PRIVACY POLICY
MIDLAND TOPS/DOORS GROUP Global Internet Privacy Policy
For this notice, Midland Tops, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Doors Group, will be referred to as either Midland Tops, Doors Group, or Midland Tops Doors Group. Either, each or all shall have the same meaning concerning the organisation.
DOORS GROUP respects your right to privacy. This policy summarizes what personally identifiable information and other information we may collect, how we may use this information and other important topics relating to your privacy and data protection.
It is DOORS GROUP policy to comply with all applicable privacy and data protection laws. This commitment reflects the value we place on earning and keeping the trust of our customers, business partners and others who share their personal information with us.
This Policy applies to all Internet sites operated by or on behalf of DOORS GROUP and includes DOORS GROUP business units worldwide (each a “DOORS GROUP Internet Site”).
Web Site Privacy Statements
Although this Policy applies to all DOORS GROUP Internet Sites, each DOORS GROUP Internet Site has a different purpose and different features. If additional or different disclosures are required for a specific DOORS GROUP Internet Site, then we provide those disclosures on the site itself or provide a separate Web Site Privacy Statement posted on that site. Each disclosure or Policy Statement on the DOORS GROUP Web Site supplements and amends this Policy.
Your Consent
By using a DOORS GROUP Internet Site, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy. Whenever you submit information via this site, you consent to the collection, use and disclosure of that information as described in this Policy and any applicable Country or Web Site
Privacy Statements.
Information You Voluntarily Provide
DOORS GROUP collects the information you knowingly and voluntarily provide to benefit from a feature or participate in an activity on a DOORS GROUP Internet Site. For example, DOORS GROUP may collect your information so you may receive email alerts, when you complete a survey, or when you ask for product information, ask a question or email us with feedback. In many cases, this information may include a collection of personal information.
DOORS GROUP only uses your information for the purposes for which you provide it. For example, if you provide your e-mail address when you sign up to receive e-mail alerts, we use your e-mail address to deliver the e-mail alerts you request.
Many of the DOORS GROUP Internet Sites permit you to make choices about the use of your personal information. In most cases, we ask you to indicate your choices at the time and on the page where you provide your personal information.
We may also use the information we collect on DOORS GROUP Internet Sites for various business purposes such as customer service, fraud prevention, improving our products and services, or providing you and your company with information and offers we believe may be of interest to you. We may also remove all the personally identifiable information and use the rest for historical, statistical or scientific purposes.

This information typically includes the IP address of your Internet service provider, the name of your operating system (such as Macintosh® or Windows®) and the name and version of your browser (such as Internet Explorer® or Safari®). The information we receive depends on the settings on your web browser. Please check your browser if you want to learn what information your browser sends or how to change your settings.

Cookies
A “cookie” is a file of information placed on your device when you visit a website. Cookies and similar technologies can enhance your user experience by saving your preferences, personalizing your online experience, holding items in your shopping cart, and sometimes providing you with advertising which is tailored to your interests.
All of our DOORS GROUP Internet Sites use “session cookies”. A session cookie does not identify you personally and expires after you close your browser. For example, when you use the DOORS GROUP Product Catalogue, we place a session cookie to note what pages you have viewed. We can use this information to provide you with recommendations for other products that may be of interest.
Some DOORS GROUP Internet sites also use “persistent cookies”. These cookies do not expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies stay on your computer until you delete them or they expire. By assigning your computer a unique identifier, we can create a database of your previous choices and preferences that can be provided by us automatically, saving you time and effort on future visits. For example, after you make a purchase, if you decide to make another purchase, your shipping address may have been retained and will only need to be confirmed.
