Please note that any information you post or disclose through these services will become public and may be available to other users and the general public; or
• When you connect your Services account with your social media account, you will share information with your friends associated with your social media account, with other users, and with your social media account provider.

Several countries require that organizations put in special protections when information is shared cross border. We comply with those obligations and have implemented intercompany mechanisms to meet those requirements. For example, if our processing of your Personal Information is subject to the United Kingdom (“UK”) or the European Economic Area (“EEA”) data protection laws, each recipient of your Personal Information will observe appropriate safeguards with regard to the processing of your Personal Information. Such safeguards will be the consequence of:

• The recipient country having legislation in place which is considered as providing an adequate level of data protection according to UK and EEA standards;
• Other appropriate measures, as available under applicable laws, including standard contractual clauses for transfers adopted by the European Commission or the UK Information Commissioner’s Office. You may obtain a copy of these by contacting us via the Privacy Policy Inquiry Form.

If the applicable law requires your prior consent for the cross-border transfer of your Personal Information, we will ask you for such consent.

6. Browser Opt-Out Preference Signals

In addition to the privacy controls that you can access using our Privacy Policy Inquiry Form, Stanley Black and Decker recognizes Global Privacy Control signals where legally required. Global Privacy Control (“GPC”) is a browser setting that a user can set in order to send a signal to each website visited regarding the user’s privacy preferences, such as not to share or sell user’s Personal Information. If your browser or browser extension has GPC enabled, our websites will automatically recognize that signal and opt you out of the sale of your personal information. For more information about GPC and how to implement GPC opt-out preference signals, please visit Global Privacy Control.

7. Security

We want you to feel confident about using our Services, so we implement security safeguards designed to protect your data. We have implemented appropriate technical, administrative, organizational, and physical measures designed to protect your Personal Information from unauthorized access or theft, as well as accidental loss, tampering or destruction. However, we cannot warrant or guarantee the safety or security of your data.

8. Retention

Your Personal Information is only processed for as long as needed to achieve the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy (considering contextual elements, such as the length of time we have an ongoing relationship with you and provide you our Services), or up until such time where you withdraw your consent for processing them.

In such case, we will delete or de-identify your Personal Information. In certain jurisdictions, we may not delete or de-identify your Personal Information if:

• We have an overriding interest in keeping your Personal Information identifiable (when retention is advisable in light of applicable statutes of limitations, litigation or regulatory investigations), or
• A legal or regulatory obligation or a judicial administrative order prevents us from de-identification or deletion (for example, certain laws require us to keep records of your transactions for a certain period of time before we can delete them).

Please note that if you unsubscribe from our marketing communications, we will keep a record of your email address to ensure we do not send you marketing communications in the future.

9. Notice of Financial Incentive Program

We offer our customers incentive programs that provide certain benefits, such as coupons for signing up for our mailing lists or SMS messaging, rebate programs, and promotional events that may require you to opt into marketing communications. To provide you with this benefit, we process your name, email address, phone number, product ownership history, and address. Because opting into our marketing incentive programs involves the collection and processing of Personal Information, the programs may qualify as “financial incentive” or “Bona Fide Loyalty” programs under the California Privacy Rights Act and the Colorado Privacy act, respectively. Please be aware that the value of your Personal Information to us corresponds to the value of the coupon or benefit that you receive when you consent to receiving marketing communications, minus the expenses associated with offering those coupons or benefits. You may opt out of these incentive programs at any time. To do so please see our Privacy Policy Inquiry Form, contact us at +1 (888) 997-6648, or reply “STOP” to any SMS message.
