Privacy Policy

Polst Inc. ("POLST," "we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy and is committed to the responsible handling of personal information.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, retain, and protect information obtained through our corporate website at polst.io (the "Website"), including information associated with business inquiries, website analytics, and marketing communications.

This Policy applies to visitors, prospective customers, business contacts, and partners who interact with POLST through the Website. It does not govern the use of POLST software products or customer services, which are subject to separate agreements and applicable privacy notices.

We may collect information you voluntarily provide when contacting POLST, requesting information, scheduling a demonstration, or expressing interest in our products and services. This information may include your name, business email address, telephone number, company, professional title, business interests, and any other information you choose to provide.

When you visit our Website, we and our authorized service providers may also collect certain technical and usage information, including your IP address, browser type, device characteristics, operating system, approximate geographic location, referring website, pages visited, session information, and related technical identifiers.

Subject to applicable law and your privacy choices, we may collect information about how you interact with our Website, including navigation, clicks, scrolling, content engagement, and other interaction data. Certain website analytics technologies may record browsing sessions to help us understand website usability and improve the visitor experience. We take measures intended to prevent personal and sensitive information entered into website forms from being captured in such recordings.

We may also maintain records of business communications, meeting requests, and professional relationships associated with prospective customers and partners.

POLST uses collected information to respond to inquiries, provide requested information, communicate with prospective customers and partners, manage business relationships, evaluate commercial opportunities, analyze website performance, understand visitor engagement, measure marketing effectiveness, improve website functionality, and maintain the security and reliability of our systems.

We may also use information to detect spam, automated activity, fraudulent behavior, security threats, or other misuse of the Website, and to comply with applicable legal obligations.

Where applicable law requires a legal basis for processing personal information, we rely on the basis appropriate to the activity, including consent where required, legitimate business interests where permitted, steps requested before entering into a business relationship, and compliance with legal obligations.

POLST uses cookies and similar technologies to support website functionality, maintain security, measure performance, understand visitor interactions, and evaluate marketing effectiveness.

Cookies are small data files stored on your device. Similar technologies may include browser storage, tracking scripts, pixels, and other technical identifiers.

Certain technologies are necessary for the Website to operate, maintain security, remember consent decisions, and help prevent unauthorized or automated activity. During restricted prelaunch access, essential technologies may also remember a visitor's authorized access status.

Other technologies help us analyze website traffic, understand how visitors navigate and interact with our content, identify usability issues, measure the effectiveness of marketing activities, and understand interest in our products and services.

Some of these technologies are operated by third-party service providers acting on our behalf or providing services to POLST.

POLST provides a simple cookie consent interface through which visitors may select Allow All or Deny.

Selecting Allow All authorizes eligible optional analytics, interaction-measurement, and marketing technologies, subject to applicable law and any overriding privacy restrictions.

Selecting Deny prevents the activation of optional tracking technologies covered by our consent controls while allowing technologies necessary for website operation, security, and other legally permitted essential functions to remain active.

Visitors who decline optional tracking may continue using the Website.

Where applicable law requires consent before nonessential technologies are activated, those technologies will not be enabled without valid authorization. Where applicable law requires more specific consent than our two-option interface provides, we will not activate the affected optional technologies without an appropriate legal basis.

You may change or withdraw your optional tracking consent at any time by selecting Cookie Choices on this page. This will reopen the consent interface. You may also manage certain cookies through your browser settings.

Withdrawing consent does not affect processing that occurred lawfully before withdrawal.

POLST may disclose personal information to authorized service providers that assist with website hosting, infrastructure, security, analytics, website experience measurement, marketing attribution, customer relationship management, business communications, and related operations.

Depending on the services provided, these parties may process technical identifiers, website interaction information, or business contact information necessary to perform their functions. Certain third-party technologies may collect information about activity over time and, depending on their configuration, across websites or online services.

We may also disclose information where required by law, to protect our legal rights or systems, investigate security incidents, or in connection with a legitimate financing, merger, acquisition, restructuring, or other corporate transaction.

POLST does not sell business contact lists or personal information as a commercial product. Where visitors allow optional analytics and marketing technologies, certain third-party tracking may be considered a "sale" or "sharing" of personal information under some privacy laws. Visitors may decline these technologies at any time through Cookie Choices.

Some privacy laws define a sale or sharing of personal information to include certain disclosures to third-party tracking providers, even when no payment is involved. Where such laws apply to POLST and the relevant activity, we will provide the required disclosures and privacy choices.

If we introduce additional advertising or retargeting technologies in the future, we will review and update our privacy disclosures and applicable controls before enabling them.

When you contact POLST or express interest in our offerings, we may use your business contact information to respond to your inquiry, provide relevant information, discuss commercial opportunities, and communicate about our products, services, and company developments.

Where permitted by law, we may send informational or promotional communications to professional contacts. You may unsubscribe from promotional emails using the instructions provided in those communications or by contacting us directly.

POLST retains personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Policy, maintain appropriate business records, comply with legal requirements, resolve disputes, and protect our rights and systems.

Retention periods depend on the nature of the information, its intended use, the status of the relevant business relationship, applicable system configurations, and legal obligations. Website analytics and technical information are retained according to their operational purposes and relevant retention settings.

We use administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards intended to protect personal information against unauthorized access, misuse, alteration, loss, or disclosure. However, no internet transmission or electronic storage system can be guaranteed completely secure.

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights to request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information, to obtain information about how it is processed or disclosed, to object to or restrict certain processing, to withdraw consent, or to opt out of certain legally defined sales, sharing, targeted advertising, or marketing activities.

We review and respond to privacy requests in accordance with applicable law, including any necessary verification requirements and legally permitted exceptions. We will not unlawfully discriminate against individuals for exercising applicable privacy rights.

You may submit requests or questions regarding your personal information by contacting privacy@polst.io.

Certain third-party technologies may collect information about visitor activity over time and, depending on their functionality, across websites or online services.

General browser Do Not Track settings are distinct from legally recognized opt-out preference signals. POLST does not interpret a general Do Not Track signal, by itself, as a request to disable all website analytics.

Where applicable law requires recognition of a qualifying privacy preference signal, including Global Privacy Control, POLST will honor that signal for the processing activities to which the applicable right relates.

Visitors may also use Cookie Choices to manage optional tracking.

POLST is based in the United States. Information collected through the Website may be processed in the United States or in other jurisdictions where authorized service providers operate.

Where applicable international privacy laws require additional safeguards, disclosures, or restrictions, POLST will address those requirements for the relevant processing activities.

The Website is intended for business and professional audiences and is not directed to children under 16 years of age. We do not knowingly solicit personal information from children through the Website. If we become aware of information collected from a child in circumstances requiring action under applicable law, we will take appropriate measures.

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our Website, business practices, technologies, or applicable legal requirements.

Updated versions will be published on this page with a revised effective date. Where required by law, we will provide additional notice of material changes.
