We may collect information about you from other companies and organizations, including public databases, social media platforms, our third-party marketing partners, or various independent purchasing organizations.

We may also collect information that is publicly available.  For example, we may collect public information about you when you interact with us through social media.  By collecting additional information about you, we can correct inaccurate information, enhance the security of your transactions, and, if permitted under local law, give you product recommendations and special offers that are more likely to interest you.

Information Collected Automatically

Whenever you visit or interact with Global Axalta Group services, as well as any third-party advertisers and/or service providers, we may use a variety of technologies that automatically or passively collect information about your online activity.  This information may be collected in the following ways:

• Through your browser: Certain information is collected by most browsers, such as your Media Access Control (MAC) address, computer type (Windows or Macintosh), screen resolution, IP address, operating system version and Internet browser type and version. Your “IP Address” is a number that is automatically assigned to the computer that you are using by your Internet Service Provider (ISP).  An IP Address is identified and logged automatically in the Global Axalta Group server log files whenever a user visits the website, along with the time of the visit and the page(s) that were visited. Collecting IP Addresses is standard practice on the Internet and is done automatically by many websites. The Global Axalta Group uses IP Addresses for purposes such as calculating website usage levels, helping diagnose server problems, administering the website, and presenting content that is tailored to your country. We may also use and disclose IP Addresses for all the purposes for which we use and disclose other Personal Information.
• Through Cookies: Cookies allow a web server to transfer data to a computer for recordkeeping and other purposes. We use cookies and other technologies to, among other things, better serve you with more tailored information, to facilitate your ongoing access to and use of the website, and to provide you with personalized marketing. If you do not want your information collected by cookies, there is a procedure in most browsers that allows you to decline the use of cookies. Some features of the website may not work properly if you decline the use of cookies. To learn more about cookies, please visit http://www.allaboutcookies.org/
• Through pixel tags, web beacons, clear GIFs, or other similar technologies: These may be used in connection with some website pages and HTML-formatted email messages to, among other things, track the actions of website users and email recipients, measure the success of the Global Axalta Group marketing campaigns, and compile statistics about website usage and response rates.
• From you: Information, such as your location, as well as other information, such as your preferred means of communication, is collected when you voluntarily provide this information.

Combined Information

For the purposes stated in this Privacy Statement, we may combine Personal Information that we collect about you with Personal Information you provide to the Global Axalta Group through other sources, such as product registrations, inquiries, or marketing events.

If permitted under local law, we may collect, use, and share your Sensitive Personal Information when it is necessary for our relationship with you.  We will use it for the purposes we described above.  You need to carefully consider whether to disclose any of your Sensitive Personal Information, but keep in mind that there may be consequences if you do not.  You agree that your Sensitive Personal Information will be treated in accordance with the purposes and manners described in this Privacy Statement.

Axalta does not knowingly collect data from children.  If you are under 16 (or under 14 in China) (or under 18 in Brazil) please do not provide any information to us.

If permitted under local law, and you wish to refuse consent to our proposed collection, use, or disclosure of your Personal Information, then you must notify us within thirty (30) days (or within the timeframe prescribed by local law) by using the “Contact Us” information in Section 14 below. 

Withdrawal of Consent

If we have asked for you consent to process your Personal Information, under certain local laws, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time.  This includes the right to withdraw your consent for purposes of direct marketing.  If you withdraw your consent pursuant to local laws, this doesn’t affect the lawfulness of the processing before you withdrew consent.  To withdraw consent, you must contact us in writing using the “Contact Us” information in Section 14.  If you withdraw your consent, however, then we may not be able to adequately provide you the assistance, products, or services you requested.

We give customers the option to remain anonymous, where practicable.  However, if you do not provide us with the Personal Information that we need, then we may not be able to adequately provide you the assistance, products, or services you requested.

If you fail to provide certain information when requested or if you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to perform the contract we have entered into with you (such as providing you with products, services, or assistance), or we may not be able to comply with our legal obligations (such as to pay taxes or conduct required reporting).  If we need to process your Personal Information to provide you a service or benefit, or to fulfill our obligations to you, we will tell you that in the event you do not provide or withhold your consent for us to process that Personal Information. 

