Last Updated: 5/27/2022
Elimold offers a range of services to customers and prospective customers to assist them in the
manufacture of their parts and assemblies by providing them with the ability to purchase those parts
and assemblies from Elimold (“Customer”). Elimold has a network of third-party manufacturers
capable of performing manufacturing services on Elimold’s behalf (“Partners”) to which Elimold
provides various services and software to assist Partners in operating their manufacturing
businesses. Customers and Partners (collectively referred to as “You”). You may interact with
Elimold and provide us information through our software plug-ins, our online platforms at
elimold.com (and all associated subdomains) (collectively referred to as the “Website”), or by
speaking with our employees and other representatives in support of the various services that we
provide to you as a Customer or Partner (collectively, the “Services”). Elimold (“Elimold” or “we”
or “us”) has created this Privacy Policy to explain to you our privacy practices regarding the
information we gather from you when you visit our Website and utilize the Services.
This Privacy Policy aims to give you information on how Elimold collects and processes your
personal data through your use of the Website and our Services for our own purposes (i.e., where
we are the Controller). It is intended to meet our duties as a Controller of Transparency under
European data protection legislation known as the “GDPR” or “General Data Protection
Regulation”. This Privacy Policy does not describe how we process personal data on our
customer’s or any other person’s instructions (i.e., where we act as a Processor).
This Privacy Policy is subject to occasional revision, and if we make any material changes in the way
we use your personal data, we may notify you by sending you an e-mail to the last e-mail address
you provided to us and/or by prominently posting notice of the changes on our Website. Any
changes to this Privacy Policy will be effective upon the earlier of thirty (30) calendar days following
our dispatch of an e-mail notice to you or thirty (30) calendar days following our posting of notice of
the changes on our Website. These changes will be effective immediately for new users of our
Services. Please note that at all times you are responsible for updating your personal data to provide
us with your most current e-mail address. In the event that the last e-mail address that you have
provided us is not valid, or for any reason is not capable of delivering to you the notice described
above, our dispatch of the e-mail containing such notice will nonetheless constitute effective notice
of the changes described in the notice. If you do not wish to permit changes in our use of your
personal data, you must notify us prior to the effective date of the changes that you wish to
deactivate your Account with us. Continued use of our Website or Services, following notice of such
changes shall indicate your acknowledgment of such changes and agreement to be bound by the
terms and conditions of such changes.What Information Do We Collect?
We collect information about you in various ways when you use our Website and Services.
Information You Provide
We collect the information you voluntarily provide to us. For example:
- We may collect personal information from you, such as your first and last name, phone
number, email address, company name, job title and password when you create an account
to log in to our Website or as a Customer or Manufacturing Partner (“Account”).
- We may collect personal information from you, such as your first and last name, phone
number, email address, company name, and job title when you engage in conversation with
a chatbot (“Bot”) or through electronic or non-electronic means.
- When you use support services or access our Website, we will collect all information
necessary to complete the transaction that you have requested or authorized, depending on
the nature of the Services that you are accessing. Such information may include your name,
e-mail address, credit card information, bank account information, social security number
and/or tax identification number, billing information and shipping information.
- We retain information on your behalf, in order to maintain and service your Account in order
to deliver the Services.
If you provide us feedback or contact us via email, we will collect your name and email
address, as well as any other content included in the email, in order to send you a reply.
In certain circumstances we may request that you provide us with photocopies of your ID and
other related documents for fraud prevention purposes and to verify your identity.
- When you participate in one of our surveys, we will collect the information you provide.
- We may also collect personal information at other points on our Website that state that
personal information is being collected.
If you provide us feedback or contact us via text message (“SMS”), we will collect your name
and phone number, as well as any other content included in the SMS, in order to send you a
reply.
Information Collected Via Technology
We collect certain information automatically via various technological means. We collect information
via technology in the following ways:
- Log Files. As is true of most websites, we gather certain information automatically and store
it in log files. This information includes aggregate information on the pages customers
access or visit (but not on which pages individual users visit), IP addresses, browser type,
Internet Service Provider (ISP), operating systems, date/time stamp and clickstream data.
We use this information to analyze trends, administer the Website and better tailor our
Services to our users’ needs.
- Cookies. Like many online services, we use cookies to collect information. “Cookies” are
small files that a website or its service provider transfers to your computer’s hard drive
through your Web browser that enables the website’s or service provider’s systems torecognize your browser and capture and remember certain information. We use cookies to
help us understand your preferences based on previous or current site activity and compile
aggregate data about Website traffic and Website interaction so that we can offer better
Website experiences and tools in the future. You can choose to have your computer warn
you each time a cookie is being sent, or you can choose to turn off all cookies. You do this
through your browser (e.g., Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, or
Apple Safari) settings. Each browser is a little different, so look at your browser Help menu to
learn the correct way to modify your cookie preferences. If you turn cookies off, you will not
have access to many features that make your Website experience more efficient and some
of our Services will not function properly. We use cookies only to record session information
and to tailor marketing information and other services to you. We do not use cookies to
obtain personally identifiable information.
- Pixel Tags. In addition, we use “Pixel Tags” (also referred to as clear Gifs, Web beacons, or
Web bugs). Pixel Tags are tiny graphic images with a unique identifier, similar in function to
Cookies, which are used to track online movements of Web users. In contrast to Cookies,
which are stored on a user’s computer hard drive, Pixel Tags are embedded invisibly in Web
pages. Pixel Tags also allow us to send e-mail messages in a format users can read, and
they tell us whether e-mails have been opened to ensure that we are sending only messages
that are of interest to our users. We may use this information to reduce or eliminate
messages sent to a user.
- Third Party Analytics. We use third party services providers, such as Google Analytics, to
help analyze how users use the Website (“Analytics Providers”). Analytics Providers use
Cookies to collect information such as how often users visit the Website, what pages they
visit, and what other sites they used prior to coming to the Website. We use the information
we get from Analytics Providers only to improve our Website and Services. Analytics
Providers collect only the IP address assigned to you on the date you visit the Website,
rather than your name or other personally identifying information. We do not combine the
information generated through the use of Analytics Providers with your personal data.
No Special Categories of Personal Data
We do not collect any “Special Categories of Personal Data” about you (this includes details about
your race or ethnicity, religious or philosophical beliefs, sex life, sexual orientation, political opinions,
trade union membership, information about your health and genetic and biometric data). Nor do we
collect any information about criminal convictions and offences.
How Do We Use Your Personal Information?
General Use.
We will only use your personal data for the purposes for which we collected it as listed below, unless
we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with
the original purpose.If we need to use your personal data for an unrelated purpose, we will update this Privacy Policy and
we will explain the legal basis which allows us to do so.
What is our “legal basis” for processing your Personal Data?
In respect of each of the purposes for which we use your personal data, the GDPR requires us to
ensure that we have a “legal basis” for that use. Most commonly, we will rely on one of the following
legal bases:
- Where we need to perform a contract, we are about to enter into or have entered into
with you (“Contractual Necessity”).
- Where it is necessary for our legitimate interests and your interests and fundamental rights
do not override those interests (“Legitimate Interests”). More detail about the specific
legitimate interests pursued in respect of each purpose we use your personal data for is set
out in bullet form below.
- Where we need to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation (“Compliance with Law”).
We use your personal information in the following ways:
- Facilitate the creation of and secure your Account on our network;
Identify you as a user in our system or within the system of a third-party service provider or
an authorized business party who assists us with the delivery of the Services;
- When you create an Account, we may verify your identity through a variety of means. For
instance, you may receive e-mail from us to verify ownership of the email address provided
when your Account was created;
- We may use your e-mail address information to provide you with administrative email
notifications, concerning your Account status or other transactions or activity associated with
our delivery of the Services;
- Provide the Services you request;

