For the purposes of applicable data protection law, LiNova Energy Inc. is the controller of your personal information described in this Privacy Policy.

Because we are headquartered in California and our Site may be accessed by California residents, we provide additional California privacy disclosures in this Policy. If we deploy technologies that record, monitor, or analyze visitor interactions, we will provide notice and obtain consent where required before those technologies collect information.

2.4 Profiling and Automated Analysis
We may use limited automated processing of usage data (such as page visits, interaction patterns, and aggregated analytics) to evaluate how visitors interact with our Site and to improve its functionality. This processing does not involve automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects on individuals.

• Responding to inquiries — to reply to messages, questions, or partnership requests you submit via the Site or by email

• Business development — to evaluate potential commercial relationships and follow up with interested parties

We do not use your personal information to serve third-party advertisements, and we do not sell your personal information to any third party.

4. Legal Basis for Processing (EEA/UK/Switzerland)
GDPR / UK GDPR — APPLIES TO EEA, UK & SWISS RESIDENTS
If you are located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, we rely on the following legal bases under the GDPR (or applicable equivalent legislation) to process your personal data.
 
4.1 Legitimate Interests 
We process automatically collected data (analytics, IP addresses, usage data) based on our legitimate interest in understanding how our Site is used and maintaining its security. We consider this processing proportionate because it is limited to technical and usage-related data, does not involve sensitive categories of personal data, and is subject to safeguards such as aggregation, access controls, and data minimization.

We have assessed that this processing does not override your fundamental rights and freedoms.

4.2 Contract / Pre-Contractual Steps 
When you submit a contact inquiry, we process your personal data to respond to your request and take steps toward a potential business relationship at your initiative.

4.3 Consent 
Where we rely on consent — for example, to send marketing communications or to set non-essential cookies — we will request your consent clearly and separately. You may withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing prior to withdrawal.

4.4 Legal Obligation 
We may process personal data where necessary to comply with a legal obligation to which we are subject.

5. How We Share Your Information
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We may share information only in the limited circumstances described below:

5.1 Service Providers
We share information with trusted third-party vendors who assist in operating the Site and our communications. These include:

• Wix.com Ltd. — our website hosting and infrastructure platform. Wix processes usage and contact data on our behalf as a data processor. See Wix's privacy policy at wix.com/about/privacy.

• Email service providers — used to receive and manage inquiry submissions.

• Analytics providers — used to understand aggregate Site usage (data is not used to identify individuals for advertising purposes).

• Interaction technology providers — if used, providers of chat, session replay, form analytics, search analytics, pixels, tags, or similar technologies that help us understand how visitors use the Site. We will identify and configure these tools in accordance with applicable consent requirements.

 
All service providers are required to process your information only on our behalf and in accordance with our instructions and applicable data protection law.

5.2 Legal and Safety Disclosures
We may disclose personal information if required to do so by law or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) comply with a legal obligation or valid legal process; (b) protect the rights, property, or safety of LiNova Energy, our team, or others; or (c) detect, prevent, or address fraud or security issues.

5.3 Business Transfers
In connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets, personal information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will provide notice before personal information is transferred and becomes subject to a materially different privacy policy.

5.4 With Your Consent
We may share your information for any other purpose with your explicit consent.

6. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

6.1 What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website. They allow the site to remember your preferences and understand how visitors interact with the content.

6.2 Types of Cookies We Use

• Strictly Necessary Cookies — Required for the Site to function. These cannot be disabled. They include session management and security cookies set by our hosting platform (Wix).

• Analytics Cookies — Help us understand how visitors use the Site (pages visited, bounce rates, session duration). Data is aggregated and not used to identify individuals for advertising. These are set with your consent where required by law.

• Preference Cookies — Remember settings such as language or display preferences to improve your experience.

 
6.3 Third-Party Cookies
Our hosting platform (Wix) and any third-party analytics tools may set their own cookies. We do not control these cookies directly; please refer to the relevant provider's privacy documentation.

