2. Information We Collect

We collect only the information needed to operate our Site, respond to inquiries, deliver services, and comply with legal obligations. We do not collect Social Security numbers, government identification, financial account details, health information, or other sensitive categories of personal information through the Site.

​

2.1 Information You Provide Directly

When you contact us through the Site or otherwise communicate with us, you may provide:

​

• Identifying information: name, company name, job title.

• Contact information: email address, telephone number, and the country you are writing from.

​​

2.2 Information Collected Automatically

When you visit the Site, certain technical information is collected automatically by our hosting platform (Wix) and, where applicable, by analytics providers we engage. This includes:

​​

We currently rely on Wix Analytics for basic site metrics. We anticipate implementing Google Analytics, Meta (Facebook/Instagram), and LinkedIn pixels in the near future to better understand audience interests and the effectiveness of our communications. When these are activated, we will update this Policy and our cookie banner accordingly.

​

2.3 Information We Do Not Knowingly Collect

Our Site is intended for business and professional audiences and is not directed at children under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 16. If you believe a minor has provided us with personal information, please contact us using the details in Section 12, and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.

​

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes, and only when we have a lawful basis to do so:

​

• Responding to inquiries, requests for proposals, and questions submitted through the Site or by email.

• Providing consulting services, technical engineering support, training, and related services.

• Sending you administrative communications, such as confirmations and updates about services or projects.

• Sending newsletters, technical updates, and marketing communications when you have opted in to receive them. You may withdraw consent at any time (see Section 8).

• Improving the Site, content, and overall user experience based on aggregated, non-identifying analytics.

• Protecting the security and integrity of the Site and our business, including preventing fraud or misuse.

• Complying with applicable laws, regulations, court orders, or other legal obligations.

​​

We do not sell your personal information for monetary consideration. We do not engage in profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects on you, and we do not use your information to make automated decisions affecting your rights.

​

4. Legal Bases for Processing

Depending on your jurisdiction and the activity in question, we rely on one or more of the following legal bases:

​

Legal Basis

Consent
When you submit a contact form, subscribe to a newsletter, or accept non-essential cookies. You may withdraw consent at any time.
Performance of a Contract

When processing is necessary to provide consulting or training services you have engaged us for, or to take steps at your request before entering into such an engagement.
Legitimate Interests

To operate, secure, and improve the Site; to respond to professional inquiries; and to communicate with existing business contacts. We balance these interests against your privacy rights.
Legal Obligation

When processing is necessary to comply with applicable laws, including tax, accounting, regulatory, or law-enforcement obligations.

​

5. How We Disclose Information

We do not sell or rent your personal information. We disclose information only in the limited circumstances described below:
 

• Service providers and partners. We share information with trusted third parties who help us operate our business, including our website host (Wix), email and CRM providers, analytics services, and partner companies such as KC Ltd. and Vector Corrosion Technologies when collaborating on a project. These parties are contractually required to protect your information and use it only for the services they provide to us.

• Professional advisors. We may share information with our lawyers, accountants, auditors, and insurers as needed to operate our business.

• Legal and regulatory disclosures. We may disclose information when required by law, court order, subpoena, or other legal process, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of C&C, our clients, or others.

• Business transfers. If C&C is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to the protections of this Policy.

• With your consent. Any other disclosure not described above will only be made with your prior, specific consent.
   

6. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Our Site uses cookies and similar technologies (such as web beacons and pixels) to function properly, remember preferences, and gather aggregate analytics. Cookies fall into the following categories:
 

• Strictly necessary cookies — required for the Site to operate (for example, security and load balancing). These cannot be disabled.

• Analytics cookies — help us understand how visitors interact with the Site so we can improve content and navigation. We currently use Wix Analytics; we plan to add Google Analytics in the future.

• Functional cookies — remember choices you make, such as language preference.

• Marketing/advertising cookies — we plan to deploy Meta and LinkedIn pixels to measure the performance of our communications and reach professional audiences. These will be enabled only after you provide consent through our cookie banner.
   

You can manage cookies through your browser settings or, where available, our on-site cookie preferences tool. Disabling cookies may affect Site functionality. For broader opt-out tools, see the Network Advertising Initiative (optout.networkadvertising.org), the Digital Advertising Alliance (optout.aboutads.info), and the DAA of Canada (youradchoices.ca).
 

7. International Data Transfers

C&C is headquartered in the United States and operates a regional office in Argentina. Our service providers and partners may also be located in Canada, the United States, the European Union, and other countries. As a result, your personal information may be transferred to, stored in, or accessed from countries other than your country of residence.

These countries may have data protection laws that differ from those of your home country. When we transfer personal information internationally, we use appropriate safeguards — such as written contractual commitments and standard data-transfer mechanisms recognized under applicable law — to ensure your information remains protected at a level consistent with this Policy.
 

8. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have some or all of the following rights with respect to your personal information:

​

Right to Know / Access

Request confirmation of whether we process your information and obtain a copy of it.

Right to Correct

Ask us to correct information you believe is inaccurate or incomplete.

Right to Delete

Request deletion of your personal information, subject to legal exceptions.

Right to Opt Out of Sale or Sharing

We do not sell personal information. You may also direct us not to share your information for cross-context behavioral advertising. The “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link in our Site footer allows you to exercise this right.

Right to Limit Use of Sensitive Information

Request that we limit the use of any sensitive personal information, where applicable.

Right to Withdraw Consent

Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw it at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

Right to Non-Discrimination

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of these rights.

Right to Appeal

If we deny your request, you may appeal our decision (residents of certain U.S. states, including Texas).
 

To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details in Section 12. We will respond within the timeframes required by applicable law (typically 45 days for U.S. state laws, with possible extension). We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling your request. You may also designate an authorized agent to act on your behalf.
 

If you are a California resident, you have specific rights under the CCPA/CPRA, including the rights described above. If you are a Texas resident, you have rights under the TDPSA. Residents of other U.S. states with comprehensive privacy laws (including Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, and others) have similar rights.

​

9. Marketing Communications

We may send commercial electronic communications (such as newsletters and promotional emails) only to recipients who have provided consent or with whom we have an existing business relationship, in accordance with the U.S. CAN-SPAM Act and other applicable laws.

​

Every marketing email we send will include a clear way to unsubscribe. You can also opt out at any time by emailing us at the address in Section 12. Unsubscribing from marketing emails will not affect transactional or service-related messages necessary to respond to your inquiries.

​

10. How We Protect Your Information

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information against loss, theft, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. These safeguards include access controls, encryption in transit (HTTPS/TLS), confidentiality obligations on staff and partners, and the security infrastructure of our hosting platform.

No method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is completely secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security. If we become aware of a security breach affecting your personal information, we will notify you and the relevant regulators as required by applicable law.

​

11. How Long We Keep Information

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including:

​

• Inquiry data: typically up to 24 months after our last contact, unless an active engagement requires longer retention.

• Client records: for the duration of our engagement and for the period required by tax, accounting, and contractual obligations (generally up to 7 years under U.S. law).

• Newsletter subscriptions: until you unsubscribe.

• Analytics data: in aggregated, non-identifying form, and as set by the retention configuration of each analytics tool.

​​

When information is no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymize it.
