This privacy policy discloses the privacy practices for this web site operated by
Mohawk Industries, Inc. (“Mohawk”). Mohawk wants you to understand the
terms and conditions surrounding Mohawk’s collection and use of your personally
identifiable information through this web site.
Information Collection and Use
Mohawk collects personally identifiable information when you visit the site’s
pages or when you voluntarily provide information to Mohawk through the site.
The site automatically logs information about you from your browser when you visit
the site, such as your IP address, the pages you visit and similar information.
You may also choose to voluntarily provide us with information about you at various
places on the site. Personal information which we may ask you to provide includes
your name, location, e-mail address, company affiliation, telephone number, and
other similar information.
This site may place and access cookies when you visit the site. A cookie is a small
data file that web sites commonly write to your hard drive when you visit them.
A cookie file contains information that can identify you each time you visit the
site. This site uses cookies as a way to measure activity and traffic patterns on
the site. You may choose to set your computer to reject cookies if you desire.
From time-to-time Mohawk's website may request additional information from users
via surveys or contests. Participation in these surveys or contests is completely
voluntary and you therefore have a choice whether or not to disclose additional
information that may be requested. Information requested via surveys and contests
may include additional demographic information.
Mohawk may use the information collected through this site to send you information
and promotional material, to process your requests for information or services,
or to customize the site for your future visits.
Sharing and Disclosure
Mohawk is not in the business of selling or renting your personally identifiable
information. Mohawk may share information about you with others under the following
circumstances:
- when necessary to third parties who work for Mohawk in order to process your requests
or provide you information;
- when you consent to disclosure;
- by operation of law, when such information is transferred as a part of a sale of
assets including the assets represented by this site;
- to comply with law, court orders, subpoena or legal process; or
to enforce or apply Mohawk’s agreements or protect Mohawk’s rights.
- In the event that Mohawk or substantially all of its assets are acquired outside
of the ordinary course of business, your information may be one of the transferred
assets.
Linked Sites
It is important to note that Mohawk’s website contains links to other web
sites and that those other websites may not follow the same privacy policies as
Mohawk. For instance, if you click an ad on our website, this may take you away
from our site to an entirely different website. This includes links from advertisers,
content providers and trade partners who may use our logo and/or style as part of
a co-branding agreement. These other websites may collect data from you that Mohawk
would not and may use that data in ways that Mohawk would not.
Security
This site takes precautions to protect your personally identifiable information.
In certain areas of the site, your information may be protected using industry standard
Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption technology. While we use SSL encryption to
protect sensitive information online, we also take steps to protect user-information
off-line. All of our users’ information is restricted in our offices. All
employees and representatives are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy practices.
Any time new policies are added; our employees are notified and/or reminded about
the importance we place on privacy, and what they can do to ensure our customers’
information is protected.
Correcting and Deleting Information
1. If the information you have given Mohawk changes and you would like to modify
it or if you would like to view the information Mohawk has about you, send your
request to the following location. In addition, if you wish to remove information
about yourself from Mohawk’s files, use the Contact Mohawk form or send an
email to the address listed on the site.
With any request, provide Mohawk with a means to identify you and contact you if
necessary. Mohawk will respond to appropriate requests within a reasonable time.
Changes to Privacy Policy
Mohawk may amend this Privacy Policy from time to time. If Mohawk decides to change
its privacy practices for this site, Mohawk will post those changes to the Privacy
Policy on the site in advance of the changes taking effect. You should periodically
check the site to review changes.
