The information collected is necessary for the purposes set for above. Without his information, you may not be able to take advantage of some of our services.
Sharing
We may share your information among our affiliates, subsidiaries, employees, service providers, contractors, or consultants so that they may perform their duties and so that we can provide you with our products and services.
Generally, we will not sell, distribute, publish, disclose, or share your personal information to any unaffiliated third parties without your consent. In limited situations, though, we may disclose your personal information to unaffiliated third parties: (1) who provide services on our behalf to the extent such information is necessary to deliver these services (examples of these service providers include entities that process credit card payments, provide marketing services, and website optimization services); (2) in order to comply with law or respond to a legally valid inquiry or order, subpoena or search warrant; (3) as part of a corporate transaction, such as a merger, or sale of assets (we will use reasonable efforts to direct the transferee to use personal data you have provided to us in a manner that is consistent with this privacy policy and you may contact the transferee with any inquiries concerning the processing of your personal information); (4) in order to enforce our Terms & Conditions and other agreements or policies; and/or (5) to otherwise protect ourselves, our employees, our customers, or members of the public.
We may transfer your personal information to affiliates and service providers in countries other than the country in which the information was originally collected, and your personal information may be stored and processed outside of your country of residence. Those countries may not have the same data protection laws as your country of residence, and your personal information will be subject to applicable foreign laws.

When you visit or interact with our Websites, we may use cookies to determine whether you’ve visited our Websites before, deliver personalized content, improve your experience on our Website, tailor ads displayed to you, and for data analytics. For example, cookies help us understand whether or not you are already logged in as you click throughout our Website. You may use your browser settings to choose what cookies can be placed on your computer and to delete or disable cookies, but setting a browser to reject cookies may affect and limit your experience on our Websites.

Our Websites may link to websites that are not under our control, and we are not responsible for the privacy practices of any linked site not controlled by us. For example, we provide a number of links to associations and institutes that are part of the packaging industry, as well as other industries. We also provide links to social networks, such as Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. We are not responsible for the privacy practices at these external websites or their use of your information.

Targeted Advertising
We may contract with third party advertising networks (e.g., Google) that collect IP addresses and other information through the use of cookies and web server logs on our Websites and emails, on third party websites, social media networks, and emails, and on our advertising placed on third party websites and social media networks. These advertising networks use this information to provide advertisements about products and services tailored to your interests (including for companies not affiliated with us). You may see these advertisements on our Websites or other third party websites. These processes also help us test and track the effectiveness of our marketing efforts.
Protecting Your Data
We maintain appropriate administrative, technical and physical safeguards designed to protect the personal information you provide to us against accidental, unlawful or unauthorized access, alteration, loss, destruction, disclosure or use.
