Information collected automatically is used only to identify potential cases of abuse and establish statistical information regarding Website usage. This statistical information is not otherwise aggregated in such a way that would identify any user of the system.

Collection of personal information

ARDEX Construction Inc., collects information from you through:

• Your participation in ARDEX Construction Inc., sweepstakes, contests or research studies;
• Uploads or posts to the Services;
• Requests for customer support or technical assistance.

We will retain and use your Personal Information for the period necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.
