Information Collected by Ingram's Water & Air Equipment

Ingram’s Water & Air Equipment uses information that we collect from our visitors and our customers to improve your experience when using our Website. We gather two types of information: personal information and anonymous information. Personal information is gathered when an individual identifies, directly or indirectly, their name, postal address, email address and/or telephone number. Anonymous information is collected when an individual discloses data that will not directly identify an individual.

We collect the following categories of information:

  • First name, last name, and email address when customers register an account on our Website.

  • Billing address relevant to payment information, shipping address for goods delivery, and telephone number when customers purchase a product our service.

  • Personal information when private individuals transmit a resume directly to Ingram’s Water & Air Equipment or through a third-party website as part of a job application. This typically includes the first name, last name, current address, contact telephone number, and references of the private individual.

  • Any information voluntarily transmitted either one-to-one or within a limited group directly to an Ingram’s Water & Air Equipment representative(s) via SnapEngage chat, specific product review, purchase process review, or email in situations in which we are legally allowed by law to collect said information.

  • Other information voluntarily provided to the company through social networking sites as part of a promotion or discount/rebate program.

  • Location information may be collected when consumers visit our Website via a mobile device interacting with the Website or associated with your IP address where we are permitted by law to process this information.

  • Usage, viewing and technical data, including your device identifier or IP address, when you visit our Website, use our applications on third-party sites or platforms, or open emails we send.

Information We Do Not Collect

Ingram’s Water & Air Equipment purposefully does not collect, store, or record by any means unique financial information like a customer’s credit card or debit card account number. Though a customer may use this information to procure goods via our Website, we use a secure order form which transmits the data directly to the relevant issuing company for authorization. If you provide this information to an Ingram’s Water & Air Equipment representative over the phone, the representative uses the same technology to transmit the information and does not record the information in any other format. 

At no point in the process is your information catalogued or stored by Ingram’s Water & Air Equipment, either physically or electronically, for any reason whatsoever. We do this to ensure the security of our customers against credit card fraud and identity theft.

If you receive an email from someone claiming to be an Ingram’s Water & Air Equipment representative asking for specific financial information (i.e. - a credit card or debit card account number), do not provide that information via email. Instead, contact Ingram’s Water & Air Equipment at 1-270-575-9595 and report the request immediately.

  • IWAE collects information from customers when they voluntarily or directly provide it through requests for products, product information, company services, account registration on our Website, consumer survey responses, public forum responses, or otherwise interact with us using one or more electronic devices. All the information we collect via those means are covered by this Privacy Policy. Any information transmitted to us through a third-party is also subject to the third-party’s privacy policy. Any privacy choices you or the third-party specify may not apply to our use of the information collected directly through our applications.

  • IWAE collects information from customers voluntarily and indirectly when they utilize technology such as cookies, Flash cookies and Web beacons, including when you visit our Website and applications or use our applications on third-party sites or platforms using one or more devices.
