How do we collect this data?

The way we collect this data depends on how you use our online services, request product samples, request quotes, or contact us.  Some data is collected automatically as you interact with our online services.  Other data is collected directly from you (such as information you provide for a specific purpose, request, etc.) or with your consent.  Where required by law, we will obtain your consent for the collection and processing of your information (such as for the purpose of direct marketing).  An overview of all possible ways in which data can be collected is listed below:

  • To provide you with the best and most personal customer experience
  • To improve your surfing and experience of our online services

How long do we store these data?

We store your data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes mentioned in this Privacy Policy, in accordance with reasonable business practices and applicable laws.

How is your data shared?

Generally, we will not share any data we collect with third parties except as outlined below.  For example, we may share your data with authorized business or support partners or third party service providers that, on our behalf, perform certain services, such as providing customer support and marketing assistance, performing sales analysis, supporting the functionality of our website, fulfilling your requests, and management of contests, promotions and surveys.  These third parties will have access to your information to the extent needed in order to perform their services, but the third parties are not permitted to share or use your information for any purposes besides those outlined in this privacy policy.  We will never sell your data to a third party for the third party’s marketing use.
