Our  agreements with our service providers shall impose similar terms with respect to information  practices as set forth in this Privacy Policy, and will be not less protective than those imposed on  Donnelly Mechanical.

(E) Categories Of Personal Information We May Have Sold Or Shared In The Preceding 12 Months;  Categories of Third Parties To Whom Such Information May Have Been Sold Or Shared 

While under most circumstances Donnelly Mechanical’s information practices do not involve sale  or sharing of consumer personal information, some consumer privacy laws broadly define these and  similar terms. According to California consumer privacy law, a “sale” includes disclosing, making

available or communicating personal information to a third party (except our affiliates, service  providers or contractors) in exchange for monetary or other valuable consideration. “Sharing”  includes disclosing, making available or communicating personal information to a third party for  cross-context behavioral advertising, whether or not for any monetary or valuable consideration.

Under no circumstances does Donnelly Mechanical sell or share personal information we collect  from our customers, prospective customers, and website visitors (other than as disclosed under  Cookies below). Donnelly Mechanical does not sell or share the personal information of known  minors under 18 years of age.

Certain of our services to our customers and prospective customers may be deemed a “sale” or  “sharing” under applicable law. For example, we utilize web analytics services such as YouTube  (Google) to track the performance of our website, to understand our target audiences better and tailor  our content strategies accordingly. This data helps us identify areas for improvement and make  informed decisions to enhance our digital presence, to analyze traffic sources and measure the  effectiveness of marketing channels, allowing us to allocate resources effectively. Furthermore, we  can assess the performance of our content, identify popular pages, and create more valuable content  for our audience.

In the preceding twelve (12) months, we may have shared with or sold to third parties the following  categories of personal information:

  1. Categories of Personal Information Sold or Shared
  2. Internet or other electronic network activity information
  3. Categories of Third Parties to Whom the Information Was Sold or Shared
  4. Consumers have the right to opt out of the sale and sharing of personal information. To  exercise this right, please follow the instructions on our Do Not Sell or Share  My Personal Information link.

(F) Information On Consumers Under The Age of Eighteen (18) 

We do not knowingly collect any personal information from visitors or users of our website who are  under the age of 18. If you have reason to believe that a child under the age of 18 has provided  personal information to us, please contact us, and we will endeavor to delete that information from  our databases.

(G) Our Use Of Consumers’ Sensitive Personal Information 

Donnelly Mechanical does not collect or use “sensitive personal information” within the meaning of  the CCPA.

(H) Cookies And Similar Technologies 

Cookies are small text files placed on your device to store data that can be recalled by a web server in  the domain that placed the cookie. We use cookies and similar technologies for storing and honoring  your preferences and settings when accessing and interacting with our website, combating fraud,  analyzing how our website performs, customizing advertisements, and fulfilling other legitimate  purposes. We also may use “web beacons” to help deliver cookies and gather usage and  performance data. Our website may include web beacons, cookies, or similar technologies from third party service providers.

You have a variety of tools to control the data collected by cookies, web beacons, and similar  technologies. For example, you can use controls in your internet browser to limit how the websites  you visit are able to use cookies and to withdraw your consent by clearing or blocking cookies.

We may allow certain third parties, such as data analytics or online advertising service providers, to  collect your browsing activity on our website in a manner that may be deemed to involve a sale of  personal information under applicable law.

Through our use of these third party tools, we may have sold to such third parties the following  categories of personal information of our website within the last twelve (12) months:

  • Internet or other electronic network activity information

Depending on your state of residence, you may have the right to opt out of the sale and sharing of  personal information. To exercise this right, please follow the instructions on our Do Not Sell or Share  My Personal Information link.

(I) How Long Your Personal Information Will Be Kept 

We will keep your personal information while you have an account with us or while we are providing  services to you. Thereafter, we will keep your personal information for as long as is necessary:

  • To respond to any questions, complaints or claims made by you or on your behalf • To provide services as contracted for by you
  • To comply with legal obligations and to enforce our rights
  • To show that we treated you fairly
  • To keep records required by law

We will not retain your personal information for longer than necessary for the purposes set out in this  Policy. Different retention periods apply for different types of personal information. When it is no  longer necessary to retain your personal information, we will delete or anonymize it.

