Privacy Notices
This Privacy Policy may be supplemented or amended from time to time by “Privacy Notices” posted on our Sites.

What Personal Information Do We Collect Through Our Sites?
Information You Provide. We collect the Personal Information you knowingly provide (using your mouse and keyboard) when you use our Sites. The information we collect depends on how you use our Sites. If you communicate with us using the “Contact Us” feature, we collect the information you provide when you complete the “Contact Us” form. The data you provide will only be used to process your enquiry. We will retain the data you provide on the contact form until you request its deletion, revoke your consent for its storage, or the purpose for its storage no longer pertains (e.g. after fulfilling your request). Mandatory statutory provisions - in particular retention periods - remain unaffected.
Our Site distinguish between information we need to provide you with a particular product, service or to fulfill your request (“mandatory fields”), and information that although useful is optional with respect to that particular product, service or your request. Please be aware that if you do not provide us with mandatory fields we will not be able to provide you with the product or service or to fulfill your request.
Supplemental Information. From time to time, we may supplement the information you give us with information from business partners, social media, or other sources. For example, we may obtain additional information to validate your address or information about your business.
Information Sent to Us by Your Web Browser. We collect information that is sent to us automatically by your Web browser. This information typically includes your IP address, the identity of your Internet Service Provider, the name and version of your operating system, the name and version of your browser, the date and time of your visit, and the pages you visit. An “IP address” is a unique number that is automatically assigned to your computer when you connect to the Internet. It is used to identify your computer’s “location” in cyberspace, so that the information you request can be delivered to you. If you use a dial-up connection or a connection that assigns dynamic IP addresses, your computer will be assigned a new IP Address each time you connect to the Internet. If, however, your computer is permanently connected to the Internet using a static IP address, the IP address assigned to your computer will generally be the same each time you use your computer. Although it does not identify you by name, we treat your IP address as your Personal Information.
You should be aware that when you respond to an electronic communication you receive from us, for example, by opening an email, downloading images or clicking on a link in an electronic newsletter, your browser tells us that you (or someone using your email address) have done so. We use this information to improve our marketing efforts. In addition, we review our server logs – which contain visitors’ IP addresses – for security and fraud prevention purposes. If criminal activity is suspected, we may share our server logs and the Personal Information we have collected through this Site with the appropriate investigative authorities who could use that information to trace and identify individuals.
Device and Location Information. For digital app users, we may also collect information about the device you use to download the app, including, where available, the device's unique device identifiers, operating system, or mobile network information for system administration purposes. We may also automatically collect and store certain information in our server logs to get a better understanding of how people use the app, for system administration purposes, and to ensure we provide a good user experience and customer service. This type of information includes details about when, how, and what parts of the app you used, viewed and when you exited pages on the app as well as date or time stamps.
Cookies and Similar Technologies. A cookie is a small file sent by a Web site or digital app and stored on a user’s computer which enables the Web site or digital app to remember information about you and your preferences. We use "cookies" and other Web technologies in a number of ways. For example, we may use these technologies:
to collect information about the ways visitors use our Sites – which pages they visit, which links they use, and how long they stay on each page;
to support the features and functionality of our Sites – for example, to save you the trouble of reentering information already in our database or to prompt the settings you established on previous visits to our Sites;
to personalize your experience when you use our Sites;
to enable third parties (e.g. social media sites) to prepare online 'audiences' of its users who are either existing Rolweg customers or who share characteristics with Rolweg customers, subject always to that third party respecting your privacy settings;
to 'recognize' you as someone who has visited a Rolweg website before or interacted with Rolweg online, so we may serve you with relevant ads as you browse elsewhere online, including third party websites; and
to measure the success of our web or email advertising. For example, if you interact with an ad served by a third party on our behalf, we may receive non-identifying information, such as demographic information or general information about your interests.
The cookies we use can be classified into two categories:
“Session cookies” which are allocated to your computer for the duration of your visit of our Sites and which will be automatically removed from your computer when you close your browser.
“Persistent cookies” which expire after a reasonable period of time or until the user deletes the cookie.
Some of these uses may involve the use of “third party cookies”; that is, cookies that are set by software used by third parties, such as to carry out statistical analysis of page use, page interactions and paths through the site, or for the purposes of serving internet advertisements using an online advertising supplier. Third party cookies may collect information about your online activities over time and across different websites following your visit to our Sites.
Generally, the information collected using these Web technologies does not identify you by name. If, however, you have created a user identity, for example, by signing up to use a password-protected area on one of our Sites, we may link the information we collect using Web technologies to other information that identifies you personally.
If you do not wish to receive cookies, in addition to controlling your use via any choice mechanism offered by Rolweg (e.g. via a consent management platform), you may set your browser to reject cookies or to alert you when a cookie is placed on your computer. You may also delete our cookies as soon as you leave a Site. For more information on how to do so, please refer to your browser ‘help’ section or see http://www.allaboutcookies.org or http://www.aboutcookies.org. Although you are not required to accept our cookies when you visit our Sites, if you set your browser to reject cookies, you will not be able to use all of the features and functionality of our Sites.
Except as otherwise disclosed in this policy, we do not currently respond to web browser “do not track” signals or other mechanisms that indicate your preference for not having information collected over time and across different Web sites or digital apps following your visit to one of our Sites. If we do so in the future, we will describe how we do so in this Privacy Policy. Visit www.allaboutdnt.org to learn more.
