This Privacy Notice explains how Crane Company (“Crane”, “we”, “us” or “our”) collects, uses, discloses, and otherwise processes personal information in connection with our services. This Privacy Notice is not a contract and does not create any legal rights or obligations, nor is it intended to set forth our privacy practices as they relate to Crane employees.

Region-Specific Disclosures

What is Personal Information?

When we use the term “personal information” in this Privacy Notice, we mean information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, to you. It does not include aggregated or anonymized information that is maintained in a form that is not reasonably capable of being associated with or linked to you.

Our Collection of Personal Information

From the first moment you interact with us, we are collecting personal information about you. Sometimes we collect personal information automatically when you interact with our services and sometimes we collect the personal information directly from you. We may also collect personal information about you from other sources and third parties, even before our first direct interaction.

We collect the following personal information you provide in connection with our products and services:

• Contact Information, including but not limited to your first and last name, phone number, email address, mailing address and state and country of residence.
• Professional Information, including but not limited to your title, company name, professional background and the nature of your relationship with us.

If you choose to contact us, we may need additional information to fulfill your request or respond to your inquiry. We may provide additional privacy disclosures where the scope of the inquiry/request and/or personal information we require fall outside the scope of this Privacy Notice. In that case, the additional privacy disclosures will govern how we may process the information you provide at that time.
