Last Updated: January 7, 2025

This Privacy Notice explains how Crane Composites (“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 Composites employees.

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.

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.
