How we use personal information

In this section, we set out the purposes for which we process personal information and identify the legal grounds on which we rely to process the information.

In some cases, CANNON QUALITY GROUP has a legitimate interest to process the personal information that we collect, such as to support our recruitment activities, administer our products and services (including to support, communicate about, and analyze the use of our products and services), establish and maintain customer accounts, and operate, evaluate, and improve our business, our websites, and other products and services we offer (including research and development of new products and services), or facilitate a sale of assets or merger or acquisition.
In other cases, CANNON QUALITY GROUP processes personal information to fulfill our contracts with our customers and provide the requested products and services.

CANNON QUALITY GROUP may also process personal information with individuals’ consent, for which individuals will receive notice at the time of collection.

In limited situations, it may be necessary for CANNON QUALITY GROUP to process personal information in order to comply with our legal obligations, such as to protect against, identify, investigate, and respond to fraud, illegal activity (such as incidents of hacking or misuse of our websites, products or services), claims and other liabilities, including by enforcing the terms and conditions that govern the services we provide.

We may also aggregate and/or de-identify any information that we collect, such that the information no longer identifies any specific individual. We may use, disclose, and otherwise process such information for our own legitimate business purposes – including historical and statistical analysis as well as business planning – without restriction.

How we share personal information

CANNON QUALITY GROUP may share personal information as described in this Privacy Policy. In all cases, we take measures to share only the information that is needed to fulfill the purposes for which we share the information.

We may share personal information with:

  • CANNON QUALITY GROUP affiliates and subsidiaries, for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy

If we engage in such sale or transfer (or related negotiations), we will – where required by applicable law – make reasonable efforts to direct the recipient to use the personal information we provide in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Policy. After such sale or transfer, individuals may contact the recipient with any inquiries concerning the processing of their personal information.

Cookies and other information collected by automated means

We, our service providers and our business partners may collect certain information about the use of our website by automated means, such as cookies, web beacons, and other technologies. A “cookie” is a text file that websites send to a visitor‘s computer or other Internet-connected devices to uniquely identify the visitor’s browser or store information or settings in the browser. Please see our Cookies Policy for further information. A “web beacon,” also known as an Internet tag, pixel tag, or clear GIF, is used to transmit information back to a web server. We, and our service providers and business partners, may collect information about individuals’ online activities over time and across third-party websites when an individual uses our website.

The information that may be collected by automated means includes:

  • Details about the devices that are used to access our websites (such as IP address, operating system, and web browser)
  • Location information, for example, of a mobile device accessing our websites
  • Dates and times of visits to, and use of, our websites
  • Information about how our websites are used (such as the content that is viewed on our websites and how users navigate between our web pages)
  • URLs that refer visitors to our website
  • Search terms used to reach our website

Web browsers may offer users of our websites the ability to disable certain types of cookies; however, if cookies are disabled, some features or functionality of our websites may not function correctly.

Some of the business partners that collect information about users’ activities on our websites may be members of organizations or programs that provide choices to individuals regarding the use of their browsing behavior for purposes of targeted advertising. For example, users may opt-out of receiving targeted advertising on websites through members of the Network Advertising Initiative or the Digital Advertising Alliance. European users may opt-out of receiving targeted advertising on websites through members of the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance, selecting the user’s country, and then clicking “Choices” (or similarly-titled link). Please note that we also may work with companies that offer their own opt-out mechanisms and may not participate in the opt-out mechanisms that we linked above.

Because there is not yet a consensus on how companies should respond to web browser-based do-not-track (“DNT”) mechanisms, we do not respond to web browser-based DNT signals at this time.

SECURITY AND DATA RETENTION

Our retention periods for personal information are based on business needs and legal requirements. We retain personal information for as long as is necessary for the processing purpose(s) for which the information was collected, and any other permissible related purpose. When we no longer need the personal information we collect, we either irreversibly “anonymize” the information (in which case, we may further retain and use the “anonymized” information) or securely destroy the information.

Privacy preferences, rights, and choices

Individuals have certain rights and may make certain choices regarding CANNON QUALITY GROUP’s processing of their personal information.
Please note that if the exercise of these rights limits our ability to process personal information, we may be precluded from providing our products or services to individuals who exercise these rights, or from otherwise engaging with such individuals going forward.

We reserve the right to verify the identity of the individual in connection with any requests regarding personal information to help ensure that we provide the information to individuals to whom the information pertains and allow only those individuals or their authorized representatives to exercise rights with respect to that information.

General objections to the processing of personal information

To the extent provided by applicable law, individuals may withdraw any consent previously provided to us or object at any time on legitimate grounds, to the processing of their personal information. We will apply these preferences going forward. In some circumstances, withdrawing consent to CANNON QUALITY GROUP’s use or disclosure of personal information may mean that CANNON QUALITY GROUP will no longer be able to provide certain products or services to individuals who withdraw consent.
