Welcome to the FloWorks International LLC (“FloWorks”, “us”, “we” or “our”) Website. This site is made available by FloWorks, for its benefit and that of its subsidiary and affiliate companies and any business units associated with it by virtue of the fact they are in the same common ownership. We are committed to protecting your personal information and your right to privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how your personal information is collected, used, and disclosed by FloWorks as part of the normal operation of the Website.
IMPORTANT NOTE: By accessing or using the Website, you expressly consent to our collection, use, and disclosure of your personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy is incorporated into and subject to our Terms of Use. People who visit the Website are referred to as “Visitors.” All other capitalized terms have the meaning ascribed to them in the Website Terms of Use.
When reading through this Privacy Policy please read the entire contents and do not rely on headings, which are illustrative of some but not all of the contents and should not be read so as to limit any of the terms and conditions detailed below each heading.
We collect information that you provide directly to us, such as when you fill out forms, from our Careers page, make a purchase from our supply site or contact us. These include such things as name, phone number, mailing address, email address, login credentials (e.g., ID), order information, and payment information from Visitors who access data (e.g., product catalogs, line cards, etc.) and/or place orders via the Website (“Customers”). We collect information contained on resumes (“Applicants”) voluntarily uploaded or sent by Applicants, as well as any information or documentation sent to FloWorks. We also collect information contained on any Content voluntarily uploaded by Customers.
We also collect information such as name, phone number, mailing address, email address, investor status (e.g. “accredited investor,” “qualified institutional buyer,” etc.), credit information, social security number, assets and income from Visitors applying for access to the private financial information portal (the “Secured System”) on the “Investor Relations” page of the Website (“Investors”). We also collect information contained on any documents, including the Secured Website Access Certification form, voluntarily uploaded by Investors. We use any non-public personal information, such as credit information, solely for the purpose of evaluating whether a potential Investor meets the criteria specified in the Secured Website Certification Form, a copy of which may be found at floworkspvf.com.
We use certain third-party payment processors (“Payment Processors”) to process personal financial information such as name, phone number, address, zip code, and credit card or bank account information for the purposes of allowing Customers to purchase various items via the Website, including but not limited to, via the “Storefront Login” page of the Website (collectively, the “Online Purchases”). This information is provided directly to such Payment Processors by Customers, and FloWorks does not store this information on its servers or computer systems. Such information is used solely for the purpose of allowing Customers to make Online Purchases.
We also collect personal information (such as contact information) when Visitors provide or request information via the Website. FloWorks will use such personal information for a number of purposes including responding to requests for information. FloWorks will also compile data based on responses received from Visitors in order to allow FloWorks to analyze the experience of Visitors so that FloWorks can improve the services that FloWorks currently offers and to allow FloWorks to predict future services that FloWorks may consider offering. The data which FloWorks compiles from responses received from Visitors to the Website may also be shared with third parties for the same purposes, but the information shared includes no personal identifiable data, so your name and personal information is not provided to such merchants. Visitors that provide or request information via the Website are deemed to agree to this use of data and to consent to receive a response from FloWorks to the email address or other contact information provided to FloWorks. Note that requesting information, such as using the “Contact” or “Investor Relations” page of the Website, will not confer any right to receive a response. Any requests for information may be responded to entirely in the discretion of FloWorks and there is no obligation on the part of FloWorks to respond or to provide any information.
Finally, even if you only browse through the Website and read the information contained on the web pages, FloWorks will nevertheless gather certain information about your visit automatically.

The Website automatically gathers your IP address when you use any portion of the Website. It also may collect the name and URL of the Website that you visited immediately preceding your visit to the Website. FloWorks may use this type of non-personal information on a cumulative basis to better understand what pages Visitors and prospective customers access or visit, and FloWorks may disclose this information to business and trade partners as well as companies affiliated with FloWorks.
