By using or accessing our website, any of our mobile applications, placing an order for our products, entering our competitions or otherwise providing us with your personal information, you signify your acknowledgment and consent to your personal information being handled as set forth in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to this policy, we may not be able to provide you with our products and/or services.

Please check this Privacy Policy periodically for changes.
Collection of Personal Information
We may request your personal information when you register to receive additional information regarding our products and services, in order to manage your requests, when you download software, sign up for a newsletter or send us a question. The personal information we collect and hold generally includes your name, address, contact details (such as your phone number, fax number and email address), product preferences, purchase details and payment details, as applicable.
We generally only collect your personal information if you choose to provide such information directly to us, for example in person, over the telephone, by email, via one our websites, our mobile applications (such as if you submit an inquiry or set up an account with us) or by completing our online or hard copy forms. Whenever possible, we will collect personal information directly from you. However, we may collect information from third parties such as from Facebook pages of ours, or of third parties if you choose to enter our contests or sign up for offers posted on such pages, or from such pages of our related entities to allow us to improve our products and services.
We take reasonable steps to ensure that the personal information that we collect and hold is accurate, complete and up-to-date. However, we rely on you to advise us of any changes to your personal information to help us maintain accurate, complete and up-to-date information. We will, on request, provide you with access to the personal information we hold about you unless otherwise required or permitted by law. We will notify you of the basis for any denial of access to your personal information. In case you change your mind or wish to update or delete personal information (such as your ZIP code), we will endeavor to correct, update or remove the personal data you give us. You can do this by contacting us at the contact points specified below.
During your communications with us, you must not provide us with personal information (including any sensitive information) of any other individual unless you have the express consent of that individual to do so. If you do provide us with such information about another individual, you must tell that individual that you will be providing their information to us, and that we will handle their information in accordance with this privacy policy:
Orders
When you place an order for a product or service online, we need to know your name, e-mail address, mailing address, credit card number, expiration date and the credit card’s security or access code. This personal information is required so that we can process and fulfill your order, send an order or shipping confirmation, as well as notify you of your order status. All Internet transactions with us are performed on a secure server that encrypts your credit card information to ensure it is not read by unauthorized third parties.
Use of Personal Information
We may use personal information provided by you for the purpose for which it was provided to us, other related purposes or as permitted or required by law. Such purposes may include:
Except as described in this policy, Newell Brands does not rent, sell or otherwise distribute to third parties, your personal information entered on this site without your consent, unless required by law or as disclosed to you when the information is collected. If you do provide us with consent to share your information with other third party companies, we may share your information with third party companies including affiliates of the company to whom the information is provided, who offer products and services that may be of interest to you. These companies may then contact you directly with product or sample offers, personalized offers and information, or to ask for your feedback on products and programs that they think may be of interest to you. While we use all reasonable efforts to safeguard the confidentiality of your information, Newell Brands is not liable for disclosure of any information obtained due to errors in transmission or the unauthorized acts of third parties.
We may share your personal information with our third party service providers on a need-to-know basis. We engage third party service providers to perform certain services on our behalf. In order to perform those services, the service providers may need to know your personal information. We require that they protect this information and only use it to perform services on our behalf. For example, we may use outside shipping companies, credit card processing companies, resellers, distributors, IT, infrastructure and operations service providers, and content providers.
We may share statistical or aggregated non-personal information about our users with advertisers, business partners, sponsors and other third parties. This data is used to customize Newell Brands website content and advertising to deliver a better experience to our users.
We reserve the right to disclose your personal information to third parties in certain situations, including where we have reason to believe that disclosure is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be causing injury to or interference with (either intentionally or unintentionally) our rights or property, other Newell Brands website or application users or anyone else that could be harmed by such activities. We may disclose personal information without notice to you in response to a subpoena or where we believe in good faith that the law requires it or to respond to an emergency situation. We also may disclose personal information as part of a merger or acquisition involving Newell Brands.
Security of Personal Information
We hold your personal information in hardcopy and electronic formats and take reasonable steps (including any measure required by law) to protect your personal information from loss, misuse, interference and unauthorized access, alteration or disclosure. However, data protection and security measures are never completely secure and, despite the measure we have put in place, we cannot guarantee the security of your information. You must take care to ensure you protect your personal information (for example, by protecting any usernames and passwords, etc.) and you should notify us at the contact information below as soon as possible after you become aware of any security breaches.

If for any reason you wish to not take advantage of cookies or other tracking technologies, you may modify the settings in your browser or mobile device not to accept them, although this may disable or render unusable some of the features of our website and/or mobile applications.
