This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) explains how EngineeringPlans.com and their affiliates, subsidiaries, agents and contractors (“We”, “Us”, “Our”) may collect, store, use, share and disclose your PII obtained through your use of the EngineeringPlans.com website located at www.EngineeringPlans.com (“Website”).

Personal information
At times, you may voluntarily give us, or ENGINEERING PLANS will ask you to provide personal information. For example, you will be prompted to supply us with personal information when signing up to use ENGINEERING PLANS, accessing certain features of this website or other ENGINEERING PLANS services or initiating communication through this website or other ENGINEERING PLANS services. We will use your personal information to, among other things, help customize your site experience, enhance our services and facilitate communications with you or between you and the companies that are a part of ENGINEERING PLANS’ database of companies and are listed on this website (“Suppliers”) and any other third parties that advertise on this website or provide services, features or information in connection with this website or to ENGINEERING PLANS (“Providers”).
Sign Up – ENGINEERING PLANS
While you do not need to sign up to use this website, you do need to sign up for an ENGINEERING PLANS account to access certain features. In those instances, you may be asked for personal and demographic information, including your Name, E-mail Address, and Company Name, and you also will be required to choose a username and password. This information will constitute your user profile. While most of your user profile is used internally for site analysis and improvement and other business purposes, some of it is used in compiling reports (see “Reporting” below) for Suppliers, Providers and our affiliates, agents, and contractors and in connection with other ENGINEERING PLANS services. However, except as provided or permitted in this Privacy Policy, ENGINEERING PLANS will not disclose, without your consent, or associate with your site usage, any of your personal contact information provided through your ENGINEERING PLANS account. You may edit or change your user profile at any time by logging into ENGINEERING PLANS. If you wish to delete your user profile, use the “Contact ENGINEERING PLANS ” link and ask that your ENGINEERING PLANS account be deleted.
Control of Your Password
You are responsible for all actions taken with your ENGINEERING PLANS username and password. Therefore, you should not disclose your password to any third parties. If you choose to share your username and password with third parties, you are responsible for all actions taken with your ENGINEERING PLANS account. If you lose control of your password, you may lose control over your information (including but not limited to, the information provided when signing up for an ENGINEERING PLANS account or requesting quotes), data, text, images, graphics, videos, messages, logos or other materials (collectively, “Content”), whether publicly posted on (including any forums or other public areas) or privately transmitted through (whether to us, other users, Suppliers or Providers) this website, and may be subject to legally binding actions taken on your behalf. Therefore, if your password has been compromised for any reason, you should immediately change your password.

When you use the communication features and software applications on this website to initiate contact with Suppliers or Providers, you may be asked to supply contact information required by these companies. Depending on how you wish the Supplier or Provider to respond to your request, you may be asked to provide one or more of the following: Name, Telephone Number, Mailing Address, and E-mail Address. We will only forward a Supplier or Provider the contact information you provide.
Some Suppliers and Providers may make certain services, information, and software applications, such as CAD Drawings, Product Plans, Specifications, Instructions, Evaluation Reports, Test Reports, Product Images, or White Papers, available to the users of this website free of charge. Some of these Suppliers and Providers may require that you provide your contact and personal information in exchange for access to these services, information, and applications.

Once the information has been provided to a Supplier or Provider, it is out of ENGINEERING PLANS’s control and subject to the policies of that Supplier or Provider.
