Stackpole Engineering Services, Inc. is committed to protecting your personal information and your right to privacy. This Privacy Policy (Policy
)
explains what information we collect, how we use it, and what rights you have in relation to it.
By using this website and providing us with your information, you agree to this Policy. When the term you
is used below, we refer to you
as an individual,
and you along with your end-users if you are a business entity.
We collect information that you voluntarily provide to us when contacting us through our site. The personal information we collect may include your name, company, location, phone number, and e-mail address. We automatically collect certain information when you visit, use, or navigate our website. This information does not reveal your specific identity but may include device and usage information, such as your IP address, referring URLs, location, information about how and when you use our website and other technical information. This information is primarily needed to maintain the security and operation of our website and for our internal analytics.
We require use of the information we collect or receive to respond to your inquiries and requests for information and/or our services.
We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties your personally identifiable information. This does not include trusted third parties who assist us in conducting our business, or servicing you, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential. We may also release your information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce our site policies, or protect ours or others rights, property, or safety.
We have established appropriate physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure information we collect via this website. We cannot enforce or control the security of devices and networks that you may use to submit information to us. We are not responsible for the disclosure or interception of your information before we receive it.
Our website may contain links to enable you to visit other websites of interest easily. These third-party sites have separate and independent privacy policies. We therefore have no responsibility or liability for the content and activities of these linked sites.
Our website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google, Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 USA, www.google.com (Google Analytics
or Google
).
Google Analytics employs cookies that are stored to your computer in order to facilitate an analysis of your use of the site. The information generated by these cookies, such as time,
place and frequency of your visits to our site, including your IP address, is transmitted to Google's location in the US and stored there.
Google may transfer information to third parties where required to do so by law or where such third parties process this data on Google's behalf. Google states that it will in never associate your
IP address with other data held by Google. You can prevent cookies from being installed by adjusting the settings on your browser software. You should be aware, however, that by doing so you may not
be able to make full use of all the functions of our website. Google Analytics also offers a deactivation add-on for most current browsers that provides you with more control over what data Google
can collect on websites you access. The add-on tells the JavaScript (ga.js) used by Google Analytics not to transmit any information about website visits to Google Analytics. However, the browser
deactivation add-on offered by Google Analytics does not prevent information from being transmitted to us or to other web analysis services we may engage.
Google Analytics also uses electronic images known as web beacons (sometimes called single pixel gifs) and are used along with cookies to compile aggregated statistics to analyze how our site is used.
You can find additional information on how to install the browser add-on referenced above at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
For the cases in which personal data is transferred to the US, Google has self-certified pursuant to the EU-US Privacy Shield (https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework).
Our website is not directed to children under 18 and is not intended for children. If we are made aware that we have collected any personal information from minors, and are asked to delete such information from our databases, we will promptly do so.
If you access a Site from outside of the United States, information that we collect about you will be transferred to servers inside the United States, which may involve the transfer of information out of your country of origin. By allowing us to collect personal information about you, you consent to such transfer and processing of your personal information.

Exercising access, data portability, and deletion rights
To exercise the access, portability and/or deletion rights described above, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us by emailing us at ip@pearne.com.
We will ask you for information that allows us to reasonably verify your identity (that you are the person about whom we collected personal information) and will
use that information only for that purpose. We may request that you submit a signed statement under penalty of perjury that you are the individual you claim to be.
We will acknowledge receipt of your request within 10 days and will endeavor to respond within forty-five days of receipt of your request, but if we require more time
(up to an additional forty-five days) we will notify you of our need for additional time. For requests that we not sell your information we will comply with your request
within 15 days. We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity and confirm that the personal information relates

For requests for a copy of the personal information we have collected during the 12 months prior to your request we will endeavor to provide the information in a format that is readily useable,
including by mailing you a paper copy or providing an electronic copy to your registered account, if you have registered an account with us.
For requests for deletion of your information please understand that California law permits us to retain certain information and not to delete it under certain circumstances.
By way of example, we are not required to comply with a request to delete information if the information is necessary for us to complete a transaction for you or otherwise perform a
contract; to detect, protect against, or prosecute security incidents, fraud or illegal activity; to use the information only internally in ways reasonably aligned with your expectations
as our customer (such as prosecuting and/or maintaining your IP portfolio), and to comply with legal obligations. If we receive such a request from you, we will notify any service providers
we have engaged to delete your information as well.
We will not discriminate against you as a result of your exercise of any of these rights.
