RPM International Inc., and its affiliates, subsidiaries, and operating companies (the “Company," "us," "we") understands the importance of protecting your privacy, and this Privacy Policy sets out how we process personal information. It describes, among other things, the types of personal information that we collect, the purposes for which we use it, the types of third parties with whom we share it, and the rights and responsibilities you may have with respect to it.

This Privacy Policy applies to the personal information you provide us when you (i) visit any website or interact with software that we own, license, or otherwise operate and that links to this Privacy Policy (each, a “Site”), (ii) purchase or receive products, goods, or services through the Site, or (iii) visit our offices or otherwise contact or engage with us. For purposes of this Privacy Policy, the Site and all products, goods and services sold or furnished by the Company through a Site shall be referred to collectively as the “Services.”

PLEASE READ THIS PRIVACY POLICY CAREFULLY AS IT DESCRIBES YOUR RIGHTS, RESPONSIBILITIES, AND LIABILITIES. BY ACCESSING OR USING THE SERVICES OR OTHERWISE PROVIDING US WITH PERSONAL INFORMATION, YOU ARE CONSENTING TO THE TERMS OF THIS PRIVACY POLICY AND THE COMPANY’S TERMS OF USE AND ANY APPLICABLE COOKIE POLICY ON A SITE.

You must be at least eighteen (18) years of age to access the Services. RPM International Inc. is headquartered in the United States, and the personal information you provide to the Company may be processed and stored in the United States and other jurisdictions. For more information on our data transfer practices, please see Section 9 (Data Retention and Localization).

1.Scope

In most instances this Privacy Policy will apply to personal information that the Company receives during its business operations as a “data controller”.  This means we determine the purpose and means of processing such personal information. For purposes of this Privacy Policy, the term “personal information” means any information that, alone or in conjunction with other information or data, identifies or is linked to a natural person and that is subject to, or otherwise afforded protection under, a data protection law, statute, or regulation. The term “personal information” does not include anonymized or de-identified data that is not attributable to a particular individual, household, or device and that is not otherwise subject to a data protection law, statute, or regulation. The Company may anonymize or de-identify personal information, and such data is not subject to this Privacy Policy, and the Company may use such data for any purpose.  In some instances, the Company may receive your personal information as a “data processor”.  This means that another party determines the purpose and means of processing such personal information.  In such cases the Company will process your Personal Information only on the written instructions of the data controller and to the extent reasonably necessary or appropriate for the performance of the services to which it is engaged, including the transfer of personal data to third countries, unless provided otherwise by Personal Data Protection Laws to which the Company is subject.

14.Your Responsibilities

You are permitted, and hereby agree, to only provide personal information to the Company if such personal information is accurate, reliable, and relevant to our relationship and only to the extent such disclosure will not violate any applicable law, statute, or regulation or infringe upon a person’s data privacy rights or privileges. IF YOU PROVIDE PERSONAL INFORMATION (INCLUDING PERSONAL INFORMATION CONCERNING A THIRD PARTY) TO THE COMPANY, YOU EXPRESSLY REPRESENT AND WARRANT TO THE COMPANY THAT YOU HAVE THE FULL RIGHT AND AUTHORITY TO PROVIDE THE COMPANY WITH SUCH PERSONAL INFORMATION (INCLUDING PERSONAL INFORMATION CONCERNING A THIRD PARTY) AND THAT THE COMPANY’S USE AND PROCESSING OF SUCH PERSONAL INFORMATION AS SET FORTH HEREIN WILL NOT VIOLATE ANY PERSON’S RIGHTS OR PRIVILEGES, INCLUDING RIGHTS TO PRIVACY.

If your account does not contain such an editing feature, then you must notify the Company directly of any changes or updates to your personal information in accordance with the “Contact Us” section listed below.

16.Email Marketing Opt-Out

You have the right to opt out of receiving email marketing communications and direct-mail marketing from us. Where required by law, the email marketing communications that you receive from us will provide you an option to “unsubscribe” from receiving future email marketing communications from us. You may also unsubscribe from email and direct-mail marketing by contacting us in accordance with the “Contact Us” section listed below. Due to production, mailing and system timelines, it may take some time to process your request. Until your requested change takes effect, you may still receive communications from us. If you send us your request by regular mail, please allow extra time for us to receive your notice. Please note: Although you may have opted not to receive communications, you may still receive business-related communications such as order confirmations, product recall notices, membership information, or other communications that are necessary to complete your transaction. You hereby agree to immediately notify the Company, in writing, in the event you no longer own, license, or use an email address to which you subscribed to receive email marketing from us.

