VI. Cookies and Do Not Track Technologies

Cookies and Similar Tracking Technologies

Like many other websites, our Site use cookies. 'Cookies' are small pieces of information sent to your computer or device and stored on its hard drive to allow our websites to recognize you when you visit. We also use other similar technologies such as tracking pixels, tags, or similar tools when you visit our Website and when you interact with us via email or other forms of electronic communications. These technologies can collect data regarding your operating system, browser type, device type, screen resolution, IP address, and other technical information, as well as navigation events and session information as you interact with our Website. This information allows us to understand how you use the Website.

We set some Cookies ourselves and others are set by third parties. You can manage your Cookies preference as described in the “Managing Your Cookies” section below.

What Types of Cookies Do We Use and Why?

These are the different types of Cookies that we and our service providers use on the Website:

Essential Cookies. These Cookies are required for the operation of the Website and enable you to move around the Website and use its features. Disabling these Cookies can negatively impact the Website’s performance.

Analytics, Performance and Research Cookies. These Cookies allow us to analyze activities on the Website. They can be used to improve the functioning of the Website. For example, these Cookies recognize and count the number of visitors and see how they move around the Website. Analytics Cookies also help us measure the performance of our advertising campaigns to help us improve them and to optimize the Website’s content for those who engage with our advertising.

Functionality Cookies. These Cookies are used to recognize you when you return to the Website. This enables us to personalize content for you and remember your preferences.

Social Networking Cookies. These Cookies are used to enable you to share pages and content that you find interesting on our Website through third-party social networking and other websites. These Cookies may also be used for advertising purposes.

How Long Do Cookies Stay on Your Device?

Some Cookies operate from the time you visit the Website until the end of that particular browsing session. These Cookies, which are called “session cookies,” expire and are automatically deleted when you close your Internet browser.

Some Cookies will stay on your device between browsing sessions and will not expire or automatically delete when you close your Internet browser. These Cookies are called “persistent cookies” and the length of time they will remain on your device will vary from Cookie to Cookie. Persistent Cookies are used for a number of purposes, such as storing your preferences so that they are available for your next visit and to keep a more accurate account of how often you visit the Website, how your use of the Website may change over time, and the effectiveness of advertising efforts.

Managing Your Cookies

It may be possible to block Cookies by changing your Internet browser settings to refuse all or some Cookies. If you choose to block all Cookies (including essential Cookies) you may not be able to access all or parts of the Website.

You can find out more about Cookies and how to manage them by visiting www.AboutCookies.org.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. Google Analytics uses Cookies or other tracking technologies to help us analyze how users interact with the Website, compile reports on the Website’s activity, and provide other services related to Website activity and usage. The technologies used by Google may collect information such as your IP address, time of visit, whether you are a returning visitor, and any referring website. The information generated by Google Analytics will be transmitted to and stored by Google and will be subject to Google’s privacy policies. To learn more about Google’s partner services and to learn how to opt-out of tracking of analytics by Google, click here.

We also use Google Remarketing features to collect data about visitors to our Website to, among other things, deliver advertising content on sites across the Internet in a manner that is specifically directed toward the interests expressed by the visitors while on our Website. Google uses Cookies to serve ads based on someone’s past visits to the Website. You can opt-out of Google’s use of Cookies to serve ads based on your past visits to the Website via the following link: Google Ad Settings.

Do Not Track

Your browser setting may allow you to automatically transmit a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal to websites and online services that you visit. There is no consensus among industry participants as to what DNT means in this context, and some browsers automatically apply DNT signals by default and therefore do not necessarily reflect our visitors' choice as to whether they wish to receive advertisements tailored to their interests. As a result, like many websites and online services, we do not alter our practices when the Service receives a DNT signal from a visitor's browser. However, our Site does recognize the Global Privacy Control, as described in the California Privacy Rights section, below. Additionally, as discussed below, you may opt out of the use of your Personal Information for online behavioral advertising by third parties at any time.

VII. How We Share Your Personal Information

We may share your information with other companies within TriMas. Otherwise, we limit disclosures of Personal Information for business purposes to service providers, agents, subcontractors and other organizations for the purposes of providing services to us or directly to you on our behalf. Such service providers may include hosting and email management, advertising agencies, marketing research and analytics agencies, and administrative services. When we use service providers, we only disclose to them any personal information that is necessary for them to provide their service and we have a contract in place that requires them to keep your information secure and not to use it other than in accordance with our specific instructions.

We may share personal information with website and information security providers for purposes of detecting, investigating, preventing, or taking action against illegal activities, fraud, or situations involving potential threats to the rights, property, or personal safety of any person.

TriMas may be required by law or legal process to disclose certain personal information to our lawyers, to third parties in connection with litigation, or to law enforcement personnel. We will disclose personal information in compliance with applicable laws. We may provide this information without your consent and without notice to you when we are required to do so in order to comply with a valid legal process such as a subpoena, court order, or search warrant.

