Northern Manufacturing Co., Inc. (“Northern Manufacturing”, “we”, “us”, or “our”)

Effective date: August 19, 2025

Northern Manufacturing respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect on our website, how we use and share it, and the choices you have. By using our site, you agree to the practices described here.

Quick summary

  • We collect information you submit (e.g., contact and RFQ forms), technical data from your device, and limited information from service providers (e.g., analytics).
  • We use it to respond to inquiries, prepare quotes, operate and improve the site, secure our systems, and—if you opt in—send you relevant updates.
  • We do not sell personal information and do not share it for cross‑context behavioral advertising (as defined by the CPRA).
  • You can manage cookie preferences via our cookie banner, and you can request access, deletion, or updates to your data at any time.

1) Who we are & scope

This Policy applies to personal information processed by Northern Manufacturing Co., Inc., 150 N Lake Winds Pkwy, Oak Harbor, OH 43449, USA, in connection with northernmfg.com and any related pages that link to it (the “Site”). It does not apply to third‑party websites that we link to.

For questions or requests, contact: [sales@northernmfg.com] or +1‑419‑898‑2821.

2) Information we collect

a) Information you provide directly

  • Contact & RFQ data: name, company, role, email, phone, project details, and any messages you submit.
  • Files you upload for quotes: drawings, CAD models, BOMs, specifications, and related materials.
  • Career inquiries: résumé/CV, work history, and other details you choose to provide.
  • Preferences: your communications choices and cookie/consent selections.

Please do not submit sensitive personal data (e.g., Social Security numbers, financial account details, health information). If we discover such data, we will delete it where feasible.

b) Information collected automatically

When you use the Site, we (and our service providers) may automatically collect:

  • Device & usage data: IP address, browser type, device type, OS, referring/exit pages, timestamps, pages viewed, and interactions.
  • Cookies & similar technologies: see Section 5 (Cookies) below.

c) Information from other sources

We may receive business contact information from service providers (e.g., form processors, analytics) or from publicly available sources (e.g., your company website or professional profiles) consistent with applicable law.

3) How we use information

We use personal information to:

  • Respond and provide services: answer inquiries, prepare quotes, fulfill requests, and manage customer relationships.
  • Operate and improve the Site: diagnose issues, analyze performance and usage, enhance content and navigation.
  • Security and fraud prevention: protect our Site, users, and systems.
  • Communications: send transactional messages (e.g., quote updates). With your consent or where permitted by law, send informational or marketing messages that may be useful to you (you can opt out at any time).
  • Compliance: meet legal, regulatory, tax, and audit obligations.

Legal bases (EEA/UK visitors)

Where GDPR/UK GDPR applies, our processing is based on: performance of a contract (responding to RFQs, providing services), legitimate interests (running a secure, effective business website), consent (non‑essential cookies/marketing), and legal obligations (record‑keeping, compliance).

4) How we share information

We share personal information only as needed and with safeguards:

  • Service providers (processors): website hosting and security, content delivery, form processing, file storage, analytics, email service, and CRM tools. These parties are contractually bound to use the data only to provide services to us.
  • Professional advisors: auditors, legal counsel, and similar advisors under confidentiality.
  • Legal compliance and protection: to comply with law, regulation, subpoena, or court order; to enforce our terms; or to protect rights, safety, or property.
  • Business transactions: in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets, subject to appropriate confidentiality and continued protections.

We do not sell personal information and do not share personal information for cross‑context behavioral advertising (CPRA). We also do not allow third‑party advertising cookies on the Site.

5) Cookies & similar technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to operate the Site, remember preferences, and understand how it’s used.

Types we use

  • Strictly necessary cookies: required for core site functions and security.
  • Functional cookies: remember choices (e.g., your cookie preferences).
  • Analytics cookies: help us understand Site performance and usage (e.g., Google Analytics 4). We configure analytics to respect your consent choices.

Your choices

  • Use the cookie banner (or “Cookie Settings” link in the footer) to accept, reject, or adjust categories that are not strictly necessary.
  • You can also control cookies via your browser settings.
  • For Google Analytics, you can learn more or opt out via Google’s tools.

If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal, we treat it as an opt‑out of “sale”/“sharing” where those concepts apply (we don’t sell/share, but we honor the signal).

6) RFQ files, CAD data & confidentiality

We treat files you upload (drawings, CAD, specifications) as confidential business information and use them only to evaluate, quote, or perform work for you. If you require an NDA, we can provide a standard mutual NDA upon request. Please avoid including personal data in technical files wherever possible.

7) Retention

We retain personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described above, including to meet legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. Typical examples:

  • RFQ/quote records & related files: retained for the quoting cycle and for a reasonable period afterward in case of follow‑up, dispute, or repeat orders.
  • Marketing contacts: kept until you unsubscribe or after a period of inactivity, then suppressed or deleted per our retention schedule.
  • Career submissions: retained consistent with applicable employment and equal‑opportunity laws.
  • Analytics data: retained per our analytics configuration.

When retention ends, we delete or anonymize the data.

8) Your choices & rights

Opt‑out of marketing

You can opt out of marketing emails at any time using the link in the message or by contacting [privacy@northernmfg.com]. We will still send transactional or service messages as needed.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority, but we encourage you to contact us first so we can try to resolve your concern promptly.

9) Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards appropriate to the nature of the data we process (e.g., encrypted transport (TLS), access controls, limited retention). No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure; please take appropriate care when sending information online.

10) Children’s privacy

Our Site is intended for business users and is not directed to children under the age of 13 (or 16 in the EEA/UK). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us so we can delete it.