17.Biometric Data

Where permitted by law and in certain limited circumstances, the Company may collect biometric data and biometric identifiers related to our customers, suppliers, service providers, employees, temporary workers, contractors, or agents. For example, the Company may use cameras, kiosks, and similar devices and technology to collect, retain, and use information derived from the scanning of a person’s facial geometry or thermal temperature in order to facilitate the Company’s health and safety screening programs, and for other security-related purposes. In other circumstances, the Company may collect biometric data or biometric identifiers from individuals that are accessing sensitive areas of the Company’s facilities or for other administrative (e.g., timekeeping) or security functions and purposes.  The Company will retain such biometric identifiers for no longer than as is permitted by law, but in no event longer than a) one (1) year after the applicable individual’s last interaction with the Company, or b) as is necessary to fulfill its collection purpose. The Company will maintain protocols for the security and destruction, or disposal of, biometric identifiers in a manner that complies with applicable data protection law and renders such data and identifiers unreadable so as to remove any potential for its reuse or re-identification. Barring any applicable law to the contrary, the Company may disclose and disseminate biometric identifiers to third parties in the same manner as it may disclose and disseminate personal information to third parties in accordance with this Privacy Policy, and such disclosures of biometric identifiers may include to third party service providers and law enforcement or regulatory agencies, where permitted by law.

18.Do-Not-Track Signals

Some web browsers may transmit “do-not-track” signals to the Site with which the user communicates. Because of differences in how web browsers incorporate and activate this feature, it is not always clear whether users intend for these signals to be transmitted, or whether they are even aware of them. Unless otherwise required by law, we currently do not take action in response to these signals.

19.Persons with Disabilities

The Company strives to ensure that every person has access to information related to our Services, including this Privacy Policy. Please contact us in accordance with the “Contact Us” section listed below if you would like this Privacy Policy provided in an alternative format, and we will seek to meet your needs.

20.Rewards Programs and Financial Incentives

We collect and use personal information, including personal information provided by a third party to administer and maintain our financial incentive, rewards, and loyalty programs (“Rewards Programs”). We use the personal information you provide in these programs to verify your identity, offer unique rewards, track your program status, and facilitate the exchange of program points for products, promotional materials, training workshops, and other items. If you consent to participate in any of our Rewards Programs, you may withdraw that consent at any time by contacting us in accordance with the “Contact Us” section listed below or in accordance with the instructions set forth in the applicable Rewards Program’s terms and conditions. The Company may use personal information gathered from, or related to, participants in our Rewards Programs for any other purpose or in any other manner set forth in this Privacy Policy.

21.Events and Video Teleconferencing

The Company hosts and uses video teleconferencing platforms to facilitate conferences, meetings, training events, and other programs. We often use online platforms that are owned and administered by a third-party service provider (e.g., Google, Zoom, WebEx, Skype for Business). Please be aware that our video teleconferencing may record the content, conversations, and discussions thereon, and such records may be stored or retained by our third-party service providers. By participating in our events and video teleconferencing, you hereby consent to the collection and retention of any information provided therein, and you hereby consent to the recording of such activities.

22.Canada Privacy Rights

Personal data shall be synonymous with personal information, where permitted, and will be collected, stored, used and/or processed by the Company in accordance with this Privacy Policy and the Company’s obligations under PIPEDA and other applicable Canadian provincial laws.

If you have submitted personal information to us and would like to have access to it, or have it corrected, please contact us in accordance with the “Contact Us” section listed below.

Your right to access personal information is not absolute, and we may not be able to allow you to access certain personal information in certain circumstances (e.g., if the information contains personal information of other persons or it is subject to legal privilege). In the event that we cannot provide you with access to, or the ability to correct, your personal information, we will use reasonable means to inform you of the reasons why, subject to any legal or regulatory restrictions.

Complaints. In the event you have concerns about our data processing, you have the right to file a complaint with your data protection authority.  For data protection authorities in the EU, please see here: https://edpb.europa.eu/about-edpb/about-edpb/members_en. For the data protection authority in Switzerland, please contact the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (https://www.edoeb.admin.ch/edoeb/en/home.html). For the data protection authority in the UK, please contact the Information Commissioner’s Office (www.ico.org.uk). We would, however, appreciate the opportunity to deal with your concerns before you approach a data protection authority with a complaint, and invite you to contact us in the first instance.

24.California Privacy Rights

Data Privacy Rights. If you are a resident of California you have the following data privacy rights:

Submit a Privacy Request. To submit a privacy request, you may contact us using any of the following means: (email) dataprotection@rpminc.com, (webform) https://www.rpminc.com/contact-rpm/, (telephone) 1 (800) 776-4488, or (mail) RPM International Inc., ATTN: Privacy Request, 2628 Pearl Road, Medina, OH 44256. If you would prefer, you may designate an authorized agent to submit a CCPA privacy request on your behalf. An authorized agent must be registered with the California Secretary of State to conduct business in California.

