In addition, we may disclose your personal information for the following purposes: 

Sensitive Personal Information. We only use and disclose sensitive personal information for purposes disclosed herein.  We do not use or disclose sensitive personal information for purposes other than those authorized purposes, without your express consent, unless otherwise permitted or required by applicable law.    

Cross Border Transfers. Because we operate as part of a global business, the recipients of your information may be located outside the jurisdiction in which you are located. As such, when your personal information is used or stored outside of your jurisdiction, government or regulatory agencies, courts and law enforcement of that country may be able to obtain access to your personal information in accordance with the laws of that country.  The transfer of your information will be subject to the reasonable security measures described below under “HOW WE PROTECT YOUR INFORMATION”.  

Disclosure of Aggregated and/or De-Identified Information. We may aggregate, de-identify and/or anonymize your personal information, in accordance with applicable law, so that it can no longer be linked to you.  Subject to applicable laws, we may use and disclose aggregated, de-identified or anonymous information for any purpose at our sole discretion. 

5. How we protect your information

We will not use your personal information for any purpose other than the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, or as otherwise permitted or required by applicable law.  We use reasonable security measures, including physical, administrative, and technical safeguards to help us protect your information from loss or theft, and from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, copying or modification. These measures may include encryption, security certificates, access controls, information security technologies, policies, procedures, employee privacy and data security training, privacy impact assessments, and other information security measures to help protect your information. We also use contractual provisions and other measures to require our suppliers and service providers to whom we transfer or disclose personal information to, among other things, maintain appropriate security safeguards to protect such information from unauthorized access, use and disclosure. 

6. How long we keep your personal information

We will retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which we collected it or as otherwise required by applicable law.  To determine the appropriate retention period for personal information, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal information, the purposes for which we process your personal information and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.  If we no longer require your personal information for these purposes, we will delete, destroy or anonymize it in accordance with applicable law, unless we are required by law to keep it for a longer period.

7. Your rights if you are a California resident

If you are a resident of California, your right to submit certain requests relating to your personal information is described below.  Please note that these rights are subject to certain exceptions and certain of these rights are subject to verification mechanisms.  You may designate an authorized agent to make the requests below on your behalf; however, you will still need to verify your identity directly with us before your request can be processed.

Exercising Rights to Know, Correct and Delete, and Related Verification Measures1
You may submit a request regarding your rights to know, correct and/or delete by contact us by email at privacy@hamiltonbeach.com, by submitting our customer service form, or by phone at (800) 992-4616.

When you make a request to know, delete and/or correct, to help protect your privacy and maintain security, we will take steps to verify your identity.  Our verification procedure may differ depending on whether you have an account with us or not and the request you are making.  The following generally describes the verification processes we use:

If there is no reasonable method by which we can verify your identity, we will state so in response, including an explanation of why we have no reasonable method to verify your identity. 

If you use an authorized agent to submit a request to know, delete or correct, we may require the authorized agent to provide proof that you gave the agent signed permission to submit the request. We may also require you to do either of the following: (a) verify your own identity directly with us; or (b) directly confirm with us that you provided the authorized agent permission to submit the request.  This requirement does not apply if you have provided the authorized agent with power of attorney pursuant to California Probate Code sections 4121 to 4130. 

We will respond to requests to know, requests to delete and / or delete no later than 45 calendar days.  If we cannot verify your request within 45 days, we may deny your request.  If necessary, we may take up to an additional 45 days to respond to your request but in such an event will provide you a notice and an explanation of the reason that we will take more than 45 days to respond to your request.    

Right to Opt-Out of the Sale or Sharing of Your Personal Information.
You may opt-out of the sale or sharing of your personal information, described above, by submitting our customer service form. You can also exercise your right to opt-out by using a browser that supports an opt-out preference signal (also known as a Global Privacy Control (GPC)).  If you choose to use this signal, you will need to turn it on for each browser you use.    

The Company does not sell or share personal information about California consumers if we have actual knowledge that the consumer is younger than 16 years old.

Right to Non-Discrimination for the Exercise of Your Privacy Rights
If you choose to exercise any of the privacy rights conferred by the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020, you also have the right not to receive discriminatory treatment by us.  This means that, consistent with California law, we will not deny providing our services to you, charge you different prices or provide a different level or quality of service to you unless those differences are related to the value of your personal information.  

8. Your rights if you are a resident of a state other than California

Depending on your state of residency, you may have certain rights related to your personal information.  California residents should refer to the “YOUR RIGHTS IF YOU ARE A CALIFORNIA RESIDENT” section above and for a description of California specific rights and Nevada residents should refer to the “Nevada Privacy Notice” below.   

If you are a resident of Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, Virginia, Texas, Oregon, Florida, or Montana (except as noted below), you may have, or may soon have, certain additional rights set forth below.  The rights of the residents of the states of Colorado, Connecticut, Utah and Virginia are currently in effect.  The rights of the residents of the states of Florida, Oregon and Texas go into effect on July 1, 2024, and the rights of the residents of the state of Montana go into effect on October 1, 2024. 

Please note that these rights are subject to certain exceptions and certain of these rights are subject to verification mechanisms.

