Privacy Policy for Farrow and Affiliated Companies
Farrow values the privacy of our customers, and is committed to protecting personal information. We typically collect company or your personal information with your consent through a web registration form, when you call a sales or support associate, or purchase products or services. At times, however, personal information is obtained from other sources, such as government bodies or third parties, as permitted by law. Except with actual or implied consent, or as permitted or required by law, Farrow will not sell or distribute personal information outside of Farrow and its current and future affiliated companies.

2. Personal Information
Personal information will be collected, used, stored and disclosed by Farrow, electronically or otherwise, only with the knowledge and consent of the individual to whom it relates.

In some cases, consent can be implied through an individual relationship or conduct with Farrow.
The purpose of collecting personal information will be expressly stated by Farrow whenever solicited, and will not be used for purposes other than those stated. Where the purpose for the collection of personal information is unclear, you can ask a Farrow representative with whom you are dealing to provide an explanation of the purpose for the data collection.
Personal information obtained by Farrow will not be shared with third parties, except as permitted or required by law and/or unless the actual or implied consent of the person to whom the personal information applies is obtained beforehand. Farrow uses third party service providers from time to time to carry out certain functions, and you consent to disclosure of your personal information to such service providers.
Information which Farrow treats as personal is all information that is identifiable to an individual or information that permits an individual to be identified. This includes the individual’s IP address and the information collected through Farrow’s web registration form, or sales or support associate.
