Legal Basis for Processing Information:
PLUS processes your Personal Information based on the following legal bases:

In addition to the above scenarios, there may be certain features of PLUS’s services that allow you to provide additional information to us directly, which may include:
How Do We Protect the Security of Your Information?
Note that we do not directly collect or store any payment and/or billing information. If you enter credit card payment information (for example, American Express, MasterCard, or Visa information) to purchase PLUS services or products, that information is encrypted and protected with industry-standard encryption software. PLUS currently uses Secure Socket Layer technology (SSL) to protect such information and ensure that credit card transactions are secure.
We protect our databases with various physical, technical, and procedural measures and we restrict access to your information by unauthorized persons. Our information systems are maintained behind a software firewall to isolate them from access by other networks connected to the Internet. All information transmitted through PLUSnxt.com is stored on our secure server. We use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology, which is the electronic commerce standard for securing information as it travels over the Internet. SSL technology is designed to encrypt your information, preventing an unauthorized party from viewing and downloading your information. Your web browser should display a web address with an "https" prefix, indicating that the SSL technology is operating when using certain portions of our website.
(a) Information Provided Directly to PLUS
In some instances, we may process and/or receive personal information from third parties or third-party sources, such as:
Please note that we do not control or operate the Social Media Platforms or the use of your information by the providers of the Social Media Platforms and/or other users of the Social Media Platforms. You should review the privacy notices for any Social Media Platforms you use to understand how they collect, use, share, and protect your information.
(b) Usage Information; Cookies & Targeted Advertising
(1) Usage Information, Cookies, and Similar Technologies
When you visit our site, we collect anonymous system information about your computer, such as your IP address. Like many other websites, we, or our authorized third-party service providers, automatically collect technical and/or analytics information about how you use and/or interact with our Website (“Usage Information.”)
Usage Information may include (but is not necessarily limited to) identifiers, commercial information, and internet activity information such as IP address (or proxy server), mobile device number, device and application information, identification numbers and features, your approximate location (as determined through your IP address), browser type, plug-ins, integrations, Internet service provider or mobile carrier, the pages and files viewed, website and webpage interactions including searches and other actions you take, websites, apps and/or ads that referred you to the website, advertising and language preferences, operating system type and version, system configuration information, date and time stamps associated with your usage, and frequency of visits to the websites, and details of which of our services or products you are using.
In certain areas of the site designated for specific customers, we require personal contact information (such as your name and email address) in order to provide account access and perform commerce-related and other online service activities. This information is usually requested in the registration and order forms set forth in those areas. If you obtain access to one of those designated areas, and you are required to log in, we will use a “cookie” to store your username. Cookies are small files that are placed on your hard drive by a website. They function as unique identifiers for your computer, but ordinarily cannot be used to specifically identify any individual, only machines. We may use cookies to identify our customers and better understand their browsing or usage patterns, as well as to enhance the experience of our customers at our site.
If consent for the use of such cookies and/or automated technologies is required by applicable laws or regulations in your location, then such cookies and/or automated technologies are only used by PLUS in this way if we have obtained such consent.
The non-personal data that we collect may include the pages you have visited, unique URLs visited within our web properties, browser type, and IP address. Most non-personal data is collected via cookies or other analysis technologies. The personal information and other data (including, Usage Information) collected by us, we process “Aggregated Data,” such as statistical or demographic data. Aggregated Data may be derived from personal information but is not considered personal information under the law if it does not directly or indirectly reveal your identity. If we combine or connect Aggregated Data with your personal information so that it can directly or indirectly identify you, we treat the combined data as personal information, which will be processed in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
2) Information Sharing and Targeted Advertising
We do not rent, sell, or exchange your names to third-party companies for their marketing purposes. We do provide your information to reputable organizations that help us to fulfill our customer transactions with you. For example, we use companies to verify and process credit card transactions, deliver packages, schedule and perform product installations, and administer service programs. We may share information with others who help us analyze sales data, maintain our records, and provide other services for PLUS, including professional service providers, such as auditors, lawyers, consultants, accountants, and insurers. We may also share your information with companies that act on our behalf and at our direction to notify you of additional PLUS products and services. These companies may also conduct customer satisfaction surveys and manage other customer services and benefits for us. These third parties are not authorized to use your information for any reason other than to perform their contractually assigned functions.
Information we collect about you, or your computer is used exclusively by PLUS to enhance and improve your visits to our site, or to provide you with requested information, products, or services. For example, when a customer submits credit card information to PLUS in order to place an online order, such personal information is used only for payment and shipping purposes. We may similarly share data with our affiliates and contractors in order to help us analyze such information, assess usage trends, improve site layout or design, or maintain or upgrade our software and web capabilities. However, no personal information is distributed to third parties for direct marketing or solicitation purposes.
