Welding Solutions Incorporated is concerned about your privacy. We want you to know how we collect, use and protect information about our online guests. We do not sell your information to third parties, and we disclose your personal information only as necessary to provide the products and services you expect from Welding Solutions Incorporated.

What information about guests do we collect?

Information You Give Us

We receive and may store any information you enter on our Web sites or give to our Web sites in any other way. For example, we collect information you provide when you place an order, register with us, send us an e-mail or call us. This information may include: your name, your mailing address, your e-mail address, your phone number, along with any other personal or preference information you provide to us. It may also include information you submit about other people; for example, the name and e-mail address of a colleague.

Automatic Information

We may receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with our Web sites. For example, we may use "cookies" like many other Web sites. Through "cookies" we obtain certain types of information when your Web browser accesses our Web sites. There are utilities designed to help you visit Web sites anonymously. Although we cannot provide you with a personalized experience or certain services at our Web sites if we cannot recognize you, we want you to be aware that these tools exist.

What are "Cookies" and how do we use them?

Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your computer’s hard drive through your Web browser. Cookies allow us to manage your shopping cart during visits to our site, for example.

The "help" portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie or how to disable cookies altogether. However, cookies allow you to take full advantage of some of our Web sites’ best features, so we recommend that you leave them turned on.

Information from Other Sources

We may receive information about you from other sources. This may help improve the personalization of our service to you by providing better product recommendations or special offers that we think will interest you.

Do our Web sites share information they receive?

We do not share information with any vendors, business partners and other organizations, which are not part of the Welding Solutions Incorporated family.

Protection of our Web sites and others

We may disclose information you provide to our Web sites when we believe disclosure is appropriate to comply with the law; to enforce or apply our Conditions of Use and other agreements; or to protect the rights, property or safety of our Web sites, our users or others.

Business Transfers

If some or all of the business assets of our Web sites are sold or transferred, we generally would transfer the corresponding information regarding our guests. We also may retain a copy of that guest information.

What choices do I have?

E-Mails

If you provide one of our Web sites with your e-mail address, you may receive e-mails from that Web site, as well as our other Web sites. If you do not want to receive marketing or promotional e-mails from our Web sites, please notify us at: info@weldingsolutionsinc.com. However, you may not opt out of receiving information from Welding Solutions Incorporated which is essential for maintaining or updating your account.

What about links to and from other Web sites?

Our Web sites may offer links to other sites. Other sites have their own policies regarding privacy. If you visit one of these sites, you may want to review the privacy policy on that site. In addition, you may have linked to one of our Web sites through another site. For example, in certain cases you may have linked to Welding Solutions Incorporated through banner advertising on another site. In such cases the site you linked from may collect information from people who click on the banner or link. You may want to refer to the privacy policies on those sites to see how they collect and use this information.

Children

We recognize the particular importance of protecting privacy where children are involved. We are committed to protecting children's privacy on the Internet and we comply fully with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13. If a child has provided one of our Web sites with personally identifiable information, we ask that a parent or guardian contact us and we will delete the information about the child from our files.

Consent

By using one of our Web sites, you consent to our use of guest information as described in this online privacy policy. We may change or add to this privacy policy so we encourage you to review it periodically.
