Privacy Policy
Concrete Technology Industries (“CTI,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect personal information when you:
- Visit myctistore.com or any page that links to this Privacy Policy;
- Create or use a dealer account;
- Browse products, systems, technical documents, or other website resources;
- Prepare or submit a quote request;
- Contact us regarding products, quotes, dealer support, accepted orders, or other services; or
- Otherwise interact with us in connection with the website.
The website and related services are collectively referred to in this Privacy Policy as the “Services.”
For purposes of this Privacy Policy, “you” and “your” refer to the individual using the Services, including website visitors, dealers, dealer representatives, prospective customers, and other individuals who communicate with us.
Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. By accessing or using the Services, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy. Where required by law, we will request your consent before collecting or using certain personal information.
1. QUOTE-ONLY WEBSITE
The website is intended to help authorized dealers and other approved users review products, access resources, and submit quote requests.
The website does not provide standard online checkout, and submitting a quote request does not constitute a purchase, accepted order, or binding agreement. No payment is collected through the website as part of the quote-request process.
If CTI accepts a quote request and an order is later placed outside the website, additional billing, shipping, tax, payment, or transaction information may be collected through separate communications, payment systems, or service providers.
2. CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices, technology, Services, legal obligations, or business operations.
When we update this Privacy Policy, we will post the revised version on the website and update the “Last updated” date. Where required by law, we may provide additional notice or obtain consent before a material change takes effect.
3. PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT
“Personal information” means information that identifies, relates to, describes, or can reasonably be associated with an individual. The personal information we collect depends on how you interact with us.
Information You Provide Directly
We may collect information that you provide through the website, by email, by telephone, or through other communications, including:
Contact Information

Dealer and Account Information

- Company affiliation;
- Dealer pricing level or account classification;
- Username or login information;
- Account preferences;

- Other information needed to establish, verify, maintain, or support a dealer account.
Passwords and similar credentials may be processed through Shopify or another account-management provider. We do not recommend sharing your login credentials with anyone who is not authorized to access your account.
Quote-Request Information
When you prepare or submit a quote request, we may collect:
- Products viewed or selected;
- Requested quantities;
- Project or application information;
- Requested delivery or shipping destination;

A quote request is not an order and does not result in payment being processed through the website.

- Purchase-order information;
- Billing and shipping details;

- Delivery instructions;
- Freight and shipping information;

- Submit a contact form;
- Request technical assistance;
- Ask a product or application question;
- Request dealer support;

Please do not send sensitive or confidential information through an unsecured website form or ordinary email unless it is necessary for your request.

We and our service providers may use cookies and similar technologies to operate, secure, analyze, and improve the website.
Cookies are small data files stored on your browser or device. Cookies may be used to:

Shopify and other providers may process information collected through cookies in accordance with their own privacy policies.
Global Privacy Control and Do Not Track
Where required by applicable law and supported by our website configuration, we recognize legally valid browser-based opt-out preference signals, such as the Global Privacy Control.
Because there is no uniform industry standard for responding to all “Do Not Track” browser signals, the website may not respond to signals other than those legally recognized or supported by our privacy tools.

Depending on the analytics, advertising, or marketing technologies enabled on the website, certain disclosures of cookie identifiers, device information, Usage Data, or similar information may be considered a “sale,” “sharing,” or use for “targeted advertising” under the laws of certain states, even when no money is exchanged.
