We may sell or share your personal information for the following business or commercial purposes:

For marketing activities, including targeting and retargeting our ads and our affiliates’ ads based on your activity on our websites

Other than these exceptions, we do not and will not disclose your personal information to any third party in exchange for monetary or other valuable consideration or share your personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.

Notice of Right to Opt-Out of the Selling and Sharing of Your Information

Depending on the state where you reside, you may have the right to tell us NOT to sell or share your personal information. You have the full and free right to opt-out of our disclosure of your personal information to any third parties where the disclosure constitutes “selling” or “sharing” as defines by specific state laws. You may exercise your right to opt-out without fear of discrimination for doing so. To opt-out of our selling and sharing of your information, meaning we will not disclose your information to third parties for any monetary or other valuable consideration, you can do any of the following: Click HERE to send an online opt-out submission form.

A request to opt-out need not be a verifiable consumer request. However, we may deny a request to opt-out if we have a good faith, reasonable, and documented belief that a request to opt-out is fraudulent. If we deny your request to opt-out, we shall inform you of our decision not to comply and provide an explanation as to why we believe the request is fraudulent.

Opt-Out Preference Signals

Opt-out preference signals provide consumers with a simple and easy-to-use method by which to exercise the right to opt-out of the selling and sharing of their information. Global Privacy Controls (GPC) or Universal Opt-Out Mechanism (UOOM) are user-enabled opt-out preference signals which can communicate a user’s “Do Not Sell or Share” request on behalf of the person or device. We will process opt-out preferences from GPC and UOOM signals which are in formats commonly used and recognized by businesses, such as an HTTP field header. We will treat a consumer’s use of GPCs or UOOMs as a valid request to opt-out of the selling and sharing of information for that browser. We currently do not connect browser use to particular consumers and, as such, you will need to use GPCs or UOOMs on all browsers in which you access our website and use our opt-out form to opt-out of offline sales.

Do Not Track (DNT) is a privacy preference that users can set if they do not want web services to collect information about their online activity. We do not respond to DNT signals or other mechanisms (with the exception of GPCs and UOOMs) that provide a choice regarding the collection of personal information about activities over time and across different websites or online services.

This website is owned and operated by Welbilt UK Ltd. ("Welbilt") a Welbilt Inc. group company.

At Welbilt, we recognize the importance of privacy to you and are firmly committed to protecting your privacy when you visit the Site and provide information to us. As a result, we have instituted this website privacy policy ("Privacy Policy"). Welbilt is providing this Privacy Policy to explain how we collect, use, disclose and protect the Personal Data you submit to us when accessing and using the Site. Welbilt is the controller within the meaning of applicable data protection laws.

As used in this Privacy Policy, "we," "our" and "us" means Welbilt and its affiliates.

The meaning of Personal Data

“Personal Data” is defined in data protection laws applicable in your country. It includes any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. This means any individual who can be identified directly or indirectly by reference to an identifier such as name, identification number, location data, online identifiers (for example, IP addresses – if they can be used to identify you) or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

Put simply, this includes data which either by itself or with other data held by us or available to us, can be used to identify you.

Important notice about international transfers

Due to the global nature of our business, your Personal Data will be stored and transferred to parties located in other countries, including outside the European Economic Area. These other countries will either have different data protection laws than your country of residence or they will not have data protection laws. They may not be deemed by the European Commission as providing adequate protection for Personal Data.

In particular, we store your Personal Data on servers in the United States of America. The US are not deemed by the European Commission to have adequate protections for Personal Data. Steps will be taken to put in place safeguards (including around security) to protect your Personal Data when it is in these other countries. This may include the use of European Model Clause contracts, where required under applicable law. You can find out what these are online at the following address: http://ec.europa.eu/justice/data-protection/international-transfers/transfer/index_en.htm. If you have any questions or wish to be provided with a copy please contact us (details below). Please note commercially sensitive information may be removed/blanked out from copies supplied to you.

