This privacy policy ("Privacy Policy") provides information about how we collect, use, share and safeguard the Personal Information we gather from you through the Site.

IF YOU ARE A CALIFORNIA RESIDENT, PLEASE SEE SECTION 13 BELOW FOR ADDITIONAL TERMS THAT MAY APPLY TO YOU.

IF YOU ARE A CANADIAN RESIDENT, PLEASE SEE SECTION 14 BELOW FOR ADDITIONAL TERMS THAT MAY APPLY TO YOU.

If you use this Site, you must comply with our Term of Use ("Terms") found here.

1. WHAT IS PERSONAL INFORMATION?

"Personal Information" is any information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular consumer or household. Please see the chart below for more details about the categories of Personal Information we collect. This Privacy Policy does not apply to any information that is publicly available.

2. PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT.

We collect the following categories of Personal Information:

3. CATEGORIES OF SOURCES OF COLLECTION.

We generally collect Personal Information from the following three categories of sources: (1) you provide Personal Information directly to us, (2) we automatically collect Personal Information from you when you use our Site (e.g. cookies), or (3) we receive Personal Information about you from third-party sources (e.g. from public sources). The chart above describes in more detail the categories of sources from which we collect Personal Information.

SOURCE 1: We Collect Personal Information You Provide.

We collect Personal Information that you provide directly to us. Personal Information is required to use certain Site features, for example, to create online accounts, purchase products or services, contact us via email or telephone, submit job application materials, send us questions through forms on our Site, receive or request data from us (e.g., catalogs), and respond to communications from us (e.g., surveys and promotional offers).

Accounts. When you create an account with Company through our Site, we collect your contact information (e.g. name, address, phone number, email address) and the types of Company products and services you own and are interested in. You are also required to choose a password which you should keep confidential. If you are a trade professional, we will collect information about your professional certifications, associations and discipline.

When You Make a Purchase. When you make a purchase online, we use a PCI-compliant payment processor ("Payment Processor") to help us facilitate payment. We have contracted with the Payment Processor to ensure they protect and limit the use of your Personal Information. We do not receive your credit card, debit card or other financial information when you make a purchase online- that information is provided directly to our Payment Processor. However, we do receive your contact information and purchase information. We will keep a record of your purchases.

Marketing Communications. We may use your email and mailing address to send you promotional and other electronic and hardcopy communications. We may use third-parties or service providers to deliver these communications to you. You may opt-out of such emails by using the unsubscribe link in the email or contacting us at [email protected] with "Unsubscribe" in the subject line. To opt-out of other communications (e.g., postal marketing and telemarketing), please contact us as set forth in the "Contact Us" section below. Opting out of marketing communications does not opt you out of other, non-marketing communications from us.

Feedback. When you provide comments or feedback about our Site, the content on the Site, or our products or services ("Feedback"), we will not treat that Feedback as confidential and we may use that Feedback for any purpose in our sole discretion so long as it does not personally identify you. Feedback will be used without attribution or compensation to you.

Applying to Work With Company. To submit job application materials online to work with Company, you will be redirected from our Site to a website operated by our service provider Ultimate Software ("Ultipro"). You may be required to create an account with that service provider. We encourage you to review the terms and privacy policy posted on that service provider's website since this Privacy Policy does not govern your use of that website. If you send us your job application materials directly, we will only use and share those job application materials to evaluate your qualifications to work with Company and its affiliates.

Sweepstakes & Contests. We may offer sweepstakes or contests. To participate, you must submit certain information, which may include your name, email, organization name and type, phone number, physical address, and other Personal Information. Information collected via sweepstakes and contests will be (i) used to contact you with promotional and related communications, (ii) shared with our third-party vendors or service providers, and (iii) subject to additional terms provided to you at such time.

Who May Exercise Your Rights. If you are a California resident, only you or a person registered with the California Secretary of State that you authorize to act on your behalf may make a request related to your Personal Information. See the section titled "Using an Authorized Agent" for more information. A parent or legal guardian may make a request on behalf of their child.

Verifiable Consumer Request. In order to verify your request, you must provide sufficient information to allow us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected Personal Information, and you must describe your request with sufficient detail to allow us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to your request.

When we receive your request to exercise your rights under the CCPA: (a) we will acknowledge receipt of your request; (b) we will try to match the information you provide in making the request with information we already maintain about you; (c) if required to verify your identity, we may ask you to provide additional information, including Personal Information; and (d) we will consider various factors when determining how to verify your identity, such as the sensitivity and value of the data, the risk of harm, the likelihood of fraud, etc.

We will only use Personal Information we collect during the verification process for the purpose of verifying your identity. If you maintain an account with us, we may use that account to respond to your request and/or verify your identity.
