Right to Limit Use and Disclosure of Sensitive Personal Information

You have the right to direct a business that collects sensitive personal information about you to limit the use of that sensitive personal information.

To exercise the rights described above, you must submit a verifiable request to us. You can do so by sending an email to GeneralCounsel@glatfelter.com or by completing and submitting an inquiry form through our “Contact Us” page. If you choose to submit your request to us by email, please be sure to include “Personal Data Inquiry” in the subject line of your email message or, if you choose to submit your request to us through our inquiry form, please be sure to select “Personal Data Inquiry” in the drop-down menu under the “Subject” section.

If you have an account with us, we will verify your identity by asking you to log in to your account if you have one with us.  If you do not have an account with us, we may ask for certain information to help us verify your identity. The information we ask you to provide to initiate a request may differ depending upon the type of request, the type, sensitivity and value of the personal information that is the subject of the request, and the risk of harm to you that may occur as a result of unauthorized access or deletion, among other factors.  We also may use a third-party verification provider to verify your identity.

If we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request, we will not be able to comply with your request. We will inform you if we cannot verify your identity or authority.

Do Not Track

Do Not Track (DNT) is a privacy preference that users can set in some web browsers, allowing users to opt out of tracking by websites and online services. At the present time, the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) has not yet established universal standards for recognizable DNT signals and therefore, Glatfelter and the Site do not recognize DNT.
