not permitted, your use of our Website, and any related dispute over privacy, is
subject to our Terms of Use. Where required by applicable law, we will first
obtain your consent before we collect, use, or disclose your Personal Data.
Throughout this Statement, we use the following defined terms:
* "3M," "we," "us," or "our" refers to the entity that is responsible for the
collection and use of your Personal Data (also referred to as a data
controller), which is usually the entity that originally obtains your

We and our service providers and Business Partners may collect information
about you by using cookies, web beacons, pixel tags, session replay and other
similar automated data collection tracking technologies (collectively,
"Cookies"). A Cookie is a bit of data that we can send to your browser when

emails we send to you.
Subject to your prior consent (to the extent required), we and our
third-party providers use cookies, clear GIFs/pixel tags, JavaScript,
local/session storage, log files, and other mechanisms to automatically
collect and record information about your browsing activities, and use of the
Services. We may combine this “activity information” with other personal data

please visit our Cookie Notice.
* DO NOT TRACK BROWSER SETTINGS
Certain web browsers and other programs may transmit “opt-out” signals, such
as the Global Privacy Control (or GPC) signal (“GPC Signal”), to websites
with which the browser communicates. For users that access our Websites from

the cookies for that Website, except for cookies that are necessary for the
Website to operate (“Strictly Necessary Cookies”). You can determine if your

cookie preferences for each browser and device you use to access our Websites
and Services. More information about GPC is available at:
https://globalprivacycontrol.org/.

We will retain your Personal Data for as long as reasonably necessary or
permitted in light of the purposes for which it was collected, and as
described in this Statement or as otherwise disclosed to you at the time of
collection. How long we keep your Personal Data varies and may depend on

* Whether retention is necessary or advisable due to applicable statutes of
limitations, litigation, or other legal, regulatory, accounting or

with you or others.
If Personal Data is either no longer necessary or relevant for the purposes
for which it was collected, or no longer required to be retained by
applicable laws, then we will take reasonable steps to have it deleted,
destroyed, erased, or, if permitted by applicable law, aggregated, made
anonymous, or de-identified.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR RESIDENTS IN CERTAIN JURISDICTIONS
SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION FOR RESIDENTS OF CERTAIN U.S. STATES (INCLUDING
CALIFORNIA)
* In this section, we provide additional information to residents in certain
U.S. states (including California) about the categories of Personal Data we
collect about you and your privacy rights under applicable privacy laws
including, where applicable, the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”).
This section does not address or apply to our collection and processing of
data that is exempt from applicable law, or information about our employees,
personnel, applicants and candidates.
Our collection, use and disclosure of Personal Data varies based upon our
relationship and interactions with you. The sections below briefly explain
our collection, use, and disclosure of Personal Data and are followed by a
chart showing how each category of Personal Data is typically used and
disclosed by 3M.
* COLLECTION OF PERSONAL DATA
As described above, under “How 3M Collects Your Personal Data”.
* USE AND DISCLOSURE OF PERSONAL DATA
We use Personal Data for the reasons described above, under “How 3M Uses Your
Personal Data,” including customer service, communication, fulfillment,
customer experience, personalization, direct marketing, promotions, and
security and integrity. We disclose Personal Data to our affiliates, service
providers, Business Partners, and for the purposes, including to support our
business operations, described above, under “How 3M Discloses Your Personal
Data.”
The chart below generally describes each category of Personal Data that we
collect, why we collect it, and who we may disclose it to, and reflects our
practices during the past twelve (12) months. We collect the types of
Sensitive Personal Information (as defined under the CCPA) about California
residents for the purposes described in the table below; however, we do not
collect, use, disclose or process Sensitive Personal Information about
California residents beyond the purposes authorized by the CCPA (pursuant to
Cal Civ. Code § 1798.121 and § 7027(m) of the CCPA regulations).
Certain privacy laws define a ‘sale’ as disclosing or making available to a
third-party Personal Data in exchange for monetary or other valuable
consideration, and ‘sharing’ broadly, including as disclosing or making
available Personal Data to a third party for purposes of cross-context
behavioral advertising. While we do not disclose Personal Data to third
parties in exchange for monetary compensation, we may ‘sell’ or ‘share’
Identifiers and Internet and Electronic Network Activity Usage Information to
advertising networks, data analytics providers and social networks. We do so
to improve and evaluate our advertising campaigns and better reach customers
and prospective customers with more relevant ads and content. We do not sell
or share Sensitive Personal Information, nor do we sell or share any Personal
Data about individuals who we know are under sixteen (16) years old.

If you are a resident of a U.S. state you may exercise your rights as
described above, under “Your Rights.”
In addition, we offer other ways for California residents to opt out of
‘sales’ and ‘sharing’ of their Personal Data. Our U.S. Websites responds to
global privacy control—or “GPC”—signals, which means that if we detect that
your browser is communicating a GPC signal, we will, subject to applicable
law, process that as a request to opt that particular browser and device out
of sales and sharing on our Websites. Certain residents may also opt out of
any cookie and pixel related ‘sales’ and ‘sharing’ or targeted advertising on
any of our Websites by adjusting your cookie privacy preferences for that
Website, in our cookie preference manager, which you can access by clicking
the “Privacy Choices” link, accessible in the footer of our Websites. Note
that if you come back to our Websites from a different device or use a
different browser on the same device, you will need to enable GPC or set your
cookie preferences for each browser and device you use to access our Websites
and services. More information about GPC is available at:
https://globalprivacycontrol.org/.