and for other marketing purposes of Elimold.
User Testimonials. We often receive testimonials and comments from users who have had positive
experiences with our Services. We occasionally publish such content. When we publish this content,
we may identify our users by their first and last name, company name and may also indicate their
home city. We obtain the user’s consent prior to posting his or her name along with the testimonial.
Creation of Anonymous Data. We may create anonymous information records from your
Specifications and any personal information we collect by excluding information (such as your name)
that makes the information personally identifiable to you. We use this anonymous information to
analyze request and usage patterns so that we may enhance the content of our Website and
improve our Services, including our pricing algorithms. We reserve the right to use anonymousinformation for any purpose and disclose anonymous information to third parties at our sole
discretion.
What happens when you do not provide necessary personal data?
Where we need to process your personal data either to comply with law, or to perform the terms of a
contract we have with you and you fail to provide that data when requested, we may not be able to
perform the contract we have or are trying to enter into with you. For example, we may not be able to
provide you with the functionalities of the Website (e.g., setting up your account or providing a quote)
or we may not be able to respond to or fulfil a request you make of us (e.g., for a demonstration of
the products).
In this case, we may have to suspend your Account, but we will notify you if this is the case at
the time.
Do We Share Your Information With Any Third Parties?

Privacy Policy.

third party service providers to: provide you with the Services that we offer you through our
Website; to conduct quality assurance testing; to facilitate the creation of accounts; to

- Sharing Customer Personal Information with Manufacturing Partners. In order to
manufacture the parts you order via the Services, Elimold may subcontract a Customer’s
manufacturing project to one of our Manufacturing Partners. As part of this process, we may
share your information with our Manufacturing Partners to enable them to manufacture the
parts, assemblies and other items disclosed therein.
- Sharing Manufacturing Partner Personal Information with Third Party Business Partners.
Elimold may also share Manufacturing Partners’ personal information with a limited number
of third-party business partners who enable us to deliver the Services for those
Manufacturing Partners who enroll in our payment or card programs. These third-party
business partners assist us in delivery of the card and payment programs to you. Examples
of these third-party business partners include payment processors, credit card network
services, and banks or financial institutions. The use of your personal information shared
with third party business partners will be governed by their privacy policies.

connection with or during negotiation of any merger, financing, acquisition or dissolution,
transaction or proceeding involving sale, transfer, divestiture or disclosure of all or a portion
of our business or assets. In the event of an insolvency, bankruptcy, or receivership,
personal information may also be transferred as a business asset. If another company
acquires our company, business or assets, that company will possess the personal
information collected by us and will assume the rights and obligations regarding the personal
information as described in this Privacy Policy.● Other Disclosures. Regardless of any of the choices you make regarding your personal
information (as described below), Elimold may disclose personal information if it believes in
