Privacy Policy

1. Privacy Policy

Last Updated: November 3, 2026

1.1 With respect to information submitted or collected on the Liftech Consultants, Inc. website (the “Liftech Site”), you accept Liftech’s privacy policy as set forth herein. This policy does not pertain to, and Liftech is not responsible for the privacy practices of, any third party websites to which the Liftech Site links.

1.2 Activity Logging. When you use the Liftech Site, which may be hosted in part or its entirety by a third party, the Liftech Site will collect information indirectly and automatically (through, for example, the use of “cookies” or your “IP address”) about your activities. Liftech uses this activity information (the “Activity Information”) for internal purposes such as to administer the Liftech Site, improve the Liftech Site, and help Liftech understand how the Liftech Site is being used including the “clickstreams” of its visitors. “Cookies” are small pieces of information stored on your hard drive, not on the Liftech Site. Liftech uses Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the Liftech Site, such as which pages are visited, how long visitors stay, the type of device and browser used, and approximate location derived from IP address. Liftech does not use Google Analytics advertising features. When you first visit the Liftech Site, a cookie banner allows you to accept, reject, or customize non-essential cookies, and you can change your choices at any time through the cookie settings link on the Liftech Site. You may also block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Strictly necessary cookies cannot be turned off because the Liftech Site needs them to function, and blocking cookies may cause some portions of the Liftech Site to not operate properly. The Liftech Site treats Global Privacy Control signals as a request to opt out of non-essential cookies. Because there is no common industry standard for “Do Not Track” browser signals, the Liftech Site does not respond to them. Liftech does not permit third parties to collect information about your online activities across different websites over time through the Liftech Site. An “IP address” is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer when you use the Internet.

1.3 Personally Identifiable Information. The Liftech Site is designed so that you may generally browse it without providing any Personally Identifiable Information (defined below). Certain areas of the Liftech Site, however, may require or allow the voluntary submission of Personally Identifiable Information (for example, registering to receive Liftech publications or contacting Liftech by email). Liftech uses your Personally Identifiable Information for the purposes for which it was submitted by you to Liftech and for Liftech to send you information about Liftech or the industry that may be of interest to you. Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 1, Liftech does not share your Personally Identifiable Information with third parties. “Personally Identifiable Information” means information that would allow someone to identify or contact you, such as your name, physical or electronic mail address, and telephone number; provided, however, that Personally Identifiable Information does not include aggregated information that, by itself, does not permit the identification of individual persons and does not include the Activity Information. If you send Liftech a resume or other information about yourself in response to an employment opportunity listed on the Liftech Site, Liftech uses that information only to evaluate you for employment and does not use it to send you marketing communications.

1.4 Removal of Personally Identifiable Information. Liftech will use reasonable efforts to remove your Personally Identifiable Information at any time upon your request emailed to liftech@liftech.net. Such removal of Personally Identifiable Information will not ensure the permanent removal of such Personally Identifiable Information. For example, such Personally Identifiable Information may remain in Liftech’s archival or backup copies of the Liftech Site.

1.5 Additional Disclosure of Personally Identifiable Information. Liftech does not sell your Personally Identifiable Information or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. Liftech may share Personally Identifiable Information with third parties, including affiliated firms and third parties performing services for or on behalf of Liftech. Such services may include subcontractors, prime contractors, information technology consultants, hosting, and marketing services. Additionally, Liftech cannot fully ensure that your Personally Identifiable Information will not be disclosed to third parties. For example, Liftech may be legally obligated to disclose information to the government or third parties under certain circumstances, third parties may circumvent Liftech’s security measures to unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or private communications, or an error may occur in the administration of the Liftech Site. In the unlikely event that Liftech needs to investigate or resolve possible problems or inquiries, Liftech may, and you authorize Liftech to, disclose any information about you to government officials as permitted by applicable law. If Liftech were ever merged, sold, or reorganized, the resulting firm or new owner may inherit your Personally Identifiable Information in the possession of Liftech as part of that transaction.

1.6 Miscellaneous Privacy Terms. Liftech uses reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect against the risks of unauthorized access to, erroneous disclosure of, and unlawful interception of Personally Identifiable Information. You should know, however, that Liftech cannot fully eliminate such risks. From time to time, Liftech may modify this Section 1. Such modifications will be effective on the date that Liftech posts the modified statement to the Liftech Site and updates the “Last Updated” date at the top of this policy. Questions or concerns regarding the privacy policy may be emailed to liftech@liftech.net.

1.7 Children’s Privacy. The Liftech Site is not directed to children under 13, and Liftech does not knowingly collect Personally Identifiable Information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided Liftech with Personally Identifiable Information, please contact liftech@liftech.net and Liftech will delete it.

1.8 Data Retention. Liftech keeps Personally Identifiable Information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Section 1, or longer if required by law.

In the event that you gain access to information not intended to be accessed by you, you agree that you will immediately notify Liftech and lawfully destroy all copies of such information in your possession.