(J) Transfer of Personal Information Outside Of The United States 

Donnelly Mechanical may share personal information with its affiliates, service providers and other  third parties, some of which may be located outside of the United States. Personal information may  be transferred to, stored, and maintained on Donnelly Mechanical’s’ Group servers, some of which are located  outside of the United States. Donnelly Mechanical and its website are based in North America and  are intended for residents of the United States and Canada. If you are accessing our website from  outside of the United States, please be aware that information collected may be transferred to,  processed, stored, and used in the United States and in other locations other than your location of  residence. Data protection laws in other jurisdictions may be different from those of the United States  and provide a lower level of protection. Information transferred to the United States may be  accessed by government and law enforcement in accordance with the laws of the United States. Your

use of our website, or provision of any information via our website, therefore, constitutes your  consent to the transfer to and from, processing, usage, sharing, and storage of your information,  including personal Information both in and outside the United States as set forth in this Privacy  Policy.

(K) Websites Operated By Affiliates, Service Providers, And Third Parties 

Donnelly Mechanical’s website may include hyperlinks to websites or applications operated by third parties,  service providers and affiliates. These separately operated websites may use their own cookies, web  beacons, and other tracking technologies to independently collect information about you and may  also solicit personal information from you. For example, a service provider operates Donnelly Mechanical’s  job postings and application website, and visitors to that website who apply for a job may be asked to  provide personal information such as job and educational history, citizenship, disability information,  gender, and ethnicity, etc. Additionally, our affiliates operate their own websites, and may collect  personal information for additional business purposes, for example, completing financial  transactions related to services performed by an affiliate. Donnelly Mechanical is not responsible  for the privacy policies and practices, nor the content of websites or applications operated by  affiliates, service providers, and third parties, each of which has their own privacy policies. We  encourage you to read them. You agree that Donnelly Mechanical shall not be held liable for any  function or content of such websites or applications operated by affiliates, service providers, and  third parties.

Exercising Your Rights:

To exercise the rights described above, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us by either: Email:

info@donnellymech.com

Postal Address:

Donnelly Mechanical

96-59 222 Street

Queens Village, NY 11429

You may be limited in the number of verifiable consumer requests for access or data portability in any  given 12-month period (for example, twice per 12-month period for California residents). 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 a legally authorized representative.
  • Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and  respond to it.
  • Before responding to your privacy rights request, we must verify your identity. We will do so by  matching at least two reliable data points from your request to the information that we maintain  about you. For certain more sensitive personal information, we may require further verification,  including obtaining the consumer’s signed declaration under penalty of perjury to further confirm that  the requestor is the consumer. Once you contact us to exercise your rights, we will further guide you  as to our verification process.

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.

Authorized Agents:

Only you or a person that you or your employer 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 use an authorized agent to submit a privacy rights  request on your behalf if you provide the authorized agent a written permission signed by you. We  may also require you to do either of the following:

  • Verify your own identity directly with us.
  • Directly confirm with us that you provided the authorized agent permission to submit the request.

We may deny a request from an authorized agent if the agent does not provide to us your signed  permission demonstrating that they have been authorized by you to act on your behalf, or if you do  not confirm to us that you provided the authorized agent permission to submit the request.

The requirement to obtain and provide written permission from the consumer does not apply to  requests made by an opt-out preference signal.

Response Timing and Format:

We will acknowledge your request no later than ten (10) business days after receiving your request to  delete, request to correct, or request to know and provide information about how we will process the  request. The information provided shall describe in general our verification process and when you  should expect a response, except in instances where we have already granted or denied the request.

We shall respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) calendar days of its receipt. If  we require more time (up to ninety (90) days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period  in writing. If you have an account with us, we will deliver our written response to that account. If you  do not have an account with us, we will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your  option. 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. For example, in cases where requests from a consumer are distinctly unsubstantiated or  excessive, in particular because of their repetitive character, we may either charge a reasonable fee,  in our discretion, taking into account the administrative costs of providing the information or  communication or taking the action requested; or refuse to act on the request altogether.

