Additionally, when you visit our Site we automatically collect information that does not personally identify you or others (“non-personally identifiable information”). Personal Data: Personal Data is a legal term that describes information that identifies a particular person and has special meaning under European Union law.

We do not automatically collect your Personal Data unless and until you have shared it with us. This Statement does not apply to information about our business customers that are not natural persons. Non-Personally Identifiable and Technical Information: Whenever you use a website, mobile application, or other internet service, certain information is created and retained by the website or application. This happens with our Site as well. We collect technical information that does not personally identify you when you use our Site, or information that has been made anonymous, such as: Log data: Our servers automatically record information when you use our Site, such as your IP address, the type of browser you are using and its settings, the third party website you visited immediately prior to accessing our Site, the operating system you are using, the domain name of your Internet service provider, the search terms you use on our Site, the specific Site pages you visit, type of product selected, the brand, order, and product identifications, and the duration of your visits. Cookie data: Like many Sites, we use “cookies” to obtain certain types of information when your web browser accesses our Site. "Cookies" are small text files that we transfer to your computer's hard drive or your Web browser memory to enable our systems to recognize your browser and to provide convenience and other features to you, such as recognizing you as a frequent user of our Site. We may use “session cookies” (cookies that last until you close your browser) or “persistent cookies” (cookies that last until you or your browser delete them). Examples of the information we collect and analyze from cookies include your activity on our Site, including the URL you come from and go to next (whether this URL is on our site or not). Remember that the cookies that we use do not contain and are not tied to Personal Data. If you are concerned about the storage and use of cookies, you may be able to direct your internet browser to notify you and seek approval whenever a cookie is being sent to your Web browser or hard drive. You may also delete a cookie manually from your hard drive through your internet browser or other programs. Please note, however, that some parts of our Site will not function properly or be available to you if you refuse to accept a cookie or choose to disable the acceptance of cookies. We may also collect information pertinent to the marketing of our products and services. We use third party products like Adobe Typekit (www.typekit.com), Google Fonts (fonts.google.com), Font Awesome (fontawesome.io) and Bootstrap (www.getbootstrap.com) to enhance your experience on our website. These products may also collect information pertinent to the marketing of their products and services. How We Use Information We Collect Personal Data: We will only use your personal data for the reasons we told you about when we collected it. AK Steel International will process (collect, store and use) the information you provide in compliance with the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Non-personally Identifiable Information: We use your non-personally identifiable information in a variety of ways, including to help analyze Site traffic, understand customer needs and trends, and to improve our products and services. We may use non-personally identifiable information by itself or aggregate it with similar information we have obtained from others. We may share your non-personally identifiable information with our affiliates and other third parties to achieve these objectives. We reserve the right to use IP addresses to identify a visitor when we feel it is necessary to: (a) fulfill a government request; (b) conform with the requirements of the law or legal process; (c) protect or defend our legal rights or property, our Site, or other users; or (d) in an emergency to protect the health and safety of our Site’s users or the general public. Google Analytics: A web analysis service of Google Inc. ("Google") is used on this website. The use includes the "Universal Analytics" operating mode. This makes it possible to assign data, sessions and interactions across multiple devices to a pseudonymous user ID and thus analyze a user's activities across devices. Google Analytics uses "cookies", which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users interact with the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, if IP anonymisation is activated on this website, Google will reduce your IP address within Member States of the European Union or in other states party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area beforehand. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. We would like to point out that on this website Google Analytics has been extended to include IP anonymisation in order to ensure anonymous collection of IP addresses (so-called IP masking). The IP address transmitted by your browser in the context of Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data. For more information on terms of use and data protection, please visit https://www.google.com/analytics/terms/gb.html or https://policies.google.com/?hl=en. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide the website operator with other services related to website and Internet use. The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a of the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The recipient of the collected data is Google. Personal data will be transferred to the USA under the EU-US Privacy Shield on the basis of the European Commission's adequacy decision. You can download the certificate here. The data sent by us and linked to cookies, user-identifiers (e.g. User-IDs) or advertising-identifiers are automatically deleted after 14 months. Data whose retention period has been reached is automatically deleted once a month. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future by blocking the storage of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly; however, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all functionalities of this website to their full extent. You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) and from processing this data by Google by downloading and installing the Browser Add-on. Opt-out cookies will prevent future collection of your data when you visit this website.
