Thank you for visiting SeeClearfield.com (the "Web Site") and reviewing Clearfield, Inc.’s (“Clearfield,” “we,” “our,” “us”) Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”). Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy describes the ways we collect, use, share and protect your personal information. By using the Web Site, you consent to our privacy practices described in this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy does not describe information collection practices on other sites, including those linked to or from the Web Site.

What Types of Information We Collect and Use:
We may collect your personal information directly from you when you voluntarily provide it to us via the Web Site, such as when you sign up to receive our communications containing valuable insights, events, and new resources.

The server on which the Web Site is located collects and saves only the default information customarily logged by web server software. Such information may include the date and time of your visit, the originating IP address, and the pages and images requested.

Like most Web sites, SeeClearfield.com also collects and logs information automatically and through the use of electronic web beaconing tools that may be transparent to you, such as your IP address, the name and location of your Internet Service Provider, the type and version of your browser, the length of time that you stay on SeeClearfield.com, search queries, your click-stream data, the location that referred you to SeeClearfield.com and the average number of pages viewed.

If you visit another Web site prior to browsing SeeClearfield.com, that Web site might place information within a URL, such as search queries, which may be logged by us. Your IP address is the identifier assigned to your particular computing device when you access the Internet. Depending on how you connect to the Internet, your IP address may always be the same, or it may change each time you access the Internet. Note that logging your IP address is not the same as your home or work address.

This Web Site does not respond to browser “Do Not Track” signals.

What Types of Information We Collect from Third Parties and Other Sources:
SeeClearfield.com may collect information about you from third parties, such as our service providers. For example, we use Google Analytics to generate statistical and other information about the use of our Web Site by means of cookies.

You can also learn more about how to opt out of the collection and processing of such information by Google by visiting this website: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

We may use third-party service providers to provide certain features on the Web Site or to display advertising on the Web Site based upon your online activities. You have the right to opt out of behavioral and interest-based marketing. To learn more about cookies and your ability to opt-out of certain advertising cookies, please visit the following websites: http://www.aboutads.info/choices or http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices.

If you choose to not accept cookies from this Web Site, you may not be able to take full advantage of our features or to receive some of the services that this Web Site provides.

Even if you disable tracking, keep in mind that you may still receive interest-based advertising, including from third parties with whom your information had been previously disclosed or advertising from third parties that is not based on your interests and preferences.

Data Rights under the GDPR:
This section of our Privacy Policy contains information for persons located in the European Union (“EU”), a European Economic Area (“EAA”) member state, or Switzerland. Before SeeClearfield.com collects any personal information from you, you are entitled under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), to the information in this section of our Privacy Policy.

Purposes and Legal Bases for Processing Personal Information
SeeClearfield.com collects your personal information to provide our products and services to you; otherwise, we may not be able to process the transactions you request. We will only process your personal information when we have a lawful basis for doing so. We will collect and process your personal information as necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party or because we have another legitimate interest in doing so relating to our business purposes arising from your relationship with us. We may also seek your prior consent or rely on some other lawful basis to process your personal information.

Our legitimate interests include but are not limited to:

• Provide you with the products and services you request, view, engage with, or purchase;

• Communicate with you regarding your account or transactions with us; and

• Operate, understand, optimize, develop, or improve our Web Site, applications, products, services, and operations.

Rights of Users Located in the EU

If you use the Web Site and are located in the EU, EAA, or Switzerland, you are entitled by law to access, correct, amend, or delete personal information about you that we hold. A summary listing these rights appears below. Please note that these rights are not absolute and certain exemptions may apply to specific requests that you may submit to us.

The right to access.  You have the right to ask us for copies of your personal information. When making a request, please provide an accurate description of the personal information to which you want access. Where requests are repetitive or manifestly unfounded or excessive, we may charge a reasonable fee based on administrative cost.

• The right to rectification.  You have the right to ask us to rectify information you think is inaccurate. You also have the right to ask us to complete information you think is incomplete.

• The right to erasure.  You have the right to ask us to erase your personal information in certain circumstances, including your personal information to be erased to comply with a legal obligation under EU or member state law.

• The right to restrict processing.  You have the right to ask us to restrict the processing of your personal information in certain circumstances, including: (i) when the accuracy of the personal information is brought into question, or (ii) when we no longer need the personal information for purposes of the processing, but require such personal information for the establishment, exercise, or defense of a legal claim.

• The right to data portability.  You have the right to ask that we transfer the personal information you gave us from one organization to another, or give it to you.

• The right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority.  If you believe your rights under the GDPR have been violated, the GDPR gives you the right to file a complaint with your supervisory authority. A list of Supervisory Authorities is available here:  http://ec.europa.eu/justice/data-protection/bodies/authorities/index_en.htm.

• The right to withdraw consent.  If we obtain your written consent to collect and process your personal information, you can subsequently withdraw such consent as to any further processing of information.

• Automated decision-making.  To the extent that we engage in decision-making based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning you or which significantly affects you, you have the right not to be subject to such decision-making.

To exercise these rights, please contact us using the contact information below. For your protection, we may need to verify your identity before responding to your request.  In the event that we refuse a request, we will provide you a reason as to why.

Right to Object to Processing
You have the right to object to the processing of your personal information that is based on legitimate interests. If you make such an objection, we will cease to process the personal information unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or we can demonstrate the processing is for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims. You can object to the processing of your personal information by contacting us using the contact information below.

Cross-Border Transfers of Personal Information
Personal information that you provide while in the EU, an EAA member state, or Switzerland will be transferred to the United States. The GDPR permits such transfers when necessary for the performance of a contract between you and Clearfield, if we obtain your explicit consent to such transfer, or if it is in our legitimate interest to transfer the personal information. The laws in the United States may not be as protective of your privacy as those in your location. If we transfer personal information from the EU, we will provide an appropriate safeguard such as using standard contractual clauses or with your consent.

Retention of Your Personal Information
We will retain your personal information until the personal information is no longer necessary to accomplish the purpose for which it was provided. We may retain your personal information for longer periods for specific purposes to the extent that we are obliged to do so in accordance with applicable laws and regulations, to protect you, other people, and us from fraud, abuse, an unauthorized access, as necessary to protect our legal rights, or for certain business requirements.

Changes and Updates to This Policy:
We reserve the right to change the information, services, features and policies at any time. We will post changes to this and any other policies on this Web Site in writing. Unless otherwise stated, any modifications to this Privacy Policy will go into immediate effect after they have been posted. Your continued use of this Web Site indicates your consent to the Privacy Policy posted at the time of use.