 

3. LEGAL BASES FOR PROCESSING PERSONAL INFORMATION

All processing and use of your Personal Information is justified by at least one “legal basis” for processing. In most cases, processing will rely on one of the following legal bases:

• Contract performance: The processing is necessary to perform a contract with you or take steps to enter into a contract at your request, such as to fulfil an order, or to provide product information you have requested;
• Legal obligation: The processing is necessary for us to comply with a relevant EEA, UK, South African, Russian, Turkish, or other legal obligation, such as keeping accounting records;
• Legitimate interests: The processing is in our legitimate interests, which are not overridden by your interests and fundamental rights; or
• Consent: You have consented to the processing. This Consent may be according to the legislation obtained as “tacit consent” by accessing to our websites.

Mainly, we use the Personal Information we collect for the below purposes:

• Contract performance:
  • Provide you with documentation or communications which you have requested (pre-contractual steps)
  • Support and manage a recruitment, work placement or internship process, including considering applications and making offers (pre-contractual steps) 
  • Provide after-sales support

Where required by law, Axalta will obtain your consent before processing and/or using your Personal Information.

While the processing of Personal Information can be justified by at least one “legal basis,” the processing of Sensitive Personal Information requires at least two “legal bases” for processing.

5. TARGETED ADVERTISING

When permitted under local law, the Global Axalta Group and third-party service providers use cookies, pixel tags, web beacons, clear GIFs, or similar technologies to track the actions of website users and email recipients across non-affiliate websites over time, in order to personalize your experience on the website by presenting advertisements that are more relevant to you. For example, we use third party service providers, to present products and offers tailored to the preferences and interests demonstrated by your online activity over time. If you would like to opt-out of receiving personalized ads from third party advertisers and ad networks who are members of the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) or who follow the Digital Advertising Alliance’s Self-Regulatory Principles for Online Behavioral Advertising, you may visit the opt-out pages on the NAI website and DAA website. You understand that these opt-out mechanisms are maintained by third parties, not Axalta. Axalta is not responsible for, nor does it control these mechanisms of the third parties who choose to participate in these opt-out programs.

 

COOKIE NOTICE

This cookie notice will give you information about:

·       The different types of cookies

·       The cookies that are required on our websites (Essential Cookies)

·       The cookies that you can reject (Non-Essential Cookies)

·       The cookies we use

·       How to manage your cookie preferences

Axalta Coating Systems, LLC, its affiliates worldwide (collectively “Axalta”, or “we”), and third-party service providers use cookies, pixel tags, web beacons, clear GIFs, or similar technologies to track the actions of website users and email recipients across non-affiliate websites over time, in order to personalize your experience on our websites by presenting advertisements that are more relevant to you. For example, we use third party service providers, to present products and offers tailored to the preferences and interests demonstrated by your online activity over time.

Cookies

"Cookies" are small files which enable us to store individual information related to your computer or other device used to access our website. Cookies help us, e.g., to determine the frequency of use and the number of people visiting our website and to create our services as comfortable and efficient as possible for you.

Classes of Cookies.  There are two types of cookies: session cookies, and persistent cookies.

●      Session cookies make it easier for you to navigate the websites and expire and disappear from your device when you close your browser.

●      Persistent cookies remain longer and help in understanding how you use the websites, and enhance your user experience, and they stay on your device even after you close your device’s browser or end your session. Persistent cookies may remain on your hard drive for an extended period of time.

Sources of Cookies.  Cookies also come from different sources – Axalta (these would be “first party cookies” because Axalta places the cookies itself), and other third parties (these are “third party cookies” because they are not placed by Axalta).

●      First party cookies are set by the website you are visiting, and they can only be read by that site. 

●      Third party cookies are not set by the owner of the website you are visiting, but by a different organization. For example, advertisers and other third parties may use their own cookies when you click on an advertisement or link on our website, or we might engage a third-party analytics company that will set their own cookie to perform this service.

