This Site
is owned by Sandler Seating Ltd., a UK company. This Privacy Policy is designed
to inform you of how this Site collects, uses, and discloses the information
you provide via this Site. By using this Site, you acknowledge that you agree
to the terms of this Privacy Policy and the Terms of Use. Do not use this Site

websites are not covered by this Privacy Policy even though those sites may be
owned by business partners of or service providers to Sandler Seating Ltd,

C.
Information Collection - Passive
This Site
uses various technologies to passively collect information from you while you
are visiting (that is, you do not actively provide this information). Such
technologies allow the Site to collect a range of information, including your
Internet Protocol (IP) address (a unique identifier automatically assigned to
your computer when logging onto the Internet), the type of Web browser and operating
system you use, the date and time you visit the Site, the specific pages you
visit on the Site, session identifiers assigned to your visit and the address
of the website you visited before coming to this Site – all of which are
non-personally identifiable information. We typically use such passively
collected information for a variety of purposes, such as to administer the
Site, customize the Site to your preferences, and compile aggregated statistics
for marketing and research purposes. We reserve the unrestricted right to use
this passively collected, non-personally identifiable information, including,
but not limited to, selling, leasing, permitting access to, or otherwise
transferring it to our affiliates, business partners, advertisers, dealers, and
other third parties.
Two types of passive information collection technologies deserve special
mention:
1. Web
Beacons
"Web
beacons" (also known as single-pixel GIFs, clear GIFs, invisible GIFs, and
1-by-1 GIFs) are Internet tags that are smaller than cookies and may tell the
website server non-personally identifiable information such as the IP address
and browser type related to the user's computer. This Site does not use
"Web beacons."
2. Cookies
"Cookies"
are small text files that store information about your interactions with a
particular website, either temporarily (known as a "temporary" or
"session" cookie, and deleted once you close your browser window) or
more permanently on the hard drive of your computer (known as a "permanent"
or "persistent cookie"). Cookies can make it easier to use a website
by allowing servers to access certain information quickly. Session cookies can
be used to help a user's browser navigate a website more smoothly. Persistent
cookies can be used to customize a website for a user, such as by storing
passwords, preferences, and registration and account information so that users
do not have to reenter them each time they visit a website.
This Site
uses both session/temporary cookies and persistentermanent cookies to store
information that allows us to serve you better. To make the Site easier to use,
we combine information collected via cookies with personally identifiable
information. Please understand that if you set up your browser to disallow
cookies, you might not be able to access important functions or areas of the
Site.
D.
Information Collection – Active
Certain
areas of this Site may ask or require you to provide certain kinds of
information, including personally identifiable information, such as full name,
address, phone number, e-mail address, etc. The Site usually will indicate
which information is required and which information is optional at the
information collection area in question. By providing data via an active
information collection point on this Site, you specifically consent to the
collection, use, and dissemination of such data in accordance with this Privacy
Policy.

your name, address, and e-mail address, so that we may send you the information

information about you to help us better serve your interests and needs.
2. Email

whatever information you submit in your e-mail, including your name, e-mail

5.
Employment
This Site

the purpose of submitting applications for available positions of employment at
our company. If you submit an online employment application, you will be disclosing
any personally identifiable information you have included in your application
to such third parties, which then share that information with us. Even though
the online employment application has our company logo, you should be aware
that the third party will use data you provide via any online employment
application in accordance with its registration instructions and its privacy
policy. Please be sure that you have reviewed, and agree to, the terms of the
third party employment company privacy policy before you submit an online

previous work experience and salary expectations. We may use and distribute
this information internally and among our affiliated companies as necessary to
consider your application and to contact you regarding our decision. We may
also use this information from time to time to inform you of other employment
opportunities and related information that may be of interest to you. We do not
use or disclose this information other than for the purposes described here. Please

be considered for employment opportunities with us or our affiliates. If you
have any questions regarding a third part employment site’s use of information,
please contact the third-party website.
To comply
with various government recordkeeping requirements, the application may also
ask you to provide certain other optional categories of information about
yourself. Providing or not providing such information will not adversely affect
your employment prospects, and such information will not become part of your
employment application or our or our affiliates' employment files.
7. E-Mail

provide as necessary to process and ship your order (e.g., by disclosing your
name and address to fulfillment houses and delivery services such as UPS or
Federal Express, (ii) use the personally identifiable information you provide
to notify you about the status of your order, (iii) retain this information to
create an account for later use (so that you do not need to re-enter the
