When You enter into an agreement with us or when You buy our product(s) from our Website, we may collect Your Personal Information such as Your identity and contact details provided by You in the context of our agreement with You (e.g., professional function or the delivery address). We process this information in order to fulfill our contractual obligations to You, and, if You are a Customer, to deliver our products or provide our services, including processing, performing or delivering orders or processing payments and communicating with You in this context. If You are a Customer as an individual and not on behalf of a business, we rely on the necessity of processing Your Personal Information for the performance of the contract we have with You. However, when You act on behalf of a company or other legal entity, we rely on our legitimate interest in being able to contract with our customers and suppliers. We will also collect certain Sensitive Personal Information from You such as Your financial information if You make purchases with us, including Your billing address, delivery address, credit/debit card number, expiration date, security code, or other billing/payment information as needed. We process this information in order to process, ship, and follow-up on Your order. We rely on an agreement that we have with You, Your business, or Your employer in order to carry out the same. If You contact our customer service department (e.g., to provide feedback about our products or services or report an issue with the same), we collect Your identity and contact details as provided by You in Your inquiry. We process this information in order to communicate with You and address Your concerns, and rely on our legitimate interests in prioritizing high customer satisfaction. If You are an existing Customer, we collect and store Your email address and prior purchase history. We process this information in order to send You electronic communications and we rely on our legitimate interests to inform You about our products and services, as well as to improve our customer relationships.
When You contact our customer service team, or otherwise contact us via telephone, email, or any other digital communication channel, we collect Your Personal Information such as Your name, e-mail address, the content of Your communication, the technical details of the communication itself (e.g., date and time) and, if applicable, the device You used.

We rely on our legitimate interest in being able to respond to requests, questions, or comments or to contact You proactively for questions of any kind.
When You attend or participate in one of our sweepstakes or contests, we may collect certain Personal Information about You such as Your name, address, e-mail address, telephone number, the company You work for or Your professional position. We process this information in order to handle Your registration and prepare, organize, and secure our events. We may also collect Your feedback about the event in which You participated as well as Your identity and contact details provided to us in that regard, unless You provided feedback anonymously. We process this information in order to evaluate the event and improve our future events. We rely on our legitimate interest to be able to organize future events that may be of interest to You, or to promote our products or services. We may also collect, with Your consent, Your Sensitive Personal Information, such as photographs taken during the event on which You are recognizable.
Occasionally, we may obtain information about You from third-parties, such as a data aggregator or vendor to provide us with additional information about our existing Customers (this is known as “data appending”), which may include information from Your account profile. We may also receive information from third-party co-sponsors who we may partner with occasionally to run special promotions, contests or sweepstakes, and we may use that information to contact You directly. We may also receive information about Customers from other companies that we may acquire. We may also receive information about You from other sources online, such as push notifications You may receive on Your web browser or mobile phone.
We collect Your Personal Information and Sensitive Personal Information for various reasons, which are described below:
We hold Your Personal Information both electronically and/or in hard copy form. We may store Your information on our own premises or the premises of our third-party processors or other service providers. We only store and maintain Your Personal Information for as long as is necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected. For example, if You sign up to receive Our newsletter, we will store and maintain Your Personal Information to continue to send You these materials until You opt out of receiving such communications. With regards to Your Personal Information collected for our analytics purposes and used to help maintain and improve our Website and App, we only store and maintain that information until it is aggregated and used to create a new anonymous data set that no longer contains Your Personal Information, and then delete the underlying Personal Information once that new data set has been created. If You are one of our valued Customers and have created an account with us, we store Your Information as long as Your account remains active, and then delete it when You delete the account, with the exception of any information that we are legally required to maintain longer. If You are a Customer and You do not have an account, we only store Your information as long as needed to support Your purchase and relationship with us. When we no longer have a legal need, or You close or delete Your account with us, or otherwise ask us to delete Your account, we will do so securely in accordance with our document retention policy.
Ansell does not sell Your Personal Information without informing You of the same first. In the event Ansell sells Your Personal Information to third parties, You have the right, at any time, to direct us not to sell Your Personal Information. Additionally, Ansell utilizes Google Analytics to collect information about Your use of our Website, which may be considered a sale under certain state privacy laws.
