| Information about Customers, Potential Customers and Vendors | We collect the name, and contact information, of our customers, potential customers, and vendors, and their employees with whom we interact. | We use information to communicate with our customers, potential customers and vendors concerning normal business administration such as products, projects, services, and billing. |
| Cookies | We may use cookies and clear GIFs. “Cookies” are small pieces of information that a website sends to a computer’s hard drive while a web site is viewed. Clear GIFs are near-invisible graphics that allow us to track when a webpage opens and displays. | We use this information to make our websites operate efficiently, and to better understand how visitors interact with our websites. |
| Third Party Tracking | We engage with third party service providers such as Google and YouTube to support content appearing in this website and to provide analytics. As part of our user service agreement with those third-party providers, we must allow them to deploy cookies, some of which may collect information about you that they can use to track you when you go to other websites. | Our partnerships with third party service providers allow us to enhance our web content. We permit cookies on our website to participate in behavior-based advertising, which allows us to tailor our advertisements to better suit users’ interests. |
| Email Interconnectivity | If you receive email from us, we use certain tools to capture data related to when you open or interact with our messages. | We have a legitimate interest in understanding how you interact with our communications to you. |
| Employment | If you apply for a job posting, or become an employee, we collect information necessary to process your application or to retain you as an employee. This may include, among other things, your Social Security Number. Providing this information is required for employment. | We use information about current employees to perform our employment obligations (e.g., to process paychecks). In some contexts, we are also required or permitted by law to collect information about our employees, including (in some cases) health and welfare information. We also use employee-related information for efficient staffing and work force operations. We use information about job applicants to process employment applications. |
| Feedback/Support | If you provide us feedback or contact us for support we will collect your name and e-mail address, as well as any other content that you send to us, in order to reply. | We use this information to respond to your request or inquiry. |

| Surveys | If you participate in a survey we will collect information that you provide through the survey. If the survey is provided by a third party service provider, the third party’s privacy policy applies to the collection, use, and disclosure of your information. | If we decide to send a survey, we use the information that we collect to better understand the opinions of the respondents. |
| Web logs | We collect information, including your browser type, operating system, Internet Protocol (IP) address (a number that is automatically assigned to a computer when the Internet is used), domain name, click-activity, referring website, and/or a date/time stamp for visitors. | We monitor our networks and the visitors to our websites. |
In addition to the information that we collect from you, we may also receive information about you from other sources, including third parties, business partners, our affiliates, or publicly available sources.

Use and Processing of Information
In addition to the purposes and uses described above, we use information in the following ways:

Although the sections above describe our primary purpose in collecting your information, in many situations we have more than one purpose. For example, if you purchase packaging from us, we collect your information to fulfill your order, but we also collect your information because we have a legitimate interest in understanding who our customers are and what services we perform on their behalf. As a result, our collection and processing of your information is based in different contexts upon your consent, our need to perform the services for which we are engaged, our obligations under law, and/or our legitimate interest in conducting our business.

Sharing of Information
In addition to the specific situations discussed elsewhere in this policy, we disclose information in the following situations:

If another company acquires our company, business, or our assets, we will also share information with that company.
- Other Disclosures with Your Consent. We may ask if you would like us to share your information with unaffiliated third parties who are not described elsewhere in this policy.
- Other Disclosures without Your Consent. We may disclose information in response to subpoenas, warrants, discovery requests, or court orders, or in connection with any legal process, to comply with relevant laws, or otherwise to the extent permitted by law. We may also share your information in order to establish or exercise our rights, to defend against a legal claim, to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding possible illegal activities, suspected fraud, safety of person or property, or a violation of our policies, or to comply with your request for the shipment of products to or the provision of services by a third party intermediary.
- Service Providers. We may share your information with service providers. Among other things service providers may help us to administer our website, conduct surveys, provide technical support, process payments, and assist in the fulfillment of orders.
