Your privacy is important to us. The purpose of this Privacy Policy is to inform you, as a visitor to our website www.dentonvacuum.com (“Denton Website”), what kinds of information we may gather about you when you visit, how we may use that information, and whether we disclose it to anyone. This Privacy Policy applies only to us and our subsidiaries and affiliates, and not to other companies’ or organizations’ sites to which we may link.
Information Collected on The Denton Website
Personally Identifiable Information
The majority of the information provided by Denton on the Denton Website is available to you without Denton collecting any information that is identifiable to you as an individual such as your name, email address, street address or telephone number (Personally Identifiable Information). You can review almost the entire Denton Website without disclosing any Personally Identifiable Information. However, Denton does collect Personally Identifiable Information that you may provide voluntarily. Some examples of times when Denton collects Personally Identifiable Information include when you:
- contact us via a contact portal on the Denton Website
- ask us about employment opportunities and send us your resume or other employment experience information
- complete a survey
- sign up to receive our newsletter
- send us an e-mail message
- provide contact information in order to download gated content
You have a choice as to whether to provide Denton with any Personally Identifiable Information. Although you are not required to disclose any Personally Identifiable Information to us, portions of the Denton Website may not be available to you without your providing this information.
The Denton website is not intended for use by minors. Accordingly, we do not request any personal information from minors. Minors should not post any personal information to the Denton website.
How We Protect Your Personal Information
We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information. Unfortunately, however, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Accordingly, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us, or to or from our online products or services. You transmit all such information at your own risk.
Non-Personally Identifiable Information
The second type of information collected on the Denton Website is Non-Personally Identifiable Information, such as the type of Web browser you use, your domain name and links you may have used to locate the Denton Website, but which otherwise does not identify you individually. When you visit an Internet site, you disclose certain information about yourself, such as your Internet [Protocol] (IP) address, browser type, the time of your visit, and the referring location (e.g., the site page that offered a link to our Site page). Other information disclosed includes clickstream data, which includes a record of the clicked selections you make while visiting the Denton Website. This data does not, on its own, permit direct association with a specific individual.
How We Use the Information Collected
We do not sell or rent any information that we receive from the Denton Website. Except as stated in this Privacy Policy, we will not share your Personally Identifiable Information with anyone outside of Denton and those hired by Denton to perform work on its behalf.
Denton uses any Personally Identifiable Information you provide in a limited number of ways. We may use your Personally Identifiable Information to (i) provide you with information about Denton and its services or (ii) enhance or update the Denton Website or (iii) compile demographic statistics about users of the Denton Website. We may also, on occasion, combine information about you that we have with information we obtain from other parties to enhance our ability to provide you with information about Denton and its services that we think may be of interest to you.
Who Might We Share Your Personal Information With?
Your Personally Identifiable Information collected by Denton will not be sold to any other company for any reason whatsoever, without your consent. We may share your information with third parties who perform certain services for Denton, such as background checks or facilitating aspects of the Denton Website.
While we strive to select third party partners who have or share the same standards in regards to privacy policies, the user agrees that with respect to those third parties, including without limitation the sites we link to, we do not make any representation or warranty regarding the same, nor will we be responsible to the user or anyone else for any products, services or other material that may be sold, licensed, distributed or promoted by such third parties or on such sites, or for any content on such sites. We encourage visitors of these sites to review the privacy policies posted on these sites.
On an aggregate basis only, we may collect Non-Personally Identifiable Information about users of the Denton Website. Denton will never disclose any Personally Identifiable Information as part of this aggregate information but we may use, transfer, and disclose this Non-Personally Identifiable Information for any purpose. For example, we may record this basic information about visits to the Denton Website in order to track visits to the Denton Website, help diagnose problems with our server, assist us in technical development of the Denton Website, and to improve our services and advertising.
Denton will make every effort to preserve user privacy but we may need disclose your personal information to law enforcement agencies, government/regulatory bodies, and content protection organizations to: (i) protect our legal rights, privacy or safety, and that of our subsidiaries, affiliates, employees, agents, contractors, or other individuals; (ii) protect the safety and security of visitors to our online services or other properties; (iii) protect against fraud or other illegal activity or for risk management purposes; (iv) respond to inquiries or requests from government, regulatory, law enforcement, or public authorities; (v) permit us to pursue available remedies, commence, participate in, or defend litigation, or limit the damages that we may sustain; or (vi) comply with the law including with subpoenas, search warrants, court orders, and other legal process.
Sale Or Transfer Of All Or Part Of Our Business Or Assets
In the event that Denton, or substantially all of its assets, is acquired by another company, we reserve the right to transfer the information described in this Privacy Policy.
Cookies And Other Technologies
Denton uses a feature of your browser called a “cookie.” A cookie automatically identifies a computer—but not an individual—to our servers when an individual visits the Denton Website. We use cookies to gather general, aggregate statistics about the overall popularity and usage of the Denton Website. Denton also uses more temporary cookies, often referred to as session cookies, to keep a user logged into the system and aid in the exchange of information between pages without loss of data. Such a cookie, however, is only stored for the current browsing session and is deleted once the browser is closed.
We treat information collected by cookies and other technologies as Non-Personally Identifiable Information. However, to the extent that Non-Personally Identifiable Information is combined with Personally Identifiable Information, we treat the combined information as Personally Identifiable Information for the purposes of this Privacy Policy.
If for any reason you wish not to take advantage of cookies, you may have your browser not accept them, although this will disable or render unusable some essential features of the Denton Website and services. If you disagree with our usage of cookies, please do not visit the Denton Website.
You should remember that whenever you voluntarily disclose information online, such as on message boards, through e-mail, discussion groups, or in chat areas, your information can be collected and used by others. Although we try to protect your information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk. You are solely responsible of maintaining the secrecy of any passwords you set up and/or any account information.
Other Websites And Links
We may include links to other websites that we think will be of interest to you or operated by our business partners, affiliates, advertisers and others. These third parties have separate data collection and privacy practices independent from ours, and Denton cannot be responsible for their policies or activities. If you choose to purchase products or services through a third party site, or otherwise access a third party site, the data collected by the third party is governed by that third party’s privacy policy. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any other sites you visit.

