Privacy Policy
WHB Engineers (“WHB”) is committed to protecting the privacy of users of the website www.whbengineers.com (the “Website”). This Privacy Policy describes how WHB gathers and uses information about visitors to our Website (“Visitors”). This Privacy Policy applies solely to
the information that we collect through the Website. This Privacy Policy does not address personal information that you provide to us in other contexts (e.g., through a business relationship not handled through the Website). This Website is solely directed to, and intended
for, WHB’s business customers, and not for individuals.
Acceptance of Privacy Policy
By using the Website, you signify your acceptance of this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy, please do not use the Website. Your continued use of the Website following the posting of changes to these terms will mean that you accept those changes.
How Do We Collect Your Personal Information?
Information You Provide. You may visit our Website without telling us anything about yourself. If you contact us and choose to provide personally identifiable information (“Personal Information”), such as your email address or mailing address when you submit a question or
request through our “Contact” page, we will use that information and may share it with other companies and/or individuals (e.g., our partners, consultants, and service providers) for the purpose for which you submitted it to us.
Domain Information. From time to time, our Website may be configured to collect domain information. This data enables us to become more familiar with which users visit our site, how often they visit and what parts of the site they visit most often. WHB uses this information to improve our Website. No personally identifiable information is gathered in this process. This information is collected automatically and requires no action on your part.
How Do We Use Your Personal Information?
If you choose to provide us with Personal Information by completing a form on the Website or emailing us, we will use that Personal Information to (i) operate the Website, (ii) respond to your question or request, (iii) communicate with you about our products or services via email, (iv) send information to you, and (v) notify you of changes to this Privacy Policy.
Do We Disclose Any Personal Information to Outside Parties?
Unless you expressly give us permission in writing to do so, WHB will not sell, rent, license, or trade your Personal Information other than as specified in this Privacy Policy.
Disclosures to Third Parties Assisting In Our Operations. WHB may share your Personal Information under confidentiality agreements with other companies that work with, or on behalf of, WHB to provide products and services. These companies may use your Personal Information to assist WHB in its operations. However, these companies do not have any independent right to share this information.
Disclosures Under Special Circumstances. We may provide information about you to respond to subpoenas, court orders, legal process or governmental regulations, or to establish or exercise our legal rights or defend against legal claims. We believe it is necessary to share
information in order to investigate, prevent or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, or as otherwise required by law. In such circumstances, we will take appropriate measures to ensure that the requester understands the sensitive nature of the Personal Information that they may receive.
Business Transfers. We may share your Personal Information with other business entities in connection with the sale, assignment, merger or other transfer of all or a portion of WHB’s business to such business entity. We will require any such successor business entity to honor the
terms of this Privacy Policy.
Automatically Collected Information and Anonymous Information
Each time a Visitor comes to the Website, WHB collects some information to improve the overall quality of the Visitor’s online experience.
Aggregated Data. WHB collects aggregate queries for internal reporting and also counts, tracks, and aggregates the Visitor’s activity into WHB’s analysis of general traffic-flow at the Website. To these ends, WHB may merge information about you into aggregated group data. In some cases, WHB may remove personal identifiers from Personal Information and maintain it in aggregate form that may later be combined with other information to generate anonymous, aggregated statistical information. Such anonymous, group data may be shared on an aggregated basis with WHB’s affiliates, business partners, service providers and/or vendors; if it does so, WHB will not disclose your individual identity.
Web Server Logs and IP Addresses. An Internet Protocol (“IP”) address is a number that automatically identifies the computer or device you have used to access the Internet. The IP address enables our server to send you the web pages that you want to visit, and it may disclose
the server owned by your Internet Service Provider. WHB may use IP addresses to conduct Website analyses and performance reviews and to administer the Website.
Cookies and Web Beacons. Periodically, some pages on this Website may use “cookies,” which are small files that the site places on your hard drive for identification purposes. These files are used for site registration and customization the next time you visit us.
You should note that cookies cannot read data off of your hard drive. Your web browser may allow you to be notified when you are receiving a cookie, giving you the choice to accept it or not. You can also refuse all cookies by turning them off in your browser. By not accepting cookies, some pages may not fully function and you may not be able to access certain information on this Website.
