Andersen Windows, Inc. and its parent and subsidiaries (collectively “Andersen” or “we”) respect your privacy. As you use our websites, blogs, social media sites, mobile apps, and electronic communications, your Personal Information may be collected.

Scope of Policy

Andersen Sites:
This Privacy Policy applies to Personal Information we collect on “AndersenWindows.com” and any other official Andersen websites and applications, including, but not limited to, the Andersen mobile site, Renewal by Andersen websites and applications, official sweepstakes entry forms, forms linked to this Privacy Policy, mobile applications, and other related applications linked to Andersen products and services (collectively, the “Sites”). This Privacy Policy is incorporated into Andersen’s “Site Terms and Conditions of Use.”

Personal Information:
“Personal Information” means any information that may be used to identify an individual (or household), including, but not limited to, identifiers (e.g., names, phone numbers, physical mailing addresses, email addresses, social security numbers), familial information (e.g., spouse/partner name, names of children/dependents, birthdates of family members), characteristics of protected classifications (e.g., race, ethnicity), biometric information (e.g., fingerprints, signature), electronic network activity information (e.g., browsing or search history, information regarding your interaction with the Sites, whether submitted or not), payment information (e.g., credit information, credit card information), location (e.g., GPS, IP address), employment-related information, education information, or other non-public information unique to you. Personal Information also means information that can be used to identify you when put together with other data, such as your browser type, the URL of the previous website(s) you visited, your Internet service provider, the operating system of the devices you use, and your Internet protocol (“IP”) address.

Third-Party Sites:
When you provide Personal Information to us on a third-party site, the information you provide may be separately collected by that third party. Only Personal Information collected directly by Andersen, or on Andersen’s behalf, is covered by this Privacy Policy. The information collected by third-party sites are subject to the privacy practices of those third parties. Privacy choices you make with third parties will not apply to our use of your Personal Information collected through our Sites. Also be aware that our Sites contain links to other sites not owned or controlled by Andersen, and we are not responsible for the privacy practices of those other sites. Andersen may use third-party services on the Sites to provide you with a better online experience or for other reasons. Third parties, including Facebook and other social media providers, may use cookies, web beacons, and other storage technologies to collect or receive information from the Sites and elsewhere on the Internet and use that information to provide measurement services and target ads. If you want to opt-out of the collection and use of information by third parties, you can obtain information about exercising such choice at https://www.aboutads.info/choices and https://www.youronlinechoices.eu.

In addition, certain portions of the Sites may request the entry of your contact information, including, but not limited to, the telephone number for your residence or cellular device. By providing such information, you agree and authorize Andersen to contact you for the purposes stated below, including, but not limited to, SMS messages (including text messages), calls using a prerecorded message or artificial voice, and calls/messages delivered using an auto telephone dialing system or automatic texting system.

You agree this consent applies to the specific number(s) you have provided to us now or in the future, or numbers we can reasonably associate with your account (through skip trace, caller ID capture or other means which may be described in this Privacy Policy). You certify, warrant, and represent that the telephone number(s) you have provided to us or will provide to us in the future are your contact numbers and that you will promptly alert us when a particular telephone number is no longer associated with you. Further, you understand that your cellular or mobile telephone provider will charge you according to the type of plan you carry. Any consent you give to Andersen may be revoked by you at any time as to each method of communication.

With most browsers, you can refuse cookies by turning them off or requesting a warning prior to accepting cookies at the request of a website. You can go to your browser settings at any time to change your cookie preferences or delete the cookies deployed by the Andersen Sites during a previous visit.

Security

Andersen follows generally accepted industry standards to protect the Personal Information deemed to be under its control. Wherever your Personal Information may be held within Andersen or on its behalf, Andersen takes reasonable and appropriate steps to protect your Personal Information from unauthorized access, use or disclosure.
Access to and use of secure areas of our Sites is restricted to authorized users only with a business need to know the Personal Information accessible there. Unauthorized individuals attempting to access these areas of the Sites may be subject to adverse employment actions, criminal prosecution, or civil damages.
Andersen may from time to time use third parties to provide content or deliver services, such as, but not limited to e-commerce technology. Andersen follows generally accepted industry standards in selecting these third parties but does not have ultimate control over the security measures used by those third parties.
Moreover, no method of transmission over the Internet or storage of information is guaranteed secure. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
