Privacy Policy

ASC Privacy Policy

Our commitment

American Standard Circuits ("ASC") collects some personal information so we can quote, build and ship your boards and support your account. This policy explains what we collect, how we use it, who we share it with, and the choices you have.

By using our website or placing an order, you agree to the practices described here.

How we protect your information

We use administrative, technical and physical safeguards to protect your information against loss, misuse, unauthorized access and alteration.

Our website is encrypted with TLS, so the information you send us is protected in transit. You can confirm this by checking for the padlock or "https" in your browser's address bar. 

What we collect

We collect the information you give us and some information collected automatically when you use our site.

• Contact details: name, company, mailing and shipping address, phone number and email
• Account details: your login and account preferences
• Order details: quotes, order history, and the design files, drawings and specifications you upload
• Website data: cookies, IP address, browser type and the pages you visit

How we use your information

We use your information to:

• Quote, manufacture and ship your order
• Manage your account and contact you about orders or questions about your files
• Improve our website and personalize repeat visits
• Send newsletters, offers and product updates, if you agree to receive them
• Meet tax, quality and export control requirements

For visitors in the EU and UK, we process your information under the GDPR based on the performance of our contract with you, our legitimate interests in running and improving our business, your consent for marketing, and our legal obligations.

Who we share it with

We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with companies that help us run our business and fulfill your order, and they may use it only for that work. These include:

• Payment processors, such as PayPal, to process payments
• Our email platform
• Shipping carriers, such as UPS and FedEx, to deliver your order
• Manufacturing and assembly partners, to complete work you request
• ASC affiliated companies, to fulfill orders and, with your consent, offer related products and services
• Website, hosting and analytics providers, to run and improve our site

We may also disclose information when required by law, to protect our rights, or as part of a merger, acquisition or sale of assets.

How long we keep it

We keep your information while your account is active and for as long as we need it for warranty, quality, tax and export control records. You can remove information through your account at any time, or ask us to delete it, and we will remove anything we are not legally required to keep.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

• Know what personal information we hold about you and get a copy
• Correct information that is inaccurate
• Have your information deleted
• Restrict or object to how we process it
• Receive your information in a portable format
• Withdraw consent to marketing at any time

Visitors in the EU and UK have these rights under Chapter 3 of the GDPR (https://gdpr-info.eu/chapter-3/). Residents of California and other US states with privacy laws may have similar rights. To make a request, contact us using the details below. We will not treat you differently for exercising your rights.

Email from ASC

With your consent, we send occasional emails with product news, helpful PCB information and updates to your account or our website. Every marketing email includes an unsubscribe link at the bottom.

If you plan to order from us, please keep receiving our transactional emails. That is how we send order confirmations, shipping updates and questions about your files.

We do not send unsolicited commercial email. 

Cookies

Our site uses cookies, small text files stored in your browser, to keep you signed in, remember your cart, recognize repeat visitors and understand how the site is used. Some cookies come from analytics and advertising partners, such as Google, that help us measure site traffic and the performance of our ads.

You can accept, block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may keep parts of the site, such as ordering, from working properly.

xport control and ITAR

ASC has no control over, or knowledge of, how you use our printed circuit boards and other products. Our products may be subject to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), administered by the U.S. Department of State, and to other U.S. export control laws.

By ordering from ASC, you agree to comply with this policy and all applicable U.S. export control laws and regulations, including ITAR. You agree not to transfer any export-controlled item to a foreign person without the required export license, agreement, exemption or exception from the proper government authorities.

If you export or manufacture defense articles or provide defense services, you represent and warrant to ASC that you are registered with the proper government authorities as required by ITAR and other applicable laws. You are responsible for all liabilities and expenses related to your compliance or non-compliance with this section, and you agree to indemnify ASC against all costs and expenses arising from third-party claims caused by your non-compliance.

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will post the new version here and update the date below.
