How We Ensure the Security of Your Information
GLOCK is committed to ensuring that your personally identifiable and non-identifiable personal information is secure. We have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to prevent unauthorized access, modification, disclosure, or loss of your personally identifiable information. However, we cannot guarantee your personally identifiable and non- identifiable personal information will never be disclosed in a nature that conflicts with this Policy. Additionally, we are not responsible for any breach of security or actions undertaken by any third parties that receive the information.
GLOCK recognizes the importance of keeping your personal information as secure as possible. GLOCK uses a range of security technologies and procedures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, misuse, or prohibited disclosure. The information is protected from unauthorized access by means of encrypted transfer, encrypted saving, a role authorization system, a data security system, and physical protection measures for the server. The security measures are revised on an ongoing basis in accordance with technological development.
GLOCK complies with all applicable laws and requirements, including the GDPR and CCPA, regarding the reporting, investigation, and disclosure of security breaches that result in the unauthorized access of customer personal information.
How We Store Data
GLOCK retains all rights of ownership on our software, code, databases, designs and any other internally developed application to provide our Websites and Services. You retain all rights of your data posted on the Websites or Services. We utilize external vendors and hosting companies to provide the software, hardware, storage, networking, and other necessary technology required to provide the Websites and Services.
All information gathered by or provided to GLOCK, including but not limited to your personally identifiable and non-identifiable personal information, is stored in the United States of America. All information stored by GLOCK is subject to the laws of the United States of America, regardless of the country from which the data originates.
Requesting or Controlling Your Personal Information
We make every effort to give you access to your personal information, to allow you to correct any inaccuracies, or to remove your personal information at your request, provided it is not required for genuine business purposes or by law to be retained.
Your local privacy laws may grant you certain rights with respect to your personal information, and GLOCK will not knowingly discriminate against you for exercising any of your privacy rights. The relevant data privacy statutes applicable to residents of Colorado, Connecticut, Oregon, Texas, Virginia, and Utah provide residents of these states (“Covered Residents”) with specific rights regarding their personal information. California residents may have the rights as described in our “Privacy of California Residents” section. These rights differ depending on the jurisdiction, but could include one or more of the following:
- Right to confirm whether we process, or have processed, your personal information and, if so, identify the type of data and allow you to access, correct, and delete certain personal information GLOCK has collected from you.
- Right to opt-out of or limit the collection, processing, use, sale, or disclosure of your personal information for targeted advertising or profiling. GLOCK does not collect, process, use, sell, or disclose any personal information for these purposes.
- Right to receive your personal information in a portable copy.
We will require you to identify yourself and the information you request to disclose to you, remove, modify or correct before commencing such requests. Information provided for verification purposes is used only for those purposes and is not saved or retained.
To exercise the rights described above, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us by either:
- Calling our toll-free number at 1(800) 460-2765,
- Contacting us at marketing@glock.us, or
- Submitting a digital verifiable request through our web form, located here.
Upon receipt of a verifiable request, we will provide you with information regarding:
- Categories of personal information collected about you, including the sources of the information.
- The business or commercial purpose for collecting the personal information.
- Identification of the personal information collected.
When we provide access to your personal information for the purposes of modification, correction, or removal, we do so free of charge except where doing so requires an unreasonable effort. Additionally, in some instances, we reserve the right to charge a reasonable fee, where allowed by law, to cover administrative costs associated with complying with requests when a consumer has made more than one request within a 12-month period.
We will confirm receipt of a verifiable consumer request within 10 business days and provide information about how the request will be processed. We will locate the requested personal information, and, if available, will take the requested action with regards to your verifiable request. We endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) calendar days of its receipt.
Removal of personal information is possible under certain circumstances, provided GLOCK does not have a legitimate or lawful purpose to retain it or is otherwise required by law to retain it. We may refuse requests that we believe are fraudulent, are of unreasonable technical effort or would be highly unfeasible, endanger the privacy of others, or require access that is not normally necessary. GLOCK may also deny a request if it cannot verify the consumer within the 45-day time period. If we require more time (up to 90 calendar days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing. We will respond to a verifiable request in the same format in which the original request was made.
If you receive notice that we have denied your request, consumers in some states may be entitled to submit an appeal to us, in certain circumstances. If you believe our decision was in error and wish to request reconsideration of your inquiry, please contact us, with a brief description of the reasons why, at:
- Our toll-free number 1(800) 460-2765, or
- By email at marketing@glock.us
Do Not Track
We do not respond to “Do Not Track” requests received from your web browser.
Children
We do not knowingly collect or solicit information from children under the age of eighteen (18). If you are the parent or guardian of a child under the age of eighteen (18) and believe he or she has disclosed personal information to us, please contact us through the addresses and mediums set forth below in the “Contact GLOCK, Inc.” section of the Policy. A parent or guardian of a child under the age of eighteen (18) may review and request deletion of a child’s personal information, as well as prohibit the use of such information. If we become aware that a child under the age of eighteen (18) has provided us with personal information, we will take reasonable steps to remove that information.
