Our business is the design, build, and supply of lithium-ion battery packs, modules, energy storage systems, battery management systems, thermal management systems, and chargers to business customers.

2. Scope of this policy

This policy applies to personal information we collect through this website (pacific-battery.com), our contact and quote forms, our email correspondence, and related sales and support interactions. It does not apply to third-party websites or services that we link to, even when those services are used alongside ours.

3. Information we collect

We collect the following categories of personal information:

Information you provide directly. When you complete a contact form, request engineering samples, request a quotation, send us an email, or call us, we collect your name, business email address, business phone number, company name, job title (if provided), and the contents of the message or inquiry, including any technical or commercial details you choose to share about your application.

Information collected automatically. When you visit the website, our web server and analytics tools may log your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, referring page, pages viewed, date and time of access, and device identifiers. We use standard web cookies and similar technologies for site functionality, security, and traffic measurement.

Information from third parties. We may receive information about you from data enrichment providers, customer relationship management platforms (for example, HubSpot and Apollo), commercial registries, and publicly available business sources, in order to verify business contacts and understand prospective customers.

We do not knowingly collect sensitive personal information (such as Social Security numbers, precise geolocation, health information, or financial account numbers) through this website. Do not submit such information to us.

4. How we use personal information

We use personal information for the following business purposes:

To respond to your inquiry, provide quotations, schedule engineering calls, supply product datasheets and samples, negotiate agreements, and fulfill orders. To operate, maintain, secure, and improve the website, including measuring traffic and diagnosing technical issues. To comply with legal obligations, enforce our agreements, respond to lawful requests, and protect our rights and the rights of others. To send service-related communications and, with your permission or on a business-to-business basis consistent with applicable law, to send marketing communications that you can opt out of at any time.

5. How we share personal information

We share personal information only in the following circumstances:

Service providers. We use third-party vendors to host our website, manage email, run customer relationship management, enrich contact data, and deliver analytics. These vendors process information under written agreements that restrict use to the services they provide to us. Current providers include, among others, DigitalOcean, Google (Workspace and Analytics), HubSpot, Apollo, and similar U.S.-based business service providers.

Affiliates. We may share information with affiliated entities under common ownership with Current State, LLC, subject to this policy.

Business transfers. If Current State, LLC is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets, personal information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to standard confidentiality protections.

Legal and protective disclosures. We may disclose personal information if we believe in good faith that disclosure is required by law, necessary to respond to lawful requests, required to protect the safety of any person, or necessary to enforce our agreements or protect our rights and property.

With your direction. We may share information as you direct, for example when you ask us to loop in a partner, distributor, or referenced supplier.

We do not sell personal information. We do not sell personal information for money, and we do not share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising, as those terms are defined under California and Nevada law.

6. Cookies and analytics

We use cookies and similar technologies to keep the site functional, remember your preferences, analyze traffic, and improve performance. You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect site functionality.

We use Google Analytics (or an equivalent analytics service) to understand aggregate site usage. You can opt out of Google Analytics using the browser add-on provided at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

We honor Global Privacy Control ("GPC") browser signals where technically feasible. When we receive a GPC signal from a California or Nevada resident, we treat it as an opt-out request to the extent required by applicable law.

7. How long we keep information

We retain personal information for as long as is reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, to operate our business, to comply with our legal and tax obligations, to resolve disputes, and to enforce our agreements. Contact and account records are generally retained for the life of the business relationship plus a commercially reasonable records-retention period thereafter. Analytics logs are retained for a shorter period, typically not exceeding 26 months.

8. Security

We maintain reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information against loss, misuse, unauthorized access, and disclosure. No method of transmission over the internet and no method of electronic storage is one hundred percent secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Your rights — California residents

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (collectively, "CCPA/CPRA"), gives you the following rights regarding personal information that we have collected about you during the preceding twelve months:

The right to know what categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected, the sources, the purposes for which we collected it, and the categories of third parties with whom we have shared it. The right to request that we delete personal information we have collected from you, subject to exceptions permitted by law. The right to request that we correct inaccurate personal information. The right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information. As noted above, we do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. The right to limit the use of sensitive personal information. We do not use sensitive personal information for purposes that trigger this right. The right not to be subject to discrimination for exercising any of these rights.

To exercise your California privacy rights, email us at privacy@pacific-battery.com or use the contact methods in Section 14. We will verify your request by confirming information we already have on file.

10. Your rights — Nevada residents

Under Nevada Revised Statutes Chapter 603A, Nevada residents have the right to direct a covered operator not to make any sale of certain covered personal information that the operator has collected or will collect about them. As stated above, we do not sell personal information as that term is defined under Nevada law. To submit a request in any event, email privacy@pacific-battery.com with the subject line "Nevada Privacy Request" and include your full name, the email address you used to interact with us, and a description of your request.
