IP Address

We also use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server and to administer our website. An IP address is a numeric code that identifies your computer or mobile device on a network, or in this case, the Internet. Your IP address is also used to gather broad demographic information, such as determining how many of our visitors are from outside of the US.

We may also perform IP lookups to determine which domain you are coming from (for example, gmail.com or yourcompany.com) to more accurately gauge our users’ demographics.

Disclosure of Your Personal Data
We do not share with, sell, or distribute your Personal Data to unrelated third parties for their own marketing purposes. We only share your Personal Data with third parties under these limited circumstances:

we may share various details about you with other members of the Tennant Group, our partners, advisers and other agents in order to provide you with the specific products or services you require or to look after products or services you currently receive from us;
Personal Data may occasionally be transferred to third parties who act for us for further processing in accordance with the purposes for which the data was originally collected or for purposes to which you have consented or otherwise in accordance with this Privacy Policy. For example, sometimes a third party may have access to your Personal Data in order to support our information technology or to handle mailings on our behalf;
we may share or transfer the information in our databases to comply with a legal or regulatory requirement, for the administration of justice, interacting with anti-fraud databases and denied parties lists, to protect your vital interests, to protect the security or integrity of our databases or this website, to take precautions against legal liability, or in the event of our sale, merger, reorganization, transfer of business, dissolution or similar event; or
if we sell or buy any business or assets, in which case we may disclose your Personal Data to the prospective seller or buyer of such business or assets.
Where appropriate, before disclosing Personal Data to a third party we contractually require the third party to take adequate precautions to protect that data and to comply with applicable law.