We do not use cookies or similar technologies to serve third-party behavioral advertising unless this Policy and our consent controls are updated to disclose that practice and provide any legally required choices.

6.4 Managing Cookies
You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Please note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of certain parts of our Site. Where required by law, we provide a consent management mechanism allowing you to accept or reject non-essential cookies and update your preferences at any time. For guidance, visit allaboutcookies.org or your browser's help documentation.

6.5 California Recording & Interaction Monitoring Disclosure (CIPA)
Certain technologies that we may use — including session replay tools, chat features, form analytics, pixels, tags, search analytics, or similar technologies — may record, capture, transmit, or analyze your interactions with the Site, such as mouse movements, clicks, scrolling, keystrokes, search terms, chat messages, or information entered into forms.

Under California law, these activities may be alleged to involve the recording, interception, or capture of electronic communications, particularly when data is transmitted to or accessed by a third-party provider. Where such technologies are used, we will provide clear, conspicuous notice and obtain your prior express consent before recording, capture, or transmission begins. Consent will not be inferred solely from continued browsing or from this Privacy Policy. If consent is not provided, we will not activate non-essential recording, capture, or interaction-monitoring technologies for that visitor, although strictly necessary Site functions may still operate.

EEA / UK VISITORS
Where required by applicable law, we will request your consent before placing non-essential cookies. You may withdraw that consent at any time using the cookie preferences control on this Site or through your browser settings.
 
7. Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, to satisfy our legitimate business needs, or to comply with applicable legal obligations.

• Inquiry and contact data — retained for a period of up to 3 years from last meaningful contact, or longer if an active business relationship exists

• Analytics and usage data — retained in aggregated or anonymized form for up to 26 months, in line with standard analytics retention practices

• Legal records — retained as required by applicable law (which may be longer than the above periods)

​

We securely delete or anonymize data when no longer needed.

8. International Data Transfers
LiNova Energy is based in California, United States. Our website is hosted by Wix, which operates servers in multiple countries. If you access our Site from the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in the United States or other countries whose data protection laws may differ from those in your jurisdiction.
 
EEA / UK RESIDENTS
Where we transfer personal data outside the EEA or UK, we rely on appropriate safeguards, including Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission, or other lawful transfer mechanisms. Our hosting provider, Wix, participates in recognized data transfer frameworks. You may request information about the specific safeguards in place by contacting us at the address in Section 14.

9.2 California Residents 
LiNova Energy is headquartered in California. At this time, we do not believe we are subject to the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act, because we do not meet the applicable statutory thresholds. If that changes, we will update this Policy to provide any required California privacy disclosures and rights. Regardless of CCPA applicability, we do not sell personal information for money, and we do not use personal information for third-party behavioral advertising. California residents may contact us with privacy questions using the details in Section 14. Where required by other California laws, including laws governing recording or interception of electronic communications, we will provide notice and obtain consent before using technologies that record or capture Site interactions.
 
10. Children's Privacy
Our Site is intended for business audiences and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of 16. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under 16 without appropriate consent, we will take steps to delete that information promptly. If you believe we may have collected information from a child under 16, please contact us using the contact details in Section 14.

11. Security
We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information against accidental loss, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Our website is hosted on the Wix platform, which maintains industry-standard security infrastructure including SSL/TLS encryption for data in transit.

While we take reasonable precautions, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of information transmitted to or from our Site.

In the event of a data breach that is likely to result in a high risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify you and, where required, the relevant supervisory authority in accordance with applicable law.

12. Third-Party Links
Our Site may contain links to third-party websites, publications, or resources that are not operated or controlled by LiNova Energy. This Privacy Policy applies solely to our Site. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of any third-party site, and we encourage you to review the privacy policies of any websites you visit.

13. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or other factors. When we do, we will revise the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page.

For material changes, we will take reasonable steps to provide notice — for example, by posting a prominent notice on our Site or contacting you directly if we hold your contact information. We encourage you to review this Policy periodically to stay informed about how we are protecting your information.

Your continued use of the Site after any changes to this Policy constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms.
