Additional Information About Our Sites:

Visiting our Sites:

In general, you can visit our Sites without telling us who you are or providing us with your business information.  However, we collect the IP (Internet protocol) addresses of all visitors to our Sites and other related information such as page requests, browser type, operating system, and average time spent on our Sites.  We use this information to monitor and improve our Sites.

Cookies:

Our Sites use a technology called “cookies”.  A cookie is a tiny element of data that our Sites and our third‑party technology providers can send to your browser, which may then be stored on your hard drive so we can recognize you when you return.  All pages on our Sites where you are prompted to log in or that are customizable require that you accept cookies.  If you have registered with our Sites, these cookies:  (1) may let us know who you are, (2) are necessary to access your account information (stored on our computers) in order to deliver products and personalized services, and (3) will provide us and our service providers with information that we will use to personalize our Sites in accordance with your preferences.  Cookies are also required to optimize your shopping experience in that they allow you to add multiple items to your shopping basket before checking out and help us to recommend relevant products to you.  We also use cookies set by third‑party partners to deliver you targeted advertisements across the Internet.  You may set your web browser to notify you when you receive a cookie.  However, should you decide not to accept cookies from our Sites, you will limit the functionality we can provide when you visit our Sites.

Third‑Party Links:

Our Sites may include links to the websites of our business partners, vendors, and advertisers.  HD Supply provides links to third‑party websites as a convenience to the user.  The inclusion of any link does not imply HD Supply’s endorsement of any other company, its websites, or its products and/or services.  These linked websites have separate and independent terms of use and privacy policies, which we recommend you read carefully.  We have no control over such websites and therefore have no responsibility or liability for the manner in which the organizations that operate such linked websites may collect, use, or disclose and otherwise treat your information.

Tracer Tags:

Our Sites may also use a technology called “tracer tags”.  These may also be referred to as “clear GIFs” or “web beacons”.  This technology allows us and our third‑party technology providers to understand which pages you visit on our Sites.  These tracer tags are used to help us optimize and tailor our Sites for you and other future website visitors.

Google Analytics™:

We use automated technologies and applications, such as Google Analytics, to evaluate usage of our Sites.  We also may use other analytic means to evaluate our Sites and services.  We use these tools to help us improve the Sites, performance, and user experiences.  These entities may use cookies and other tracking technologies to perform their services.  To learn how Google Analytics collects and processes data, please visit:  http://www.google.com/analytics/learn/privacy.html.

How We Respond to Do Not Track (DNT) Settings:

Some web browsers (including Safari^®, Internet Explorer^®, Firefox^® and Chrome^®) incorporate a “Do Not Track” (“DNT”) or similar feature.  At the present time, the Sites do not respond to DNT signals.

Data Retention:

We retain your information as long as reasonably necessary for the respective purpose.  In determining the criteria by which to retain or dispose of your information, we consider the type, sensitivity, context, and purpose of collecting the information.  HD Supply may additionally delete your information in response to a valid data subject request, as described below.

Security of Your Information:

We maintain administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect against unauthorized access, use, modification, and disclosure of your information in our custody and control.  No data, on the Internet or otherwise, can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.  While we strive to protect your information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure, HD Supply cannot and does not ensure or warrant the security of your information.

Children’s Privacy:

HD Supply does not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 6.

California Residents:

If you are a California resident, your information may be covered by the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”).  The below disclosures apply to the extent the CCPA applies to your data, subject to any applicable exemptions.

“Personal Information” We Collect:

The categories of “personal information,” as defined in the CCPA, that we collect include:

HD Supply may obtain, use, and share these data categories as detailed in the “Information We Collect,” “How We Use Your Information,” and “Sharing Your Information” sections of this Privacy Notice, above.

Some of the personal information we collect and process may qualify as “sensitive information” under the CCPA.  Where we collect your sensitive information, we only process this information for limited purposes consistent with Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.121(a).

“Sales” and “Sharing” of Personal Information:

We may share personal information with third parties for targeted advertising purposes.  Under the CCPA, these practices may be considered “sales” or “sharing” of data and you have the opportunity to opt out of these practices by selecting that option on our website (hdsupplysolutions.com) by clicking on the link in the footer entitled “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” and following the instructions to opt‑out.

Your California Privacy Rights:

You may have the following rights with respect to your personal information under the CCPA:

(i) Right to Know About Personal Information Collected, Disclosed, or Sold:  You may have the right to request that we provide certain information to you about our collection and use of your personal information over the past twelve (12) months.  Specifically, you may have the right to request disclosure of:

• • The specific pieces of personal information we collected about you;
• • The categories of personal information we collected about you;
• • The categories of sources from which personal information was collected;
• • Our business or commercial purpose for collecting or disclosing personal information; and
• • The categories of third parties with whom we shared personal information.

(iv) Right to Non‑Discrimination for the Exercise of a Consumer’s Privacy Rights:  We will not unlawfully discriminate against you for exercising any of your applicable privacy rights.

(v) Exercising Your California Privacy Rights:  To request to exercise your CCPA rights described above, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us by using the information in the “Contact Us” section below.  Only you or your “authorized agent,” as defined in the CCPA, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal information.

Your verifiable consumer request must: (i) provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify that you are the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative; and (ii) describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.  We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal information relates to you.  We will use personal information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.  Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us.

(vi) Response Timing and Format:  We will make our best effort to respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty‑five (45) days of its receipt.  If we require more time (up to ninety (90) days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing.  Within ten (10) days of receiving the request, we will confirm receipt and provide information about its verification and processing of the request.  HD Supply will maintain records of consumer requests made pursuant to the CCPA as well as our response to said requests for a period of at least twenty‑four (24) months.

(vii) Your Rights Under “Shine the Light”:  In addition to your rights under the CCPA, California Civil Code Section 1798.83 permits California residents to request information regarding our disclosure, if any, of their personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes.  If this applies, you may obtain the categories of personal information shared and the names and addresses of all third parties that received personal information for their direct marketing purposes during the immediately prior calendar year.  You may submit this request using the information in the “Contact Us” section below.
