It is designed to comply with internationally recognized privacy standards, including the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the Canadian Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), the Philippines Data Privacy Act of 2012 (RA 10173), and the California Consumer Privacy Act / California Privacy Rights Act (CCPA/CPRA), to the extent each applies.

3. Information We Collect
We collect personal information in three ways:
- Information you provide — name, email, phone, organization, country, and any message content you submit through our contact, partnership, dealer, or publication-request forms.
- Information collected automatically — device and browser type, IP address, referring URL, pages viewed, and approximate location, collected via cookies and similar technologies (see Section 8).

We do not knowingly collect special categories of personal data (e.g., health, biometric, or genetic information) through this Site. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 16.

5. How We Share Information
We do not sell personal information. We share it only with:
- Service providers — hosting, analytics, email delivery, and CRM vendors acting under written instructions and confidentiality obligations.
- Project partners — only with your consent, and only as necessary for the inquiry or partnership you have initiated (e.g., ATI, UPLB, FluidExponents, LGUs, or accredited dealers).
- Affiliates within the 4G group of companies, located in Canada, Taiwan, the Philippines, and Ghana.
- Authorities — where required by law, court order, or to protect rights, safety, or property.
- Successors — in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or reorganization, subject to confidentiality.
6. International Transfers
Because we operate across multiple continents, your personal information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in countries outside your country of residence, including Canada, Taiwan, the Philippines, and Ghana. Where required, we rely on lawful transfer mechanisms such as the EU Standard Contractual Clauses, adequacy decisions, or your explicit consent, and we apply appropriate technical and organizational safeguards.
7. Data Retention
We retain personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, to satisfy applicable legal, accounting, or reporting requirements, and to resolve disputes. Inquiry records are typically retained for up to 24 months. Contractual records are retained for the duration of the relationship plus the applicable statutory limitation period.
8. Cookies & Similar Technologies
We use cookies and similar technologies to:
- operate essential Site functionality (strictly necessary cookies);
- remember preferences (functional cookies);
- understand aggregate traffic and improve content (analytics cookies).
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect your experience on the Site. Where required by law, we obtain your consent before setting non-essential cookies.
9. Security
We maintain administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. No method of transmission or storage is, however, 100% secure.