Third Party Cookies and Website Analytics.  We use third party services including Google analytics to analyze website activity. When you visit the websites, Google Analytics automatically collects information from you through the use of Google’s analytics IDs, and Google provides some of this information to us. An analytics ID is a specific string of numbers and letters (often called a “character string”) that is assigned to your computer or device but does not name you. The analytics ID allows Google to track usage data of the websites, such as date and time of visit, duration of visit, website traffic patterns, “clickstreams,” other similar ‎information about your use of the websites, ‎the type of web browser used, the operating ‎system/platform you are using, your IP address, the ‎websites that referred or linked you to our ‎website, and your CPU speed.‎ Google Analytics does not share the analytics ID assigned to your computer or device that you use to access and use the websites. Google Analytics provides information about the use of our websites to us in aggregate form (i.e., data about many website users combined and not just about you). Some of this data might include the regional location of website users, but again, this data will be in aggregate (and not individual) form. We rely on this aggregate data to inform us how users are using the ‎websites and to help us improve the websites.

Social Media Widget Cookies.  Some pages of our websites include social media features, such as the Facebook “Like” button, and widgets, such as the “Share This” button or interactive mini-programs that run on our websites. These ‎features may collect your IP address, which page you are visiting on the websites, ‎and may set a cookie to enable the feature to function properly. Social media features and ‎widgets are either hosted by a third-party or hosted directly on the websites. See the Social Media section under the heading How We Share Personal Information, below, for more details about your interactions with these features on our websites.

 

Types of Cookies.  The different types of cookies can be categorized as follows:

Essential Cookies: There are certain cookies that we have to include in order for certain web pages to function.  For this reason, they do not require your consent.  In particular:

●      Necessary cookies are cookies that are required for the operation of our website, such as to ensure security. Other necessary cookies allow us to provide features or services that you expressly request. These cookies do not require your consent and cannot be switched off (although in some cases you can change your requests). You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of our website may not work if you block these types of cookies.

●      Functional cookies are used to provide certain functionalities to you by recording your choices and settings regarding our services, maintaining your preferences over time and recognizing you when you return to our website so that we can offer you a better experience on this website. We will only store and access functional cookies on your device if you consent to such storage and access. If you do not consent to these types of cookies, we will not be able to provide certain functionalities to you.

 

Non-Essential Cookies: We use these cookies only for internal research on how we can improve our website for our users.  These cookies simply assess how you interact with our website as an anonymous user (meaning the data gathered does not identify you personally).

Also, this data is not shared with any third parties or used for any other purpose.  The anonymized statistics may be shared with contractors working on communication projects under a contract with Axalta.  However, you are free to refuse these types of cookies, either via the cookie banner you see when you first visit the site or by visiting the cookie preference page.

●      Performance cookies are used to improve the performance of our website and to enhance your experience. Google Analytics automatically collects certain usage and performance data from our website users. The information these cookies collect is aggregated and anonymous information, and we are never provided with your personal information from these cookies.

●      Analytics cookies allow us to analyze website usage and understand how visitors use it. These cookies recognize and collect information about the number of visitors, the pages they view, how long they view pages and how they move around our website when they are using it. This helps us to improve the way our website works, for example, by ensuring that visitors are easily finding what they are looking for. We will only store and access analytics cookies on your device if you consent to such storage and access. If you do not consent to these types of cookies, we will not be able to improve our website based on information from your visit.

●      Targeting and advertising cookies track browsing habits and are used to deliver targeted (interest-based) advertising. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an ad and to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. They are usually placed by advertising networks with the websites operator’s permission. They remember that you have visited a website and this information is shared with other organizations, such as advertisers.

6. INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS

Axalta primarily stores the Personal Information we collect in the United States.  To facilitate Axalta’s global operations, we and/or our service providers may transfer and access your Personal Information from locations around the world.  This may involve transferring your Personal Information outside the country where you live.  For example, we may use a server hosted overseas to store data, which may include your Personal Information.  Your Personal Information may also be processed by employees or by other third parties who work for us, or by the representatives and employees of our parent, affiliate, or other subsidiary companies.  If we transfer your Personal Information to third parties in other countries, then we will only do so if the third party offers an adequate level of protection under the law and only as necessary for the performance of our obligations or where you have provided explicit consent.

We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your Personal Information is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Statement.  We only share Personal Information with third-parties who adequately implement appropriate technical and organizational measures and who guarantee the protection of your rights as required under the laws that apply to you.  We’ve described the different categories of third parties we may share your Personal Information within section 4 of this Privacy Statement titled “How We Share Your Personal Information,” and we may also have a legal obligation to share your Personal Information with government agencies.

