How Do We Use The Information We Gather?

When we collect information about you, it is our intention to tell you why we are asking for the information and what we intend to do with it. You will have the option of not providing the information, in which case you may still be able to access other portions of this website, although you may not be able to access certain programs or services. In certain areas of our website, we may, where appropriate, enable you to “opt out” of certain uses of your information, or elect not to receive future communications or services.

The information we collect about you or your computer will be used to operate our website and to provide customer support, respond to your requests or process any transactions you have authorized.

LTD. product or service that you are using or that we believe may be of interest to you.

Will we share this information with third parties? In certain instances, we may make your information available to third parties with whom we have a relationship where that third party is providing services on our behalf. We will only provide those third parties with information that is necessary for them to perform the services and we take measures to protect your information.

We may also disclose the information to our business partners, for marketing and other purposes which we believe may be beneficial to you.

COLUMBIA MANUFACTURING CO. LTD. is a global company with customers and partners in over 140 countries worldwide. Accordingly, the information we collect may be used, stored and processed in the United States or in any other country in which COLUMBIA MANUFACTURING CO. LTD. does business.

What About Data Security?

COLUMBIA MANUFACTURING CO. LTD.’s intent is to strictly protect the security of your personal information; honour your choice for its intended use; and carefully protect your data from loss, misuse, unauthorized access or disclosure, alteration, or destruction. We have taken appropriate steps to safeguard and secure information we collect online, including the use of encryption when collecting or transferring sensitive data such as credit card information.

However, you should always take into consideration that the internet is an open forum and that data may flow across networks with little or no security measures, and therefore such information may be accessed by people other than those you intended to access it.