GDPR Policy
The GDPR Policy applies only to residents of the EU.
The term “Personal Data” as used in this Privacy Notice means any information relating to you such as your name, contact details, bank account details etc. Personal Data does not include data from which you can no longer be identified such as anonymized aggregate data.
What Information Do We Collect About You, How Do We Collect It And What Do We Use It For?
The kinds of Personal Data we may collect include contact information, such as your address, email address and telephone number, and employment information, such as your job title.

Under the GDPR, Denton must possess and identify a lawful basis for collecting or processing your Personal Data which may vary according to the type of Personal Data processed and the individual to whom it relates. We will therefore process your Personal Data only:
- if you have consented to us doing so;
- if we need it to perform a contract we have entered into with you;

Such legitimate interests will be the providing of goods and services by us, such as fulfilling customer orders, administrative or operational processes within Denton and direct marketing.
We need to collect and use your Personal Data for a number of reasons, the primary purpose being to provide customized products and services to our clients and which may involve the use of your Personal Data. We may also use your Personal Data to inform you about our services and new technological developments. If you provide information to us about someone else (such as one of your associates, directors or employees, or someone with whom you have business dealings) you must ensure that you are entitled to disclose that information to us and that, without our taking any further steps, we may process that information in accordance with this Policy.

It is important that the Personal Data we hold about you is accurate and current. Please let us know if your Personal Data changes during your relationship with us.
What If You Do Not Provide The Personal Data We Request?

If we need to use your Personal Data for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and we will explain the legal basis which allows us to do so.
Anonymization
In some circumstances we may anonymize your Personal Data so that it can no longer be associated with you, in which case it is no longer Personal Data and no longer subject to the GDPR.

To withdraw your consent, please contact info@dentonvacuum.com. Once we have received notification that you have withdrawn your consent, we will no longer process your information for the purpose(s) to which you originally consented unless there are compelling legitimate grounds for further processing that override your interests, rights and freedoms or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims. In case we processed your Personal Data for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time, in which case we will no longer process your Personal Data for such marketing purposes.

Upon conclusion of the applicable retention period we will securely destroy your Personal Data in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
Fees
Generally, you will not be required to pay a fee to exercise your rights under this Privacy Policy.
