This Privacy Policy describes the types of information Janus International Group, LLC and its U.S. affiliates ("Janus", "JIG", "we", "us", or "our") may collect from you or that you may provide when you visit the websites that we own, operate, or use (each a "Site") and our practices for collecting, using, maintaining, protecting, and disclosing that information. This Privacy Policy does not apply to information collected by any third party, including through any application or content (including advertising) that may link to or be accessible from or through the Sites.
By accessing or using the Sites, you confirm that you have read, understand and acknowledge the terms of this Privacy Policy, and agree to our Terms of Use (available at https://www.janusintl.com/termsofuse) (the "Terms"). Further, by accessing or using the Sites, you acknowledge that you accept the practices and policies described in this Privacy Policy (and as updated from time to time), and you hereby consent that we may collect, use, and share your information as described herein. Any capitalized terms we use in this Privacy Policy without defining them have the definitions given to them in the Terms.
Scope
This Privacy Policy applies to personal information that Janus receives during its business operations as a "data controller," which means we determine the purpose and means of processing such personal information. In some circumstances, we may serve as a " data processor ," which means we will process personal information for, or on the behalf of, a data controller. When Janus serves as a "data processor," we will process personal information for and on the behalf of our customers and clients (i.e., the data controllers) in accordance with our data processing agreement or similar data protection terms and not this Privacy Policy.
Information We Collect
For this Privacy Policy the definition of "Personal Data" means any information that, alone or in conjunction with other information or data, identifies or is linked to a particular individual or household and that is subject to, or otherwise afforded protection under, a data protection law, statute, or regulation. Personal Data does not include your personally identifiable information that has been deidentified, pseudonymized, anonymized, aggregated, and/or otherwise processed so as to be unidentifiable in such a way that the data can no longer be attributed to a specific individual (by reasonable means) without the use of additional information, and where such additional information is kept separate and under adequate security to prevent unauthorized re-identification of a specific individual such that one could not, using reasonable efforts, link such information back to a specific individual (the foregoing in this sentence being referred to as "De-Identified Personal Data").
Personal Data we collect from our Sites includes, but is not limited to:
Other related data we may collect may include, but is not limited to:
Information Collected Automatically
We and our third-party service providers, such as advertising and analytics providers, use cookies, web beacons and other data technologies to receive and store certain types of information when you interact with us through your computer or mobile device. Using these technologies helps us recognize you, customize your experience and make relevant marketing messages. Here are the types of information we collect:
Information Received from Customers Through Our Services
We receive data from our customers through our storage facility-related services. We process this data pursuant to a contract in place with our customers. The use of information processed through these services shall be limited to the purpose of providing the service for which the customer has engaged Janus. We process Personal Data at the direction of our customer and we generally have no direct relationship to the tenants whose Personal Data we receive on behalf of our customers. See below about your choices and access rights related to this data.
Information Received From the Noke® Smart Entry Application
We receive data from our customers' employees, tenants, and certain company managers who use our Noke® Smart Entry app. We process this data pursuant to a data processing agreement or other contract in place with our customers. The use of information processed through our service shall be limited to the purpose of providing the service for which the customer has engaged Janus. See below about your choices and access rights related to this data.
Use of Cookies
Our Sites use "cookies" (a small text file sent by your computer each time you visit our Site) or similar technologies to record log data. Many browsers default to accepting cookies. You may be able to change this setting in your browser and you can also clear your cookies. If you do, you may lose some functionality of our Sites. Check your browser's help function to learn more about your cookie setting options. For more information, please see our Cookie Policy at https://www.janusintl.com/cookiepolicy.
Site Monitoring
Please be aware that we use cookies and other tracking technologies within the Sites to monitor and record any and all activities and communications to, from, and on, the Sites in order to safeguard, improve, and analyze usage of, the Sites, and for the other purposes listed in this Privacy Policy. For the avoidance of doubt, you hereby acknowledge, agree, and consent to, such monitoring and recording.
Audio and Visual Materials
Our Sites may, from time to time, display live or prerecorded videos or similar audio-visual materials ("Videos"). We may collect personal information with respect to you requesting access to, and/or accessing, such Videos, and we may disclose such personal information to third parties, including to our third-party service providers through the use of cookies. By requesting access to, or accessing, such Videos, you hereby agree to our Video Information Disclosure Consent Form at https://www.janusintl.com/videoconsent. The provision of Videos on our Site is not an admission by Janus and it shall not otherwise be interpreted, in any form or manner, to mean that Janus is a "video tape service provider" for purposes of the Video Privacy Protection Act (codified as amended at 18 U.S. Code § 2710) (the "VPPA") or that we are otherwise subject to the VPPA.
Use of Personal Data
We may use your Personal Data as described below:
Marketing and Communications:
Deliver the product/service and customer support:
Business Purposes:
Additional Purposes:
Sharing and Disclosure
We do not share your Personal Data with others except as indicated within this Privacy Policy or when we inform you and give you an opportunity to opt out of having your Personal Data shared.
We share your Personal Data in the following ways:
Intra-Group. We may share your Personal Data with our parent company, and our affiliates, and subsidiaries.