The Right to Know: You have the right to know whether we are processing your personal information, and, if you are a resident of Oregon, the categories of your personal information we have processed and the specific third parties to which we have disclosed it. 

The Right of Access: You have the right to access your personal information, and to obtain a copy of it in a readily usable format, if feasible.

The Right to Correct Inaccuracies: You may request that inaccuracies in your personal information be corrected.  Utah law does not provide for this right.

The Right to Delete: You have the right to request that your personal information be deleted, except in cases where retention is required by law or contractual obligation. 

The Right to Data Portability: You have the right to obtain a copy of your data in a portable and, if feasible, readily usable format.

The Right to Opt-Out: You may elect to prevent your personal information from being:  

  1. Used in targeted advertising; 
  2. Sold;  
  3. *Used for profiling purposes that may produce legal or similarly significant effects. 

* Utah law does not provide for this right.

The Right to Non-Discrimination for Exercising Your Rights: If you choose to exercise any of your rights, you have the right to not receive discriminatory treatment by us. 

Rights Regarding Sensitive Personal Information: In connection with your sensitive personal information: (a) if you are a resident of Utah or Oregon, we will not process that information without first presenting you with clear notice and an opportunity to opt out of the processing; and (b) if you are a resident of Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Montana, Texas or Virginia, we will not process sensitive personal information without obtaining your consent.  You have the right to withdraw your previous consent and opt out of further processing of your sensitive personal information.   

Furthermore, if we have actual knowledge that you are 13 years of age and not older than 16 years of age, we will not without your consent process your personal information for the purposes of targeted advertising, profiling in furtherance of decisions that produce legal effects or effects of similar significance or selling your personal information.

You may submit a request email at privacy@hamiltonbeach.com, by submitting our customer service form, or by phone at (800) 992-4616. When you make a request, to help protect your privacy and maintain security, we will take steps to verify your identity.  Our verification procedure may differ depending on whether you have an account with us or not and the request you are making.  These are described above in “Exercising Rights to Know, Correct and Delete, and Related Verification Measures”.

Information requests under “Right of Access” and “Right to Data Portability” will be transmitted securely. If we cannot fulfill your request, we will notify you of that decision and the reasons why within 45 days. At that point if you believe our decision was in error, you may have the right to submit an appeal using the method(s) above.  If the result is the same, you can also seek assistance and/or redress from your state attorney general. 

9. Nevada Privacy Notice

Nevada law provides that Nevada residents may opt-out of the “sale” of “covered information” to third parties, including but not limited to name, address, social security number, and online service activity.  Our uses of your personal information are not sales under Nevada law, so no opt-out is required. 

10. Personal information of Mexican residents

Under Mexican privacy laws (“Mexican Privacy Laws”), the Company is a controller of information that the Company receives. The Company does not proactively obtain or collect data considered sensitive under Mexican Privacy Laws, such as race, religion, health information, sexual preference or political opinion.  We ask that you do not provide information of this nature to the Company.  In the event that you voluntarily provide us with sensitive information, we will use such information only to the extent that it is necessary to provide the service you requested.  The Company stores, processes and transfers your information for the purposes, in the manners and using the methods described in this Privacy Policy. We retain your information for as long as we have a relationship with you and for a period after the relationship has ended.  

When determining how long to keep your personal information after our relationship with you has ended, we take into account how long we need to retain the information to fulfill the purposes described above and to comply with local laws and regulations.  

We may transfer, process and store your personal information outside of your home country, including in the   United States and Canada. We have put in place appropriate safeguards for such transfers (such as standard contractual clauses and agreements) in accordance with Mexican Privacy Laws.  

Some of the processing we conduct will involve making decisions about you based on automated processing of your personal information. For example, we may conduct profiling activities to select personalized offers or recommendations for you based on your browsing history or your purchase of Company products. Where these decisions are based solely on our automated processing of your personal data, these types of decisions will not have legal or similar effects on you, but you can still contact us for further information and to object to this use of your personal information.  

Mexican Privacy Laws set the rules on when we can send direct marketing communications to you via email, SMS or post. In some circumstances we are required to obtain your affirmative consent; however, to the extent that this Privacy Policy is not delivered directly or personally to you, you will have a period of five days to express your refusal for the processing of your personal data for purposes other than those that are necessary and give rise to the legal relationship that exists between us. If you do not express your refusal for the processing of your data in accordance with the above, it will be understood that you have given your consent for the processing of such data.  

You have certain rights regarding your personal information. These rights include the rights to: access your personal information; rectify the personal information we hold about you; cancel and delete your personal information; object to our use of your personal information; lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority; and withdraw any consent you have given to use your personal information. If you wish to exercise any of the rights that you may have, please contact us by email at privacy@hamiltonbeach.com, by submitting our customer service form, or or by phone at (800) 992-4616. We may confirm: (i) the information required for your identification as well as the documents needed to be sent alongside your request; (ii) the time periods in which you will receive an answer to your request; (iii) how you should file your request, including the forms that you may use to file your request, if any, and; (iv) the form or means in which we will deliver you the information.
