Rohm
and Haas Company (Rohm and Haas) respects the privacy
of visitors to our websites. In order for you to feel comfortable
that your privacy will be maintained throughout your visit to
our website, and as you do business with our Company on-line,
we have organized our sites so that you will not be required
to identify yourself or reveal any personal information in order
to view many parts of our websites. At times, we may ask you
to provide information about yourself or your company in order
to better serve you. If you choose to provide this personally
identifiable information, we will use it in accordance with
this Statement. We provide this Privacy Statement to answer
some of the questions you may have about the types of information
we may collect from our website and what we may do with that
information. Please read this Privacy Statement
carefully, because by using this website, you are acknowledging
and agreeing to the terms of the Statement, without qualification
or limitation. If you do not agree with these terms, you may
not use this site.
What
Information Do We Collect?
We understand that you expect to learn
about our products and services when you visit our websites.
Similarly, we hope to learn about your needs through your visits
to our websites in order to better develop products and services
that meet your needs. Thus, we may ask you about the nature
of your business, particular projects you are working on, what
you plan to use our products for, and various other demographic
information. We try to tailor these questions to your particular
needs; for example, if you are a contractor, we may ask different
questions than if you are a do-it-yourselfer. On
some of our web pages, you may ask questions and register to
receive information. On these pages, we will ask you for the
personal information necessary for us to respond to you, such
as your name and contact information. You may decide against
participating in data collection by not sending us information
which you consider private, or by not registering to receive
information from us.
We
use cookies on our websites to help you use our
services more easily, and to help us to keep track of certain
statistical information so that we can continuously improve
our website and our service to you. A "cookie" is
a small data file that a website can send to your browser, which
may then be stored on your hard drive to help our website remember
information about you when you return to our website, such as
your preferences for our sites and user passwords. Our cookies
cannot read data off of your hard drive, cannot read cookie
files created by other websites or track any personal information
about you. You may be able to set your browser to erase a cookie,
block a cookie or notify you when you receive a cookie.
What
Do We Do With This Information?
We will use the information that you
provide us to better understand your needs and to provide you
with better products and services. At the most basic level,
we will use information you provide to communicate with you,
to update you on our products and services, and to personalize
our websites for you. We may also share with our business associates
data about the number and frequency of visitors to our websites
and the manner in which customers use our websites. Additionally,
we may share with our business associates, affiliates and corporate
transaction partners (for instance, merger partners) information
about you in order to provide better products and services.
Periodically, we may survey you about your use of products for
other market research, or to provide you with marketing information
that we think will be useful to you. Of course, you need not
participate in these surveys or accept this marketing information.
Except
as set forth in this Privacy Statement, we will not, without
your permission, give, sell or provide to others for a fee the
information which you provide to us. We will always ask for
and obtain your permission before sharing your personal information
with anyone other than Rohm and Haas affiliates, business associates
or corporate transaction partners, unless we believe in good
faith the law supports disclosure even without your consent.
How Can You Be Sure The Information You Provide is Accurately
Maintained?
The
information you provide helps us to develop better products
and services and we take seriously the obligation to maintain
it accurately. If you have any questions about this Privacy
Statement, or if you have or another person has submitted personally
identifiable information about you through this website, and
you would like to have that information deleted from our marketing
databases, please contact us at webmaster@rohmhaas.com or Rohm
and Haas Company, Law Department, 100 Independence Mall West,

requests.
Will
Your Information be Secure?
Rohm and Haas recognizes that visitors
to its websites naturally will be concerned about the security
of their information, and we are committed to employing reasonable
technology in order to protect the security of this website,
but even with the best technology, no website is 100% secure.
We will take reasonable measures which we believe are appropriate
to protect your information from loss, misuse, alteration or
destruction, and, where possible, will try to ensure that any
third parties to whom we may transfer your information take
appropriate steps to protect its security.
