SEPC Website Terms and Conditions of Use
Effective date: November 1, 2019
WELCOME to the website of the Southeast Produce Council.
Please read the following terms and conditions of use before using our www.seproducecouncil.com website (this “Site”). By using the Site, you agree to use the Site in accordance with these terms of use, including our Privacy Policy:
SEPC Privacy Policy
The Southeast Produce Council (“SEPC”) values individual privacy and we want to give visitors to our seproducecouncil.com website (the “Site”) the opportunity to know what information we collect about them and how they can limit the use of personally-identifiable information beyond the purposes for which they first provided it.
At all times, SEPC reserves the right to disclose information where required by law or to comply with valid legal process (such as a search warrant, subpoena or court order), to protect SEPC’s rights or property, including without limitation in the event of a transfer of control of SEPC or substantially all of its assets, or during emergencies when safety is at risk.
Whenever we change our policy, we will let you know by prominently posting a notice on our home page. Since these policy change notices last only for a limited time, however, you should check this Privacy Policy periodically to see if there have been any changes. By accessing the Site, you acknowledge that you have read and understand this Privacy Policy, as well as our Terms and Conditions of Use, accept them, and agree to be legally bound by them. You should not use the Site if you have any objections to this Privacy Policy, or any of the Terms & Conditions.
Children’s Privacy
SEPC does not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 18. If SEPC obtains knowledge that it has personally identifiable information about a child under 18 in retrievable form, particularly without verification of parental consent, SEPC will immediately destroy that information, and delete that information from our files.
Types of Information We Collect and How We Use It
Personally Identifiable Information
If you are over the age of 18, we may collect your name, address, phone number and email address if you communicate that information to us voluntarily. We will not share your personally identifiable information with anyone outside SEPC and its affiliated companies.
We may use this information to i) respond to an email or other inquiry or request from you, ii) to help improve our Site and our services, iii) to customize your experience at our Site, or iv) to send updates or notices about our organization. We may also combine this information with other generally or publicly available information to help us identify visitors’ preferences or interests.

In some cases, when you visit our Site, we may also collect information that is non-personally identifiable information or information that, by itself, cannot be used to identify or contact you.

If you do not want information collected through the use of cookies, you can deny or accept the cookie feature using a simple procedure available in most browsers. If you block cookies, however, you may lose some website functionality.