For example, if you live in the EEA, Australia, Brazil, or China, if we transfer your Personal Information out of your respective area, we will ensure one of the following safeguards is implemented:

• We will only transfer your Personal Information to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for Personal Information (for example, in the EEA, this is decided by the European Commission); or
• We may use specific contracts approved by the law which give Personal Information the same protection it has in your country; or
• We will ensure there is some other protection in place which has been approved by the law as giving Personal Information the same protection it has in your country.

We may transfer your Personal Information to the following countries: Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Colombia, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, the European Economic Area, Guatemala, Honduras, India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, Morocco, Nicaragua, Panama, Philippines, Russia, Singapore, South Africa, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, United States, or Vietnam.

For more information about transferring your Personal Information from China to another country, please refer to the NOTICE FOR CHINA RESIDENTS section below.

Do Not Track Signals

Your browser settings may allow you to automatically transmit a “Do Not Track” signal to online services you visit.

11. YOUR RIGHTS AND CHOICES

Under certain circumstances, you have rights under applicable data protection laws in relation to your Personal Information.  You have the right to:

Know What Personal Information We Have.  You may have the right to know what Personal Information is being collected about you, whether it is disclosed, and to whom.  If you have questions, you also have the right to ask that we explain Personal Information handling rules and policies to you. 

Access Your Personal Information.  You can request access to your Personal Information.  This enables you to receive a copy of the Personal Information we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.  You may reasonably access your Personal Information by contacting the Global Axalta Group Privacy Office. Please note that we may request specific information from you to enable us to confirm your identity and right to access, as well as to search for and provide you with the Personal Information we have about you.

Your right to access the Personal Information that we hold about you is not absolute.  There are instances where applicable law or regulatory requirements allow or require us to refuse to provide some or all the Personal Information we hold about you.  In addition, the Personal Information may have been destroyed, erased, or made anonymous.  If we cannot provide you with access to your Personal Information, we will inform you of the reasons why, subject to any legal or regulatory restrictions.

Modify or Update Your Personal Information.  We aim to ensure that Personal Information in our possession is accurate, current, and complete.  If you believe that the Personal Information about you is incorrect, incomplete, or outdated, you may request the revision or correction of that information.  We will use reasonable efforts to revise it and, if necessary, to use reasonable efforts to inform agents, service providers or other third parties, which were provided with inaccurate information, so records in their possession may also be corrected or updated.  However, we reserve the right not to change any Personal Information we consider accurate or if it is necessary for our records.

Erasure of Your Personal Information.  You may ask us to delete or remove Personal Information where there is no legal reason for us to continue using it.  You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your Personal Information where you successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your Personal Information to comply with law.  Please note that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which we will notify you, if applicable, at the time of your request.

Object to Processing Your Personal Information. You may have the right to object to us processing your information in certain circumstances.  This right applies when we are processing your Personal Information based on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party), which you may challenge if you feel it impacts your fundamental rights and freedoms.  You also have the right to object where we are processing your Personal Information for direct marketing purposes.  However, in some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate ground to process your information or legal obligations which override your rights and freedoms.

Data Portability.  You may request that we transfer your Personal Information to you or a third party.  We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your information in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.  Please note this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.

Opt Out of Sale/Marketing: Axalta gives you many choices regarding Axalta’s use and disclosure of your Personal Information for marketing purposes. By contacting Axalta, you may opt-out from receiving future electronic marketing messages from Axalta and request that we not share your Personal information with unaffiliated third parties for their marketing purposes.

Please also note that if you do opt-out of receiving marketing-related messages from the Global Axalta Group, we may still send you important administrative messages, and you cannot opt-out from receiving administrative messages.

If you would like to review, correct, update, suppress, delete or otherwise limit Axalta’s use of your Personal Information that has been previously provided to Axalta, then you may contact us using the methods in the “Contact Us” Section  14 below.

Non-Discrimination, Incentives: Businesses may not discriminate against people who exercise their privacy rights. Discrimination may exist where a business denies or provides a different level or quality of goods or services, or charges (or suggests that it will charge) different prices or rates or impose penalties on residents who exercise their privacy rights, unless doing so is reasonably related to the value provided to the business by the person’s data.

