01Introduction
Nortmark Trading LLC (“Nortmark,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a limited liability company based in Austin, Texas, United States. We operate the website located at https://nortmark.com (the “Website”).
The Website is an informational corporate website. It describes our e-commerce and general trading business and provides a way for suppliers, manufacturers, distributors, brands, and other businesses to contact us. The Website does not offer online purchasing, user accounts, or customer logins.
This Privacy Policy applies only to information collected through the Website and through email correspondence initiated from the Website. By using the Website, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
02Information We Collect
We aim to collect only the information needed to operate the Website and respond to business inquiries. This information falls into two general categories:
- Information you choose to provide, such as the details you include when you email us, as described in Sections 3 and 4.
- Technical information processed automatically when your browser requests pages from the Website, as described in Section 5.
We do not ask visitors to create accounts, and we do not collect payment card information through the Website.
03Information You Provide Voluntarily
When you contact us by email, you may choose to share information such as:
- Your name and job title
- Your business email address and other contact details you include
- Your company name and information about your business
- The type of inquiry and the content of your message
- Any attachments you decide to send, such as catalogs, line sheets, or price lists
Providing this information is entirely voluntary. Please share only what is necessary for your inquiry and avoid sending sensitive personal information or confidential documents unless we have specifically discussed it with you.
04Contact Form Information
The contact form on the Website does not transmit information to our servers or to any third-party form service. Instead, when you complete the form and select “Open Email Draft,” the Website uses your device’s standard email (“mailto”) function to open a pre-filled draft message in your own email application, addressed to contact@nortmark.com.
This means:
- The details you type into the form remain in your browser until your email application opens the draft.
- No information is sent to us unless and until you choose to send the email from your email application.
- You can review, edit, or delete the draft before sending it.
- Once you send the email, it is transmitted through your email service provider and received through our email service provider, in the same way as any other email you send.
Form validation, such as checking that an email address appears correctly formatted, takes place only within your browser.
05Automatically Collected Information
The Website itself does not use analytics software, advertising tools, or tracking scripts to monitor visitor behavior. The Website’s fonts, images, and code are served from our own hosting rather than loaded from third-party content networks.
Like virtually all websites, however, the Website is delivered by a hosting and network provider. When your browser requests a page, our hosting provider may automatically process technical information that is necessary to deliver the page and protect the Website, such as:
- Your IP address
- Browser type, device type, and operating system
- The pages or files requested and the date and time of the request
- The referring web address, if your browser provides it
This information is processed in accordance with the hosting provider’s own privacy practices and is used for purposes such as delivering content, maintaining performance, and detecting and preventing security threats or abuse.
07How We Use Information
We use the information described in this Privacy Policy to:
- Read and respond to your inquiries and correspondence
- Evaluate potential supplier, wholesale, sourcing, and other business relationships
- Communicate with you about a business relationship you have asked to discuss
- Operate, maintain, and secure the Website
- Keep reasonable business records
- Comply with applicable laws and respond to lawful requests
We do not sell personal information, and we do not use the information you send us to deliver targeted advertising.
09Data Retention
We keep email correspondence and related business information for as long as it is reasonably needed for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy — for example, while we are discussing or maintaining a business relationship — and as required to meet legal, tax, or accounting obligations.
When information is no longer needed, we take reasonable steps to delete it. Technical information processed by our hosting provider is retained in accordance with that provider’s own policies.
10Data Security
We use reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect the information we receive. The Website is served over an encrypted HTTPS connection.
However, no website, email system, or method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. Standard email is not always encrypted end to end, so please avoid sending highly sensitive information by email.
11Third-Party Websites
The Website or our correspondence may occasionally contain links to websites operated by third parties. We do not control those websites and are not responsible for their content or privacy practices. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any website you visit.
12Children’s Privacy
The Website is intended for business audiences and is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will take reasonable steps to delete it.
13Privacy Rights and Requests
Depending on where you live, you may have rights under applicable law regarding your personal information. These may include the right to request access to the personal information we hold about you, to request correction of inaccurate information, or to request deletion of your information.
Regardless of where you live, you may contact us at contact@nortmark.com to ask what information we hold about you or to request that we update or delete it. We will respond to requests as required by applicable law and may need to verify your identity before acting on a request. We will not discriminate against you for making a privacy request.
14Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time, for example to reflect changes to the Website or our practices. When we do, we will revise the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page. If we make material changes, we will make reasonable efforts to provide notice on the Website. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
