By viewing or using this Website, you are agreeing to the terms set forth in this
Privacy Policy:
1. Personal Information Collected For
purposes of this Privacy Policy, “Personal
Information” means any information, required by the Website to submit
in order to proceed, and by which you can be personally identified, and includes your name,
address, telephone number, e-mail address, account number, and similar information.
This Website will not collect any Personal Information about individuals except
where it is specifically, voluntarily, and knowingly provided by them. The Personal
Information collected will be used to send you the information you have requested
and to provide information that may be useful to you. We may share non-personal,
aggregate statistics (group data) about our site visitors’ traffic patterns with
partners or other parties; however, we do not sell or share any Personal Information
about individual users.
2. Use and Retention of Personal Information
It is Coats & Clark’s policy to maintain all Personal Information as confidential,
regardless of the purpose for which it is submitted, and to use such Personal Information
only for the following purposes: (a) For the specific purpose for which it was volunteered;
(b) To
track our visitors’ use of the Website for internal market research; and
(c) To notify our visitors of updates to the Website, promotional product opportunities,
or other services or products that we think you will find valuable and interesting.
It is Coats & Clark’s policy to keep Personal Information only for so long as
needed for such purposes. Coats & Clark does not sell,
rent or otherwise distribute
to third parties Personal Information about visitors to the Website, except as needed
for Coats & Clark to provide the services for which such Personal Information
was volunteered. The Website contains links to sites controlled by, and pages maintained
by, independent third parties. Coats & Clark does not control use of Personal
Information provided to such third parties. If you access other sites using the
links provided, the operators of these sites may collect Personal Information from
you which will then be used by them in accordance with their privacy policy, which
may differ from this Privacy Policy.
Given the global nature of both the Internet and Coats & Clark / Coats Ltd.,
using the Internet to collect and process Personal Information usually involves
the transmission of data on an international basis. By browsing the Website and
communicating electronically with us, you agree that we may export Personal Information
to one or more of our offices in other countries and process it there in accordance
with this Privacy Policy. Although data may be held in countries that do not have
strict data privacy laws, we do take steps to maintain the privacy and security
of your Personal Information.
3. Protection of Children’s Privacy
Coats & Clark / Coats Ltd. does not knowingly collect personal information of
any sort from children under the age of 13. If Coats & Clark becomes aware that
it has inadvertently gathered personal information from a child under the age of
13, we will delete that information from our system.
4. Access Rights
You have a right to review Personal Information about you that is held by Coats
& Clark. To obtain a copy of your personal information, or to request deletion
of all Personal Information about you in Coats & Clark’s possession, please submit your request to our Consumer Services department as set out in the “Contact
Us” section of the Website.

to the provisions of California law.
