1Who operates the website
The website is operated under the trading name ALC-Scientific. The verified privacy contact is info@alcscientific.com and the verified telephone/WhatsApp number is +91 89501 26206.
Privacy requests may be submitted through the contact details below. Please provide enough information to identify the relevant enquiry or transaction without sending unnecessary sensitive information.
2Information collected
The website collects information that a person enters into quote, contact, OEM and multi-product enquiry forms. The current forms and server endpoint may collect:
- Name, company or institution, phone number and email address.
- Product interest, selected quote-list products, quantity, application, requested specifications, standards or tender clauses, installation location, utilities, procurement deadline, communication preference, existing references and message.
- Source page, full source URL, referring page, theme preference and campaign parameters such as UTM source, medium and campaign.
- IP address, browser or device user-agent information, submission timestamp and a unique enquiry identifier.
- Information later supplied through email, phone, WhatsApp, quotation, order, warranty or support communications.
The website does not currently provide customer accounts, online payment, public file-upload fields or an online checkout. Supporting documents are exchanged only through a separately agreed channel after acknowledgement. The site does not intentionally request health records, patient identifiers, passwords or payment-card data.
3How information is obtained
Information is obtained directly from website forms, quote-list selections, email, phone, WhatsApp, order and support communications. Basic technical and source information is generated when a form is submitted. Business partners, manufacturers, logistics providers or institutional buyers may provide contact information where necessary for a legitimate transaction or support request.
4Purposes of processing
Information is used only for legitimate operational purposes such as:
- Responding to product, quotation, OEM, distributor, installation and support enquiries.
- Preparing and discussing quotations, configurations, orders, delivery, installation, warranty and service.
- Maintaining transaction, tax, support, quality, security and dispute records.
- Preventing duplicate submissions, spam, abuse, fraud and security incidents.
- Understanding the source and context of an enquiry and improving website usability.
- Sending marketing or follow-up communications only where permitted and appropriate; optional marketing should not be bundled with necessary enquiry processing.
5Consent and other lawful processing
The current forms use a clear checkbox to confirm that the person has read this Privacy Policy and agrees to processing of the submitted information for the enquiry. The checkbox is not preselected.
Information may also be processed where a person voluntarily provides it for a requested quotation, order or support purpose, where needed to perform or prepare a contract, comply with law, protect systems, address a claim or pursue another lawful use permitted by applicable Indian law.
Consent can be withdrawn for future optional processing by contacting ALC-Scientific. Withdrawal does not invalidate processing already carried out and may not require deletion where retention is necessary for a transaction, legal obligation, security or claim.
6Cookies and browser storage
The website currently uses only functional browser storage and does not use advertising or analytics cookies.
The website uses browser storage for functional purposes:
| Storage item | Purpose | Typical duration |
|---|---|---|
| Theme preference | Keeps the selected light or dark appearance. | Until cleared by the user or replaced. |
| Quote-list items | Keeps product names, links and quantities selected for a quote. | Until the list or browser storage is cleared. |
| Recently viewed products | Shows a short recent-product list on the device. | Until cleared or replaced by newer entries. |
| Last-submission marker | Prevents rapid duplicate submission in the same browser tab/session. | Session storage; normally cleared when the browsing session ends. |
If non-essential analytics, advertising or embedded services are added later, this section and any consent mechanism must be updated before deployment.
7Sharing and service providers
Information may be accessed by authorized sales, support, administration and operational personnel. It may be processed by categories of service provider needed to operate the business, such as hosting, server, email, communication, logistics, service engineering, manufacturing or OEM partners, professional advisers and government authorities where legally required.
The website may open WhatsApp or an email or telephone application at the user’s request. Those providers process information under their own policies. The website does not currently use advertising cookies, third-party analytics or an online payment gateway.
ALC-Scientific does not intentionally sell enquiry information.
8Processing outside India
Some hosting, communication, email or technology providers may process information outside India. Where cross-border processing occurs, ALC-Scientific applies contractual, security and legal controls appropriate to the service and applicable Indian law.
9Retention
ALC-Scientific retains information only for as long as reasonably needed for the enquiry, quotation, transaction, warranty, support, security, accounting, tax, compliance or legal-claim purpose for which it is held.
Records are reviewed periodically and deleted or anonymized when they are no longer required, subject to legal, tax, contractual, warranty, security and dispute-retention obligations.
10Security safeguards
The website uses same-origin JSON submission, server-side validation, a honeypot field, rate limiting, duplicate-submission controls, restricted administrative paths and security headers. Enquiries may be stored in a server database or protected server-side record and may generate an email notification.
Reasonable administrative, technical and organizational safeguards should include controlled access, strong authentication, backups, least privilege, secure hosting, patching, monitoring and incident handling. No internet system can be guaranteed absolutely secure.
11Privacy rights and requests
Subject to applicable law and verification, a person may request information about processing, correction, completion, updating, erasure, withdrawal of consent, grievance redressal or nomination where that right applies.
Send a request to info@alcscientific.com with sufficient information to locate the relevant record. ALC-Scientific may verify identity, clarify scope, retain information required by law or contract, and refuse a request where legally permitted with an explanation.
Privacy requests are handled subject to the Indian data-protection requirements in force at the time of the request, identity verification and any lawful retention duty. This policy should be reviewed whenever processing activities or applicable requirements change.
12Marketing and service communications
Messages needed to answer an enquiry, prepare a quotation, process an order, deliver equipment, provide warranty or support, or communicate safety and service information are operational communications.
Optional promotional messages should be sent only where permitted. A recipient may ask to stop optional marketing by replying or contacting the privacy email. Stopping marketing does not prevent necessary transaction or service messages.
13Children
The website is intended for adult business, institutional, laboratory, distributor and procurement users. ALC-Scientific does not knowingly seek personal data from children. A parent or lawful guardian should contact the privacy email if a child has submitted information so that appropriate action can be considered.
14Third-party links
Links to WhatsApp, email, telephone, manufacturers, maps, social platforms or other external services lead to systems controlled by third parties. Their privacy practices apply to information processed by them. Users should review those practices before providing additional information.
15Data-security incidents
ALC-Scientific will assess suspected personal-data incidents, contain and investigate them, preserve necessary records and notify affected persons or authorities where required by applicable law. This Policy does not disclose detailed security procedures that could weaken protection.