If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, financing due diligence, reorganization, bankruptcy, receivership, sale of assets, or transition of service to another provider, your personal information may be sold or transferred as part of such a transaction as permitted by law and/or contract. We cannot control how such entities may use or disclose such personal information.

VIII. How to Opt Out of Direct Marketing

If you do not wish to receive future marketing or other commercial messages from us, simply follow the unsubscribe instructions contained within the email or text message you receive. But note that you may continue to receive certain communications from us that are necessary for the Service, such as renewal notifications, invoices, technical notices, updates, security alerts, and support and administrative service bulletins.

IX. Data Security

We take reasonable administrative, technical, and physical security precautions to protect the personal information collected or maintained by us against loss, unauthorized access, and illegal use or disclosure. Unfortunately, the internet cannot be guaranteed to be 100% secure, and we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you provide to us. We do not accept liability for unintentional disclosure of your personal information.

Where we have given (or where you have chosen) a password which enables you to access an account, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone.

Our Websites may contain links to other websites run by other organizations. This notice does not apply to those other websites‚ so we encourage you to read their privacy statements. We cannot be responsible for the privacy policies and practices of other websites even if you access them using links that we provide. In addition, if you linked to our Websites from a third-party website, we cannot be responsible for the privacy policies and practices of the owners and operators of that third party website and recommend that you check the policy of that third party website.

X. Data Retention

If we collect your Personal Information, the length of time we retain it is determined by a number of factors including the purpose for which we use that information and our obligations under other laws. Some records, including Personal Information, must be retained for minimum periods by law (such as payroll records). We may need your Personal Information to establish, bring or defend legal claims. For this purpose, we will retain your Personal Information for as long as necessary for the establishment or defense of our legal claims. We do not retain Personal Information in an identifiable format for longer than is necessary to provide the services you request or for legitimate business purposes.

Before TriMas collects any Personal Information from you, you are entitled under the EU General Data Protection Regulation and the UK General Data Protection Regulation (collectively, the “GDPR”), to the information in this section of our Privacy Policy.

Lawful Basis. 

TriMas will only process your Personal Information when TriMas has a lawful basis for doing so.

You have the right to object to processing based on legitimate interests, subject to limitations. Where TriMas has supplied you with any products, we may use your Personal Information to contact you if there are any urgent safety or product recall notices to communicate to you or where we otherwise reasonably believe that the processing of your Personal Information will prevent or reduce any potential harm to you.

Consent:

We may also use and process your Personal Information where you have consented for us to undertake marketing to you via email or text about our goods and services.

If you bring a claim against us or we bring a claim against you, we may process your personal information in relation to that claim.

We are the Data Controller of all personal information we collect from residents of the European Union. If you have any questions about or need further information concerning the legal basis on which we collect and use your personal information for any specific processing activity, please contact us using the “Contact Information” section below.

International Transfer

All Personal Information you provide to us may be transferred to countries outside the EEA and the UK. By way of example, this may happen where any of our companies are incorporated in a country outside of the EEA and the UK or if any of our servers or those of our third-party service providers are from time to time located in a country outside of the EEA and the UK. These countries may not have similar data protection laws to the EU and the UK. If we transfer Personal Information to a country outside the EEA that does not maintain the same level of data protection as the EU and the UK, we implement appropriate safeguards to ensure the protection of your Personal Information. We may transfer your Personal Information to such countries where we have your consent or where we have implemented Standard Contractual Clauses. Please contact us using the details at the end of this Policy for more information about the protections that we put in place and to obtain a copy of the relevant documents.

Individual Rights

If you use the Websites and are located in the EU, EAA, Switzerland, or the United Kingdom, you are entitled by law to access, correct, amend, or delete Personal Information about you that we hold. A list of these rights is below.

The right to access:You have the right to obtain from us confirmation as to whether or not we are processing personal information about you and, if so, the right to be provided with the information contained in this Notice.

The right to rectification: You have the right to ask us to rectify information you think is inaccurate. You also have the right to ask us to complete information you think is incomplete.

The right to erasure: You have the right to ask us to erase your personal Information in certain circumstances such as when your personal Information is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or processed, we have been using it with no valid legal basis, we are obligated to erase it to comply with a legal obligation to which we are subject, we need your consent to use the information and you withdraw consent, or you object to use processing your personal information where our legal basis for doing so is our legitimate interests and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing.

However, this right is not absolute. Even if you make a request for deletion, we may need to retain certain information for legal or administrative purposes, such as record keeping, maintenance of opt-out requirements, defending or making legal claims, or detecting fraudulent activities. We will retain information in accordance with the “Data Retention” section of this Policy.

