Our Collection and Use of Personally Identifiable Information
Personal Data We Collect
TRU's supplier registration process is designed to collect information
about your company's qualifications as a potential TRU supplier. When you
choose to participate in the TRU supplier registration process, you will
be asked to provide TRU with information about your company and its
capabilities together with certain Personally Identifiable Information.
Personally
Identifiable Information includes, but is not limited to, the following:
- First and Last Name;
- Contact Information for key personnel, such as phone numbers or mailing addresses;
- Email addresses; and
- Other relevant information disclosed during the supplier registration process.
TRU collects and stores the Personally Identifiable Information that you provide (including but not limited to, information submitted during the supplier registration process) on third party servers located in the United States.
Retention and Deletion of Your Personally Identifiable Information: TRU retains your Personally Identifiable Information only as long as is necessary for supplier evaluation purposes and/or during the supplier relationship if established following the evaluation process.

- For Potential Suppliers Located Outside the United States: Your company profile, including Personally Identifiable Information, will be retained only as long as necessary to complete the supplier evaluation process (generally 6 months) unless a business relationship is established following the evaluation process and you are identified as a point of contact for the ongoing relationship.
How We Use The Personal Data We Collect
The
Personally Identifiable Information that you provide will be used to
assist us in matching your company's capabilities to TRU supplier
requirements. This Personally Identifiable Information will also be used
to contact and identify you throughout the supplier evaluation process.
For example, TRU may contact your company, using the contact information
you have provided, for purposes of completing your Supplier Profile. In
addition, you may be contacted about other procurement-related issues.

Information to others.
Access to your Personally Identifiable
Information will be restricted to TRU staff and designated third party
agents who have a need to know the specific information in question in
order to carry out their responsibilities with regard to TRU's procurement
process. Your information may also be disclosed to governmental entities
pursuant to and in compliance with applicable laws and regulations, or a
subpoena or court order.
We do not reveal Personally Identifiable
Information about you to unaffiliated third parties, unless:
- you request or authorize it;
- the information is provided to help complete a transaction for you;
- the information is provided to comply with the law, applicable regulations, court orders or subpoenas, to enforce our Terms of Use or other agreements, or to protect our rights, property or safety or the rights, property or safety of our users or others (e.g., to a consumer reporting agency for fraud protection etc.); or

Child Privacy
Because of the nature of our business,
our products and services are not designed to appeal to minors, and
therefore we do not knowingly attempt to solicit or receive any
information from children. Our terms and conditions of use require that
any registration may only be made by those age 18 or older and that any
product or service purchases may only be made by those age 18 or older. If
we have reason to believe that information is being provided by a child
under the age of 18, TRU will not collect the information without parental
consent or parent notification, which will include the opportunity for the
parent to prevent the use of the information or to prevent the child's
participation in the activity. Without parental consent, online
information will only be used to respond to an unsolicited request and for
no other purposes. We recognize that protecting children's identities and
privacy online is important and that the responsibility to do so rests
with both the online industry and with parents.
No Contract
This Privacy Statement does not
constitute a contract between TRU and any supplier or potential supplier.
