Website Visitors
The practices in this section of the Privacy Policies apply to all Website visitors, wherever they reside. When we collect information that you provide to us directly, we are a “controller” under the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), and a “business” or “controller” under state privacy laws.
Type of Information Collected
Depending on how you interact with us, we may collect:
Your name and contact information – like email and business phone number;
Device and browser information – like IP address, approximate geographic location, computer type, screen resolution, OS version, and browser type;
Communications – like comments or opinions you provide to us through our contact form or through a third-party service, including messages you send us on social media; and
Inferences based on that information – like information generated from your use of the Website or communications with us reflecting your interest in our products and services.
How Information Is Collected
We collect personal information when you provide it directly to us through forms – on our Websites or on third party or unaffiliated vendor sites – or through Forums, Promotions or surveys. We may collect inferential information from publicly-available sources or service providers.
We also collect personal information about the type of devices you use to access the Website and your interactions with the Website indirectly using web beacons placed by us or our service providers on our Website and in email communications.
Our Websites and applications may contain links to non-CSN Press sites and services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites. Privacy choices you make on those sites or services will not apply to our use of the information we collect directly through our Website – including applications and forms. This is also true for information you provide to us via third parties. The information you provide may be separately collected by the third party sites – those that refer or redirect you to us – and subject to their privacy practices.
Why We Process Information
We use collected information to provide you with requested information, and inform you of important information regarding CSN Press Services, the Website, including changes to Website terms, conditions and policies. We may also use your contact information to craft communications to you using services that rely on machine learning and generative artificial intelligence models.
We may also use cookie-level data to understand how our Websites are being reached and used and to aid in marketing efforts and advertisement placement. Alongside cookies, web beacons may be used to allow us to accurately count the number of unique users who have visited a specific page on the Website, or opened or acted upon an email. This information allows us to measure the performance of our Website and our email and marketing campaigns.
When you use multiple browsers on a single device, or use various devices (such as desktops, smartphones and tablets), we and our service providers and third parties may use cross-device/cross-context technology to connect these various accounts or profiles and the corresponding data from the different contexts and devices to allow you to use the CSN Press Services seamlessly across such devices.
How We Share Information
We do not share your personal information outside of CSN Press’ current and future corporate subsidiaries and affiliates except in limited circumstances, including:
When you allow or direct us to share your personal information with another company as part of either their services and products.
In connection with a corporate transaction, proceeding or reorganization involving the business activities for which the information is maintained. You will be notified via a prominent notice on our Website, of any change in ownership.
To enforce our policies, to protect our rights, privacy, safety, or property, and/or that of our affiliates, you or others, to comply with legal process to the extent we believe necessary or required under applicable law, and to permit us to pursue available remedies or limit the damages that we may sustain.

Data Security, Integrity, and Retention
We understand that your trust is integral to our business. We regularly review our security procedures to consider appropriate new technology and methods. Please be aware that, despite our best efforts, no security measures are perfect or impenetrable. We will retain your personal information for the length of time needed to fulfill the purposes outlined in these Privacy Policies and our agreements with you unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. We will honor any deletion requests we receive in accordance with the laws applicable to that information.
Children’s Privacy
CSN Press Services, and our Websites, are not intended for use by children under 16 years of age.

International Transfers
We operate globally and may transfer your personal information to a CSN Press affiliate in other countries, but solely for the purposes described in these Privacy Policies. Wherever your personal information is transferred, stored or processed by us, we will take reasonable steps to safeguard its privacy. These steps may include implementing standard contractual clauses where recognized by law, obtaining your consent or relying on other lawful means of transferring personal information. By using the Website, or where you provide personal information to request documents from or contact us, you consent to this transfer. We will protect the privacy and security of personal information we collect in accordance with these Privacy Policies, regardless of where it is processed or stored.
