Tarkett appreciates your interest in its products and
your visit to this website. Your privacy is important to us, and we
want you to feel comfortable visiting our sites. The protection of
your privacy in the processing of your personal data is an
important concern to which we pay special attention during our
business processes. When you register at theTarkett website, we aim
to respect your privacy. This Privacy Policy sets forth how we
handle information we obtain from you and learn about you when you
visit our Web site.
Desso collects two types of information about you when you
visit our site:
1. personal information (including, by way of example
only, your name, address, telephone number and e-mail address),
and
2. non-personal, aggregate information (such as
information regarding the pages on our site that you have visited,
length of your visit and your IP address).
1.
Personally-Identifiable
The only personally-identifying information we
collect and store about you is the information that you choose to
provide to us. Any personal information which we collect will be
used solely for the purpose of providing our services, and we will
not hold it for any longer than is necessary for this
purpose.
Electronic Mail
We will gather your personally-identifiable
information when you send us an e-mail. We will use this
information to respond to your e-mail.
Sharing Your Information
We may share your personally-identifiable information
with companies within the Tarkett family or companies only in
order to provide our services.
We use outside logistic companies to distribute all
commercial and consumer orders. If you order from us, we will share
your personally-identifiable information with these companies to
fulfill your order. For orders within the European Union we will
also share our commercial customers' account numbers with our
logistic partners in order to fulfill commercial
orders.
An outside company responds to consumer and
commercial requests for additional information about our products.
We will share your personally-identifiable information with any
such company in order to respond to your request.
2. Non Personally-Identifiable
Information
When you access our websites, we may automatically
(i.e., not by registration) collect non-personal data (e.g. type of
Internet browser and operating system used, domain name of the Web
site from which you came, number of visits, average time spent on
the site, pages viewed). We may use this data and share it with our
worldwide affiliates to monitor the attractiveness of our Web sites
and improve their performance or content.
Cookies
At certain points in your visit to the Tarkett
site, our server may send a 'cookie' file to your computer. Your
Web browser may prompt you to accept this file unless you have set
your browser preferences to accept all cookies automatically.
Cookies are employed primarily as a service to our customers, to
extend the relevance and responsiveness of the Tarkett site.
We may link cookie information with any personally-identifiable
information you provide us.
Other Non-Personally-Identifiable
Information
The Tarkett website may collect non-personally
identifiable information during your visit, such as type of
browser, operating system, domain name or IP address. An IP address
is a number that is automatically or manually assigned to your
computer whenever you're surfing the Web. Webservers -- the big
computers that "serve" up Web pages -- automatically identify your
computer by its IP address. When you visit pages on Tarkett's
website our servers log your IP address. We do not link IP
addresses to any personally identifiable information. This means
that your session will be logged, but you remain anonymous to us.
IP address information is used only to improve the service of
the Tarkett site.
For statistical purposes, your IP address gets
logged. This provides us information from where you visited us.
This information is limited to country, region and place name. More
detailed location information is not collected through your IP
address.
Tarkett also collects information through 'referrers'
and various environmental variables. A 'referrer' is information
the web browser passes along to Tarkett's web server that
references the URL from which you came. 'Environmental variables'
include, among other things, the domain from which you access the
Internet, the time you accessed our Web site, type of Web browser
and operating system or platform used, the Internet address of the
Web site you left to visit Tarkett and the names of the pages you
visit while at our website.
We collect all of this information to allow us to
detect broad demographic trends, to provide information tailored to
your interests and to enhance your experience on Tarkett's
website.
Profiling
To help us improve our website and to ensure that we
make every effort to provide you with information and offers that
are of interest to you, we may merge your personally-identifiable
information with click-stream data and other data we have
(including cookies and offline data). We will provide notice of
this, as well as an opportunity to opt-out of it, at the time and
place of information collection and before data is entered on our
system.
We may also develop a non-identifiable profile on you
based on the pages that you visit within our site.
Links
This Web site may contain links to other sites.
Please be aware that we are not responsible for the privacy
practices of such other sites. We encourage our users to read the
privacy statements of each and every website that they visit. This
privacy statement applies solely to information collected when you
visit the Tarkett website.
Notification of Changes
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will
post those changes on our Homepage so you will always be aware of
what information we collect, how we use it, and under what
circumstances we disclose it. We will use information in accordance
with the privacy policy under which the information was
collected.
