    Information Observed or Collected Through Technology

      a.    Navigational Information.
      Navigational information, such as the following, is collected by us and our third-party service providers when you use our Sites:

      • Browser type and version
      • Operating system
      • The Internet service provider used to access our Sites

      • For our mobile websites and apps, technical information about the device used, such as screen size, cookie support by the device, and how images may appear

      b.    Location Information.
      Our Sites and emails include features that may require collecting different types of location information that we then use for the specific feature you have selected, such as:

      • Where to Buy and Locator Features. Our Sites may allow you to search for the nearest location that offers the STANLEY® Engineered Fastening product that you want and whether such nearby locations have certain of our items in stock. If you access one of our Sites through a mobile device and you have enabled location-based services, specific location information may be collected for these features. If you access these features through a desktop device, you may be able to choose to have your browser provide us your location information to respond to your request. The specificity of the desktop device location information can vary depending on the browser you are using and how you are connected to the internet.
      • Email. Our emails may use your IP Address to determine the postal code where you are located when you open the email. This allows us to tailor content to you, such as a map of nearby locations carrying our products. The specificity of the location can vary depending on the device used to open our emails. 

      If you disable location-based services on your mobile device, we may ask you to manually select the region where you are located, or to enter your zip code; if you chose not to provide this information some features of the Sites may not be available. See the “5. What choices do you have over how STANLEY® Engineered Fastening uses your information?” section below for the choices you have regarding collection of location information.

      c.    Cookies and other similar technology.
      We and our third-party service providers use “cookies.” Cookies assign a unique identification to your device and are typically stored on your device by your web browser. We may also use pixel tags (also known as web beacons, web bugs, and clear GIFs) on the Sites and in emails. A pixel tag is a nearly invisible pixel-sized graphic image on a webpage or in an email message. 

      The information we and our third-party service providers collect through cookies, pixel tags, and similar technology includes the following:

      • Your interactions with our Sites and with our advertisements
      • The time of your visit to our Sites
      • Confirmation when you open email from us, including the time you open the email and whether you click on any links in the email
      • Sites you visit after visiting one of our Sites.

      For additional information on the use of cookies for advertising, see “3. How is technology used to serve our advertisements on other Sites that you visit and what choices do you have?” section below.

    Information Obtained from Third Parties

    We may combine information about you from other sources with the information we have collected about you on our Sites or Social Media Pages.  

    For example, in connection with searching and applying for jobs with us, we use a third party to collect and process the applicant profiles and preferences, monitor website activity, maintain the database based in the U.S., and provide plug-ins (such as LinkedIn) at your request. We require that the information you provide on pages hosted by these third parties be maintained by them in confidence. Information you voluntarily supply will be stored in a database, which will be accessed by authorized personnel of STANLEY® Engineered Fastening to address your inquiry or consider you for employment purposes with any of our affiliates. We may also keep the information for future consideration.

    Information Collected on STANLEY® Engineered Fastening’s Social Media Pages

    Personal information may be collected directly by us through our Social Media Pages. The type of information we would collect is similar to what is described above under “Information You Provide.” Personal information may also be collected by the social media site hosting our Social Media Pages. Our Privacy Policy does not cover the privacy and security practices of the social media sites on which STANLEY® Engineered Fastening has its Social Media Pages.

    3.    How is technology used to serve our advertisements on other Sites that you visit and what choices do you have?

    We contract with third-party advertising companies to tailor online advertising to be directed to you on other websites. These third party advertising companies place, use, or rely on technology, such as cookies and pixel tags, to obtain information about your interactions with our Sites as well as with other websites. This information helps us select advertising to serve to you and where to serve it based on your experience on our Sites and other sites that you visit.

    If STANLEY® Engineered Fastening were ever merged with or acquired by another company, or if we acquire another business entity or are involved in a corporate reorganization or other change of control, or if we sell substantially all the assets of a division, affiliate or subsidiary, some or all of the personal information collected about you could be shared with the acquiring or acquired company.

    We may also share aggregate data about our sales, customers, traffic patterns, and other related Site information with third parties, but none of this data is connected to an individual’s personal information.

    We give you choices about the information we collect and how we communicate with you.  

    1. Email: You may opt-out of our marketing emails by following the instructions listed in the email that you received. However, even if you opt-out you may still receive non-marketing emails, such as order/shipping confirmations or customer service communications.
    2. Location Information:

We recommend you review the help or user manual provided with your browser for instructions.
      • Email Location Information. Your email program may allow you to prevent the pixel tags or images in the emails you receive from us from downloading, which will also prevent our service provider from accessing your location information.
