What we do with your personally identifiable information

It is always up to you whether to disclose personally identifiable information to us, although if you elect not to do so, we reserve the right not to register you as a user or provide you with any products or services. “Personally identifiable information” means information that can be used to identify you as an individual, such as, for example:

  • Your name, company, email address, phone number, billing address, and shipping address
  • Any account-preference information you provide us
  • Your computer’s domain name and IP address, indicating where your computer is located on the Internet
  • Session data for your login session, so that our computer can ‘talk’ to yours while you are logged in

 

If you do provide personally identifiable information to us, either directly or through an authorized distributor or other business partner, we will:

  • Not sell or rent it to a third party without your permission — although unless you opt out (see below), we may use your contact information to provide you with information we believe you need to know or may find useful, such as (for example) news about our services and products and modifications to the Terms of Service;
  • Not use or disclose the information except:
    • In other ways described in this privacy policy or to which you have otherwise consented;
    • In the aggregate with other information in such a way so that your identity cannot reasonably be determined (for example, statistical compilations);
    • As required by law, for example, in response to a subpoena or search warrant;
    • To outside auditors who have agreed to keep the information confidential;
    • As necessary to enforce the Terms of Service;
    • As necessary to protect the rights, safety, or property of the Nord-Lock Group, its users, or others; this may include (for example) exchanging information with other organizations for fraud protection and/or risk reduction.

Other information we collect

We may collect other information that cannot be readily used to identify you, such as (for example) the domain name and IP address of your computer. We may use this information, individually or in the aggregate, for technical administration of our Web site(s); research and development; customer- and account administration; and to help us focus our marketing efforts more precisely.

Cookies

The Nord-Lock Group uses “cookies” to store personal data on your computer. We may also link information stored on your computer in cookies with personal data about specific individuals stored on our servers. If you set up your Web browser (for example, Internet Explorer or Firefox) so that cookies are not allowed, you might not be able to use some or all of the features of our Web site(s).

External data storage sites

We may store your data on servers provided by third party hosting vendors with whom we have contracted.

Your privacy responsibilities

To help protect your privacy, be sure to take customary precautions to guard against “malware” (viruses, Trojan horses, bots, etc.), for example by installing and updating suitable anti-virus software.

Changes to this privacy policy

We reserve the right to change this privacy policy, as we deem necessary or appropriate because of legal compliance requirements or changes in our business practices. If you have provided us with an email address, we will endeavor to notify you, by email to that address, of any material change to how we will use personally identifiable information.