Privacy Rights of California Residents
The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) provides California residents with specific rights regarding their personal information. This section describes the rights of California residents under the CCPA and explains how to exercise those rights. These rights are only available to current residents of the State of California.
GLOCK gathers information from the following categories of Personal Information identified by the CCPA:
- Identifiers, such as your first and last name;
- Customer Records Information;
- Commercial Information;
- Financial Information, such as credit or debit information, or any other payment information you provide us; and
- Government Identification Numbers, including your social security number.
This information may be used to verify your identity, to create an account through our Websites, for administrative purposes, to bill you for a service offered by the Websites, to correspond with you regarding a request, inquiry, or purchase you have made, to provide you Services, and to otherwise correspond with you (such as through email or correspondence to us at your request and with your consent). You may provide this information to us by filling out forms on our Websites, creating an account, making purchases, entering contests or promotions, engaging in Services, or by similar methods or means.
GLOCK does not sell your personal information as that term is defined under the CCPA. GLOCK only processes sensitive personal information for the purposes specified in Section 7027(m) of the CCPA Regulations, or without the purpose of inferring characteristics about a consumer.
GLOCK may disclose your personal information to service providers to fulfill the following purposes:
- To provide you customer service;
- To process transactions and payments;
- To fulfill orders; and
- To verify your identity.
During any given 12-month period, GLOCK gathers personal information from the categories listed above, and will disclose these categories of personal information to a consumer upon receipt of a verifiable consumer request.
Access to Specific Information and Data Portability Rights
You have the right to request that GLOCK disclose certain information to you about our collection and use of your personal information over the past 12 months. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will disclose to you:
- The categories of personal information we collected about you in the preceding 12 months,
- The categories of sources for the personal information we collected about you,
- Our business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling that personal information,
- The categories of third parties with whom we share that personal information,
- The categories of personal information that we sold in the previous 12 months, and for each category identified, the categories of third parties to which it sold that particular category of personal information (please note, GLOCK does not sell personal information),
- The specific pieces of personal information we collected about you (also called a data portability request),
- If we disclosed your personal information for a business purpose, we will disclose to you the personal information categories that the recipient obtained.
Deletion Request Rights
You have the right to request that GLOCK delete any of your personal information that we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will delete (and direct our service providers to delete) your personal information from our records, unless an exception applies. GLOCK shall inform the consumer whether or not it has complied with the consumer’s request.
We may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service provider(s) to:
- Complete the transaction for which we collected the personal information, provide a good or service that you requested, take actions reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with you, or otherwise perform our contract with you.
- Detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, or prosecute those responsible for such activities.
- Debug products to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality.
- Exercise free speech, ensure the right of another consumer to exercise their free speech or exercise another right provided for by law.
- Comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act (Cal. Penal Code § 1546 seq.).
- Engage in public or peer-reviewed scientific, historical, or statistical research in the public interest that adheres to all other applicable ethics and privacy laws, when the information’s deletion may likely render impossible or seriously impair the research’s achievement, if you previously provided informed consent.
- Enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with consumer expectations based on your relationship with us.
- Comply with a legal obligation; or
- Make other internal and lawful uses of that information that are compatible with the context in which you provided it.
Correction Request Rights
You have the right to request that GLOCK correct any inaccurate personal information that we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions. Once we receive, verify, and approve your request, we will correct (and direct our service providers to correct) your personal information, unless an exception applies. GLOCK shall inform the consumer whether or not it has complied with the consumer’s request.
Opt Out of Sharing Rights
You have the right to opt out of the sharing of your personal information to a third party for data analytics. GLOCK does not sell your personal information. GLOCK shares some personal information with other companies, as described above. To opt out of the sharing of your personal information, please click here.
Exercising Access, Data Portability, and Deletion Rights
To exercise the rights described above, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us by either:
- Calling our toll-free number at 1(800)460-2765,
- Contacting us at marketing@glock.us, or
- Submitting a digital verifiable request through our web form, located here.
Only you, or a person registered with the California Secretary of State that you authorize to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal information. You may also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor child.
You may only make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period. The verifiable consumer request must:
- Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative, and
- Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.
We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal information relates to you.
Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us.
We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.
Under the CCPA, you may exercise these rights yourself or you may designate an authorized agent to make these requests on your behalf. We may request that your authorized agent have written permission from you to make requests on your behalf and may need to verify your authorized agent’s identity.
Response Timing and Format
We will confirm receipt of a verifiable request within 10 business days and provide information about how the request will be processed. We will locate the requested personal information, and, if available, will take the requested action with regards to your verifiable request. We endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) calendar days of its receipt. GLOCK may deny a request if it cannot verify the consumer within the 45-day time period. If we require more time (up to 90 calendar days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing. We will respond to a verifiable request in the same format in which the original request was made.
Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the verifiable consumer request’s receipt. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your personal information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance.
We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.
Collection of Personal Information from Applicants and Employees
If you apply for a job with GLOCK, Inc., we may request professional and employment-related information, education information, characteristics of protected classifications under California or federal law, and biometric information.
