We may also automatically receive and record information from our servers and from your browser, including your IP address, the time of your visit to pages on our websites, and information about pages you visited. Unless you have registered for one of our products or services, the information we gather through the use of tracking technologies cannot be matched with any personal information about you unless you have specifically given us personal information, in which case we use that information to enhance your services in the ways described below.

Sharing Information with Others
 
We may disclose information that is not personal information, and other aggregated, anonymized, or de-identified information about our users, without restriction. We do not sell customer lists or personal information to others and only disclose personal information in accordance with this Privacy Notice. In providing you with our Offerings, we may disclose the personal information we collect to contractors, service providers, or suppliers that we use to support our business and provide the Offerings; to fulfill the purpose for which you provide it; or for any other purpose that we disclose to you when you provide the information. Additionally, we may provide your contact information to a third-party partner in the event that you contact us for information or services that we do not provide. For example, if you request information about equipment from outside of our geographic area of operation, we will connect you with a third-party partner that serves your location so that you can get the answers you need.
 
We may also use the information that we collect to assess your future needs and to offer the products and services that may best meet those needs. In these cases, should you not wish to hear from us in this manner, we will do our best to provide a simple method for you to have your name and information removed upon request.
 
We may need to share your personal information to comply with any court order, law, or legal process, including to respond to any government or regulatory request; enforce or apply our Terms of Use and other agreements; or if we believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate to protect the rights, property, or safety of Applied Control, users of the Offerings, or others.
 
We also reserve the right to transfer your personal information to a buyer or other transferee in the event of a merger, divestiture, restructuring, reorganization, dissolution, sale, or other transfer of some or all of our assets. Should such a sale, merger, or transfer occur, we will use reasonable efforts to direct the transferee to use your personal information in a manner that is consistent with our Privacy Notice.
 
How We Safeguard Information
 
At Applied Control, we have implemented reasonable measures designed to protect our systems and information under our control against unauthorized access and use. Please note, however, that the electronic transmission of information is not completely secure. The safety and security of your information also depends on you. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password for access to certain parts of our Offerings, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone. Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. We cannot guarantee that the security measures we have in place to safeguard information will never be defeated or fail, or that such measures will always be sufficient or effective. Any transmission of information is at your own risk.
 
If we provide our suppliers with any personal information, we will advise them that suppliers are required to maintain customer confidentiality and may use the information only for the purpose for which it was provided.
 
Employees are governed by standards and policies to ensure that information is secure and treated with care and respect.
 
Retention of Your Information
 
Information may be held at our offices and facilities and the offices and facilities of our subsidiaries and affiliates, contractors, service providers, suppliers or subsidiaries that we use to support our business and provide the Offerings to you. We will keep your information while you have an account with us or for as long as it necessary to provide the Offerings to you. Thereafter, we will keep your information for as long as is necessary:

• to respond to any questions, complaints, or claims made by your or on your behalf;
• to show that we treated you fairly; or
• to keep records required by law.

We will retain your information until such information is no longer necessary for the purposes set forth above, and then we will delete or anonymize it.
