- explicitly states IDEX does not 'sell' personal information and does not 'share' it for cross-context behavioral advertising. Their cookie banner text states they do not use cookies for targeted advertising, social media tracking, or the sale of personal information. The privacy statement offers real opt-outs: promotional emails can be opted out via privacy@idexcorp.com, and users may request review, correction, or removal of their information. As a B2B industrial manufacturer, the public site has no consumer accounts, subscriptions, or auto-renewal traps to score.
IDEX can rewrite the terms whenever it wants, for any reason.
The fine print
6 clauses and findings from the draft archive, dated 1 October 2026. The plain English comes first; the small print is the company's own words. None of these has been checked yet.
-
IDEX can rewrite the terms whenever it wants, for any reason. The only notice is a changed date at the bottom of the page, changes take effect immediately on posting, and just visiting the site afterward counts as you agreeing.
IDEX reserves the right to modify, amend or update these Terms at any time and for any reason. If we make changes, we will let you know by revising the date at the end of the Terms. Any changes we make to these terms will be effective immediately upon posting. Your continued use of the Sites after such posting shall be deemed to constitute acceptance by you of the changes.

We may use information about you for ... Communicating with you about services, offers, promotions, rewards, and events offered by IDEX and others.
How these were found
Terms & Conditions last revised May 15, 2020 (over 6 years old as of Oct 2026 — may be stale, though it remains the live document); Website Privacy Statement last revised January 19, 2023; California Privacy Addendum effective January 2, 2023. All documents were read directly from idexcorp.com via text fetch on 2026-10-01 — no mirrors used, but access was limited to the public corporate pages; no business-unit, procurement, or login-gated terms were reviewed, and the privacy statement notes business-unit sites may carry additional or different statements. Score is modest because IDEX is a B2B company with thin consumer-facing terms: no arbitration, no auto-renew, no data sale found — what exists is the one-sided term-change rule, the feedback/IP grab, and the perpetual content license.
