We do collect your personal information as this allows us to contact you to provide a service or carry out a transaction that you have requested such as receiving information about GLUE DOTS™ Adhesive Products and our services, entering a contest, ordering e-mail newsletters, when purchasing GLUE DOTS™  Adhesive Products. The personal information we collect may include your name, title, company or organisation name, work e-mail, work phone, work or home address, information about your job function, information about your company, and credit card information. The Site may collect certain information about your visit, such as the name of the Internet service provider and the Internet Protocol (IP) address through which you access the Internet; the date and time you access the Site; the pages that you access while at the Site and the Internet address of the Web site from which you linked directly to our site. This information is used to help improve the site, analyse trends and administer the site. Some of our sites collect information about your hardware and software in order to provide a requested service.

The personal information collected on this Site will be used to operate the Site and to provide the service(s) or carry out the transaction(s) you have requested or authorised. In support of these uses, Glue Dots International or Ellsworth may use personal information to provide you with more effective customer service, to improve the Site and any related GLUE DOTS™  Adhesive Products, or by customising the Site to your particular preference or interests. We may use your personal information to provide you with important information about the products, including product updates and industry related information. Additionally, with your permission, we may send you information about other Glue Dots and Ellsworth products and services, and/or share information with Glue Dots partners so they may send you information about their products and services. We merge site-visitation data with anonymous demographic information for research purposes, and we may use this information in aggregate to provide more relevant content. In some limited-entry sections of gluedots.com, with your approval, we will combine site-visitation data with your personal information in order to provide you with personalised content. If you decline permission, we will not provide you the personalised service and won't merge your personal information with site-visitation data. When you sign up for a newsletter or agree to receive promotional e-mail, gluedotseurope.com may use customised links or similar technologies to track e-mail links that you click. We may associate that information with your personal information in order to provide you more focused e-mail communications or purchase information. Each e-mail communication includes an unsubscribe link allowing you to stop delivery of that type of communication. Glue Dots International occasionally hires other companies to provide limited services on our behalf, such as Web site hosting, database development, answering customer questions about products, and sending information about our products, special offers, and other services. We will only provide those companies the personal information they need to deliver the service. They are required to maintain the confidentiality of the information and are prohibited from using that information for any other purpose. Glue Dots International may disclose personal information if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to (a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on Glue Dots International or the Site; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of Glue Dots International; or (c) act in urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety of Glue Dots International employees or agents, users of GLUE DOTS™  Adhesive Products or services, or members of the public.
