Privacy Policy

Effective Date: January 1, 2020

Last Updated: January 20, 2026

The Adhesive and Sealant Council, Inc. (“ASC,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), the owner of this website, respects your privacy and is committed to protecting it.
This Privacy Policy explains how information is handled in connection with www.adhesives.org (the “Site”, “adhesives.org”).

 

1. Scope of This Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy applies only to activities that occur directly on adhesives.org.

Important: ASC does not directly collect personal information through forms, registrations, purchases, or account creation on
adhesives.org (other than the automatically collected technical information described below).

When you choose to register for events, purchase products or publications, create or manage an account, enroll in training, or complete related
actions, you may be directed via hyperlink to ascouncil.org, which is operated by ASC and governed by its own privacy policy
and terms. Any personal information you provide on ascouncil.org is collected and processed solely under that site’s privacy
policy, not this one.

 

2. Information Automatically Collected on adhesives.org

When you visit the Site, we may automatically collect limited technical information, including:

  • IP address and general geographic location (city/state level)
  • Browser type, device type, and operating system
  • Pages visited and referring URLs
  • Date and time of access
  • Cookie and session identifiers

This information is collected automatically through standard website technologies and is used only in aggregated or operational form to operate
and improve the Site.

 

3. Cookies, Analytics & Website Technologies

adhesives.org may use standard website technologies (such as cookies and analytics tools) to maintain functionality, understand traffic, and
improve performance.

These technologies are used to:

  • Maintain website functionality
  • Understand website traffic and usage trends
  • Improve content and performance

These tools do not:

  • Record keystrokes
  • Capture form inputs beyond what a user submits
  • Record audio or video
  • Intercept or record the contents of communications

You may manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect certain Site features.

 

4. California Invasion of Privacy Act (CIPA) Notice

ASC does not intercept, record, or eavesdrop on confidential communications on adhesives.org, as defined under the California Invasion of
Privacy Act (Cal. Penal Code § 630 et seq.).

Specifically:

  • No session replay software is used
  • No keystroke logging technologies are deployed
  • No communications are recorded through the Site
  • Analytics are limited to non-content, technical data

By using the Site, you consent to the use of standard website technologies described in this Privacy Policy.

 

5. Links to Other ASC Websites

adhesives.org contains links to other ASC-operated websites, including ascouncil.org. Once you leave adhesives.org,
this Privacy Policy no longer applies. We encourage you to review the privacy policy posted on ascouncil.org before providing any personal
information.

 

6. California Consumer Privacy Rights (CCPA/CPRA)

Because adhesives.org does not directly collect personal information through user input, most California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA)
rights are not triggered by activities on this Site alone.

Any CCPA/CPRA rights related to event registration, purchases, accounts, training, or certification apply to data collected on
ascouncil.org and should be exercised in accordance with that site’s privacy policy.

For general privacy inquiries, you may contact ASC here: https://www.ascouncil.org/contact-us

 

7. Data Retention & Security

Automatically collected technical information is retained only as long as necessary for legitimate operational and analytical purposes. ASC
maintains reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect this information.

 

8. Children’s Privacy

adhesives.org is intended for professional and business audiences. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

 

9. Updates to This Policy

ASC may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
