This Privacy Policy applies to information collected through the Gauge Advisor website and through related communications that you initiate with us.
Gauge Advisor LLC, referred to in this policy as “Gauge Advisor,” “we,” “us,” or “our,” provides technical information, engineering resources, calculators, equipment selectors, application support, and product information for the extrusion, medical device, wire and cable, coating, converting, plastics, and manufacturing industries.
This policy does not govern the privacy practices of equipment manufacturers, linked websites, service providers, or other third parties that maintain their own privacy policies.
The information we collect depends on how you interact with the website and whether you choose to provide information directly to us.
You may provide information such as:
When you request assistance, use certain tools, or submit an application inquiry, you may provide technical or commercial information such as:
Please do not submit classified information, export-controlled technical data, sensitive personal information, or confidential third-party information unless you are authorized to disclose it and appropriate safeguards have been established.

This technical information is generally used to operate, secure, maintain, understand, and improve the website.
Gauge Advisor offers calculators, equipment selectors, conversion tools, recommendation tools, and other interactive resources.
Many tool calculations may occur within your browser. In those cases, values entered into a tool may be processed locally and may not be sent to Gauge Advisor unless you submit the results, complete a contact form, request assistance, or use another feature that transmits information.
Certain general usage information may still be collected through analytics, website logs, cookies, or similar technologies, including the page visited and interactions with website features.
When a tool includes a submission, email, save, quote-request, or contact feature, we may receive the information you enter, the results generated, and related application details so that we can respond to your request.
Do not submit confidential information through a public website tool unless necessary. Contact Gauge Advisor if an application involves sensitive specifications or requires a nondisclosure agreement before information is exchanged.
We may use information to:
We may also use aggregated or de-identified information for business analysis, website improvement, and content planning when that information does not reasonably identify an individual.
Cookies are small files or identifiers stored on or associated with a browser or device. We and our service providers may use cookies and similar technologies to operate the website and understand how it is used.
These technologies may include:
You may be able to control cookies through your browser settings and, where provided, through the website’s cookie or consent controls. Blocking some cookies may affect website functionality.
Browser settings vary. Consult your browser’s help documentation for instructions on deleting, limiting, or blocking cookies.
We may use analytics services, including Google Analytics, to understand how visitors find and use the website.
Analytics services may process information such as device and browser details, IP-derived location, referring sources, pages viewed, session activity, link interactions, and cookie or device identifiers, depending on our configuration and your privacy choices.
We use analytics information to evaluate website performance, improve content, identify technical issues, and understand which resources are useful to visitors.
Analytics providers process information according to their own privacy policies and contractual terms. You may be able to limit analytics collection through browser controls, cookie settings, consent tools, or privacy features offered by the applicable provider.
We may send you communications that you request or that relate to an existing inquiry, project, quotation, order, service matter, or business relationship.
When you subscribe to a newsletter or other marketing communication, we may use your contact information to send technical articles, product information, company updates, event information, and related materials.
You may unsubscribe from marketing emails by using the unsubscribe link included in the message or by contacting us at hello@gaugeadvisor.com.
Unsubscribing from marketing messages does not prevent us from sending necessary transactional, project-related, legal, security, or service communications.
We do not sell personal information for monetary compensation.
We may disclose information to the following categories of recipients when reasonably necessary:
We may also disclose information at your direction, with your consent, or when reasonably necessary to fulfill a request you initiate.
No sale or targeted-advertising sharing: Gauge Advisor does not currently sell personal information or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising as those terms are defined under applicable California privacy law.
Our website may contain links to or integrations with third-party websites and services, including manufacturer websites, videos, scheduling services, social networks, maps, documents, and other external resources.
When you select a third-party link or interact with embedded content, the third party may collect information directly from you or your device. Its privacy policy and terms govern that collection and use.
Gauge Advisor does not control and is not responsible for the privacy, security, accuracy, or content practices of third-party websites or services.
We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including to:
Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information, the nature of the business relationship, legal requirements, manufacturer requirements, and whether the information is needed for an active or reasonably anticipated project.
We may retain aggregated, de-identified, archival, backup, or system-log information where permitted by law and reasonably necessary for legitimate business purposes.
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures intended to protect information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.
These measures may include access controls, account security, secure website connections, service-provider safeguards, software updates, backups, spam filtering, and security monitoring.
No website, internet transmission, storage system, or security measure can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You provide information electronically at your own risk and should avoid sending highly sensitive information through ordinary website forms or unencrypted email.
Depending on how you interact with us, you may:
Some information may need to be retained for legal, accounting, security, warranty, contractual, recordkeeping, or legitimate business purposes.
Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights concerning personal information, including the right to request:
These rights are subject to applicable exceptions and verification requirements. We may need information from you to confirm your identity and locate relevant records before completing a request.
We will not unlawfully discriminate against you for exercising an applicable privacy right.
To submit a privacy request, email hello@gaugeadvisor.com with the subject line “Privacy Request.”
California residents may have additional privacy rights under applicable California law. The specific rights and obligations that apply depend on factors including the nature and size of a business, the information processed, and the purpose of the processing.
Gauge Advisor does not currently sell personal information or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.
If our practices change in a manner that requires additional California disclosures or opt-out methods, we will update this policy and provide the required choices.
Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” setting. Because there is not a universally accepted technical standard for responding to all such signals, the website may not respond to traditional Do Not Track settings in a uniform manner.
Where required by applicable law and supported by our website configuration, we will process legally recognized opt-out preference signals.
The Gauge Advisor website is intended for business professionals, engineers, manufacturers, and other adult users. It is not directed to children under 13 years of age.
We do not knowingly collect personal information online from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has submitted personal information to us, please contact us so that we can review and, where appropriate, delete the information.
Gauge Advisor is based in California, United States. If you access the website from another country, information may be transferred to, processed in, or stored in the United States or other locations where our service providers operate.
Privacy and data-protection laws in those locations may differ from the laws in your country. Where required, we will handle information in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
We may revise this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our website, tools, service providers, business practices, or applicable law.
The revised policy will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. We encourage visitors to review this page periodically.
When required by law, we may provide additional notice or obtain consent regarding material changes.
