Privacy Notice

At International Paper, our approach to privacy and data protection begins with our values: we are committed to doing the right things, in the right ways, for the right reasons, all of the time. International Paper and its affiliates (collectively, “International Paper,” “we,” “us,” “our”) are responsible for this website, including its mobile versions and designated mobile applications, and we are committed to respecting your privacy. 

An ethical approach. International Paper respects individuals’ privacy and values the confidence of its employees, customers, vendors, and others with whom we do business.

On your first visit to this site, a notification banner asked you to accept our use of cookies and similar technologies. If you reject or block cookies while using our systems, online portal or web pages, this could mean that your usage might be severely impaired or even become impractical. You may still remove our cookies once you have finished using our systems using your browser. We automatically collect basic technical information from all Website users – such as your IP address – through our automatic data collection tools, including cookies. Please see our Cookies Policy for more information

• Provide technical support and assistance with the Website
• Are engaged to market and distribute our products
•  Assist with our internal recruitment and may have access to personal data you provide to us

We have appropriate processing terms in place between us and the third parties, in order to be in compliance with applicable data protection laws.

Legal purposes. The servers used in the operation of the Website automatically identify a computer by its IP address. If we, in good faith, determine that you have or are attempting to misuse or harm the Website, we may investigate and cooperate with appropriate law enforcement agencies to protect our rights or property. Similarly, we may share your personal data as required or permitted by law to comply with a subpoena or similar legal process or government request. We may also share it when we believe in good faith that disclosure is legally required or otherwise necessary to protect our rights and property or the rights, property or safety of others. In such cases, we may share it with advisors, law enforcement agencies, judicial authorities and regulatory authorities. 

Acquisitions. We may also transfer your personal data to a third party that acquires all or part of our assets or shares, or that succeeds us in carrying on all or a part of our business, whether by merger, acquisition, reorganisation or otherwise. 
 

Our Website may contain links to other sites that International Paper does not control. We make every effort to link only to sites that share our high standards and respect for privacy. We recommend that you read the privacy notices of any other sites you visit as we are not responsible for the content of, or the privacy practices employed by, those sites.

International Paper is a global company with locations in many different countries. Consequently, we may transfer your information from one legal entity to another or from one country to another in order to accomplish the purposes listed above. These countries include the United States (which hosts the Website), member states of the European Union (“EU”), the United Kingdom, Canada and other countries. We will transfer your information in a manner that is consistent with applicable legal requirements and for the purposes stated above. 

To accomplish cross-border legal transfers of personal information, International Paper relies on EU Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission.

International Paper will retain personal information as long as needed to comply with our contractual and legal obligations. If there is no legal or contractual requirement for us to retain the information, we will only retain the data for as long as is required for the original purpose for which we collected it and for a reasonable period thereafter, including to deal with any claims or queries in connection with the  contract, if any. 

You have a choice about whether or not to provide International Paper with your personal information, but if you choose not to do so, International Paper may not be able to perform activities such as considering you for employment or providing information about our products.

Users in Europe. Individuals in Europe have certain data privacy rights that include the right to: 

• Request data regarding whether or not their personal data is being processed and, if so, the purpose for the processing
• Request access to their personal data
•  Request correction or erasure of their personal data
• Obtain restriction of processing or object to the processing of their personal data, and
• Ask us to provide a copy of their personal data to them or to a third party in a digital format

If you wish to exercise one of the above rights, please send your request via email to My-Privacy@ipaper.com. Individuals in Europe also have the right to raise a privacy concern about the processing of their personal data with their local data protection authority.

Users in California. California residents have certain rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”). Where the CCPA applies, you have the right to:

• Request access to your personal information that International Paper collects uses or discloses about you
• Request that International Paper delete personal information about you
• Opt out of the use or disclosure of your sensitive information, and
• Non-discriminatory treatment for exercising any of your data protection rights.

In accordance with the disclosure requirements of the CCPA, International Paper does not sell or share your personal information in exchange for monetary compensation. 
 

International Paper takes reasonable and appropriate precautions to protect personal data in our possession from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction, and to respond to the misuse, loss or unauthorized use of such data. When our Website provides links to third-party websites, we are not responsible for the security or content of those sites. Be sure to read that company’s privacy and cookie policies before providing your personal information on their site.

You are solely responsible for complying with all local laws, rules, and regulations regarding online conduct and Website access. If you are located in Europe, personal data collected from you, including via the Website, will be transferred to recipients in countries located outside Europe (including the United States, where this Website is hosted), which do not provide a similar or adequate level of protection compared to that provided by European countries. You hereby expressly consent to the transfer of your personal data to recipients, as described in this Notice, that are located outside of Europe. As noted above, we will transfer your data in accordance with legal requirements by entering into EU Standard Contractual Clauses, as necessary.

International Paper does not knowingly collect any data from children under 13 years of age through the Website. International Paper will specifically instruct children under 13 not to submit such information. We do not currently allow children under 13 to register for or participate in contests or promotions on the Website. However, if the parent or guardian of a child under 13 believes his or her child has provided us with personal data and wants it deleted, that parent or guardian should contact us to remove it from our systems. If International Paper discovers we have personal data about a child under 13 in retrievable form in our files, we will delete it. In addition, anyone under 18 years of age should get the permission of a parent or guardian prior to using or disclosing any personal data on the Website. Because International Paper’s Website is not directed to users under the age of 16, and in compliance with the disclosure requirements of the CCPA, International Paper does not sell the personal data of any minors under 16 years of age.
