This Privacy Policy applies only to information we collect at and through our Site or Services. The Site may contain links to or embedded content from third-party websites. A link to or embedded content from a third party website does not mean that we endorse that third party website, the quality or accuracy of information presented on the third-party website or the persons or entities associated with the third party website. If you decide to visit a third-party website, you are subject to the privacy policy of the third party website as applicable and we are not responsible for the policies and practices of the third party website. We encourage you to ask questions before you disclose your information to others.
Echo H2O reserves the right to change, modify, add, or remove portions of this Policy at any time and without prior notice, and any changes will become effective immediately upon being posted unless we advise you otherwise. However, we will not use your Personal Information in a way that is materially different than the uses described in this Policy without giving you an opportunity to opt-out of such differing uses. Your continued use of the Site or Services after this Policy has been amended shall be deemed to be your continued acceptance of the terms and conditions of the Policy, as amended. We encourage you to review this Policy regularly.

If you are a California resident and would like to request this information, please submit your request in an email to support@echoh2o.com

The Site and Services are provided for access and use by persons located in the United States. If you use the Site from outside of the United States, you do so at your own risk.

We may transfer Personal Information that we collect from you to third-party data processors in countries that are outside the United States. For example, this might be required in order to fulfill your order, process your payment details or provide support services. If we do this, we have procedures in place to ensure your data receives the same protection as if it were being processed inside the United States. For example, our contracts with third parties stipulate the standards they must follow at all times. If you wish for more information about these contracts please contact our compliance department. Any transfer of your Personal Information will follow applicable laws and we will treat the information under the guiding principles of this Privacy Notice.
By using our services or providing your Personal Information to us, you expressly consent to the processing of your Personal Information by us or on our behalf. Of course, you still have the right to ask us not to process your data in certain ways, and if you do so, we will respect your wishes.
Sometimes we’ll need to transfer your Personal Information between countries to enable us to supply the Services you’ve requested. In the ordinary course of business, we may transfer your Personal Information from your country of residence to ourselves and to third parties located in and outside the United States.
By dealing with us, you are giving your consent to this overseas use, transfer and disclosure of your Personal Information outside your country of residence for our ordinary business purposes. This may occur because our information technology storage facilities and servers are located outside your country of residence, and could include storage of your Personal Information on servers in the United States or in other countries.
We’ll ensure that reasonable steps are taken to prevent third parties outside your country of residence using your Personal Information in any way that’s not set out in this Privacy Notice. We’ll also make sure we adequately protect the confidentiality and privacy of your Personal Information.