(M) Global Opt Out Preference Signal 

Global Opt-Out Preference Signal or Global Privacy Control (GPC) is a feature available in some web  browsers that allows users to communicate their preference for not being tracked across websites.  Currently, only certain internet browsers (DuckDuckGo, Brave, Mozilla Firefox) or a separately  installed plug-in enable universal opt-out signals. While the Global Privacy Control and universal opt out signals are still developing, we are monitoring the status of implementation and are consistently  configuring our website to honor consumer’s opt-out signals.

Processing this signal typically involves several steps, including:

Receipt and verification of the signal: When we first receive the opt-out preference signal from the  consumer, we will verify that it is authentic and valid. This may involve confirming the identity of the  consumer, ensuring that the signal was sent from a valid email or other contact address, or using  other methods to ensure that the signal is legitimate.

Updating data systems: Once the opt-out preference signal has been verified, we will update our data  systems to reflect the consumer’s preferences. This may involve adding your name and contact  information to a “do not contact” list or other database, or marking your existing record in a customer  relationship management (CRM) system as opted-out.

Communicating changes to relevant parties: If your opt-out preference signal affects other parties  who have access to your personal information, such as third-party service providers or partners, we  will communicate the changes to those parties and ensure that they also update their data systems  accordingly.

Compliance monitoring: We will monitor our data systems and processes to ensure ongoing  compliance with your opt-out preference signal. This may involve periodically reviewing our data  systems to ensure that your preferences are being respected, and taking corrective action if  necessary.

If you want to turn on Global Privacy Control on your browser, you can follow these steps:

  1. Open your web browser and go to the settings or preferences menu. The location of this menu may  vary depending on the browser you are using.
  2. Look for the “Privacy” or “Security” section in the settings or preferences menu. 3. Scroll down to find the option for “Global Privacy Control” or “Do Not Track.”
  3. Toggle the switch to turn on Global Privacy Control. In some browsers, you may need to check a  box or select a radio button to enable this feature.
  4. Once Global Privacy Control is turned on, your browser will send a signal to websites that you do  not want to be tracked. However, it’s important to note that not all websites may honor this signal,  and some may continue to track your activity.
  5. To verify that Global Privacy Control is working, you can visit the website

https://globalprivacycontrol.org/ and check if it displays a message indicating that your browser is  sending the “Do Not Track” signal.

By turning on Global Privacy Control on your browser, you can have greater control over your online  privacy and limit the amount of information that websites and advertisers can collect about you.

(N) Keeping Your Personal Information Secure

Donnelly Mechanical has reasonable technical, physical and administrative security measures in  place to prevent personal information from being accidentally lost or used or accessed in an  unauthorized way. These measures offer an appropriate reasonable security level, taking into account  the state of the technology, the implementation costs and also the nature, the scale, the context and  the processing purposes. We limit access to your personal information to those who have a genuine  business need to access it. Those processing your information will do so only in an authorized  manner and are subject to a duty of confidentiality. The measures are also intended to prevent  unnecessary collection and further processing of personal information. The personal information is  contained behind secured networks and is only accessible by a limited number of persons who have  special access rights to such systems, and are required to keep the information confidential. We also  have procedures in place to deal with any suspected data security breach. We will notify you and any  applicable regulator of a suspected data security breach where we are legally required to do so.

(O) Disclaimer/Limitation Of Liability For Data Input Errors

Donnelly Mechanical is not responsible for any errors that are made by you in inputting data, nor for  data entered by someone using your credentials. PLEASE SECURE YOUR CREDENTIALS AND DO  NOT DISCLOSE THEM TO ANYONE ELSE. If your credentials are compromised, please notify us at  info@donnellymech.com.

Under no circumstances shall Equans North America be liable to you for, without limitation, the  website not being available for use, for lost or corrupted data, for errors in the information provided to  you, if any, or for the failure of data archiving. Except to the extent required by law, if any, Equans  North America will not be liable for any consequential, special, indirect, or punitive damages, even if  advised of the possibility of such damages, or for any claim by any third party.

(P) Changes To Our Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to amend this Policy at our discretion and at any time. When we make changes  to this Policy, we will notify you by email or through a notice on our website’s homepage.
