PRIVACY POLICY
The Company is committed to protecting the personally identifiable information of our Website visitors. The provisions in this “Privacy Policy” section of these Terms and Conditions (the “Privacy Policy”) are intended to notify you of our online privacy practices relating to personally identifiable information we may collect from our Website visitors. If we decide to change our Privacy Policy, we will post those changes on this page so that you are always aware of what personally identifiable information we collect, how we use it and under what circumstances we disclose it.

This Privacy Policy applies only to this Website and not to other websites to which we may link. The Company may post such links as a way of helping you locate related information and services easily. Please be aware that we are not responsible for the privacy practices of such other websites. These thirdparty websites may send their own cookies to you, log your IP address and otherwise collect data or solicit personal information. We encourage you to read the privacy policies and terms and conditions of each and every website you use as other websites may not treat information collected online in the same manner as the Company.

By submitting personally identifiable information to us, you consent to our collection and use of the information as set out in this Privacy Policy. Personally identifiable information collected via the Website may be stored and processed in the United States or abroad.

What information does the Company collect?
As used in this Privacy Policy, the term “personally identifiable information” includes any information that may be used to specifically identify or contact a natural person, such as a name, personal email address, mailing address and phone number. You do not need to provide any personally identifiable information to visit public sections of this Website. We collect personally identifiable information only if you voluntarily provide it to us when using this Website.

In this Privacy Policy, the term “non-personal information” refers to any information that does not personally identify you. Non-personal information can include certain personally identifiable information that has been de-identified; that is, information that has been rendered anonymous. We obtain nonpersonal information about you from information that you provide us, either separately or together with your personally identifiable information. Additionally, our web servers may automatically collect and store certain non-personal information automatically when you use the Website, which we use to help us improve the experience for visitors to the Website. For example, our web servers automatically recognize each visitor’s IP address, browser information and reference site domain, as well as related information such as the date on which you visit the Website. This information is not personally identifiable and is only used in the aggregate.

Does the Company use cookies?
Cookies and other similar locally stored data are text files that a website and third-party advertisements on such website may transfer to a visitor’s hard drive to identify specific information about the visitor’s visits to the website and other content, and that can also be used to store your preferences. The use of cookies and similar locally stored files allows the Company to update the Website and make it more useful to our customers and Website visitors. We may use cookies and similar locally stored files to do the following: track the number of visitors to the Website, determine whether visitors have visited the Website before, determine patterns or trends of visitors’ Website usage, personalize a user’s experience on the Website, provide specialized content and support to users of the Website, compile data regarding use of the Website, recall visitor preferences or simplify the completion of online forms. Changing the settings in your web browser and other browser plug-ins can generally prevent cookies and similar locally stored files from being used; however, please be aware that by doing so, you may be unable to fully utilize the Website.

How does the Company use the information it collects?
The personally identifiable information we collect is used by us for internal purposes such as providing support and responding to inquiries from customers and Website visitors. We may also use personally identifiable information to contact you for a variety of reasons, such as customer service and providing you information regarding our products or those of our successors, parents, subsidiaries, affiliates and related companies.

You may “opt-out” of receiving further information about the Company (other than support or other information that you specifically request by filling out the online forms) by checking the appropriate boxes on the online forms. If, at any time, you prefer not to receive any other form of communication from Company, you will have the ability to unsubscribe from such communications by contacting us at: Materion-Info@Materion.com.

The Company does not sell your personally identifiable information to other companies for their independent marketing purposes. We will share your personal information where required by law or if pertinent to a judicial or governmental investigation, or in connection with a business combination, sale or other business reorganization. We will also share your personal information under confidentiality restrictions with third-party organizations or persons who provide services to the Company (such as in connection with outsourced services, or when such third parties assist us in collecting, assembling or processing this information).

Information submitted or provided to the Company by a Website user or any person or entity regarding the Company or its products, including but not limited to ideas for new products or modifications to existing products, will be deemed to be non-confidential and the Company will be free to reproduce, use, disclose and distribute such information to others in any manner, without limitation or attribution. We may use your non-personal information by itself or aggregate it with information we have obtained from others. We may share non-personal information with our affiliated companies and third parties to achieve these objectives and others. We may use electronic records to compile statistics about how visitors to our Website collectively interact with our Website. These statistics contain no personally identifiable information and are only used by Company staff.

What procedures do we use to protect your personally identifiable information?
The Company has implemented physical and electronic security measures to protect against unauthorized access to your personally identifiable information under our control and to protect you against the criminal misuse of that information. We also utilize additional security devices, such as firewalls, security patches and anti-virus programs to protect nonpublic personally identifiable information. Please be advised, however, that we disclaim liability for personally identifiable information submitted through the Website. Users are hereby advised that they submit such personally identifiable information at their own risk.

How do I access or modify my personally identifiable information?
You may request in writing to the address listed under “Contact Information” in these Terms and Conditions that we amend any personally identifiable information that we hold about you. We will respond to your request and, if applicable and appropriate, make the requested change in our active databases as soon as reasonably practicable.
