Your privacy is important to Iron Mountain

Iron Mountain web site privacy policy    

Policy last updated: 01 October 2013

This Policy is adopted by Iron Mountain Information Management of 745 Atlantic Avenue, Boston, USA and its participating European subsidiaries, holding companies and joint venture partners which are part of the Iron Mountain service system, and other entities which directly or indirectly are controlled by Iron Mountain (each an “Affiliate“, with Iron Mountain and its Affiliates being collectively referred to as Iron Mountain).

Iron Mountain understands your concerns about the privacy of data you may submit through this Iron Mountain Web site (“Site“). This policy provides you information about what type of information is gathered and tracked on the Site, how the information is used, and with whom the information is shared. You should also review Iron Mountain’s Privacy Principles set out below which contain our commitment to protecting our customers’ privacy, online and offline. In the event that any inconsistencies should arise with respect to this policy and the Privacy Principles concerning online privacy, the terms of this policy shall prevail.

THE INFORMATION WE COLLECT

Personal and Aggregate Information

Iron Mountain collects two types of information from users: “Personal Information“ (anything which identifies you as an individual, either on its own or by reference to other information) and “Aggregate Information“ (non-personally identifiable and anonymous data).

Personal Information (such as your name, address, telephone number, or email address) is collected when you voluntarily submit it through a Site form, such as during a request for product information or a download of a study or whitepaper. Other information that may also constitute Personal Information (such as your browser type, operating system, IP address, domain name, number of times you visited the Site, dates you visited the Site, and the amount of time you spent viewing the Site) may be collected via cookies and other tracking technologies (such as transparent GIF files). Aggregate Information (such as how many times visitors log onto this Site) may also be collected.

Please read this policy carefully to learn how you can verify the accuracy of any Personal Information we have concerning you and how you can request that Iron Mountain stop using or update your Personal Information. You can also change your contact or marketing preferences at any time by contacting us as set out in this policy. By providing your Personal Information to Iron Mountain via this Site, you agree to the terms and conditions of this policy.

How we use the information we collect  

The Personal Information collected through this Site will not be used for any other purpose than provided by this policy. We will use the information you supply:

(a) to answer your specific inquiry. For example if you contact us with a technical question, we will use your contact information and technical information to resolve the issue;

(b) at your option, to send you additional marketing materials relating to Iron Mountain. We will only send you such materials if, when you are presented the option at various points on our Site, you “opt in” to receiving them. In case you have not given your “opt in” consent to be contacted by Iron Mountain, your Personal Information will be retained on a “do not contact” list. Your Personal Information will be stored by us only as long as you do not change your mind to receive such materials from Iron Mountain, in order to avoid the future contact with you for marketing purposes;

(c) to administer and enhance the Site;

(d) for our general business purposes, such as the administration of your customer account, or marketing or sales purposes;

(e) in connection with a proposed or actual sale, merger or transfer of all or a portion of a business or division;

(f) to satisfy legal or regulatory requirements; and

(g) as otherwise described in this policy.

In order to provide you with a better service, we would like to use your Personal Information to provide you with information about products and services which we think may be of interest to you.

We will only send you emails/SMS/faxes where you have given us your prior express consent to receive such communications (“opt in”). We may send you mailings by post or call you unless you have told us that you do not want to be contacted in this way.

If you opted to receive any communications from us and any of our Affiliates at the time you registered on this Site, but subsequently change your mind, you may opt out at any time via this form or by writing to the Vice President for Privacy and Compliance at Support.

How we use information collected through cookies and other tracking technologies

A cookie is a small text file that is downloaded to your computer when visiting a web site.  It allows that web site to recognize your computer when you return, enabling it to display personalized settings and other user preferences.  Cookies also help web sites improve the relevance of the advertising you see online.  Other tracking technologies (including “web beacons” and “transparent GIF files”) are technical mechanisms that enable our service providers to gather information on your response to our advertisements, e-mails, and other online marketing materials. 

Our Cookie Policy gives you more detail on what type of cookies Iron Mountain places on its websites as well as information as to how to manage your cookies.

The information we disclose

Iron Mountain will at all times comply with the local applicable data protection legislation.

We and our service providers (as defined below) disclose and share your Personal Information:

  • Among Iron Mountain and our Affiliates;

  • To third party service providers (“Service Providers”) that perform services for us or on our behalf (including those which may process job applicant information, host investor relations content, provide courier services, or distribute marketing materials). Such Service Providers are required to handle your Personal Information in accordance with applicable laws and principles related to privacy and data protection;

  • For credit card payments we employ WorldPay to process these payments on our behalf. WorldPay will only have access to the Personal Information which you provide directly to them when you make a credit card payment. They are required under their contract with us to process this Personal Information securely and in accordance with all relevant Data Protection laws. We will not collect or store any credit card details; World Pay being the sole data controller of that data. When you pay for any goods, you will be taken to a link to WorldPay’s website in order to conclude the sale.

Any access to such information will be limited to the purpose for which such information was provided to us or our Service Providers. Iron Mountain’s Affiliates and Service Providers are located throughout the world. Accordingly, your Personal Information may be sent to countries which have different levels of data protection laws than your country of residence. For instance, if you inquire about services we provide in France and in Brazil, we will forward your inquiry to our office in such countries. By requesting information regarding services in a country outside your residence, you thereby consent to the transfer of your Personal Information to that country. We will, at your request, provide you with details of companies and countries to which your information has been sent.