Restrict Processing: Your country’s laws may allow you to ask that we restrict processing of your Personal Information if: (a)  you want us to establish the data’s accuracy; (b) where our use of the data is unlawful, but you do not want us to erase it; (c) where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or (d) you have objected to our use of your data, but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.

Restrict Processing of Sensitive Information: You may have the right to ask us to limit our processing of your Sensitive Personal Information to what is necessary to our relationship with you.  While Axalta’s practices are to restrict processing of your Sensitive Personal Information to what is strictly necessary at all times, you are welcome to make a request using the methods in the “Contact Us” Section 14 below. 

Right to Make a Complaint: You have a right to contact us about our Personal Information practices, and you can do so using one of the methods in the “Contact Us” Section 14 below.  We will evaluate your communication and will contact you if we need further information to resolve it.  In addition, you may have the option of communicating to a government authority if you believe we have not processed your Personal Information in compliance with the laws and principles that apply in your home country.  If you would like to make a complaint to an authority, you may contact your country’s supervisory authority, including, but not limited to, the following: Canada: Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada, or your province or territory’s privacy commissioner; Australia: the Australian Privacy Commissioner; Brazil: National Data Protection Authority; European Economic Area: your country’s supervisory authority; China: Cyberspace Administration of China. 

Rights In Different Countries:  Depending on where you live, you may have the following additional rights:

• Transfer: In Brazil, China, or the European Economic Area, you may ask us to transfer your Personal Information to you or to a third party in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.  Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.
• Intervention in Automated Decision Making: In Brazil, China, or the European Economic Area, you can request to have a human review an automated decision made by automated means that affects your interests, including decisions intended to define your personal, professional, consumer and credit profile, or aspects of your personality.  You may also have the right to ask us to explain the automated decision making process. 
• Anonymize: If you live in Brazil and believe we are processing unnecessary or excessive Personal Information about you under the law, you may ask us to anonymize, block, or delete it. 
• Opt-Out of Collection: For customers in India and China, you may opt out of the collection of your Personal Information by contacting us using the contact information below.  If you choose to opt out of collection, however, we may not be able to adequately provide you the assistance or services you requested or continue providing you with products, services, or assistance. 

How to Make a Request:  If you would like to make a request, then please contact us using the information in the “Contact Us” Section 14 of this Privacy Statement.  Please include your name, address, email, phone number, and the specific type of request you would like to make (a request to know, erase, opt out of sale, etc.).  If you would like an authorized agent or lawyer to make a request on your behalf, then we will ask you for written confirmation that you have appointed the agent or lawyer, as described in the “Verify Your Identity” section below, and will verify the agent’s or lawyer’s identity separately.

Responding to Requests: Your request will be evaluated to determine whether it meets legal regulatory requirements and does not risk making our other data less secure or changing our other data.  If we aren’t able to honor any part of your request, we will tell you that in our response, as well as the reason(s) we cannot do so.

Verifying Your Identity: To protect you and your information, we may ask you to confirm certain information before we honor your request.  For example, if you make a request, we will ask you to confirm your name, email address, and phone number.  For certain requests, we will use a combination of your name, email address, phone number, zip code, address, and/or birth date to verify your identity, so that we can help protect your information.  If you designate an authorized agent or lawyer to make a request on your behalf, we may require you to verify your identity and provide the authorized agent’s or lawyer’s identity and contact information to us.

 

12. HOW LONG WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION

To the extent permitted by applicable law, we retain your Personal Information as long as (1) it is needed for the purposes for which we obtained it and in accordance with this Privacy Statement or (2) we have another lawful basis for retaining that information beyond the period for which it is necessary to serve the original purpose.  If permitted under local law and if the lawful basis for processing that data is based solely on consent, then we will delete the Personal Information if that consent is revoked.

 

13. OUR SECURITY

We recognize the importance of maintaining the security of your Personal Information.  We protect your information using security measures, including physical, administrative, and technical safeguards to reduce the risk of loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, or modification of your information.

While we have employed security technologies and procedures to assist safeguarding your Personal Information, no system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.  Please note that we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us.  Your use of Axalta services and providing us with your information is at your own risk.
