Use of Cookies, Web Beacons, and Similar Technologies Like most websites, we collect information online through “cookies” and other web analytics. Cookies are pieces of information stored directly on the computer you are using. They do not identify the person using the computer or otherwise affect the computer, but rather tell us such things as how many users visited our website, the pages accessed, and whether there were any problems or delays in loading pages. By collecting this information, we learn how to best tailor our websites to our visitors and ensure that they function properly. Some cookies are essential in order to enable you to move around our website and use its features, such as accessing secured areas. Other cookies collect information about how visitors use the website (for instance, which pages visitors go to most often, and if they get error messages from web pages). When combined with information collected when you register on a website, cookies allow us to welcome you back to the website or otherwise provide enhanced, more personal features. Most browsers accept cookies automatically, but can be configured not to do so or to notify the user when a cookie is being sent. If you wish to disable cookies, refer to your browser help menu to learn how to disable cookies. Please note that if you disable cookies, you may be unable to access some customized features on our website and it may not work properly. “Web beacons “and similar technologies are tiny or transparent images that, for example, allow us and third parties to count the number of users who have visited a particular web page or to access certain cookies. When you access a page containing a beacon, you establish a communication with a web server, which collects certain information about your computer or device. This information may include your IP address, browser type, operating system type, and identifiers that have been stored in cookies. We may use beacons on our sites to count the number of visitors to our sites and to recognize users by accessing unique identifiers stored in cookies that we have set on their computers or devices. Being able to access these identifiers enables us to provide a personalized experience on our sites. We may also include beacons in advertisements or in email messages to determine how these are acted on. For more information about how we use cookies, please see our cookies policy which is available through this website. Sharing Your Information With Others We may share the information we collect with the following types of entities, including those which may be located outside your country of residence: Within Flint Group. Flint Group may transfer your personal information to other Flint Group-owned business entities. By accessing Flint Group websites, registering for an account or service, or otherwise providing Flint Group with your personal information, you consent to this transfer of your personal information throughout the global Flint Group network of entities. Service Providers and Suppliers. Flint Group retains service providers and suppliers to manage or support its business operations, provide professional services, deliver products, services and customer solutions, and assist with our product warranties. These providers and suppliers may be located in the EU or other locations where we do business. These parties may use the information solely in conjunction with the specific services they provide for us. For example, some service providers may be involved in fulfilling orders for us or assisting us ensuring that our websites are up-to-date and customer focused. For Legal Purposes. We may disclose information to third parties for legal or compliance purposes, such as to protect the security of the website or to help detect fraud. For Corporate Transactions. There may occasionally be strategic or other business reasons that prompt Flint Group to sell, buy, merge or otherwise reorganize businesses in some countries. Those corporate restructuring situations may involve the disclosure of personal information to prospective or actual purchasers, or the receipt of it from sellers. It is Flint Group’s practice to seek appropriate protection for information in these types of transactions. Otherwise with Your Consent. In addition to the sharing described or permitted by this Privacy Policy, we may share information about you with third parties if you provide consent to such sharing. Except as described in this Statement, Flint Group will not share the personal information you provide to Flint Group with non-Flint Group third parties without your permission, unless to: (i) respond to duly authorized information requests of police and governmental authorities; (ii) comply with any law, regulation, subpoena, or court order; (iii) investigate and help prevent security threats, fraud or other malicious activity; (iv) enforce/protect the rights and properties of Flint Group or its subsidiaries; or (v) protect the rights or personal safety of Flint Group, our employees, and third parties on or using Flint Group property when allowed and in line with the requirements of applicable law. If we share your data within our company or with service providers that we retain, we require them to uphold a similar level of protection for your data as that provided by Flint Group. . Transfer of Information Out of Your Country Consistent with this Policy as in accordance with applicable legal requirements, we may collect, transfer, store, and process your information outside your country of residence. Please note that the data protection and other laws of countries to which your information may be transferred might not be as comprehensive as those in your country. Nevertheless, Flint Group has taken steps to ensure an adequate level of protection of your data irrespective of the country where it is transferred. Keeping Your Information Secure Flint Group has adopted reasonable and appropriate physical, technical and administrative procedures and measures that are designed to prevent unauthorized access or disclosure, maintain data accuracy, and ensure appropriate use of the information that you provide to us. Flint Group retains data only as required or permitted by local law and while it has a legitimate business purpose. The personal information you provide us is stored on computer systems located in controlled facilities which have limited access. When we transmit highly confidential information over the internet, we protect it through the use of encryption and other safeguards. Links to Other Websites Our website may contain links to other websites that are not owned or operated by Flint Group. If you access those links, you will leave the Flint Group site.

Flint Group is not responsible for the personal information you choose to provide in these forums. Children's Privacy Flint Group does not knowingly collect information from children as defined by local law, and does not target its websites to children. If we learn that we collected any information from children, we will purge it immediately, except for responding to a question or inquiry on a one-time basis from the individual. We encourage parents and guardians to take an active role in their children’s online activities and interests. Right of Access, Correction, and Objection Flint Group strives to keep your personal information accurately recorded. We have implemented processes and policies to help maintain data accuracy. Consistent with applicable laws, we also provide individuals with reasonable access to personal information that they provided to Flint Group and the reasonable ability to review and correct it or ask for anonymization, blockage, or deletion, as applicable.
