PRIVACY POLICY
This privacy policy discloses the privacy practices
for this web site operated by Mohawk Industries, Inc. (“Mohawk”). Mohawk wants you to understand the terms and
conditions surrounding Mohawk’s collection and use of your personally identifiable
information through this web site.
Information Collection and Use
Mohawk collects personally
identifiable information when you visit the site’s pages or when you
voluntarily provide information to Mohawk through the site.
The site automatically logs
information about you from your browser when you visit the site, such as your
IP address, the pages you visit and similar information. You may also choose to voluntarily provide us
with information about you at various places on the site. Personal information which we may ask you to
provide includes your name, location, e-mail address, company affiliation,
telephone number, and other similar information.
This site may place and
access cookies when you visit the site.
A cookie is a small data file that web sites commonly write to your hard
drive when you visit them. A cookie file contains information that can identify
you each time you visit the site. This
site uses cookies as a way to measure activity and traffic patterns on the
site. You may choose to set your
computer to reject cookies if you desire.
From
time-to-time our site may request additional information from users via surveys
or contests. Participation in these
surveys or contests is completely voluntary and you therefore have a choice
whether or not to disclose additional information that may be requested. Information requested via surveys and
contests may include additional demographic information.
Mohawk may use the
information collected through this site to send you information and promotional
material, to process your requests for information or services, or to customize
the site for your future visits.
Sharing and Disclosure
Mohawk is not in the business
of selling or renting your personally identifiable information. Mohawk may share information about you with
others under the following circumstances:
·
when necessary to
third parties who work for Mohawk in order to process your requests or provide
you information;
·
when you consent
to disclosure;
·
by operation of
law, when such information is transferred as a part of a sale of assets
including the assets represented by this site;
·
to comply with
law, court orders, subpoena or legal process; or
·
to enforce or
apply Mohawk’s agreements or protect Mohawk’s rights.
In the event that Mohawk or
substantially all of its assets are acquired outside of the ordinary course of
business, your information may be one of the transferred assets.
Linked Sites
It is important to note that Mohawk’s web
site contains links to other web sites and that those other web sites may not
follow the same privacy policies as Mohawk.
For instance, if you click an ad on our web site, this may take you away
from our site to an entirely different web site. This includes links from
advertisers, content providers and trade partners who may use our logo and/or
style as part of a co-branding agreement. These other web sites may collect
data from you that Mohawk would not and may use that data in ways that Mohawk
would not.
Security
This site takes
precautions to protect your personally identifiable information. In certain areas of the site, your
information may be protected using standard Secure Socket Layer (SSL)
encryption technology. While we use SSL
encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also take steps to
protect user-information off-line. All
of our users’ information is restricted in our offices. All employees are kept
up-to-date on our security and privacy practices. Any time new policies are added;
our employees are notified and/or reminded about the importance we place on
privacy, and what they can do to ensure our customers’ information is
protected.
Correcting and Deleting Information
1. If the information you have
given Mohawk changes and you would like to modify it or if you would like to
view the information Mohawk has about you, send your request to the following
location. In addition, if you wish to
remove information about yourself from Mohawk’s files, use the Contact Mohawk
form or send an email to the address listed on the site.
With any request, provide Mohawk with a means to
identify you and contact you if necessary. Mohawk will respond to appropriate
requests within a reasonable time.
Changes to Privacy Policy
Mohawk may amend this Privacy
Policy from time to time. If Mohawk
decides to change its privacy practices for this site, Mohawk will post those
changes to the Privacy Policy on the site in advance of the changes taking
effect. You should periodically check
the site to review changes.