If you do exercise a valid right to have your personal information deleted, please keep in mind that deletion by third parties to whom the information has been provided might not be immediate and that the deleted information may persist in backup copies for a reasonable period (but will not be available to others).

The right to restrict processing:You have the right to ask us to restrict the processing of your Personal Information in certain circumstances, such as when the accuracy of the Personal Information is brought into question, we have used your information unlawfully, but you request us to restrict its use instead of erasing it, we no longer need the information for the purpose for which we collected it, but you need it to deal with a legal claim, or you have objected to us using your information, while we check whether our legitimate grounds override your right to object

The right to Information portability: You have the right to ask that we transfer the Personal Information you gave us from one organization to another, or give it to you. This applies to personal information we are processing to service a contract with you and to personal information we are processing based on your consent.

The right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority: If you believe your rights under the GDPR have been violated, the GDPR gives you the right to file a complaint with the supervisory authority. A list of Supervisory Authorities is available here: http://ec.europa.eu/justice/data-protection/bodies/authorities/index_en.htm.

The right to withdraw consent: If TriMas obtains your written consent to collect and process your Personal Information, you can subsequently withdraw such consent as to any further processing of information.

Please note that these rights are not absolute and certain exemptions apply.

To exercise these rights please contact us at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. For your protection, we may need to verify your identity before responding to your request. In the event that we refuse a request, we will provide you a reason as to why.

Where possible, we will provide this information to you in a portable, and to the extent technically feasible, readily usable format that allows you to transmit the data without hindrance.

There are certain exceptions to a consumer’s Right to Know. We will state in our response if an exception applies.

Right of Deletion

Covered Consumers have the right to request that we and our service providers delete any personal information about you which we have collected from you upon receipt of a verifiable request. This right is subject to certain exceptions. We will state in our response if an exception applies.

Right of Correction

Covered Consumers have the right to request that we correct inaccuracies in any personal information that we collect or process about them upon receipt of a verifiable request. This right is subject to certain exceptions. We will state in our response if an exception applies.

Right to Opt-Out of the Sale or Sharing of Personal Information

California residents have the right to tell us not to disclose or transfer their Personal Information to a third party in exchange for something of value or for certain third-party marketing purposes. This is referred to as the right to “opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information” or the “do not sell my information” right.

We do not sell your personal information to third parties for money. However, we use certain third-party analytical cookies and related technologies that may be considered “sales” or “sharing” of data under California law. For more information, and to exercise your right to opt out, please visit our Do Not Sell My Information page, which can be found in the footer of each page of our Websites or by clicking here.

Our Websites respond to the Global Privacy Control (“GPC”), which allows you to opt-out of the sale or sharing of your personal information by default. If you have the GPC enabled, we will not sell or share your personal information. To learn more about the GPC, please visit https://globalprivacycontrol.org/.

Please note that opt-out choices may be stored via cookies. If you clear cookies, if your browser blocks cookies, or if you view the page from a different browser or device, your opt-out choice may no longer be logged or recognized.

Right to Limit the Processing of Sensitive Personal Information

California residents have the right to request that we limit the processing of their sensitive personal information to only those purposes specifically authorized under California law. At this time, we only process your sensitive personal information for purposes specifically authorized by California law.

Right to Non-Discrimination

You have the right not to receive discriminatory treatment for exercising the privacy rights conferred by California law. We will not discriminate against you because you exercised any of your privacy rights, including, but not limited to, by: denying goods or services to you; charging different prices or rates for goods or services, including through the use of discounts or other benefits or imposing penalties; providing a different level of quality of goods or services to you; or suggesting that you will receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services. We will also not retaliate against any employee, applicant for employment, or independent contractor for exercising their rights under the CCPA.

Verifying Requests

TriMas provides California Consumers with the ability to submit requests through our email address. TriMas must verify that the person requesting information or deletion is the California Consumer about whom the request relates in order to process the request. To verify a California Consumer’s identity, we may request up to three pieces of Personal Information about you when you make a request to compare against our records. We cannot respond to your request or provide you with Personal Information if we cannot verify your identity. Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us. We will only use Personal Information provided in your request to verify your identity and will delete any information you provide after processing the request. TriMas reserves the right to take additional steps as necessary to verify the identity of California Consumers where we have reason to believe a request is fraudulent. 

Authorized Agent

You may choose a person registered with the California Secretary of State that you authorize to act on your behalf to submit your requests (“Authorized Agent”). If you choose to use an Authorized Agent, we require that you provide the Authorized Agent with written permission to allow them to submit your request and that you verify your identity directly with us. Failure to do so may result in TriMas denying your request.

“Shine the Light”

Residents of the State of California also have the right to request information regarding third parties to whom the company has disclosed certain categories of personal information during the preceding year for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes under California’s “Shine the Light” law. We do not disclose Personal Information to third parties for their own direct marketing purposes. However, if you are a California resident and would like to inquire further, please email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
