WHAT IS PERSONAL DATA?
“Personal data” refers to information related to an identified or identifiable natural person. Personal data may include your name, phone numbers, physical addresses and email addresses. It also may include payment information, such as credit-card information, if you order Uponor products or services from us, and provide such information in order to do so. Uponor uses a secure, certified system for the collection and storage of such payment information. When you provide customer payment information via our website, Uponor does not have access to that information, which is processed by a third-party service provider Uponor contracts with to provide a certified payment system for such online transactions.
Uponor does not sell, and does not otherwise disclose, your personal information to third parties, other than as described in this Privacy Policy. We may, however, transfer your personal information to vendors or service providers who perform functions on our behalf; for example, to fulfill orders you place with Uponor, to deliver packages, to process credit card payments, to provide customer services, or to perform email administrative functions. These vendors and service providers are contractually obligated to use your personal information only for the purposes for which they were hired, and are required to take adequate security measures to ensure a comparable level of protection for your personal information. In some cases, Uponor’s vendors and service providers may be located outside of Canada, with the effect that the personal information you provide may be sent to another jurisdiction for processing, and while in that jurisdiction, may be accessible to foreign court, law, and national security authorities of that jurisdiction.
