Your privacy is important to us, so UST designs and operates its web services with the protection of privacy taken into account. The types of personal information that may be gathered when you use UST’s websites and some of the steps we take to safeguard it are outlined in this Privacy Policy.
Personal and Non-Personal Data Collected
Browsing of our websites and most other services do not require any personally identifying information (e.g. your name, address, telephone number or e-mail address), unless you voluntarily choose to provide us with it (e.g. to request information or have UST contact you).
UST may collect limited non-personally identifying information made available by your browser whenever you visit a UST website. This browser-provided information may include your Internet Protocol address, browser type, browser language, the date and time of your use of the website and one or more cookies that may uniquely identify your browser. We use this information to better understand the behavior of visitors to our website and to further improve the experience of our visitors.
As you browse a UST website, advertising cookies will be placed on your computer so that we can understand what you are interested in. Our display advertising partner, AdRoll, then enables us to present you with retargeting advertising on other sites based on your previous interaction with UST. The techniques our partners employ do not collect personal information such as your name, email address, postal address or telephone number. You can visit this page to opt out of AdRoll and their partners’ targeted advertising.
Use and Security of Data Collected
UST does not rent or sell personally identifying information without your consent. Access to your personally identifying information is limited to those UST employees who need such information in order to fulfill your request or supply our services. Appropriate security measures are used to protect against unauthorized access to or unauthorized alteration, disclosure or destruction of data.
We may share personally identifying information for any of the following limited purposes:
- In order to process your request, we may share such information with trusted businesses or persons who are subject to agreements that oblige them to process such information only on our instructions and in compliance with this Privacy Policy and appropriate confidentiality and security measures
- To protect the rights and property of UST or the public, we conclude that we are required by law or have a good faith belief that disclosure of such information is reasonably necessary
- You have provided us your expressed consent
We may share with others aggregated non-personal information such as visitor trends or the number of visitors who accessed a particular part of UST’s websites.
Children
UST does not intentionally solicit the use of its websites by children and will not knowingly collect personal data from children without prior parental consent. We will knowingly use or disclose personal data about a child only to the extent permitted by law, to seek parental consent pursuant to local law and regulations or to protect the child.
Links to Other Websites
UST is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of other websites which may have links to or from UST’s website.
Questions and Policy Changes
UST will respond to reasonable requests to review the requestor’s personal data or to correct, amend or delete such data. Any questions or comments about UST’s Privacy Protection Policy may be addressed to any of the contacts found under the “Contact Us” tab on the website. All changes to our Privacy Protection Policy will be posted on this page. Users of UST’s websites are encouraged to check this page regularly to be informed of any changes.
