For example, we collect personal information through your registration for an account and purchase of the Keter Products; when you use or visit Keter Websites; when you participate in a Keter sales event. We may also receive Personal Information from our third-party partners. If you are a Keter partner or supplier, we may also collect your personal information. If you have other agreements with Keter, then those agreements control with respect to their subject matter. 

We also collect information that you voluntarily provide by subscribing to Keter marketing communications, registering for events, or providing testimonials for our use on our Websites or other promotional materials. Information you directly provide to us include your personal identification data (for example, name, surname) and contact information (phone, email, address, country). Additional transaction and billing information is also required when procuring Products.
