HOW WE COLLECT AND GATHER INFORMATION ABOUT YOU

PPG does gather information about you when you access the Site, sign up to receive communications from us, and when you create a profile or log in as a registered user. As a result of those actions, you might provide PPG with, or PPG might receive, information including but not limited to:

Device Information: Information about the computer or other device you use to access the Site, such as IP address, user settings, MAC address, cookie identifiers, mobile carrier, mobile advertising and other unique identifiers, browser or device information, location information (including approximate location derived from IP address), Internet service provider, date and time of your most recent visit, or other similar information, and certain information about your online activities, such as pages that you visit before, during and after using our Site.

Signup and User Account Registration Information: Information you enter when signing up for updates or registering to create an account, such as your name, email address, job title, employer, your areas of professional interest and expertise, or a headshot. You can use the Site without providing your email address or creating a user account, but may not be able to receive communications such as e-mail updates from us, or access all Site content, without providing such information. If you choose to create a user account, you will be required to submit a user form that requests certain types of information about you, such as your first and last name and job title.

User-Generated Content: Information you may choose to share when using the Site, such as content you post to share with PPG and other users, or your answers to poll questions.

Cookies and Other Technologies: Cookies are small text files placed in device browsers that store preferences and facilitate and enhance your experience. A cookie file can contain information such as user ID that the Site uses to match with the registration you already provided to us. We may use cookies and other technologies such as Pixel Tags/Web Beacons (“Technologies”) to gather information when you navigate through our Site, in order to enhance the experience and our Site’s services and to analyze website usage. Other third parties may also use Technologies on our Site to collect information about your online activities. This information may be used by third parties to provide advertising tailored to your interests on other websites, apps and services you visit. You can review your Internet browser settings to exercise options you have for certain Technologies, or you may opt out of the collection and use of some Technologies through third party tools. If you disable or delete certain Technologies in your settings, you may not be able to use some features of our Site.

HOW WE USE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

We do not sell or share your Personal Information. We may use information collected through your use of our Site for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy and on other pages on our Site. For instance, we may create de-identified and/or aggregated information to track access to our Site and other communications tools, and we may use your IP address and device information to help us provide you with relevant services and to administer the Site. Web server logs are retained on a temporary basis and then deleted from our systems.

The information you provide to us or that we collect may also be used to provide you with opportunities to engage with PPG and other Site users through online comments and posts, poll responses, and in-person and virtual events. We may use this information to communicate with you, provide you with services or participation incentives, optimize our websites and tools, and analyze their use. The general public may be able to view User-Generated Content that you post. If you create a verified user account, your registration information may be included in a member directory that is accessible to PPG staff and other users with verified user accounts. PPG may use the information you submit when creating an account to verify your identity, such as by cross-referencing your account information with publicly-available information about you (e.g., on government websites or LinkedIn profiles). PPG may also pair information you provide with its internal records about your prior engagement with PPG, such as whether you have attended a PPG webinar in the past or been involved in a research project.

We engage third-party vendors to support the data uses described in this privacy policy, including distributing information about PPG and its programs and events. We may also use third-party vendors to carry out work on our behalf; to manage data related to employment applications; and to provide data storage. If needed for these purposes, we may share your information with such third-party vendors. We may also share or disclose your information if we believe that doing so is necessary or appropriate to: satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process or governmental request; investigate compliance with or enforce this privacy policy and other PPG contracts, terms and conditions; detect, prevent or otherwise address fraud, security or technical issues; or protect, defend or enforce the operations, property, rights and safety of users, PPG, its affiliates, or others.

HOW WE PROTECT AND RETAIN YOUR INFORMATION

We use appropriate data collection, storage and processing practices and security measures to protect against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure or destruction of your personal information.
