ACCO Brands Corporation, including its affiliates (collectively, “ACCO Brands,” “we,” “us,” or “our company”), is committed to respecting your privacy. One part of doing that is being transparent to you about how we collect, use, store, transfer and disclose information you share with us. This notice explains our approach and also lets you know about the rights you have over your information.
If you have any questions regarding your information or this notice, you can reach us anytime at DataPrivacy@acco.com.
The key points of this notice that you should know are:
This notice explains how we use personal information—information that can be used to identify or contact an individual. It also explains how we use non-personal information—information that cannot, alone, be used to identify or contact an individual.
This notice applies to the website on which it is posted. It also applies to interactions with ACCO Brands via other channels, such as when you contact our customer support team or when we communicate with you on third party platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Twitch, Discord, Instagram, or YouTube. This notice does not apply to ACCO Brands websites with different privacy notices or to the practices of third-party websites and platforms.
The ACCO Brands entity listed in the “How can you contact us?” section below is the controller for your personal information.
We collect and process your information when you interact with our websites, interact with our social media accounts, purchase our products, use our internet-connected devices, contact our customer service employees, or interact with our company in another manner. The information we collect includes:
Beyond information that you actively provide to us, we also collect information passively via various technologies.
Cookies are small text files that websites save on our local device when you visit a site. This allows websites to do a variety of things, such as remembering site preferences, creating a record of a visitor’s online activity, or identifying what parts of a site are visited most often.
We use various cookies on our website to deliver the best experience to visitors. We are committed to being transparent about the cookies we use and giving you the ability to control what cookies are placed on your device.
More details about the cookies we use and how you can manage your cookie preferences is contained in this website’s Cookie Notice.
Pixel tags are tiny graphic images (also known as web beacons, action tags, or transparent GIF files). We use pixel tags to:
If you submit a digital photo or other file to us, it may contain metadata or precise geolocation. If you do not want to share this data, you should delete the data before sharing it with us.
Certain links in our emails and third-party websites may include tracking information embedded in the link. This tracking is accomplished via a redirection system that allows us to understand whether you clicked on the link and how the link is being used. In some cases, this non-personal information can be combined with personal information we have about you to improve our services and marketing campaigns.
In addition to information that we collect from you, we also collect information from third parties.
To support our marketing efforts, we sometimes collect from marketing providers lists of businesses that may be interested in our products, where permitted by local law. We use these lists to send marketing communications to relevant businesses. We also use these lists to append additional information to our existing customer lists or to ensure the accuracy of our existing customer lists. These lists can include any of the information mentioned above in the “What information do we collect from you?” section above.
When you log into social media platforms from this website, public information such as your username is shared with the social media platform, which may then in turn provide that information to us. We also use social media platforms to provide targeted advertising.
We sometimes work with marketing affiliates and providers under what is commonly called “affiliate marketing.” Affiliate marketing allows us to identify when individuals click a link or ad on a marketing partner’s website and then subsequently make a purchase on our site. We then provide the marketing partner a commission for the sales it generates. We do not share your personal information with the marketing affiliate, however. Affiliate marketing is achieved using the technologies in mentioned in the “What technologies do we use to collect information?” section.
We use your information for the following purposes:
We share your information with various entities around the world, including some in countries that have privacy laws that may differ from those where you are located. For all transfers, we ensure there are suitable safeguards, such as a legal adequacy decision, standard contractual clauses, binding corporate rules, and Privacy Shield certifications. Details are available upon request.
We may transfer your personal information to other brands and companies in the ACCO Brands group in order to process orders, sweepstakes or for other marketing activities. List of ACCO Brands Affiliates.
In some cases, ACCO Brands does not sell products directly to customers, but instead directs customers to make purchases from a reseller or dealer. Where requested, we may share your information with those entities to assist you, for example to facilitate having the reseller or dealer provide you with a price quote or product support.
We will also transfer the personal information described in the “What information do we collect from you?” section above to service providers, who will process information on behalf of ACCO Brands for the above-described purposes. These processors include providers of website hosting and maintenance, marketing database hosting, call center operation, consumer engagement, advertising, shipping, and logistics services.
We use analytic providers such as Google Analytics to analyze your use of our website. In this context, we transfer anonymized data about the use of our website to the analytics provider, which then compiles statistical reports for us about the use of our website.
For certain products, your personal information may be shared with third parties to provide additional functionality to those devices. For example, some products include voice control functionality via services like Amazon Alexa. In those cases, the collection and use of your data is controlled by the voice control provider, not ACCO Brands. We do not collect any personal information from these processes and do not collect or store any audio recordings.
At various places on our websites we have implemented social network/ social media features. These features include:
The providers of the features above may use embedded content to identify you, the source of a visit and how you use our website.
When you use the recommendation functions, this communicates the URL of the respective website to the social network you have selected. A number of networks then immediately supplement the link with an excerpt of the content provided by our website. With most social networks, you are asked for confirmation before this is saved or forwarded.
We have integrated social media tools from social media providers such as: Facebook™, Twitter™, YouTube™, LinkedIn™, and Instagram™.
Please note that we do not have control of how these entities deal with the information you share with them and whether this information is made available to others. We recommend that you read their privacy policies carefully.
We may disclose your information when required by law to do so, such as when information is subject to a subpoena or court order, or in furtherance of ACCO Brands’ legal interests, such as when defending or pursuing a legal claim.
If our business or a part of our business is sold or integrated into a different company, we may disclose your information to our advisors and to the advisors of the potential purchaser and will pass such information on to the new owners of the company.