3) How to Manage Cookie Preferences
Where required by applicable law, we will obtain your consent prior to setting cookies (except for strictly necessary cookies).
PLUS is committed to the preservation of online privacy for all of its visitors, including children. We do not knowingly collect information about children or sell products to children. In accordance with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act, we will not knowingly collect any information from children under the age of 13. Therefore, we ask that you do not provide us with any personal information about any person under the age of 13. If you are under the age of 13, you must ask your parent or guardian for permission to access, and to assist you in using any or all PLUS web properties.
PLUS does not require you to provide any personal sensitive data about your race or ethnicity, religious or philosophical beliefs, sex life, sexual orientation, political opinions, trade union membership, health and genetics, or biometric data to use PLUS’s services.
We do not seek to collect or otherwise process sensitive personal data but where we do so, it is on the following basis:
If PLUS or substantially all of its assets are targeted for merger or acquisition, customer information may be disclosed on a confidential basis as part of the due diligence or investigative efforts of the potential third-party acquirer or merger target or partner. In the event of any actual acquisition or merger, such information would be transferred as part of the transaction to the acquirer or in the merger.
This section applies only to California consumers. It describes how we collect, use, and share California consumers’ personal information in our role as a business, and the rights applicable to California residents. The California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) requires businesses to disclose whether they sell personal information. PLUS is a business, and it does not sell your personal information. As described above in this Privacy Statement, we may share personal information with third parties if those third parties are authorized service providers or business partners who have agreed to our contractual limitations as to the retention, use, and disclosure of such personal information. If you are unable to access this Privacy Statement due to a disability or any physical or mental impairment, please contact us and we will arrange to supply you with the information you need in an alternative format that you can access.
For purposes of this section "personal information" has the meaning given in the CCPA.
How we collect, use, and share your personal information:
We may have collected the following statutory categories of personal information in the past twelve (12) months:
The business purposes for which we collect this information are described in Section 3 of this Privacy Statement. The categories of third parties to whom we disclose this information for business purposes are described in Section 3 of this Privacy Statement.
Your California rights:
Right to access your personal information
You have the right to access the personal information that we hold about you in many circumstances, by making a request. If we agree that we are obliged to provide personal information to you (or someone else on your behalf), we will provide it to you free of charge.
Right to deletion
You have the right to have personal information deleted. The right is not absolute and only applies in certain circumstances. If you would like to exercise this right, please contact us as set out in Section 10 below.
Right to non-discrimination
The right to non-discrimination means that you will not receive any discriminatory treatment when you exercise one of your privacy rights.
How to Exercise Your California Rights
You can exercise your rights yourself or you can alternatively designate an authorized agent to exercise these rights on your behalf. Please note that to protect your personal information, we will verify your identity by a method appropriate to the type of request you are making. We may also request that your authorized agent have written permission from you to make requests on your behalf, and we may also need to verify your authorized agent's identity to protect your personal information.
To contact us to exercise your rights, please see Section 11 below.
We may transfer your personal data outside of the country in which it was collected and where the level of protection of personal data may be different than in your country. Personal data may be transferred to the United States of America, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and countries in the European Economic Area (“EEA”). If you are in the UK or the EU, we ensure your legal rights and protections accompany any transfer of your personal data outside the UK/European Economic Area (EEA) through the use of "standard contractual clauses," which provide the same protection as in the UK/EEA.
While the EU-US Privacy Shield Framework and Swiss-US Privacy Shield Framework were invalidated in July 2020, we remain committed to Privacy Shield requirements and have established alternative lawful transfer mechanisms. These measures position us to adhere to any potential new Privacy Shield framework in the future.
We limit the disclosure of personal data to employees and partners with a specific business purpose, complying with legal and regulatory requirements. In cases of lawful requests related to national security or law enforcement, we may disclose personal data using European Commission Standard Contractual Clauses (ECSCC).
When transferring your data, we rely on European Union Standard Clauses and relevant amendments to incorporate compliance with English and Swiss law. You can request a copy of our Standard Contractual Clauses by contacting us as indicated in Section 11 below.
As of June 2021, the European Commission has deemed the United Kingdom, Andorra, Argentina, Canada (only commercial organizations), Faroe Islands, Guernsey, Israel, Isle of Man, Jersey, New Zealand, Switzerland, Uruguay, Japan, and South Korea adequate in data protection. Therefore, we transfer personal data from the EU, Switzerland, or EEA member states to Canada or the UK based on this Adequacy Decision. We ensure compliance with data protection laws, relying on EU Commission adequacy decisions, contractual protections, or approved derogations, such as your explicit consent.
Personal information handled under this policy aligns with the EU-US Privacy Framework. We commit to addressing complaints related to personal data collection or use under this framework. EU and Swiss individuals with inquiries or complaints regarding our EU-US Data Privacy Framework compliance or requests for more information about international data transfers and safeguards we employ should contact us via Section 11 below.
