PRIVACY POLICY

This Privacy Policy explains the privacy and security practices for any website, application, mobile browser, social media account, or service operated by Mohawk Industries, Inc., or any of its U.S. subsidiaries, divisions, affiliates, or related companies (“Mohawk”, “we”, “us”, “our” as appropriate) that links to this Privacy Policy (collectively, our “sites”), and it applies to any individual that uses or accesses any site that provides this Privacy Policy.

We are the world’s largest flooring company with flooring options in over 30 categories. This policy applies to our corporate operations and our businesses that are headquartered in the United States. Our corporate affiliates located outside of the United States maintain their own privacy policies that are subject to local law. Please refer to the policy of the local business whenever you are engaging with a Mohawk affiliate that is headquartered outside of the United States. We want you to understand the terms and conditions surrounding our collection, use, sharing, storage, and retention of your personal information through the sites. By visiting any site, you acknowledge that you accept the practices and policies outlined in this Privacy Policy.

INFORMATION COLLECTION

WHAT TYPES OF INFORMATION WE COLLECT

The types of personal information we may obtain include:

Please note that this policy does not apply to websites, services or practices of companies that we do not own or control.

Cookies enable us to offer secure pages to you without asking you to sign in repeatedly. Most browsers allow you to control cookies, including whether or not to accept them and how to remove them. You may set most browsers to notify you if you receive a cookie, or you may choose to block cookies with your browser, and you can also set how you wish the browser to delete cookies. Disabling cookies may affect the functionality of a site or may require that you reenter data each time you visit a site, however.

Web beacons and other technologies like pixels and SDKs allow us and our authorized third parties to monitor and collect certain information about users of the sites, web-based documents, e-mail messages or other communications, such as the type of browser requesting the web beacon, the device identifier of the device that the web beacon is sent to and the time the web beacon was viewed.

We may transfer personal information as an asset in connection with a proposed or actual merger or sale (including any transfers made as part of an insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding) involving all or part of our business or as part of a corporate reorganization, stock sale or other change in control.

HOW WE SECURE INFORMATION

We take precautions to protect personal information. We have in place a function that is responsible for implementing information security. Please note, however, that third parties may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or communications sent via the Internet. Therefore, although we work to protect your privacy, we cannot promise, and you should not expect, that personal information or communications you transmit via the Internet are guaranteed to remain secure.

HOW WE RETAIN INFORMATION

We retain your information for the length of time needed to carry out the purposes described in this Privacy Policy and in accordance with our records retention schedule. Our retention schedule for information will vary based upon the nature of the data and the purposes for which it was collected, as well as any applicable laws, rules, or regulations that require us to retain information for specific time periods. In addition, we may retain information to comply with other legal requirements or as is otherwise described in this Privacy Policy. We regularly review our retention schedules for compliance purposes.

ONLINE ADVERTISING

Advertisements appearing on the sites may be delivered to you by us or by a third party. We work with third party companies for purposes of advertising online. These purposes may include serving advertisements, including our own, across the various platforms across the Internet; tracking and categorizing your activity and interests over time on our sites and mobile applications and on third party websites and mobile applications; and identifying the different device(s) you use to access the sites and mobile applications. We share information with these companies, and these companies may collect information—including automatically collected information when you use our sites or mobile applications—through the methods described in the “Information Collection” section above. These third party companies also may possess or obtain information about you from other sources, including, for example, your interactions directly with the third party companies; with other websites or mobile applications, with companies that the third party companies work with, or from your interactions with advertisements the third party companies help to display to you. The information that these companies collect or that we share may be used for various purposes, including, for example, to customize or personalize the advertisements that are displayed to you. We do not have access to or control of the information that may be collected by these third parties, nor the tracking or categorization technologies that may be placed by the third party advertising servers, all of which are subject to the privacy policies of those various third parties. Please consult the applicable privacy policy before providing any personal information.

To opt-out of online behavioral advertising, you can use the opt-out tools provided by the Network Advertising Alliance and the Digital Advertising Alliance.

SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS

If you choose to connect to our sites using a social networking or similar service, such as Instagram, Pinterest, Twitter, Google or Facebook, we may receive and store authentication information from that service to enable you to log in. We may also receive other information that you may choose to share when you connect or are connected with these services. For example, if you use functionalities, like plugins or widgets or other available tools from others websites, platforms or networks in connection with our sites, including mobile applications to log into an account or to share content and images (for example, purchases or inspirations) and other content with others on social media, we will collect the information that you share with us, or that those social media platforms or networks share with us. Our use of that information is governed by this Privacy Policy. In addition, these services may collect information, such as the web pages you visited and IP addresses, and may set cookies to enable features to function properly. We are not responsible for the security or privacy of any information collected by these third parties. Your use of these service features is governed by the policies of the social media platform that provides them. Please review the privacy settings and available options on the various social media platforms to understand your choices about the information that is collected, shared, and protected on each social media platform. If you do not want information shared from or with your social media account or other users of a social media service, please do not connect your social media account with your account, participate in social sharing on the sites or otherwise share information via the functionalities.

INTERNATIONAL CUSTOMERS

We store your information in the United States. In addition, we may use or process your information in the United States or any other country in which we or our service providers operate. Because we operate with a technical infrastructure that is located in the United States, we may need to transfer your personal information to the United States for storage and as may be otherwise necessary, consistent with the terms of this Privacy Policy. Our use and storage of your information outside of the country in which you reside may subject your information to laws of other jurisdictions that may be different from the laws of the country in which you reside. You may choose not to access any site and may, with respect to your information, choose to exercise your rights under applicable data protection laws.

OPTING OUT OF CERTAIN CONTACT

We may contact you if you have opted in to receive messages from us. If you no longer wish to receive messages, you may opt out of receiving these communications by changing your notification settings in your account or by opting out of a mobile messaging campaign, by unsubscribing via the opt-out link included in each e-mail, by otherwise following the instructions in the applicable technology. You may also manage some third party advertising preferences through third party opt-out and do-not-call programs. In addition, you may choose not to provide your location to us in connection with your use of our mobile applications by declining any prompt requesting location information and by customizing your mobile device settings to prevent sharing of location information.
