Do We Sell Your Information?

We do NOT and will not sell or share your personal information in exchange for monetary consideration. However, we may sell or share some of your information to third parties for other valuable consideration, as noted in the table above.

We may sell or share your personal information for the following business or commercial purposes:

1. For marketing activities, including targeting and retargeting our ads and our affiliates’ ads based on your activity on our websites
2. To improve user experience
3. To understand the demographics of our website users and receive reports on website traffic

Other than these exceptions, we do not and will not disclose your personal information to any third party in exchange for monetary or other valuable consideration or share your personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.

Notice of Right to Opt-Out of the Selling and Sharing of Your Information

Depending on the state where you reside, you may have the right to tell us NOT to sell or share your personal information. You have the full and free right to opt-out of our disclosure of your personal information to any third parties where the disclosure constitutes “selling” or “sharing” as defines by specific state laws. You may exercise your right to opt-out without fear of discrimination for doing so. To opt-out of our selling and sharing of your information, meaning we will not disclose your information to third parties for any monetary or other valuable consideration, you can do any of the following: Click HERE to be taken to an online opt-out submission form.

• You can use a Global Privacy Controls (GPC) signal. Welbilt will process opt-out preferences from GPC signals, which are in formats commonly used and recognized by businesses, such as an HTTP field header, as requests to opt-out of sale or sharing. The GPC signal opt-out will only apply to the browser you are using on your device; it will not apply to other browsers and/or devices to which GPCs are not activated or to offline sales.

You can have an authorized agent submit a request on your behalf. To submit an opt-out through use of an authorized agent, you must provide that agent with written permission signed by you to submit an opt-out on your behalf, except when using an opt-out preference signal. We maintain the right to deny any request from an authorized agent that does not submit sufficient proof that they have been authorized by you to act on your behalf.

A request to opt-out need not be a verifiable consumer request. However, we may deny a request to opt-out if we have a good faith, reasonable, and documented belief that a request to opt-out is fraudulent. If we deny your request to opt-out, we shall inform you of our decision not to comply and provide an explanation as to why we believe the request is fraudulent.

Opt-Out Preference Signals

Opt-out preference signals provide consumers with a simple and easy-to-use method by which to exercise the right to opt-out of the selling and sharing of their information. Global Privacy Controls (GPC) or Universal Opt-Out Mechanism (UOOM) are user-enabled opt-out preference signals which can communicate a user’s “Do Not Sell or Share” request on behalf of the person or device. We will process opt-out preferences from GPC and UOOM signals which are in formats commonly used and recognized by businesses, such as an HTTP field header. We will treat a consumer’s use of GPCs or UOOMs as a valid request to opt-out of the selling and sharing of information for that browser. We currently do not connect browser use to particular consumers and, as such, you will need to use GPCs or UOOMs on all browsers in which you access our website and use our opt-out form to opt-out of offline sales.
 

Do Not Track (DNT) is a privacy preference that users can set if they do not want web services to collect information about their online activity. We do not respond to DNT signals or other mechanisms (with the exception of GPCs and UOOMs) that provide a choice regarding the collection of personal information about activities over time and across different websites or online services. We encourage users who have DNTs to use GPCs or UOOMs.

Notice of Right to Opt-Out of Profiling, Automated Decision Making, and Targeted Advertising

Depending on your state of residence, you may have the right to opt out of targeted advertising and selling of your data. You may submit a request to exercise this right by submitting a request through one of the two options provided in the “Submitting a Consumer Request” section below.

We may create a profile regarding your interests and preferences for our products and services including your potential to purchase a product or service. For job applicants or independent contractors, we may create a profile regarding predispositions, behavior, attitudes, intelligence, abilities, and aptitudes for recruiting and hiring assessments and decisions. Depending on your state of residence, you may have the right to opt out of profiling in furtherance of decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects.
