Privacy Policy

AdhesiveAdditives.com collects personal data only through its forms, keeps form data for 24 months and runs no analytics or advertising vendors. The forms belong to a reference on adhesive chemicals: the raw materials, additives and chemistries of industrial adhesives.

A contact message stays with the editorial team, a request reaches independent providers and suppliers, and every form writes to the site's own database at its hosting provider, Cloudflare.

Sources and checks: identities and hazard classifications are read at ECHA and the issuing regulator, standards at the body that publishes them, and grade values at the data sheet named next to them; methodology and fact-checking explains each step.

What Personal Data the AdhesiveAdditives.com Forms Collect#

The AdhesiveAdditives.com forms collect only what a reader types into them: a reply email address and the content of the message, request or sign-up. The table below lists each form, what it collects, who receives it and how long the data is kept.

Form What the reader enters Who receives it Kept for
Contact form reply email, optional name, subject, optional page address, message AdhesiveAdditives.com Editorial Team 24 months, then deleted
Adhesive supplier match reply email and a description of the bond: substrates, process and volume independent adhesive suppliers and custom formulators 24 months, then deleted

Compliance review request (end of each adhesive regulation page) reply email, the adhesive, the end use and the market independent compliance consultants and testing laboratories 24 months, then deleted
Newsletter sign-up the sign-up data not forwarded until the reader unsubscribes

No form on AdhesiveAdditives.com accepts a file upload, so no attachment, drawing or data sheet reaches the site through a form. Nothing is collected outside the forms by an analytics or advertising vendor, because the site runs none.

Why Form Data Is Used and Who Receives a Request#

Form data is used only to answer the message or to pass the request to the recipients the form names. A contact message is read by the AdhesiveAdditives.com Editorial Team. A request reaches independent adhesive suppliers and custom formulators, independent suppliers and distributors, independent testing laboratories, or independent compliance consultants and testing laboratories, depending on the form. Each request goes only to the recipient type its own form names.

The site has no partners and ranks no company, so a request does not change what any page says about a supplier. Why no request recipient is a partner is set out in the editorial policy on request disclosure.

Where AdhesiveAdditives.com Stores Form Data#

Every AdhesiveAdditives.com form writes to the site's own database at its hosting provider, Cloudflare, and to no other system.

No mailing-list service, customer relationship management (CRM) tool or form-builder service holds a copy of form data. Because one database holds every record, a question about a record is answered from one place.

How Long Form and Newsletter Data Is Kept#

The 24 months apply to the contact form and the four request forms: the adhesive supplier match, the raw-material quote request, the testing-lab match and the compliance review request.

The 24-month period is the same on every contact and request form, whichever recipient type a request reaches.

No Analytics or Advertising Vendors on AdhesiveAdditives.com#

AdhesiveAdditives.com runs no analytics or advertising vendors, so no reading behavior is passed to a third party for measurement or ads. No listing on the site is paid for, and no advertising profile is built from the pages a reader opens. The site earns by forwarding reader requests to independent providers and suppliers, not by measuring readers.

How to Contact AdhesiveAdditives.com About Your Data#

Questions about the personal data held by AdhesiveAdditives.com go to editorial@adhesiveadditives.com. A question names the form used and the reply email given in it, so the record can be found in the site's database. Three details help the editorial team find a record.

  1. The form used.
  2. The reply email address given in it.
  3. The approximate date of sending.

Email and the contact form are the two routes for data questions, and both reach the same editorial team. Both routes are described on the page to contact the AdhesiveAdditives.com editorial team.

What This Privacy Policy Does Not Cover#

This privacy policy covers the data AdhesiveAdditives.com receives and stores through its own forms. Once a request reaches an independent provider or supplier, that company answers the reader directly, and the site is not party to the reply.

Articles cite issuing bodies such as EUR-Lex, ECHA and eCFR, and a link to one of them leads to that body's own site. This policy describes only AdhesiveAdditives.com and its forms.

Who Publishes This Privacy Policy#

This privacy policy is published by AdhesiveAdditives.com, the site brand, and signed by the AdhesiveAdditives.com Editorial Team. The team answers data questions in its own name at editorial@adhesiveadditives.com, and no individual is named.

Email and the contact form are the publisher's contact routes. Who publishes the reference and what it covers is described on the About AdhesiveAdditives.com page.