Privacy Request Verification Process. If you (or your authorized agent) make any request related to your personal information, the Company will ascertain your identity (and the identity of the authorized agent, to the extent applicable) to the degree of certainty required or permitted under the law before addressing your request. In particular, the Company will, to the extent required or permitted by law, require you (or your authorized agent) to verify your request via email, request certain contact information or government identifiers, and we will match at least two pieces of such personal information with data that we have previously collected from you before granting you access to, erasing, or correcting, specific pieces or categories of personal information, or otherwise responding to your request. We may require written documentation that demonstrates a third party is authorized to serve as your agent for the purposes of submitting the requests set forth herein, unless you have provided the authorized agent with power of attorney pursuant to California Probate Code §§ 4121 to 4130. None of the CCPA’s rights, as amended by the CPRA, are absolute, and such rights are subject to legal and regulatory exceptions and exemptions. For more information about the CCPA or the CPRA, please see: https://oag.ca.gov/privacy/ccpa.

Opt-Out Rights / Do Not Sell My Personal Information. California residents have the right to opt out of the “sale” of their personal information. However, the Company does not sell your personal information to third parties for profit or monetary or other valuable consideration, and therefore we do not provide opt-out request processes for the sale of personal information (because we do not undertake such activities).

Opt-Out Rights / Do Not Share My Personal Information. California residents have the right to opt out of the “sharing” of their personal information. The Company uses third-party analytical and targeted advertising features on our Site and similar web tools provided by our marketing partners, and such features, tools and marketing relationships involve the disclosure of your personal information to third parties and may constitute the “sharing” of your personal information. To opt out of this sharing of your personal information in these circumstances, please click on the cookie management/settings tool (sometimes visible as a “Your Privacy Choices” or as a “Do Not Sell/Share My Personal Information”) link on the footer of the Site to set your cookie preferences. You, or your authorized agent, may also contact us in accordance with the “Contact Us” section listed below.

Children. The Site is not directed at, and should not be used by, minors under the age of eighteen (18), and therefore the Company does not knowingly sell or share the personal information of minors under eighteen (18) years of age.

Limit Use of Sensitive Personal Information. The Company does not use or disclose sensitive personal information for reasons other than those set forth in the CCPA, and therefore we do not provide individuals with the ability to limit how we use or disclose such sensitive personal information.

The Company does not currently conduct “sales” of personal information for purposes of Nevada law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Nevada residents may submit a request directing us to not sell personal information we maintain about them to third parties who will sell or license their information to others. If you would like to exercise this right, please contact us in accordance with the “Contact Us” section listed below.

26.Virginia Privacy Rights

Virginia residents are entitled to the following data privacy rights:

Submit a Privacy Request. To submit a privacy request, you may contact us using any of the following means: (email) dataprotection@rpminc.com, (webform) https://rpminc.com/contact/, (telephone) 1 (800) 776-4488, or (mail) RPM International Inc., ATTN: Privacy Request, 2628 Pearl Road, Medina, OH 44256.

Privacy Request Verification Process. If you (or your authorized agent) make any request related to your personal information, the Company will ascertain your identity (and the identity of the authorized agent, to the extent applicable) to the degree of certainty required or permitted under the law before addressing your request. In particular, the Company will, to the extent required or permitted by law, require you (or your authorized agent) to verify your request via email, request certain contact information or government identifiers, and we will match at least two pieces of such personal information with data that we have previously collected from you before granting you access to, erasing, or correcting, specific pieces or categories of personal information, or otherwise responding to your request. None of Virginia’s privacy rights are absolute, and such rights are subject to legal and regulatory exceptions and exemptions. For more information about the Virginia Consumer Protection Act, please see: https://lis.virginia.gov/cgi-bin/legp604.exe?211+ful+SB1392ES1.

Privacy Requests Appeals Process. If you would like to appeal a decision the Company has made with respect to your privacy request, please email dataprotection@rpminc.com, with the subject line “PRIVACY REQUEST: APPEALS” and describe the nature of your request, and the reason requesting an appellate review. Virginia residents may file privacy complaints with the Virginia Attorney General (https://www.oag.state.va.us/contact-us/contact-info).

Opt-Out Rights / The Sale of Personal Information. Virginia residents have the right to opt out of the “sale” of their personal information. However, the Company does not sell your personal information to third parties for or monetary consideration, and therefore we do not provide opt-out request processes for the sale of personal information (because we do not undertake such activities).

Opt-Out Rights / Targeted Advertising. Virginia residents have the right to opt out of having their personal information used for targeted advertising purposes. The Company uses third-party analytical and targeted advertising features on our Site and similar web tools provided by our marketing partners. To opt out of this sharing of your personal information in these circumstances, please click on the cookie management/settings tool (sometimes visible as a “Your Privacy Choices” or as a “Do Not Sell/Share My Personal Information”) link on the footer of the Site to set your cookie preferences.

Opt-Out Rights / Profiling. Virginia residents have the right to opt out of having their personal information used for profiling in furtherance of decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects. However, the Company does not engage in such activities.
