Solinftec is committed to protecting and respecting your privacy. In this privacy policy ("Privacy Policy"), we explain how Solinftec collects, uses, discloses and protects the Personal Information you submit to us, including, for example, when accessing and using Solinftec websites or applying for job offerings.
As used in this Privacy Policy,
- “Applicable Data Privacy Laws” may include any U.S. privacy, security, breach notification, or other data protection laws applicable to Personal Information, including but not limited to the California Consumer Privacy Act, Cal. Civ. Code 1798.100 et seq (“CCPA”).
- “Affiliate” means any entity which directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with the subject entity; and "control" for the purposes of this definition means direct or indirect ownership or control of more than 50% of the voting interest of the subject entity, provided that any such Affiliate shall be deemed an Affiliate only for so long as such control lasts.

- “Solinftec Platform” means any software and hardware that enables Solinftec to provide our customers and their business partners with access to and use of the Solinftec services, including Solinftec websites and Solinftec web and mobile applications.
- “Controller” or “Processor” (as applicable) is Tecsoil USA, Inc. (dba “Solinftec”), 3000 Kent Avenue, West Lafayette, IN 47906, USA.
- “Personal Information” generally has the same meaning as personal data or personal identifiable information (PII). Personal Information is defined in the data privacy laws applicable in your country. It includes any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. This means any individual who can be identified directly or indirectly by reference to an identifier such as name, identification number, location data, online identifiers (for example, IP addresses – if they can be used to identify you) or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person. Put simply, this includes data which either by itself or with other data held by us or available to us, can be used to identify you.
Solinftec's role
Solinftec is acting in the capacity of Controller when collecting and processing personal data on its own behalf and for its own purposes. This means situations in which Solinftec determines the purposes and the means of such processing at its own discretion.
For certain services, Solinftec may be retained by our customers to process personal data as a Processor. In such cases, Solinftec shall process your personal data on behalf of and based on the specific instructions given by our customer as the Controller. The subject-matter and duration of the processing, the nature and purposes of the processing, the type of personal data and categories of data subjects, together with the rights and obligations of the parties with respect to such processing will be covered by a data processing agreement (or equivalent terms) agreed between Solinftec and our customer. For example: Business partners who are invited by Solinftec’s customers to interact with them on the Solinftec Platform should take note that the Solinftec customer is the Controller in relation to the processing of their personal data. As such, business partners are encouraged to connect directly with the respective Solinftec customer to find out how their personal data is processed on the Solinftec Platform.
Solinftec is committed to the following key principles:
