Please take a moment to read the following to learn more about our information practices, including what type of information is gathered, how the information is used and for what purposes, to whom we disclose the information, and how we safeguard your PII. Your privacy is a priority at The GMI Group, and we go to great lengths to protect it.

About the Policy

Please regularly review our Privacy Policy. If you have objections to the Privacy Policy, you should immediately discontinue use of the Site and the Product Services enabled by the Site and follow the procedure described in the section entitled "Your Privacy Preferences". This Privacy Policy does not govern privacy practices associated with offline activities, websites other than the Site, or Product Services not available or enabled via the Site, except as expressly set forth in the section entitled "Data not collected on this Site." Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that any terms of the Privacy Policy conflict with the terms of an existing written (including electronic) agreement between you and The GMI Group regarding the use of specific areas of the Site or specific Product Services (including Product Service-specific licenses, terms of use, or privacy disclosures) (collectively, “Product Agreements”), the terms of the Product Agreements shall govern.

Changes in Privacy Policy
All PII ("PII" is defined as any information that identifies or can be used to identify the person to whom such information pertains) that we collect and maintain will be subject to this Privacy Policy, as amended from time to time. GMI may change the Privacy Policy from time to time at its sole discretion and will provide notice of changes in the Privacy Policy and on this GMI Group website here. If as the result of such changes you want to alter the ways in which GMI is allowed to use your PII, you can do so by following the procedure described in the section entitled "Your Privacy Preferences". You will be deemed to have been made aware of, and will be subject to, the changes to the Privacy Policy after such notice has been posted with the following exception: if at the time you provide PII to The GMI Group you limit how such information will be used to communicate with you, either by The GMI Group or by third parties, The GMI Group will not change your preference in this regard without your express consent. However, if GMI sells assets (or the assets of a division or subsidiary) to another entity, or the Site (or a division or subsidiary) is acquired by or merged with another entity, you agree that GMI may provide to such entity customer information that is related to that part of our organization that was sold to or merged with the other entity without obtaining your further consent, but GMI will provide notice of such asset sales, acquisitions, or mergers on this Site.

Collection Entity
Any PII on this Site is collected on behalf of The GMI Group, who is responsible for this site. The GMI Group's address is 503 Wylly Avenue, Sanford, FL 32773-5261 USA, and its telephone number is 407-221-0657. The Site contains links to other sites at which PII is collected. In such instances, unless expressly provided to the contrary, the collection and use of your PII will be governed by the privacy policy applicable to that site.

You have the right to access and correct your PII and privacy preferences at any time. With respect to Registration Information (as defined in the section entitled “Information Security”), this may be accomplished by linking to your account at Edit Your Account, where you can view and make changes to your PII. PII submitted through this Site or in connection with the Product Services that is not Registration Information is not accessible online. You may expect up to 30 days for any changes made in Privacy Preferences to occur. For information submitted in connection with Product Services, you may also follow instructions included or referenced within such Product Service to access or correct the information.

Why we collect information
We collect your PII when it helps us deliver a superior level of customer service. As a visitor to this Site, you can engage in many activities without providing any PII. In connection with other activities, such as utilizing online or hosted Product Services, The GMI Group may ask you to provide certain information about yourself by filling out and submitting a form. It is optional for you to engage in these activities. If you elect to engage in these activities, however, The GMI Group may ask that you provide PII, such as your first and last name, mailing address (including ZIP code), country of residence, e-mail address, employer, job title and department, telephone and facsimile numbers, and other PII.

Mandatory Information
When ordering Product Services via the Site, you may be asked to provide a credit card number. Depending upon the activity, some of the information that we ask you to provide is identified as mandatory and some as voluntary. If you do not provide the mandatory data with respect to a particular activity, you will not be able to engage in that activity. Similarly, if you wish to delete your information (pursuant to the mechanism set forth in “Your Privacy Preferences”) that is mandatory, you will no longer be able to engage in a particular activity.

Environmental Datasets
When you use the Site and the Product Services, The GMI Group may also collect certain information about your computer to facilitate and evaluate your use of the Site and the Product Services. For example, we may log environmental variables, such as browser type, operating system, CPU speed, referring or exit webpages, and the Internet Protocol (IP) address of your computer. The GMI Group also uses such information to measure traffic patterns on the Site and usage of the Product Services. We do not match such information with any other information held by GMI unless we have your consent.

User Acknowledgement
By using this Site and the Product Services, you agree and acknowledge that PII collected through the Site or in connection with the Product Services may be transferred across national boundaries and stored and processed in our offices in the United States. You also acknowledge that with respect to certain activities, the collection, transfer, storage, and processing of your information may be undertaken by trusted third parties. Such third parties are bound by contract with GMI to not distribute or retain your PII. One example, is with framed pages in which the URL for the pages is not visible, and the pages are hosted for The GMI Group by such third parties, but appear to be GMI pages and are governed by the The GMI Group privacy policy.

Relevant Provisions
The GMI Group has established relationships with various retailers, suppliers, and service providers (collectively, the “Providers”) whose services, products or wares (collectively, the “ProvidersProduct”) may be available to you from the Site, from websites that are linked to the Site, or in connection with our manufactured durable goods (“GMIProducts”) or GMI Product Services. Some Providers offer ProvidersProduct that GMI customers might find useful, such as those that can be used in conjunction with GMIProducts or GMI Product Services. In order to use such ProvidersProduct, you may be required to provide PII to the Providers. Unless expressly provided to the contrary, PII that you provide while you are visiting a Provider's website will be subject to the privacy policy posted on that site, and PII that you provide while on the Site will be subject to this Privacy Policy.

Relevant Experiences
In order to reduce errors in our database, authenticate our users, prevent abuse of our Site and the Product Services, and provide more consistent, relevant experiences to our users, we may on occasion supplement the PII you submit to us with information from third-party sources. For example, if permitted under applicable law, we may supplement your Registration Information with address information provided by the U.S. Postal Service to qualify your information and prevent errors in our database. As permissible, we may also supplement the information you provide to us with demographic and other information (such as age or interests) stored in third-party databases in order to make it more likely that opt-in marketing communications we send will be of interest to you.

Registration Information
The GMI Group collects your information in order to record, support and facilitate your participation in any activities you may select. If you subscribe to or register for Product Services, for example, the information is used to register your rights, if any, to datasheets, price-sheets, support or other benefits that may be made available to registered users. As another example, if you enter a contest, information is collected to qualify the entry and to contact you regarding the contest or prize awards. Your PII is also used to track customer preferences and keep you informed about product upgrades, special offers, and other products and services of The GMI Group and selected third parties if you have opted-in to receive such communications.

Statistical Analysis
GMI may collect information about the use of the Product Services and the Site, such as the number of downloads, types of Services used, how many users the Site receives daily, and the IP/Internet address of your computer. This information is collected in aggregate form, without identifying any user individually. The GMI Group may use this aggregate, non-identifying statistical data for improving the Site and the Product Services, providing more relevant experiences to our customers and for statistical analysis.

Responsible Usage
The GMI Group recognizes and appreciates the importance of responsible use of information collected on the Site and in connection with GMIProducts and GMI Product Services. The GMI Group will respect your legal rights regarding access to and correction and deletion of your PII. GMI may communicate information to you regarding products, services, and special offers available from this Site prior to you opting-in to receive such communications. This activity may be made by possible by information acquired through means other than Site collected information. We may also find it necessary to communicate with you regarding your use of the Site and the Product Services. Except in the particular circumstances described in this Privacy Policy, GMI will not provide your name or information to other organizations without your express consent.

Information Disclosure
There may be instances in which The GMI Group may be required by law, regulatory action, or litigation to disclose your PII. We may also be required to disclose information about you if we determine that for national security, law enforcement, or other issues of public importance, disclosure is necessary.

Information Security
The PII that you provide in connection with registering yourself as a user of the Site or of the Product Services is classified as Registration Information. Registration Information is protected in several ways. Access by you to your Registration Information is available through an encrypted password and unique customer ID. Do not disclose your GMI Group Site password to anyone. Additionally, your Registration Information resides on secure servers that only GMI security personnel have access to via password. The GMI Group Site encrypts your PII and thereby strives to prevent unauthorized parties from viewing such information when it is transmitted. Non-registration information also resides on secure servers and since this type of information is not accessible online by you, there is no requirement for password selection in regards to it.

SiteBlog Information
Please note that any information you post to a public bulletin board, blog or chat room, such as The GMI Group SiteBlogs (the “Forums”), is available to all persons accessing that location, and your e-mail address may also be posted on these Communications Venues (the “Venues”). The information you share, including your email address, would then be available to all persons accessing these Venues, and such information may be read, collected or used by others for any purpose, including sending you unsolicited messages. Neither The GMI Group (nor its subsidiaries) is responsible for any information you elect to submit in these Venues or the use of such information. In addition, you should be aware that the Forums offer a service in which subscribers are e-mailed a copy of all messages posted to the Forums on a particular topic. Consequently, if you post a message to the Forums, your e-mail address will be sent to those subscribers who have indicated an interest in the topic of your message.

Data Not Collected
Any PII that is not collected on the Site or in connection with the Product Services is not generally subject to this Privacy Policy. However, all PII submitted on this Site and by other means in regards to GMIProducts is classified as Registration Information and is subject to this Privacy Statement. This Privacy Policy also covers licensee information provided in connection with GMIProducts' volume licensing program. If you wish to access and/or correct such information, please see instructions for doing so in the section entitled “Your Privacy Preferences”.

Cookie Information
The GMI Group may use “cookies” or similar devices to track your activities on this Site. A cookie is small amount of data that is transferred to your browser by a web server and can only be read by the server that gave it to you. It functions as your identification card and enables The GMI Group to record your passwords, purchases, and preferences. It cannot be executed as code or deliver viruses. We use cookies and other technologies to study traffic patterns on the Site and to customize your experience each time you interact with us. The GMI Group does not generally use this information to identify you personally. However, if you expressly provide consent for the Site or the Product Service to "remember" you when you register on the Site or for the Product Services, that unique identifier will be stored on a cookie on your computer and will be linked to your Registration Information. Cookies are not optional for some web pages requiring authorization, users choosing not to accept cookies or similar devices will probably not be able to access those pages or related Product Services.

Beacon Information
Like most Web sites, this Site gathers certain information and stores it in log files automatically. This information may include internet protocol addresses, browser type, operating system, date/time stamp, internet service providers, referring or exit pages, and clickstream data. This Site may use an assistive process known as “Pixel-Tags” to augment this type of data collection. A Pixel-Tag is a tiny graphic image embedded in a web page or email which is used to track when the page or email has been viewed. This device is similar to a cookie in that it tracks your visit and the data can only be read by the server that receives the data. It is different than a cookie in that it is not browser-based, may not function as an identification card, and does not store any data on your computer. GMI uses this information, which does not identify individual users, to analyze trends, administer the site and to gather demographic information.

Clickstream Information
A “Clickstream” is a record of a user's activity at the Site. Pixel-Tags and other technologies are used to facilitate Clickstreams at this Site and in some e-mails from the Site. This GMI Group Site gathers Clickstream data and stores it in log files automatically. This data aids in tracking site activity but does not contain any PII. When a user clicks on a Site link or link within an e-mail from the Site, Clickstream data is passed through our web servers and logged before arriving at the destination web page. If you prefer not to be tracked simply avoid clicking text or graphic links in the Site e-mail or Site pages. Alternatively, a user may manually enter any destination to the Site into a web browser to bypass Clickstream data collection, however the web server may still log internet protocol addresses, browser type, operating system, date/time stamp, internet service providers, of the user and referring locations of the page accessed.

Premalignant Conditions
As a public service, The GMI Group wants everyone to be conscious of the obvious. PII is everywhere. When you receive mail at your home or business, on the front of the envelope for anyone to access, your address, your PII. As if that isn't enough, anyone can go into any U.S. Post Office and submit a change of address from anywhere to anywhere using no PII and thereby obtain anyone’s PII. Can you say "identity theft"?

Informational Apocalypse
And then there are credit card companies and governments which retain hundreds of billions of records in which countless versions of your PII is potentially available to any number of individuals who show up to work every Monday morning with no other cause than to scarf a paycheck (and anything else) by the end of the week. How many such employees have access to your PII at those locales? From a retail clerk at a coffee shop, to the bank teller, to the personnel at the church you may attend; all of these may have potentially unfettered access to your PII. There are many more examples, but you have been made aware...

GMI's Commitment
The GMI Group takes protecting your privacy very seriously. To make sure your PII is secure, we communicate these guidelines to all GMI Group personnel and strictly enforce privacy safeguards within the organization itself. For example, only two GMI Corporate Officers have access to servers containing your PII. In addition, GMI supports industry initiatives ‒ such as the Online Privacy Alliance ‒ to preserve privacy rights on the Internet and in all aspects of electronic commerce. GMI also abides by the U.S. Department of Commerce Privacy Shield Framework regarding the collection, use, and retention of PII. The GMI Group does not knowingly solicit PII from minors or send them requests for PII.

Additional Information
If you have any additional questions or concerns about The GMI Group's Privacy Policy or data retention, or if you believe that The GMI Group has not complied with this Privacy Policy with respect to your PII, you may write to the The GMI Group Privacy Officer (the “GMI Group PO”) at the address found on the ContactUs page. In your letter, please describe any concerns or in as much detail as possible the ways in which you believe that The GMI Group's Privacy Policy has not been adhered to or complied with. Serious inquiries will contain your PII such as the type aggregated on the Site. We will investigate your concerns promptly and you will receive acknowledgment of how any issues or concerns were resolved only at the completion of our investigation or resolution.
