We collect Other Data about you whenever you interact with our websites and solutions. Examples of this data include the length and time of your visit, the pages you looked at on our site, the type of Internet Browser you have and the site you visited just before coming to ours. We use these data to develop ideas for improving our site, to measure site activity, to enable selected third parties to provide us with information on the companies visiting our site, and to provide you with information about our products. This may include disclosing it to our Providers.
The Other Data we receive is for Owens Corning's use only and is not disclosed to any other party except in aggregate form, except as otherwise described in this Privacy Policy or where we are required to do so under applicable law. In some instances, we may combine Other Data with Personal Data. If we do, we will treat the combined data as Personal Data for as long as it is combined.
HOW WE PROTECT DATA
We have implemented internal data protection and related policies, as well as appropriate technical, organizational, and administrative security measures to protect data, including Personal Data, from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosures, alterations, or destruction. We keep Personal Data secure and make it accessible only to authorized personnel as needed to perform operations governed by this Privacy Policy and our internal data protection policies and measures. Please keep in mind that despite these efforts, Owens Corning cannot guarantee or warrant 100% security of the Personal Data held by us; nor can we guarantee that Personal Data that you submit will not be intercepted
HOW WE DISCLOSE PERSONAL DATA
Your Personal Data may be stored and processed in any country where Owens Corning has affiliates, facilities, or in which we engage service providers relating to our contractual relationships or other legitimate purposes. By interacting with us, you understand that your Personal Data may be transferred to countries outside of your country of residence, including the United States, which may have data protection rules that are different from those of your country. In certain circumstances, courts, law enforcement agencies, regulatory agencies or security authorities in those other countries may be entitled to request access to your Personal Data.
Some of the non-EEA or UK countries are recognized, for example by the European Commission, as providing an adequate level of data protection. For transfers from the EEA or UK to countries not considered adequate by the appropriate authority, we have put in place appropriate safeguards, such as standard contractual clauses to protect your Personal Data.
