Information Collection, Use and your Rights

We collect personally identifiable information when you provide it to us through your use of the Site, such as when you register with our Site; submit comments, questions or suggestions to our Site; process a business request through the Site; or otherwise interact with the Site in a manner that requires users to provide such information. The types of personally identifiable information we have collected in the preceding 12 months and will continue to collect include identifiers and contact Information, such as a person’s name, business name, telephone number and email address.

At times we conduct on-line surveys to better understand our visitors’ needs. Participation in the surveys is optional. Information gathered is used by Crowley to improve marketing efforts. Data gathered may also be used to send information and promotional material about Crowley and new applications to be launched on the Site. Surveys collect identifiers and contact information, as well as well as information about your use of the Site that you volunteer.

In addition, our web servers collect Internet and other electronic network activity information, including the IP addresses, of visitors. This information is aggregated to measure the number of visits, average time spent on the Site, pages viewed, etc. We use this information to measure the use of our Site and to improve the content of our Site. Additionally, information may be integrated into customer relationship management programs so our sales and marketing personnel can identify areas of possible interest for prospective or current customers.

If Crowley or its assets are acquired by another company, that company will possess the identifiers, contact information, or Internet or other electronic network activity information collected by us and it will assume the rights and obligations regarding your personal information as described in this Privacy Policy.

Crowley processes identifiers, contact information, and Internet and other electronic network activity information for carefully considered and specific legitimate business purposes, which includes some or all of the following:

• to process orders and payments to vendors, service providers, and customers;
• in the recruiting process to record and route candidate information to appropriate Crowley personnel;
• where the processing enables us to enhance, modify, personalize or otherwise improve our services or communications for the benefit of our customers;
• to identify and prevent fraud;
• to enhance the security of our network and information systems;
• to better understand how people interact with our websites;
• to provide postal communications which we will think will be of interest to you; and
• to determine the effectiveness of promotional campaigns and advertising.

Whenever Crowley processes data for these purposes, it will keep your personal data rights in mind. You always have a right to object to this processing of your information and may contact Crowley at Ethics@crowley.com to notify the company. Please note, if you object to the processing of your information, it may affect our ability to carry out tasks above for your benefit.
