BRENNAN INDUSTRIES PRIVACY STATEMENT

[Effective December 2022]

Personal Information Brennan May Collect

Brennan Industries, Inc. and its affiliated entities (collectively, “Brennan”) manufacture, market, distribute, sell and service hydraulic and pneumatic products in several countries. Through Brennan’s global headquarters facility in Solon, Ohio (USA), and our regional headquarters in Mississauga, Ontario (Canada) and Walsall, England (UK), we may collect, retain and process Personal Information (defined below) from:

• Prospective, present and past customers (including distributors and industrial consumers)
• Prospective, present and past employees and independent contractors
• Prospective, present and past suppliers of goods and services

In this Privacy Statement, “Personal Information” means any information provided to or collected by Brennan (a) about an identifiable individual, or an individual whose identity may be inferred or determined from such information (in isolation or collectively with other information possessed by Brennan), or (b) is otherwise designated as Personal Information expressly subject to protection by applicable law. This Privacy Statement applies regardless of how Personal Information is recorded (for example, electronically or on paper). Personal Information does not include, and this Privacy Statement does not apply to, any information (a) expressly excluded from protection by applicable law because it is available in the public domain or otherwise (“Exempted Information”), (b) about companies or other entities (“Entity Information”), or (c) respecting more than one individual where the identity of the individuals is not known and cannot be inferred from such information (“Aggregated Information”). Brennan retains the right to use Exempted Information, Entity Information and Aggregated Information in any way that is not prohibited by applicable law.

Generally, our collection, retention and processing of Personal Information is limited to the extent necessary for the efficient and effective conduct and administration of our business activities in conformity with applicable law. When Personal Information is no longer required for these purposes, Brennan uses secure procedures to destroy, delete, erase or convert such Personal Information into an anonymized form.

Information technology, privacy and security personnel based at our global headquarters in Solon, Ohio (USA) are responsible for the security and processing of Personal Information we obtain, regardless of where such information was originally collected or may be stored. Similarly, our Chief Privacy Officer based at our global headquarters in Solon, Ohio (USA) is responsible to ensure our global compliance with all applicable data privacy laws and regulations, as well as our response to your inquiries regarding your Personal Information and our policies and practices.

Our Privacy Policies

Brennan and its many employees located around the world maintain a corporate culture strongly committed to compliance with law, ethical business practices and respecting the rights of our prospective, present and past customers, employees, contractors and suppliers. Consistent with this culture, this Privacy Statement explains our policies for protecting your Personal Information. Brennan takes the protection of your Personal Information seriously. To the extent Personal Information is subject to this Privacy Statement, Brennan takes commercially reasonable steps to maintain the confidentiality of such information. In all cases, Brennan complies with its obligations under applicable law regarding the collection, use and disclosure of your Personal Information.

Because privacy laws differ among and within the countries in which we operate facilities and conduct our business, we’ve included more detailed information on how we comply with privacy laws in the applicable jurisdictions.

Our Privacy Commitments

• We are accountable for any Personal Information we obtain from you.
• We tell you why we need your Personal Information when we request it.
• We use your Personal Information only for the stated purpose, or as the law otherwise requires or permits.
• We do not sell your Personal Information for monetary consideration.

If we’re required to involve third parties to provide information, products or services to you (for example, manufacturers, consultants or advisors), we may need to share your Personal Information with them in the ordinary course of business. But we will tell you – and ensure they understand and respect your rights. They must also comply with applicable privacy laws – which may be different from the law in your country.

If the law requires, we may also need to share your Personal Information with the government or other regulatory entities.

If you want to know what Personal Information we have about you, please ask us – after we verify your identity, we will tell you unless the law precludes us from doing so. Simply contact us at [email protected].

If you ask us for marketing material or attend an event, we may keep your contact information in a database so that we can contact you in the future.

Consent

Your provision of Personal Information to Brennan means you agree and consent to our collection, use and disclosure of your Personal Information under this Privacy Statement. If you do not agree with these terms, do not provide any Personal Information to us. However, while providing Personal Information is optional, employment with Brennan, as well as certain information, products and services, can only be offered if you provide required Personal Information to us. Accordingly, we may not be able to offer employment, or provide such information, products or services, to you if you choose not provide us with required Personal Information.

You may give your consent for the collection, use and disclosure of your Personal Information in a number of different ways, such as (a) expressly by (i) signing (including a digital signature or acknowledgement) a document, (ii) agreeing through electronic means or (iii) verbally; or (b) implicitly by providing the Personal Information voluntarily.

