Thank you for visiting the Harvey Bearings website and reviewing our privacy policy (hereinafter the Policy).

1. Objectives of the privacy policy

   Privacy as well as the protection of personal information are essential to us, which is why, through this Policy, we intend to protect it in accordance with applicable laws.

   In order to ensure this protection, Harvey Bearings undertakes to collect, process and share personally identifiable information only with the consent of the individual, unless permitted or required by law, in which case your consent will not be required.

   The purpose of the Policy is to inform users of why and how Harvey Bearings, or anyone acting on its behalf, will collect and use their personal information. It is intended to be in plain language to ensure informed consent from users.

   For the purposes of this Policy, “personal information” means any information about an identifiable or personally identifiable individual. Wherever possible, we will anonymize, pseudonymize and/or aggregate this so that it no longer identifies an individual.

2. Entry into force

   This Policy applies as of 09/30/24.

3. How we collect consent

   We are committed to collecting consent prior to collecting personal information from an individual. Consent may be express or implied and may be provided directly by the individual or by his or her authorized representative.

   We prefer to obtain express consent, whether verbally, electronically or in writing. However, implied consent can be reasonably inferred from a person's action or inaction. For example, providing a name and address to receive a publication, or a name and telephone number to obtain an answer to a question, is considered implied consent to the collection of information containing personal information. In determining the appropriate type of consent, we take into account the sensitivity of the personal information involved, the purposes for which it is collected, and the reasonable expectations of a similarly situated individual.

   .

   If we want to use personal information for a new purpose, we will describe the intended use and ask for consent again.

   It is not always possible, particularly in the context of a government request, to obtain an individual's consent to collect, use or disclose his or her personal information. We undertake never to disclose such information, other than in accordance with this Policy, except as required or permitted by law.

7. The treatment processes used

   Harvey Bearings attaches the utmost importance to the security of your personal information and undertakes to treat it in accordance with industry standards and norms, and solely for the purposes for which it is collected, as described in this policy or in a specific notice to that effect. However, given the inherent security limitations of transmission via the Internet, it is impossible to safeguard your personal information absolutely. Information transmitted to us is therefore ultimately at the user's own risk.

8. Access to and control of personal information

   Harvey Bearings ensures that all personal information in its possession is as accurate, current and complete as is necessary for the purposes for which it is to be used.

   You have the right to request access to your personal information for verification purposes and to request a correction if your personal information is inaccurate. If you believe that your personal information is inaccurate, or if you wish to access your personal information, you may make a request using the contact information provided at the end of this Policy.

   To the best of our ability, we will provide you with timely access to your personal information. However, for security reasons, we may need to verify your identity.

   There may be circumstances where we will not be able to provide you with access to your personal information. For example, where access may lead to the disclosure of another person's personal information and that person refuses to consent to the disclosure, or where legal restrictions apply. If such a situation arises, we will advise you of the reason why we cannot provide you with access to your personal information.

   If your request concerns data appearing on third-party web pages or platforms, please contact these third parties directly.

9. Sharing and reason for sharing personal information with third parties

   • For storage on cloud servers, in which case personal information may be transferred to third-party jurisdictions. Please note that we only retain the services of reputable companies with privacy policies.
   • For external processing purposes: We transfer personal information to other companies or trusted persons who process it on our behalf, on our instructions, in accordance with this Privacy Policy, with a level of data security at least equivalent to our own and in compliance with any other appropriate security and confidentiality measures.