With third party service providers, agents, or contractors.We use other companies, agents or contractors ("Service Providers") to perform services on our behalf or to assist us with providing services to you. For example, we may engage Service Providers to process credit card transactions or other payment methods, or, we may engage Service Providers to provide services such as marketing, advertising, communications, infrastructure and IT services, to provide customer service, to collect debts, and to analyze and enhance data (including data about users' interactions with our service). These Service Providers may have access to your personal or other information in order to provide these functions. In addition, some of the information we request may be collected by third party providers on our behalf. We do not authorize them to use or disclose your personal information except in connection with providing their services.
Analytics.Specifically, for analytics providers, we use Google Analytics which is a web analytics service offered by Google that tracks and reports website traffic. Google uses the data collected to track and monitor the use of our Service. This data is shared with other Google services. Google may use the collected data to contextualize and personalize the ads of its own advertising network.
You can opt-out of having made your activity on the Site available to Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on. The add-on prevents the Google Analytics JavaScript (ga.js, analytics.js, and dc.js) from sharing information with Google Analytics about visits activity. For more information on the privacy practices of Google, please visit the Google Privacy & Terms web page: http://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/. Google also recommends installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, available at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout, for your web browser. Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on provides visitors with the ability to prevent their data from being collected and used by Google Analytics.
Advertising.We may use third-party Service Providers to show advertisements, which may include targeted advertisements on a third-party Site after you have visited our website. We and the third-party service providers use cookies to inform, optimize, measure performance serve ads based on your previous visits to our Site. Any tracking that a third party performs is subject to their own privacy notice.
Some web browsers may transmit "do-not-track" signals to the website with which the user communicates. Because of differences in how web browsers incorporate and activate this feature, it is not always clear whether users intend for these signals to be transmitted, or whether they are even aware of them. Please note that unless otherwise required by law, at this time we do not recognize automated browser signals regarding tracking mechanisms, which may include "do not track" instructions.
To Comply with Legal Process or To Protect Janus. Except as otherwise described in this Privacy Policy, we will not disclose your Personal Data to any third party unless required to do so by law, court order, legal process, or subpoena, including to respond to any government or regulatory request, or if we believe that such action is necessary to (a) comply with the law, comply with legal process served on us or our affiliates, subsidiaries, contracted vendors, or affinity partners, or investigate, prevent, or take action regarding suspected or actual illegal activities; (b) enforce our Terms (including for billing and collection purposes); (c) take precautions against liability; (d) investigate and defend ourselves against any third-party claims or allegations; (e) assist government enforcement agencies or to meet national security requirements; (f) to protect the security or integrity of our Sites, our services, or any software we provide related thereto; or, (g) exercise or protect the rights, property, or personal safety of us, our users or others.
We will attempt to notify you about these requests unless: (i) providing notice is prohibited by the legal process itself, by court order, or by applicable law, or (ii) we believe that providing notice would be futile, ineffective, create a risk of injury or bodily harm to an individual or group, or create or increase a risk of fraud upon us, our users, our Sites, or our services. In instances where we comply with legal requests without notice for these reasons, we will attempt to notify that user about the request after the fact if we determine in good faith that we are no longer legally prohibited from doing so and that no risk scenarios described in this paragraph apply.
Storing your Personal Data/Transfer of Data
This Site is operated in the United States. If you are located in another jurisdiction, please know that your information will be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States. By using the Sites and providing us with information, you consent to this transfer, processing and storage of your information in the United States. It is important to note that the privacy laws in the United States may be more, or less, comprehensive as those in other countries such as the European Union or Canada. Our Service Providers use appropriate safeguards to transfer your Personal Data to the United States.
Third party links
As a resource to you, we may have links on our Site to other websites that we do not operate. Our Privacy Policy does not apply to such third-party websites or organizations. If you click on a third-party link, you will be taken directly to that website which is governed by its own privacy notice. We strongly encourage you to read that privacy notice. We do not control that website and assume no responsibility for the content, policies or its practices.
Data Retention
The time periods for which we retain your Personal Data depend on the purposes for which we use it. We will keep your Personal Data for as long as your account is active, or as long as you are a registered account holder or user of our Site or Mobile App or for as long as we have another business purpose to do so and, thereafter, for no longer than is required or permitted by law, or our records retention policy, reasonably necessary for internal reporting and reconciliation purposes, or to provide you with feedback or information you might request. This period of retention is subject to our review and alteration.
Following termination or deactivation of your account, we may retain your profile information and all information posted to public areas of the Site. Following termination or deactivation of your account, we may retain your Personal Data and other data, but will maintain it as confidential according to the Terms, this Privacy Policy, and as required by applicable law. We have the right to delete all of your Personal Data and other data after termination of your account without notice to you. We may retain De-Identified Personal Information for as long as we choose.