There may be circumstances where you have provided Personal Information for one purpose, and Brennan later needs to use that Personal Information for another purpose. In such circumstances, Brennan will seek your consent to use the information for the new purpose unless applicable law requires or permits or us to use such Personal Information for that other purpose.

Please note that there are circumstances where the collection, use and/or disclosure of Personal Information may be justified or permitted without consent, or where Brennan may or must disclose Personal Information without consent, in accordance with applicable law.

You have the right to revoke your consent to the collection, use and disclosure of your Personal Information at any time. Simply contact us at [email protected]. However, revocation of your consent may prevent us from providing services or products to you; in such circumstances, we will discuss with you the reason we need your Personal Information and why the revocation of your consent affects our ability to provide our services or products to you.

Storage and Security

Brennan has implemented commercially reasonable means, procedures and processes to maintain physical, procedural and technical security for Personal Information.

Brennan holds Personal Information principally in secure, virtual (or cloud) storage networks or physical storage media (which may be in electronic or printed form) located in cities where Brennan maintains facilities, or at secure, off-site storage facilities. All such Personal Information may be accessed by Brennan personnel who need to know such information for a purpose addressed in this Privacy Statement.

Personal Information you provide to Brennan may be stored outside of the jurisdiction in which you live. In such cases, Personal Information may be subject to the applicable laws of the jurisdiction(s) within which it is collected, used, stored and/or disclosed, and may be accessed by governmental and law enforcement authorities in those jurisdictions.

We endeavor to provide timely access to your Personal Information. However, we may require you to verify your identity to our satisfaction prior to doing so. Further, there may be circumstances where access cannot be granted.

In such cases you will be notified of the reason why it is not possible to grant access to your Personal Information.

Why am I receiving interest-based ads from Brennan?

To provide you with a more relevant online experience, Brennan works with ad networks to customize some of the ads that you see based on your past online activity. You do not receive more online ads than you normally would, but the ads you receive will tend to be more relevant.

We encourage you to carefully read the privacy policy or statement and other legal notices of each website or service that you visit.

Brennan aims to provide you with choices regarding the Personal Information you provide to us. This section describes mechanisms we offer you to control certain uses and disclosures of your Personal Information.

• Your Choice: When you access any Brennan Resources, you may be asked to affirmatively choose (“opt in”) to provide requested Personal Information.

If a digital service that responds to a particular DNT signal receives the DNT signal, the browser can block that digital service from collecting certain Personal Information about the browser’s user. As of the effective date of this Privacy Statement, not all browsers offer a DNT option and DNT signals are not yet uniform. For this reason, Brennan (as well as many other digital service operators) does not currently respond to DNT signals. For more information about DNT signals, visit [hyperlink] www.allaboutdnt.com.

We use Cookies for several reasons. Some Cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our website to operate, and we refer to these as “essential” or “strictly necessary” Cookies. Other Cookies enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our websites. Third parties set Cookies through our website for advertising, analytics and other purposes.

 

We may place Cookies or similar files on your device for security purposes, to tell us whether you have visited our website before, to remember your language preferences, to determine if you are new visitor or to otherwise facilitate site navigation, and to personalize your experience. Cookies allow us to collect technical and navigational information, such as browser type, time spent on our website and pages visited. Cookies also allow us to select which of our advertisements or offers are most likely to appeal to you and display them to you. Cookies may enhance your online experience by saving your preferences while you are visiting websites (including www.brennaninc.com).

 

The specific types of first- and third-party Cookies utilized through our website and the purposes they perform are described below.

 

Cookies are not the only way to recognize or track visitors to a website. We may use other technologies from time to time, like web beacons (sometimes called “tracking pixels” or “clear gifs”). These are tiny graphic files that contain a unique identifier that enable us to recognize when someone has visited our websites or opened an email we have sent them. This allows us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page within our websites to another, to deliver or communicate with Cookies, to understand whether you have come to our website from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to improve site performance, and to measure the success of email marketing campaigns. In many instances, these technologies are reliant on Cookies to function properly, and so declining Cookies will impair their function.

 

Manage Your Cookies

 

You can choose to accept or decline Cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept Cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline Cookies if you prefer. If you would prefer not to accept Cookies, most browsers will allow you to: (i) change your browser settings to notify you when you receive a Cookie, which lets you choose whether or not to accept it; (ii) to disable existing Cookies; or (iii) to set your browser to automatically reject any Cookies. However, please be aware that if you disable or reject Cookies, some features and services may not work properly.
