Different countries have different privacy laws and requirements, and some, including the United States, may provide less legal protection for your personal information than others. If you object to the transfer of your information to the United States, please do not use Dow’s website or provide Dow with that information. Use of Special Features or Areas of Our Website This Privacy Statement may be supplemented by additional privacy statements that may be specific to individual Dow websites or features, such as our investor and career sites. Dow’s websites may include special features such as surveys, licensed content, online stores, or password protected areas, such as a customer-only area or a careers area, and these areas or websites may be subject to additional terms of use or privacy statements which may further specify additional personal information Dow may collect in these areas, why we need that information, and choices you may have about the use of that information. For more information please see our Global Customer Privacy Notice. When you sign up to use a special feature or password-protected area, you may be asked to agree to additional terms governing your use of the special feature or password-protected area. In such cases, you may be asked to expressly consent to the additional terms, for example, by checking a box or clicking on a button marked “I agree.” (This type of agreement is known as a “click-through” agreement.) If any of the terms of a click-through agreement or another agreement between you and Dow are different than the terms of this Privacy Statement, the terms of that agreement will control over this Privacy Statement.
