit our Site, sign up for newsletters, request a quote, schedule training or consulting, or otherwise use our Services. The policy below explains how we collect, use, and protect your data in full compliance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the California Consumer Privacy Act (as amended by CPRA), the CAN-SPAM Act, and other applicable U.S. and international data protection and marketing laws.

HSC provides expert hazardous materials compliance consulting and training to businesses and professionals in highly regulated industries. Our Services help customers stay compliant, protect their operations, and ship, handle, and store dangerous goods safely and legally.

Our Services are intended only for users 18 years of age or older. All Services are operated by HSC (referred to in this policy as “we,” “us,” or “the Company”).

Personal Information We Collect

When you use our Site or Services — for example, by filling out a contact form, requesting a quote, registering for training or educational events — we may collect the following personal information:

1. Business and contact information: Your name, job title, company name, email address, phone number, mailing address, and billing details.
2. Information about how you use our Site and Services: Pages visited, content downloaded, IP address, browser type, device information, operating system, approximate location, and interaction data (e.g., when you open an email or click a link). We collect this through Google Analytics and similar tools.
3. Other information you provide: Preferences, consent choices, files you upload (e.g., product specs or shipment details), chat transcripts, survey responses, and any other information you voluntarily submit. We do not collect special categories of personal data (as defined in Article 9 of the GDPR) unless you explicitly provide it and consent is obtained.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

When you visit our Site, we and our third-party partners may use cookies, web beacons, pixels, and similar technologies to recognize you, remember your preferences, and improve your experience. You can control cookies through your browser settings, though blocking them may affect site functionality.

Third-Party Websites

Our Site may contain links to third-party websites (for example, PHMSA, IATA, or others). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites. This Privacy Policy applies only to information collected by hazmatsafety.com.

How We Use and Share Your Personal Information

We use and, when necessary, share your personal information for the following purposes:

• Deliver and improve our Services (quotes, training, custom case design, regulatory approvals)
• Communicate with you about orders, inquiries, or regulatory updates
• Send marketing communications about products, services, or industry news (you can opt out at any time)
• Conduct analytics and market research
• Comply with legal and regulatory requirements
• Prevent fraud and protect the security of our Site and Services

We may share your information with trusted third parties such as: Service providers (e.g., web hosting, email delivery, payment processors, shipping carriers), Business partners (e.g., co-hosted webinar sponsors or testing/certification labs — only with your consent or on a legitimate-interest basis with opt-out), Law enforcement or regulators when required by law.

Legal Bases for Processing (GDPR)

When we process personal data of individuals in the EU/UK, we rely on the following legal bases:

• Consent — when you opt in to marketing or certain cookies
• Contract — to fulfill orders, provide quotes, or deliver training
• Legitimate Interests — to operate our business, improve services, and send relevant industry updates (we always balance your rights and provide easy opt-out)
• Legal Obligation — to comply with hazardous materials, export, or data-protection laws

For California residents (CCPA/CPRA): We do not “sell” or “share” your personal information as those terms are defined under California law.

Data Security and Retention

We use industry-standard security measures (encryption, access controls, regular audits) to protect your information. We retain personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described above or as required by law — typically no longer than 7 years for business records, and shorter for marketing contacts.

International transfers: When data is transferred outside the U.S. or EEA, we use approved mechanisms such as Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or the UK International Data Transfer Agreement to ensure equivalent protection.

Your Rights

Depending on where you are located, you may have the right to:

• Access, correct, or delete your personal information
• Object to or restrict certain processing
• Withdraw consent at any time
• Opt out of marketing communications (every email includes an unsubscribe link)
• Request your data in a portable format
• California residents also have “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” rights (though we do not sell or share as defined)

To exercise any of these rights, email info@hazmatsafety.com.
