Generic Privacy Policy
This online privacy policy (“Policy”), effective October 1, 2022, applies to information collected through Freon Service and its Subsidiaries’ (Freon Service) websites, social media outlets, and/or online services on which it is posted, but only to extent that Freon Service has control over such information. Some, but not necessarily all, of the information we collect may be “personal information”—information that identifies you personally.
As legally defined, “personally identifiable information” refers to details collected on the Internet about an individual consumer, including an individual’s first and last name, a physical street address, an email address, a telephone number, a Social Security number, or any other information that permits a specific individual to be contacted physically or online. The term extends to details such as a person’s birthday, height, weight, or hair color that are collected online and stored by an operator in a personally identifiable form.
This Policy may be supplemented, amended, or even replaced by additional privacy notices (“Privacy Notices”), typically provided at the time we collect your information. We reserve the right to update or modify the Policy or any Privacy Notice at any time without prior notice.
By using this site, social media outlet, or online service you are consenting to the collection, use, disclosure, and transfer of your information as described in this Policy (and any applicable Privacy Notices). If you do not consent to such use you may not use this site, feed, or service.
This Policy is part of our Terms of Use that govern the use of our site, social media feed, or online service.

We may provide functionality that encourages you to automatically post information to a third-party social media platform (such as Facebook or Yelp) and such information may include your location, name, purchases, and /or social media identity.