Your Virginia Privacy Rights
If you are a Virginia resident, Virginia law may provide you with additional rights regarding our use of your personal information.
Data Privacy Rights. Pursuant to the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act, Virginia residents are entitled to certain data privacy rights:
Submit a Privacy Request. To submit a privacy request, you may contact us using the "Contacting Us" section below.
Privacy Request Verification Process. If you make any request related to your personal information, we will ascertain your identity (and the identity of the authorized agent, to the extent applicable) to the degree of certainty required or permitted under the law before addressing your request. In particular, before granting you access to, erasing, or correcting, specific pieces or categories of personal information or otherwise responding to your request, we will, to the extent required or permitted by law, (i) require you (or your authorized agent) to verify your request via email, (ii) request certain contact information or government identifiers, and (iii) match at least two pieces of such personal information with data that we have previously collected from you.

Opt-Out Rights / The Sale of Personal Information. Virginia residents have the right to opt out of the "sale" of their personal information. However, Janus does not sell your personal information to third parties for monetary or valuable consideration, and therefore we do not provide opt-out request processes for the sale of personal information (because we do not undertake such activities).
Opt-Out Rights / Targeted Advertising. Virginia residents have the right to opt out of having their personal information used for targeted advertising purposes. We use third-party analytical and targeted advertising features on our Site and similar web tools provided by our marketing partners. To opt out of this sharing of your personal information in these circumstances, please click on the cookie management tool (sometimes visible as a "Your Privacy Choices" or a "Do Not Sell/Share My Personal Information" link on the footer of the Site) to set your cookie preferences.
Opt-Out Rights / Profiling. Virginia residents have the right to opt out of having their personal information used for profiling in furtherance of decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects. However, Janus does not engage in such activities.

Moreover, we are not responsible for the security of personal information you transmit to the Sites and/or the services over networks that we do not control, including the internet and wireless networks, and you provide us with any personal information and data at your own risk.

Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a username and password to access our Sites or services, you are responsible for maintaining the security and confidentiality of those credentials and not revealing them to others. You must contact us immediately (and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours) if you have reason to believe that your username or password to our Sites has been compromised.

Sensitive Data
We request that you do not send us any sensitive data such as social security or national identification numbers, information related to racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs, health data, biometrics or genetic, criminal background or trade union membership information.