Information that we collect through cookies includes (i) the name and version of the operating system on the Visitor’s computer, (ii) the name and version of the Visitor’s browser, (iii) which page on the Site the Visitor is currently reading, as well as clicks and time spent on a particular page, (iv) if the Visitor was sent to the current page by some other page on the web, the universal resource locator (“URL”) of the referring web page, and (v) geolocation of the Visitor’s computer or device.
Some of the Site’s web pages may use web beacons in conjunction with cookies to compile aggregate statistics about Site usage. A web beacon is an electronic image (also referred to as an “action tag,” “single-pixel,” or “clear GIF”) that is commonly used to track the traffic patterns of users from one web page to another in order to maximize web traffic flow and to otherwise analyze the effectiveness of the Website. Some web beacons may be unusable if you elect to reject their associated cookies.
Security
The security of your data is very important to WHB. We have implemented appropriate security measures preventing your Personal Information from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorized way, altered or disclosed. However, you should know that no website operator, including WHB, can fully eliminate security risks associated with Personal Information. While WHB has endeavored to create a secure and reliable website for users, the confidentiality of any communication or material transmitted to/from the Website or via e-mail cannot be guaranteed.
Children’s Privacy Protection
Under Age 13 WHB understands the importance of protecting children's privacy in the interactive online world. The Website is not designed for, or intentionally targeted at, children under 13 years of age. It is not our policy to intentionally collect or maintain information about anyone under the age of 13. No one under the age of 13 should submit any Personal Information to WHB or the Website.
Under Age 18 Minors under 18 years of age may have the Personal Information that they have provided to WHB through the Website deleted by sending an email to [info@whbengineers.com] requesting deletion.

that data from all systems.
California Business Contact Information
If you are a California resident and we receive your Personal Information in the form of contact details from business events, for example as part of a business appointment (e.g., by exchanging business cards) or as part of any other form of collaboration, we may use your contact and business details to maintain our business contacts. For this purpose, we may transfer your contact details to our internal database. Pursuant to the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (collectively, “CCPA”), you have privacy rights with respect to your business contact Personal Information.
The processing activity may include the following categories of Personal Information:
● Your contact information (e.g., name, title, form of address or salutation, address, gender, telephone numbers, email address); and
● Details on your profession (e.g., job title, position, personnel number, place of work, branch office, department, qualifications).
This data processing is based on our legitimate business interests. We have a legitimate economic interest in maintaining contacts beyond the initial context and in using them to establish and develop a business relationship and to remain in contact with the parties concerned.
Such business contacts could also be processed in our email communications with you and then kept in typical business software, either centrally or on the electronic devices of our employees. California law provides you with the following rights with respect to your Personal Information:
● The right to know what Personal Information we have collected, used, or disclosed about you.
● The right to request that we delete any Personal Information we have collected about you.
● The right to correct inaccurate Personal Information about you.
● The right to opt out of the sale or sharing of Personal Information about you.
We do not sell or share our Personal Information, as defined by the CCPA.
Submitting Requests
California residents have the right to limit the use of their Sensitive Personal Information. However, that right does not apply because we do not use Sensitive Personal Information for any additional purposes that are incompatible with the purposes listed above, unless we provide you with notice of those additional purposes.
You may submit requests to correct, delete, and know specific Personal Information and/or categories of Personal Information we have collected about you by contacting us at info@whbengineers.com.
California residents may opt out of the sale or sharing of Personal Information by broadcasting an Opt-Out Preference Signal, such as the Global Privacy Control (GPC) (on the browsers and/or browser extensions that support such a signal). To download and use a browser supporting the GPC browser signal, click here: https://globalprivacycontrol.org/orgs. If you choose to use the GPC signal, you will need to turn it on for each supported browser or browser extension you use.
Verification of Your Identity
When you exercise these rights and submit a request to us, we or our partners will verify your identity by asking you to authenticate your identity via standard authentication procedures. For example, we may ask for your email address, order numbers of previous orders of our products and services, full name, street address, or the date of your last purchase from us. We also may use a third-party verification provider to verify your identity.
Non-Discrimination
If you make a request under the CCPA, we will not discriminate against you in any way. For example, we will not deny you goods or services, charge you different prices or rates for goods or services, deny you discounts or other benefits or impose penalties on you, or provide you with or suggest that you will receive a different level or quality of goods or services.

We retain your Personal Information following the end of your services or other business relationship in accordance with applicable law and our data retention and destruction policies.
