The Philly Gas Exchange operates on a principle of minimal data retention. Unlike large industrial conglomerates, we do not view your browsing habits or gas requirements as a product to be sold. We collect only what is necessary to connect regional users with regional suppliers, ensuring the economic health of the Philadelphia industrial community.
We acquire data through two primary channels to maintain the integrity of our regional marketplace facilitation:
When you fill out a marketplace inquiry or contact form, we store your name, email, and specific gas needs. This information is passed to the relevant local supplier to fulfill your request and is stored in our secure database for quality assurance purposes and communication history.
Like most modern web platforms, we collect basic, non-identifying technical data such as IP addresses (anonymized), browser types, and referring pages. This helps us optimize site performance, ensure ADA compliance functionality, and protect the Exchange from malicious digital activity.
Your information is shared exclusively with participating independent suppliers within our network for the sole purpose of providing quotes or fulfilling inventory requests. We do not participate in cross-site tracking or sell mailing lists to third-party advertisers or data brokers.
Please note: Once you navigate away from the Philly Gas Exchange to a supplier's own website or contact them directly via phone, you are subject to their independent privacy protocols. We vet our partners for integrity, but we do not control their internal data storage practices.
We employ SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encryption for all data transmission. Our databases are hosted on secured servers with restricted access protocols. While we take every reasonable precaution to protect the community, no system is impenetrable, and users acknowledge that they provide information at their own risk.
We respect your right to control your digital footprint. Under our policy, you may at any time:
