Overview
Volvo Construction Equipment and its subsidiaries and affiliates (“Volvo Construction Equipment”) is strongly committed to protecting the privacy of users of its interactive products and services. Throughout cyberspace, we want to contribute to providing a safe and secure environment. The purpose of this Volvo Construction Equipment Privacy Policy is to inform you, as a welcome visitor to the Volvo Construction Equipment website, what kinds of information we may gather about you when you visit, how we may use that information, whether we disclose it to anyone, and the choices you have regarding our use of, and your ability to correct, the information. By clicking on the "I Accept" button at the end of this document, you electronically sign this Privacy Policy and accept and consent to the practices described herein.
All Volvo Construction Equipment Website Visitors
We automatically gather certain usage information like the number and frequency of visitors to the Volvo Construction Equipment website and its areas, very much like television ratings that tell the networks how many people tuned in to a program. We only use such data in the aggregate, and it is not tied to any personally identifying information. This collective data helps us determine how much our visitors use parts of the website, so we can improve our website to assure that it is as appealing as we can make it for as many of you as possible. For example, Volvo Construction Equipment uses a technology nicknamed "cookies." Cookies are small data files that are downloaded onto your computer when you visit our website and that automatically identify your browser to the Volvo Construction Equipment server whenever you interact with our website. We use cookies to tell us how and when pages in our website are visited, and by how many visitors. We use this information to monitor visitor interest in our range of products and services and to assist us in tailoring the content of this website to our online visitors' needs. Volvo Construction Equipment cookies do not collect personally identifiable information and we do not combine information collected through cookies with other personally identifiable information to tell us who you are or even what your screen name or e-mail address is. The "help" portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether. However, you will not be able to use some important features of our website if your browser does not accept cookies.
Information About You
We may ask you to provide us with personal information on a voluntary basis in certain areas of our website, such as in connection with registering. In particular, you may be asked to provide your name; your title; your work address, telephone number, fax number, and email address; your supervisor’s name, position, work address and telephone number; and your reason for accessing and using the website. You can always choose not to provide such information, but then you might not be able to register or take advantage of some of our features. We may also ask you for additional information, such as credit card or bank account information, if you choose to order goods through our website. We use the personally identifiable information that you provide for such purposes as improving our product recommendations, responding to your requests, customizing future offers for you, communicating with you, sending you information about Volvo Construction Equipment and promotional material about our products and services (provided that you have not opted out as described below), and fulfilling orders for products. We may also compare our visitor list to lists received from our affiliates or from other companies, in an effort to avoid sending unnecessary messages to our visitors. In addition, Volvo Construction Equipment may use personally-identifiable information to conduct other legitimate business activities, such as protecting the security of the website and of Volvo Construction Equipment’s networks, guarding against potential liability, engaging in debt collection, responding to a court order or subpoena, preventing fraud, complying with law, and complying with a legally permitted inquiry by a government agency or regulator.

We may employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. Examples include sending postal mail and e-mail, removing repetitive information from customer lists, analyzing data, providing marketing assistance, processing credit card payments, and providing customer service. They have access to personal information needed to perform the functions we have asked them to perform, but may not use it for other purposes. We release account and other personal information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with law; enforce or apply our Conditions of Use and other agreements; or protect the rights, property, or safety of Volvo Construction Equipment, our website visitors, or others. This may include exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection.
