YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS SENSIENT TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION AND AFFILIATES PRIVACY POLICY
Your privacy is important to us, and we are providing this Privacy Policy to explain our policies regarding personal information that may be provided by visitors to our website. The “Personal Information” in this policy refers to information or a combination of information that you provide to us through the use of www.sensient.com or other websites of Sensient Technologies Corporation and its affiliates (“Sensient”) that can be used to uniquely identify you.
This Privacy Policy meets the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), applicable national, state and local laws regarding Personal Information, and all other requirements to which Sensient is subject.
The effective date of this Privacy Policy is May 25, 2018. Sensient reserves the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time. Notice of changes to this Privacy Policy will be communicated and material changes will be conspicuously posted on this website and will be effective immediately upon posting.

Collection and Use of Information
Sensient may collect information, as long as we comply with applicable laws. This includes both information that you share with us, as well as other information collected, for example through Internet Protocol (“IP”) addresses, web beacons, and the use of “cookies,” which may be placed on your computer when you access the website. (See the “Non-Personal Information” Section below). In addition, Sensient may use and share aggregated information that does not uniquely identify you when it enables Sensient to improve and enrich our services and website content.
Sensient may collect Personal Information about you (for example, requesting a combination of your name, telephone number, e-mail address, mailing address, or related information) in order to provide you with services, to communicate with you, to send you samples, information and materials, and for other business purposes to which you consent. Sensient will not sell any Personal Information about you to anyone, and will not transfer any Personal Information outside of other Sensient companies.
Non-Personal Information
Your Internet Protocol (“IP”) address is usually associated with the place from which you enter the Internet, like your Internet Service Provider or your company. Sensient may record the referring page that linked you to the Sensient website (e.g., another website or a search engine), the pages you visit on this website, the website you visit after this website, the ads you see or click on, other information about the type of web browser, computer, platform, related software and settings you are using, any search terms you have entered on this website or a referral website, and other web usage activity and data logged by our web servers. Sensient may also use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our servers, gather broad demographic and geographic information, and administer our website. Sensient may also link this information with your Personal Information when Sensient feels that it is necessary to enforce compliance with its rules and policies, terms of service, or to protect its website, customers or others.
Web beacons (sometimes called pixel tags or GIF’s) are Internet tools, such as transparent images on a website or in e-mails that we may send you that help us to determine, for instance, whether a page has been viewed or an e-mail opened. For example, when you ask us to send you information on a sample, promotion or newsletter, we may use web beacons to determine how many of the e-mails we sent were actually opened. In general, any electronic image viewed as part of a web page, including a banner ad, can contain a web beacon. Web beacons are not stored on your computer.
