PRIVACY & DATA
PRIVACY POLICY
Effective Date: October 1, 2026
Propane Tank Distributors is committed to protecting the privacy and security of your personal information. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and disclose personal information when you visit our website, source propane equipment, or interact with our sales and distribution services. By using our services, you consent to the data practices described in this statement. We prioritize the integrity of your data as much as the integrity of our pressure vessels.
1. Introduction
Our distribution network spans nationwide, and so does our commitment to privacy. We collect information necessary to coordinate the delivery of propane tanks and provide technical specifications for your projects. This policy applies to all interactions with Propane Tank Distributors.
2. Information We Collect
We collect identifiers such as names, business titles, email addresses, phone numbers, and physical delivery addresses. For high-capacity industrial orders, we may collect project-specific technical requirements to ensure compatibility with your existing infrastructure.
3. How We Collect Data
Data is gathered through direct input on our website forms, during phone consultations with our distribution specialists, via secure purchase transactions, and through automated technical logs that track site usage patterns to improve our catalog navigation.
4. Purpose of Data Processing
The primary purpose of collecting data is to manage orders, process $400 flat-rate shipping logistics, provide safety documentation for ASME tanks, and offer ongoing customer support for your propane infrastructure. We use your data to streamline the distribution flow.
5. Personal Information Disclosure
We do not sell personal data to third-party marketers. We disclose information only when necessary to fulfill your order, such as sharing delivery addresses and contact names with freight carriers to facilitate tank transport and on-site unloading.
6. Third-Party Service Providers
We utilize trusted third-party services for secure payment processing, nationwide logistics coordination, and professional IT maintenance. These partners are contractually obligated to protect your data and only use it for the specific distribution services they provide.
7. Cookies & Tracking
Our website uses cookies to enhance the user experience, analyze site traffic, and streamline the quote request process. You may adjust your browser settings to refuse cookies, though some automated features of our distribution portal may be affected.
8. Data Security
We implement robust technical and organizational measures to safeguard your data. Just as our propane tanks are rigorously pressure-tested, our digital systems are regularly audited for security vulnerabilities to prevent unauthorized access or disclosure.
9. Data Retention Policy
Personal information is retained for the duration necessary to satisfy the purposes outlined in this policy, unless a longer retention period is required by tax, legal, or industry-specific safety regulations regarding the tracking of pressurized vessels.
10. Marketing Communications
You may receive updates regarding our current inventory of new or inspected pre-owned propane tanks. You have the right to opt-out of these marketing communications at any time through the provided unsubscribe links in our emails.
11. User Rights & Access
You have the right to request access to the personal information we hold about you. You may also request corrections of any inaccuracies or the deletion of your data when it is no longer required for distribution or safety compliance purposes.
12. California Privacy Rights (CCPA)
California residents have specific rights under the CCPA, including the right to know what personal information is collected, the right to request deletion of that information, and the right to non-discrimination for exercising these privacy rights.
13. GDPR Compliance
For users in the European Economic Area, we adhere to GDPR principles regarding data portability, the right to be forgotten, and informed consent. We act as a data controller for the information collected during the equipment sourcing process.
14. Children’s Privacy
Our services and products are strictly intended for professional, agricultural, and commercial applications. We do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under the age of 18.
15. International Data Transfers
Your information may be transferred to and maintained on computers located outside of your state or country. By using our distribution services, you consent to these international transfers necessary for global supply chain coordination.
16. Links to External Sites
Our site may contain links to external manufacture or certification websites such as ASME or NFPA. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third-party organizations and recommend reviewing their respective policies.
17. Non-Personal Information
We collect non-identifiable technical data such as browser types and operating systems to optimize our catalog performance across the different legacy and modern devices used by our network of distributors.
18. Legal Compliance
We will disclose your personal information where required to do so by law or subpoena, or when we believe such action is necessary to comply with safety regulations regarding the transport and installation of pressure vessels.
19. Updates to Privacy Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the revised policy on this page and updating the effective date at the top of this document.
20. Governing Law
This Privacy Policy and any disputes related to it are governed by the laws of the State of Minnesota, where our headquarters and primary distribution center at 2101 4th Ave E, Shakopee, MN 55379 are located.
21. Contact Information
