This Customer Data Privacy Policy describes a broad range of data processing activities. It is built upon current law and information fair handling principles. We will adjust this Privacy Policy to comply with the law of the country in which you reside if that law is more restrictive.

2. GOJO is a Global Company Headquartered in the United States.

GOJO is a global company with its headquarters in Akron, Ohio, U.S.A. Your personal information may be transferred to GOJO locations and to third parties located in the United States and other countries or territories which do not offer the same level of data protection as the country in which you reside. If you reside inside the European Economic Area (“EEA”) and we transfer your PI outside the EEA, we will put in place appropriate safeguards so that the transfer complies with applicable data protection rules. GOJO relies upon the European Union’s approved standard contractual clauses when transferring your PI to a country, such as the United States, whose privacy laws are not adequate in the eyes of the European Commission. A copy of the standard contractual clauses we have in place may be requested at GOJOGDPR@GOJO.COM.

 

3. Applicability of Other GOJO Policies

This Privacy Policy applies only to the personal information of Customers that we collect in ways other than through your use of a GOJO website, and then process, use and transfer. Other policies, such as our Online Privacy Policy, apply to our use of your personal information.

Personal information (“PI”) means any information that (i) directly and clearly identifies an individual, for example, your name, or (ii) can be used in combination with other information to identify an individual, for example, your home address.

 


5. What is Sensitive Personal Information?

Sensitive personal information (“Sensitive Information”) is a subset of PI that is more sensitive in nature than PI. It reveals race, religion, national origin, political opinions, union membership, sexual preferences, sexual orientation, genetic data and biometric data.

 

6. What PI Do We Collect?

  • Voicemails, e-mails, correspondence, documents and other work product and communications created, stored or transmitted using our networks, applications, devices, computers or communications equipment.

If you fail to provide certain information when requested, we may not be able to perform all our legal and contractual obligations or carry out all activities such as providing you with marketing materials. We will make it clear if and when this situation arises and what the consequences of not providing your PI will be.

 

7. Who Gives Your PI to Us?

We collect your PI from you.

 

8. On What Legal Basis Does GOJO Collect and Process Your PI?

There are a number of reasons why GOJO collects and processes your PI. Those reasons include:

  • Processing is needed to perform a contract between you and GOJO. For example, we may ask for bank account information so GOJO can process payments if necessary.
  • Processing is needed for GOJO to comply with a legal obligation. For example, GOJO needs certain PI to enable us to process your purchase order.

  • In order to provide services and benefits related to the customer/potential customer relationship. Those include third parties which operate customer and prospect relationship management systems
  • If GOJO sells a business, your PI may be sent to the buyer of the business. If GOJO buys a business, it may acquire the PI of customers of that business
  • When required by law or by order of a court or other government agency
  • If GOJO determines it is necessary or desirable to comply with the law or to protect or defend our, safety, rights or property or those of a third party
  • Where the PI is public information

When we share your PI with a third party, that third party is providing a service to GOJO to help us manage our relationship with you. We require that they only use or disclose your PI for the purpose for which it is provided, and that they use reasonable safeguards to maintain its accuracy, completeness and integrity and to preclude illegal access. This does not apply when we receive an order or request from a court or other government agency to provide them with your PI or in an emergency.
