We value the privacy of our users’ (“you” or “your”) information and are always striving to make your experience better. Nexeo Plastics, LLC’s Privacy Statement (“Privacy Statement”) describes our information practices and, in particular, how we collect, use, and share the Personal Information, as defined herein, that we gather through our Services, as defined below.
This Privacy Statement applies to data collected on the Nexeo Plastics, LLC and its subsidiaries and affiliates, (“Nexeo Plastics”) website and associated digital properties that link to this Privacy Statement and through Nexeo Plastics interactive advertisements (the “Services”).
The Services do not include other Nexeo Plastics websites that do not link to this Privacy Statement and/or that have separate privacy statements tailored specifically for activity on those websites. If you have any questions about this Privacy Statement, please contact us through the options provided in the Contact Us section below.
By using the Services, you are consenting to the terms of this Privacy Statement.
Definition of Personal Information
We define the term “Personal Information” to mean any information that we directly associate with a specific person, or that reasonably can be used to identify a specific person. For example, this includes your name, home address, phone number, email address, and any other information we tie to these elements.
Personal Information does not include “aggregated information,” which is information that we collect about a group or category of persons or services. It also does not include “de-identified information,” which is information from which we or our agents have removed information that can be used to specifically identify a person. This Privacy Statement does not apply to our collection, use, or disclosure of aggregated or de-identified information.
How We Collect and Use Personal Information
There are three categories of information that we collect through the Services.
On some of our web pages, you may be able to ask questions and register to receive information. On these pages, we will ask you for the Personal Information necessary for us to respond to you. If you opt not to provide us with Personal Information, you can still access our websites; however, you may be unable to participate in certain promotions or receive product information offered through the Services.
Examples of Personal Information you may choose to provide include:
Referrals: Occasionally, you may have the opportunity to forward product sampling opportunities or other information on the website to friends, relatives, or other contacts or to send messages from the Services to friends, relatives, or other contacts. This referral information you provide to facilitate this communication is used on a one-time basis or stored only for analysis purposes and is not further used by us to re-contact referred individuals, except in circumstances where we obtain consent from the people you have referred to receive communications from us.
We use various technologies to collect other types of data that do not directly reveal your identity (“Other Information”). If we associate Other Information with Personal Information, we will treat the combined information as Personal Information in accordance with this Privacy Statement.
Logging Functionality: As is true of most websites, we may collect certain information automatically, both directly and indirectly, and store it in log files. This information may include web log information (such as your web browser, operating system, pages visited, etc.), the date and time you visited our site, the pages you visited, the referrer (the website you came from), the type of browser you are using (e.g., Edge, Firefox, or Google Chrome), the type of operating system you are using (e.g., Windows or Mac OS), and the domain name and address of your Internet Service Provider (e.g., AT&T, Xfinity, Verizon, etc.). We generally only use this data for purposes such as security, fraud detection, and protecting our rights.
Cookies and Web Beacons: When you use the Services, we may collect Other Information about your use of “cookie” technology or with “web beacons” (also called “single-pixel gif” or “web pings”) or other similar technologies. We use this information to manage our websites and email messages and to collect and track information about you and your activities over time.
Cookie. When you use the Services, we may store some information on your computer in the form of a small text file, also called a “cookie.” Cookies help us in many ways to make your visit to our website more enjoyable and meaningful to you. For example, cookies avoid you having to log in every time you come back to one of our websites, and they can store items in your shopping cart for later purchase. They also allow us to tailor a website or advertisement to better match your interests and preferences. Most browsers can be configured not to accept cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. Our cookies cannot read data from your hard drive, cannot read cookie files created by other websites, and cannot track any Personal Information about you.
Most internet browsers allow you to remove or manage cookie functions and adjust your privacy and security preferences. For information on how to do this, access the “help” menu on your internet browser, or visit http://www.aboutcookies.org/how-to-control-cookies/. Please note, however, that disabling our cookies may result in a less enjoyable experience with the Services.
