The website located at www.contiplus.net (the “Website”) and the CONTI+ mobile application (the “App,” and collectively with the Website, the “Offerings”) are operated by ContiTech USA, Inc. (“Continental”, “we,” “us,” or “our). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect and use personally identifiable information and non-identifying information about you when you access or use the Offerings.
Please read this page carefully. By accessing the Offerings or submitting your Personal Information (defined below) in order to receive the Offerings, you agree to the terms set forth in this Privacy Policy. IF YOU DO NOT ACCEPT THE TERMS OF THIS PRIVACY POLICY, DO NOT ACCESS OR USE THE OFFERINGS.
Continental will notify you of any changes to this Privacy Policy by posting the modified Privacy Policy and its effective date on this page. Accordingly, you should visit this page periodically to identify and understand any such changes. By continuing to access or use the Offerings after a modification, you agree to be bound by the modified Privacy Policy.
1. INFORMATION COLLECTED BY CONTINENTAL
a. Collection of Personal Information
“Personal Information” means all personally-identifiable information (such as your name, physical address, e-mail address, or telephone numbers) that you submit in connection with the Offerings. Continental does not collect Personal Information unless you voluntarily submit it in connection with your use of the Offerings, send inquiries to Continental, or participate in certain activities available via the Offerings. We collect Personal Information when you choose to use certain features of the Offerings, including when you create an account on the Website or the App.
b. Information Gathered Automatically
Continental automatically collects certain non-identifying information about you (such as your movement about the Website or App, the pages you visit most frequently, the type of browser or computer operating system you use, or the domain name of the website from which you link). Continental uses “cookies” to customize and improve your use of the Offerings. Cookies are small pieces of information or data stored on your computer or mobile device that are used to determine your preferences and track certain behavior or activities when you use the Offerings. If you object to this practice, you may erase or block cookies. We recommend, however, that you allow cookies to be stored on your computer or mobile device as they may be needed to properly use the Offerings.
c. Your Content
Continental assumes no responsibility for securing any other content you submit via the Offerings. Continental has no obligation to use, or solicit or enable others to use any content you submit to us.
2. CHANGING OR REMOVING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
Continental will retain any Personal Information that you submit in connection with your account unless Continental deems such Personal Information to violate this Agreement or until such time as you decide to remove such Personal Information. You understand that deleted Personal Information may persist for a reasonable period of time in backup copies but will not be available to others.
If you wish to review, change, or remove any Personal Information that you have provided in connection with the Offerings, or if you wish to delete your account with us, please email us at [simon.bishop@fluid.contitech.co.uk].
3. USE OR DISCLOSURE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
Continental may use your Personal Information to contact you regarding the Offerings. We may also use your Personal Information to provide services requested by you and for internal research and marketing purposes. We may share your Personal Information and non-identifying information that we collect from you with our parent, subsidiaries, divisions, or affiliates.
Continental will not use, disclose, or sell your Personal information to any third parties for any purposes other than those necessary to deliver the Offerings. Otherwise, we will not sell or transfer to unaffiliated third parties any Personal Information that you submit or any non-identifying information collected without your consent.
The Personal Information and non-identifying information we collect from you may be used as follows:
i. to personalize your experience and better respond to your individual needs;
ii. to improve the Offerings;
iii. to improve customer service;
iv. to administer contests, promotions, surveys or other features for the Offerings;
v. to send periodic mailings concerning information and updates pertaining to Continental;
vi. to send special or promotional offers or discounts related to Continental or its affiliates and information related to products you have viewed via the Offerings; or
vii. as an asset in connection with a proposed or actual merger or sale (including any transfers made as part of an insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding) involving all or part of our business or as part of a corporate reorganization, stock sale or other change in control.
Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other statements or representations here or elsewhere, Continental reserves the right to disclose any Personal Information in our possession if Continental believes that such disclosure is necessary: (i) to conform to legal requirements or to respond to a subpoena, search warrant, or other legal process received by Continental, whether or not a response is required by applicable law; (ii) to enforce or protect Continental’s rights; or (iii) to protect the safety of users of Continental’s Offerings and members of the general public.
WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PERSONAL INFORMATION AND OTHER NON-IDENTIFYING INFORMATION YOU CHOOSE TO SUBMIT IN ANY PUBLICLY ACCESSIBLE AREA OF THE OFFERINGS.
4. SECURITY
Continental has reasonable security measures in place to protect Personal Information you submit in order to receive the Offerings. While no computer system or server is completely secure, we believe the measures we implement reduce security problems. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Continental cannot guarantee the security of your Personal Information. When you communicate with Continental electronically or otherwise submit your Personal Information, your communication is not necessarily secure and is subject to all of the risks of communication, including unauthorized entry or use, hardware or software failure, and other factors that may compromise the security of Personal Information at any time. Continental assumes no responsibility for the security of any Personal Information you submit.
5. LINKS
We may permit certain third parties to link to our Offerings, and the Offerings may contain links to third- party sites. Continental is not responsible for the privacy policies or practices of such third parties, including on such third parties’ websites. When linking to a third party website, you should read the privacy policy stated on that website. This Privacy Policy only governs Personal Information, non- identifying information and content collected in connection with the Offerings.
6. ADDITIONAL PROTECTIONS FOR CHILDREN
The Offerings are not designed for or targeted to children under the age of 13, and Continental will never knowingly solicit or collect the Personal Information of a child under the age of 13. If we discover that Personal Information of a child under the age of 13 has been submitted without verifiable parental consent, we will immediately delete such Personal Information.