The categories of Personal Data we may collect, the purpose and the lawful basis

Personal Data collected from you include the following:

Categories of Personal Data	Purpose	Lawful basis
Application data (e.g. name, CV)	Processing of this personal data is required to enable Welbilt to administer the recruiting process, including the set-up of an electronic job applicant HR file, managing your application, organizing interviews.

Contact information (e.g. full name, postal address, e-mail address, employer/business and professional information, job titles, telephone and fax numbers)	Managing and responding to your queries and processing orders submitted via the b2b order submission tool. We also use this data to sign you up for our guarantee program and to provide you with information requested via the Welbilt Data-Center.

Browsing information (IP address, browser information)	Monitoring and producing statistical information regarding the use of our platforms, and analysing and improving their functionality.	Legitimate interests - we need to perform this limited routine monitoring to make sure our Sites work properly, to diagnose any problems with our server and administer our Site.

E-Mail address, name	We use this data so send you newsletters and marketing information.	Your consent

In summary, we need certain categories of Personal Data because that is necessary in order to administer any contract with you (where relevant). Certain other Personal Data is processed for our legitimate interests in cases where this does not result in prejudice to you.

Keeping you informed and direct marketing

With your consent, where relevant we will keep your name, address and contact details (including telephone numbers and email addresses) in our databases and may from time to time use that information to make you aware of our own related products and services as well as updates on developments in our industry sector generally which may be of interest to you. We may contact you in writing, by telephone, fax or email for this. If at any time you decide that you do not want your contact details used for these purposes, please tell us (see “Contact us” below).

Data anonymisation and use of aggregated information

We may convert your Personal Data into statistical or aggregated data in such a way as to ensure that you are not identified or identifiable from that data. We may use this aggregated data to conduct market research and analysis, including to produce statistical research and reports. For example, we may produce reports on which of our product offerings attract the fewest or the highest number of enquiries from brokers and intermediaries and other persons visiting our Site.

In particular, we use technology to collect anonymous information about the use of this Site. For example:

we use technology to track which pages of our Site visitors view. We also use technology to determine which web browsers our visitors use. This technology does not identify you personally, it simply enables us to compile statistics about our visitors and their use of our Site.
certain pages of this Site may contain hyperlinks to other pages of it. We may use technology to track how often these links are used and which pages on our Site our visitors choose to view. Again this technology does not identify you personally — it simply enables us to compile statistics about the use of these hyperlinks.

We use this anonymous data to improve the content and functionality of this Site and consider areas and subjects which are attracting interest so that we can focus our e-mail updates (for those that wish to receive such communications). This allows us to better understand our Site visitors’ interest areas generally and therefore to improve our Site and products and services we offer.

Cookies and analytic tools

We may from time to time use cookies on our Site. Cookies are small text files that your web browser leaves on your hard drive to recognize you as a repeat user of our Site, track your use of our Site and target advertising.

Unless a visitor specifically provides their identity to us, e.g., by registering at our Site, providing information through an online form or sending us correspondence from the Site, we will not know the identification of individual visitors. We may use cookies to store preferences; record session information; develop information about Site visitors' preferences and interests; record past activity at a website in order to provide better service when you return to our Site; or customize web page content based on information you voluntarily provide.

Security of Personal Data

We endeavour to use appropriate technical and physical security measures to protect Personal Data which is transmitted, stored or otherwise processed by us, from an unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure of, or access, in connection with our Site. These measures include computer safeguards and secured files and facilities. Our service providers are also selected carefully and required to use appropriate protective measures. In certain areas, Welbilt uses industry-standard SSL-encryption to protect data transmissions. Most current browsers support the level of security needed to use these areas.

In particular, we endeavour to implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk, including as appropriate: (a) pseudonymisation (such as where data is separated from direct identifiers so that linkage to an identity is not possible without additional information that is held separately) and encryption, (b) ensuring the ongoing confidentiality, integrity, availability and resilience of systems and services used to process your Personal Data, (c) ensuring the ability to restore the availability and access to Personal Data in a timely manner in the event of a physical or technical incident; and (d) ensuring a process for regularly testing, assessing and evaluating the effectiveness of technical and organisational security measures.
