Collection of information
Kaydon collects certain aggregate and non-personal information when you visit this website. Aggregate and non-personal information does not relate to a single identifiable visitor. It informs Kaydon of how many visitors have accessed the site and the pages viewed. By collecting this information Kaydon learns how to best tailor its website for its visitors. Kaydon collects this information either through "cookie" technology or "web beacons." All information collected will be maintained on a secure private server maintained by Kaydon's third party website hosting service.

By using this website and the products and services contained therein you acknowledge and agree that personal information collected through this website may be transferred across national boundaries and stored and processed in any of the countries around the world in which Kaydon maintains offices.

Cookies and web beacons
Like many companies Kaydon uses browser cookies on this website. Browser cookies are bits of text in the form of unique identifiers that are placed on your computer's hard drive when you visit certain websites. Kaydon uses browser cookies to tell us, for example, whether you have previously visited a Kaydon website or if you are a new visitor. Cookies also allow Kaydon to identify what site features are of most interest to you. Your browser toolbars will assist you in stopping the acceptance of cookies should you so choose.

Certain pages within Kaydon's website contain "web beacons" which are also referred to as internet tags, pixel tags and clear GIFs. Web beacons allow third parties to obtain information such as the IP address of the computer that downloaded the page on which the beacon appears, the URL of the page on which the beacon appears, the time the page containing the beacon was viewed, the type of browser used to view the page and the information in cookies sent by the third party. Kaydon uses log files to store the data that is collected through web beacons.

Kaydon may share information gleaned from cookies and web beacons with third parties. However, that information will not contain any personally identifiable information and will be anonymous. It does not contain your name, address, telephone number or email address.

Collection of information through the registration process
Within certain locations of this website you will be asked to formally register. Registration is primarily involved when you request to receive certain products or information available though this website. Registration is completely voluntary. Kaydon collects your personal information through registration in order to record, support and facilitate your participation in the activities you select and to prevent fraud and unlawful use. We will not sell, rent or lease your personal information to others. Registration is only required of the user when the user is requesting downloads or other information that is available by Kaydon through its website.

By completing the registration process you represent that you are at least 18 years of age and that you agree to be bound by Kaydon's Terms of Use and product use restrictions.

The types of personal information you provide to Kaydon through the registration process are your name, telephone number, title, email address, city/state/province, zip/postal code and country of residence, and other unique information such as user IDs and passwords. When you register, your information will be instantaneously checked against various denied and restricted parties lists maintained by the U.S. government. The purpose of this check is for Kaydon to maintain its compliance with export restrictions on dual use technologies such as the software available for download on this website following registration.

Upon registration, users have the opportunity to request to be placed on a mailing list to receive direct mail from Kaydon. Placement on the mailing list is entirely voluntary and you may unsubscribe at any time. If you checked the box to be placed on Kaydon's mailing list you will receive direct mail from us highlighting new product announcements, special promotions and other news about Kaydon.

Kaydon reserves the right to transfer any information it has about you in the event we sell or transfer all or a portion of our business or assets.
