PRIVACY POLICY

Our privacy policy discloses how we gather, use and protect your data. Last updated on 05.06.16

CSW’s commitment to privacy

This website is administered by CSW, Inc. (“CSW” or “we”). CSW wants you to feel secure when visiting our website or using our services, and is committed to maintaining your privacy. This Privacy Policy applies to data collected by CSW through its website www.cswgraphics.com or by other means during the course of its business.

 

Why CSW collects personal information

During the course of carrying out our business and performing our services, CSW collects personal information in order to conduct our business, to provide and market our services, and to meet our legal obligations. We may also collect data for other purposes, which we would describe in more detail to you at the point we collect the information.

You may refuse to provide us with some or all of your personal information; however, this may limit the ways in which we can interact with you, including providing you with our services.

 

The kinds of information we collect

We usually collect the following kinds of personal information:

  • Name and contact information;
  • Interests in our services or events;
  • Information about people’s dealings with us or our clients; and
  • Your opinion or comments on certain matters

 

How information is collected

CSW gathers information in two ways:

  • Indirectly (through our site’s technology or through other third parties who collect information on our behalf or have the right to share your information with us); and
  • Directly (when you provide information to us by way of paper or online forms or questionnaires filled out by you, face-to-face meetings, interviews, business cards or telephone conversations).

One example of information we collect indirectly is information collected through our Internet access logs. When you access our website, your Internet address is automatically collected and is placed in our Internet access logs. We may also record the URLs of the websites and pages you visit (before, during and after your visit to any CSW website), the times and dates of such visits, information about the computer hardware and software you use and other information that may be available.

Additionally, we may collect information from you through the use of cookies. Cookies and their use on our website are explained in greater detail in the Tracking Technologies section in this policy.

We also collect information directly when you voluntarily provide it to us. For example, we may provide the opportunity to sign up for a periodic email newsletter by entering your email address. It is completely up to you whether or not you want to provide it. Additionally, we may collect personal information when you apply online for a job opening at CSW, or submit a query through an online contact form.

 

How does CSW use this information?

We hold, use and may disclose your personal information for the purposes as set out in this Privacy Policy or as otherwise disclosed at the time of collection. We generally use and disclose your personal information for the following purposes:

  • to provide our services to you or our clients
  • to manage our relationships with you or our clients
  • to improve CSW or its client’s services
  • to provide professional advice to our clients relating to their packaging development and production needs
  • to review and assess your job applications
  • to answer your inquiry
  • to direct-market products and services, advise you of news and industry updates, trends and events
  • to share with trusted third parties (e.g., our contracted service providers or advisers) whom we have engaged to provide services to you or help us meet our contractual or legal obligations.

 

Sending information overseas and sharing information with other parties

Information that we collect may be stored and processed in and transferred between any of the countries in which CSW, its respective partners, affiliates or contractors, have offices in order to enable CSW to use the information as set out in this Privacy Policy. If you are in the European Union, Canada or Australia, information which you provide may be transferred to countries (including the United States) which do not have data protection laws equivalent to those in force in the European Union, Canada or Australia. By submitting your information to CSW website or any of our products or services, you expressly agree to such transfer in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

We will respect and protect your privacy as set out in this Privacy Policy. We will share your personal information with third parties only in the ways that are described in this privacy policy. And won’t sell individual information. You agree CSW may share your personal information with non-CSW parties with your consent (express, constructive or implied), or as required by law such as to comply with subpoena, bankruptcy proceedings, or similar legal process when we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect CSW, its customers, the public, investigate fraud, or respond to a government request. You agree that CSW may share your personal information with organizations or persons that help us fulfill our obligations or provide our services to you. CSW will make efforts to ensure these parties have appropriate measures in place to protect your information and meet our obligations under the applicable privacy rules.

We reserve the right to disclose any information that we obtain through any CSW website to appropriate governmental or regulatory authorities, if required by law or any governmental agency.

If CSW is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of its assets, we may need to share your personal information with the acquiring entity. In that event you will be notified via a notice on our website of any change in ownership or uses of your personal information as well as any choices you may have regarding your personal information.

 

How does CSW protect sensitive personal information?

Other than the information you provide when you apply for an employment position at CSW, we do not generally seek to collect sensitive personal information through this site; therefore, we advise you not to provide any unsolicited sensitive personal information. By providing us with unsolicited sensitive personal information, you consent to our use of the information for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy, subject to applicable law. CSW usually applies HTTPS or other technical measure to secure the personal information transmitted over its website. “Sensitive personal information” includes the various categories of personal information and data identified by privacy laws of United States, European and other jurisdictions as requiring special treatment, including in some circumstances the need to obtain explicit consent. These categories may include personal identity numbers, personal data about personality and private life, racial or ethnic origin, nationality, political opinions, membership of political parties or movements, religious, philosophical or other similar beliefs, membership of a trade union or profession or trade association, physical or mental health, genetic code, addictions, sexual life, property matters or criminal record (including information about suspected criminal activities).

 

Access, update and deletion of personal information

You are entitled to know whether we hold information about you and, if we do, the type of information, the purposes for which we hold it, the possible recipients or types of recipients, and to have access to that information and require it to be corrected if it is inaccurate. You can do this by sending us an e-mail at info@cswgraphics.com. Upon written request and within a reasonable time frame we will correct, delete and/or block personal information from further processing. We will retain your information as needed to provide you services and will retain and use your information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes and/or enforce our agreements.

 

What is CSW practice regarding data security?

We take appropriate steps to maintain the security and integrity of your information/data, including the use of encryption, password, physical security (e.g., lock and access control) and other security measures. As for information provided or collected online, you should understand that the open nature of the Internet is such that information/data may flow over networks without security measures and may be accessed and used by people other than those for whom the information/data is intended. We recommend that you always log out after each session and close the browser when done, especially when accessing the service from public terminals.