Web Beacons. Web beacons are site instrumentations that help us to determine, for instance, whether a page has been viewed or not and, if so, how many times. When you ask us to send you information on a promotion or a newsletter, we may use web beacons to establish how many of the emails are actually opened. In general, any electronic image viewed as part of a web page, including an ad banner, can act as a web beacon.
Analytics: We use analytics providers, such as Google Analytics, to help us evaluate and measure the use and performance of the Services. To opt out of the aggregation and analysis of data collected about you on the Services by Google Analytics, visit http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout and download and install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
We may receive additional Personal Information from third-party sources that we may append to existing user information, such as email and address verification. We use this supplemental information to better understand our consumers, deliver relevant offers and advertising, and improve our operations, the Services, and our advertising and marketing campaigns.
Additional Uses of Personal Information
In addition to the uses described above, we may use your Personal Information for the following purposes:
How We Share and Disclose Personal Information
We share your Personal Information with third parties only in the ways described in this Privacy Statement.
Service Providers: We may share your Personal Information with our vendors, contractors, or partners (collectively, “Service Providers”) in connection with services that these Service Providers perform on our behalf or for your benefit. The services they provide for us include mailing product samples, contacting the winners of our contests, marketing, analytics, fulfilling orders, processing payment, verifying user data such as mailing addresses, or preventing fraud.
Affiliates: We may share your information with affiliated legal entities within the Nexeo Plastics family of companies for purposes and uses that are consistent with this Privacy Statement.
Legal Process, Safety, and Terms Enforcement: We may disclose your Personal Information to legal or government regulatory authorities in response to their requests for such information or to assist in investigations. We may also disclose your Personal Information to third parties in connection with claims, disputes, or litigation when otherwise required by law, or if we determine its disclosure is necessary to protect your health and safety or ours, or to enforce our legal rights or contractual commitments that you have made, including with respect to our Terms of Use.
Business Transfers: Your Personal Information may be disclosed as a part of a corporate business transaction, such as a merger, acquisition, joint venture, or financing or sale of company assets, and could be transferred to a third party as one of the business assets in such a transaction. It may also be disclosed in the event of insolvency, bankruptcy, or receivership.
Your Ad Choices
We support the self-regulatory principles of the Digital Advertising Alliance (“DAA”) https://digitaladvertisingalliance.org/. We work with a variety of advertisers, advertising networks, advertising services, and analytics companies (“Ad Partners”) that use different technologies to collect data about your use of the Services (such as pages visited, and ads viewed or clicked on) to deliver relevant advertising.
These technologies may include the placement on our Services of cookies or web beacons, and other data collection technologies by these Ad Partners to track how our Services are being used, to track where you go online and what you do after you leave our Services, to link various devices you may use and to serve you more relevant ads. These advertisements may appear on our Services or other internet services that you visit.
For more information about how Ad Partners use the information collected by the technologies on our Services and about your options not to accept cookies placed by some of these companies on our Services, please visit the DAA’s opt-out page https://optout.aboutads.info. You may also opt out of additional third-party advertising networks by going to the Network Advertising Initiative’s website https://thenai.org/ and following the directions.
The opt-outs described above are device-and browser-specific and may not work on all devices. If you choose to opt out through any of these opt-out tools, this does not mean you will cease to see advertising. Rather, the ads you will see will just not be based on your interests. In addition, when you opt out of using one of these methods, our Ad Partners will continue to collect information for any other purpose permitted by the DAA’s rules. You can opt out of future information collection from our Services by ceasing use of the Services.
Please note that this Privacy Statement does not cover the practice of our Ad Partners. Nexeo Plastics does not have control over these third-party technologies, or the information contained in them.

We encourage parents to take an active role in their children’s online activities and to talk with their children about disclosing personally identifiable information to websites. If a parent or guardian becomes aware that his or her child under 13 has provided Personal Information to us, we encourage the child’s parent or guardian to contact us through the options provided in the Contact Us section below to request that we remove the information from our systems.
