Privacy Policy
Effective date: August 25, 2026
Stauffer-Cisco Supply ("Stauffer-Cisco," "we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect through stauffer-cisco.com (the "Site"), why we collect it, and the choices and rights you have — including additional rights available to visitors located in the European Union, European Economic Area, and United Kingdom ("EU Visitors"). By using the Site, you agree to the practices described here.
This policy covers the Site only. It does not cover information we collect offline, such as by phone or in person, or through third-party sites we merely link to.
Information We Collect
Information you give us. When you use a form on the Site, we collect what you enter:
- Contact form — name, email address, phone number, company name, your message, and any file you choose to attach.
- Newsletter / line card signup — name, email address, and company name.
- Credit application — the business, banking, and trade-reference details you enter are used only to generate a PDF in your own browser. That data is not transmitted to our servers through the Site; it reaches us only if you choose to email us the completed PDF yourself.
Information collected automatically. Like most websites, we and our service providers automatically collect certain technical information when you visit, such as your IP address, browser and device type, operating system, pages viewed, referring page, and approximate location derived from your IP address. This is collected primarily through Google Analytics — see Cookies & Analytics below.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information described above to:
- Respond to inquiries, quote requests, and customer service questions;
- Send product line cards and other materials you've requested;
- Establish and administer business credit accounts;
- Operate, maintain, and secure the Site, including detecting spam and abuse;
- Understand how visitors use the Site so we can improve it; and
- Comply with legal, accounting, and recordkeeping obligations.
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use form submissions for unrelated marketing without your consent.
International Data Transfers
Stauffer-Cisco is based in the United States, and information we collect is processed and stored in the United States. Our service providers, including Google, may also process information in the United States or other countries outside your own. If you are an EU Visitor, this means your information may be transferred to a country that the European Commission has not deemed to offer an equivalent level of data protection. Where this occurs, we rely on appropriate safeguards offered by our service providers, such as Standard Contractual Clauses, to protect your information.
Data Retention
We keep information from contact and newsletter submissions for as long as needed to respond to your inquiry, maintain our business relationship with you, and satisfy legal, accounting, or recordkeeping requirements, after which it is deleted or anonymized. Analytics data collected via Google Analytics is retained according to our Google Analytics account settings.
Your Privacy Rights
All visitors may ask us to access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you by contacting us using the details below.
EU Visitors have additional rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), including the right to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you and receive a copy of it;
- Correct inaccurate or incomplete data (rectification);
- Request deletion of your data (erasure);
- Restrict or object to our processing of your data;
- Receive your data in a portable format (data portability); and
- Withdraw consent at any time, where processing is based on consent.
Our legal basis for processing depends on the context: responding to an inquiry or credit application is based on our legitimate interest in operating our business and taking steps to enter a contract with you; sending line-card materials is based on your consent; and site analytics are based on consent (for EU Visitors) or our legitimate interest in understanding and improving the Site (for other visitors). You may lodge a complaint with your local data protection supervisory authority at any time.
Data Security
We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards, such as encrypted (HTTPS) connections, to protect information submitted through the Site. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Children's Privacy
The Site is intended for business use and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 16. If you believe a child has provided us information, please contact us and we will delete it.
Third-Party Links
The Site may link to third-party websites, such as supplier or partner sites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites, and we encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing information to them.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with a revised effective date. Your continued use of the Site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
