Industries Inc. and its subsidiary and affiliated companies
(“Cytec”, “we” or “us”) appreciate your interest in the Cytec
Website and other related sites (“Website”).Your privacy is
important to Cytec so please read the information below to
understand Cytec’s practices with respect to gathering
information from users of the Website and how Cytec makes use of

Safe Harbor
Certification for Privacy
As part of our commitment to privacy, Cytec has voluntarily certified to
the Safe Harbor certification program, a privacy program
co-sponsored by the European Commission and US Department of
Commerce. This means that Cytec has voluntarily implemented a
set of privacy standards that are approved by the United States

Only a small percentage of US companies have certified to the
Safe Harbor privacy standards. More information about our Safe
Harbor privacy policy is provided in the link below.
Registration
When you
first visit certain areas of our Website, we may ask you to
register and provide us with information about you and your
company including your name, company name, address, telephone
and fax number, e-mail address, and other identity and contact
information. If you purchase products, use our services or
request other materials through our Website or otherwise make
use of the Website, we may ask you to provide additional
information. This information may include financial
information, technical information, job title and
responsibilities and other business-related information.
Orders
We request
information from you on order forms. Here you must provide
contact information (including your name, company name, shipping
address) and financial or payment information. This information
is used for billing purposes and to fill your orders. If we
have any difficulty in processing your order or need to advise
you of anything regarding your order or program, this contact
information is used to get in touch with you or others at your
company.
Events,
Surveys and Contests
We also
collect information when you voluntarily submit it to us.
Throughout the Website there may be opportunities to register
for an event or conference, order free documents, or participate
in an online survey. All of these opportunities are voluntary
and, therefore, you have the option to participate and submit
the information or not. When we collect this type of
information, we will notify you as to why we are asking for the
information and how it will be used.
Cookies
and Log Files
We may also
collect information directly from you through the use of
cookies. A cookie is a small file which is stored on your hard
drive and contains information about you. Our usage of a cookie
is no way linked to any personally identifiable information.
The cookie is used to identify how you entered our Website, how
you navigated through the Website and what information was of
interest to you. You may reject our use of a cookie and still
use the Website. However, without the use of the cookie, your
use may be limited in some areas of our Website. If you are
uncomfortable regarding cookie use, please keep in mind you can
disable cookies on your computer by changing the settings in the
preferences or options menu in your browser.
When you
access the Website, your Internet address is automatically
collected and is placed in our Internet access logs in order to
analyze trends, administer the Website, track user movement and
gather aggregate information. “Aggregate information” is
information that describes the habits, usage patterns and/or
demographics of users as a group but does not describe or reveal
the identity of any particular user. Your Internet address is
not linked to any personally identifiable information.
Sharing
Information
We will not
sell individual information and will only share it with our
advisors who will not use it for any secondary purposes.
“Individual information” is information about a user that is
presented in a form distinguishable from information relating to
other users but not in a form that personally identifies any
user or enables the recipient to communicate directly with any
user. We may share aggregate information and survey information
but this information is not linked to any personal information
that can identify any individual person. However, you should be
careful when including any personal information in any
submission or as a part of any chat room discussion, blog or
other form of communication. This information may be readily
available to other users and we cannot control their use of that
information.
We may use
outside shipping companies to ship orders and a credit
card/payment processing company to bill you for products and
services. These companies do not retain, share, store or use
personally identifiable information for any secondary purposes.
We may partner with another party to provide specific services
or products. If you request these services or products, we will
share your name or other contact information that is necessary
for the third party to provide the services. These third
parties are not permitted to use the personally identifiable
information except for the purposes of providing the requested
services and products.
We may
disclose information about you or your company if we have a good
faith belief that we are required to do so by law or legal
process, to respond to claims, or to protect our rights,
property or safety or those of others.

This Website
may contain links to sites operated by other companies or
individuals. Please be aware that we are not responsible for
the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage you to
be aware when you leave our site and to examine the privacy
practices of each and every site that you visit. This Privacy
Statement applies solely to the information collected by this
Website.
Protection of your Information
Your
transmission of financial and billing information to us is
secured through encryption. While we strive to protect your
personal or company information by encryption and other means,
we cannot guarantee or warrant the security of the information
you transmit to us, and if you choose to use our Website, you do
so at your own risk. Please keep in mind that the information
disclosed by you on our Website via a chat room, blog, bulletin
board or other similar submission, may be collected and used by
other users of the Website.

we send registered users an email regarding our products,
services, special offerings or newsletters. Out of respect for
the privacy of our users we present the option to not receive
these types of communications. Please see the Choice/Opt-Out

Harbor Privacy Policy for Users outside of the United States
Amendments and Changes
If we decide
to change our privacy practices and this Privacy Statement, we
will post those changes on the Website so you are always aware
of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what
circumstances, if any, we disclose it. If at any point we
intend to use any personally identifiable information in a
manner different from that stated at the time it was collected,
we will notify you by email (if you provided your email address)
if your information is affected. You will have a choice as to
whether or not we use the information in that way.
