This Privacy Policy applies to Personal Information we collect on “AndersenWindows.com” and any other official Andersen websites and applications, including, but not limited to, the Andersen mobile site, Renewal by Andersen websites and applications, official sweepstakes entry forms, forms linked to this Privacy Policy, mobile applications, and other related applications linked to Andersen products and services (collectively, the “Sites”). This Privacy Policy is incorporated into Andersen’s “Site Terms and Conditions of Use.”

Privacy choices you make with third parties will not apply to our use of your Personal Information collected through our Sites. Also be aware that our Sites contain links to other sites not owned or controlled by Andersen, and we are not responsible for the privacy practices of those other sites. Andersen may use third-party services on the Sites to provide you with a better online experience or for other reasons. Third parties, including Facebook and other social media providers, may use cookies, web beacons, and other storage technologies to collect or receive information from the Sites and elsewhere on the Internet and use that information to provide measurement services and target ads. If you want to opt-out of the collection and use of information by third parties, you can obtain information about exercising such choice at https://www.aboutads.info/choices and https://www.youronlinechoices.eu.

Security

Andersen follows generally accepted industry standards to protect the Personal Information deemed to be under its control. Wherever your Personal Information may be held within Andersen or on its behalf, Andersen takes reasonable and appropriate steps to protect your Personal Information from unauthorized access, use or disclosure.
Access to and use of secure areas of our Sites is restricted to authorized users only with a business need to know the Personal Information accessible there. Unauthorized individuals attempting to access these areas of the Sites may be subject to adverse employment actions, criminal prosecution, or civil damages.
Andersen may from time to time use third parties to provide content or deliver services, such as, but not limited to e-commerce technology. Andersen follows generally accepted industry standards in selecting these third parties but does not have ultimate control over the security measures used by those third parties.
Moreover, no method of transmission over the Internet or storage of information is guaranteed secure. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
