HOW WE PROTECT, STORE, AND TRANSFER YOUR INFORMATION We use a combination of physical, technical, and organizational safeguards to protect your personal information. These measures are adapted to the volume and sensitivity of the information, the purposes for which it is used, and the format in which it is stored, and include the following: * A privacy framework governing the protection of personal information throughout its lifecycle. This framework defines the roles and responsibilities of our personnel, provides a process for dealing with complaints regarding the protection of the information, and addresses the retention and destruction of personal information. * Internal policies and procedures that define the roles and responsibilities of our employees throughout the information life cycle and limit their access to such information on a “need-to-know” basis. * Technical safeguards such as encryption, firewalls, passwords, antivirus software, and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology to protect information transmitted over the internet. For example, when you place orders on our websites or through our mobile applications, all of your order information, including your credit card number and delivery address, is transmitted through the Internet using SSL technology, which causes your browser to encrypt your order information before transmitting it to our secure server. SSL technology, an industry standard, is designed to prevent someone other than operators of our websites from capturing and viewing your personal information. * A designated Privacy Officer to monitor our compliance with applicable privacy laws. * Employee privacy and data security training. While we use appropriate means to protect our websites and your information, the Internet is not 100% secure. The measures we use are appropriate for the type of information we collect. We cannot promise that your use of our websites or mobile applications will be completely safe. We encourage you to use caution when using the Internet. Online access to your personal information is protected with a password you select. We strongly recommend that you do not share or re-use your password and that you use unique passwords for all of your online accounts. DATA RETENTION We retain the personal information we collect for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes set out in this Privacy and Security Statement or when the information was collected, unless a shorter retention period is required by law. We may retain personal information after our relationship with you ends. The length of retention may vary depending upon factors such as: * Recordkeeping or legal compliance requirements; * The need to resolve inquiries or complaints; * Operating, expanding, and improving our business; * The need to exercise or defend legal claims; * The need to prevent fraud, protect assets, and promote security; and * Protecting the rights or safety of you, us, or others. If we no longer require your personal information for any of these purposes, we will delete or anonymize it in accordance with applicable law, unless we are required or permitted by law to keep it for a longer period.

For Quebec residents, please note that it is possible that this information could be communicated outside Québec. This means that your personal information may be subject to the laws of those jurisdictions, which may include laws that permit or require disclosure of personal information to government agencies, courts and law enforcement. We take reasonable steps to ensure that our Affiliates and service providers comply with applicable laws and maintain appropriate safeguards for your personal information wherever it is used or stored. 12.

The tools that we, our vendors, and third parties use include: * Browser cookies. Cookies are small text files that websites send to your computer or other connected device to identify your browser or to store information or settings. They can store information about your preferences and activities, such as login information, shopping cart items, language preferences and pages visited. We use both session cookies (which expire when you close your browser) and persistent cookies (which remain on your device until they expire or are deleted). We also use first-party cookies (set by us) and third-party cookies (set by advertisers, analytics providers and other third parties). Your browser may provide the ability to be notified when you receive certain types of cookies and how to restrict or disable certain cookies. * Server logs, which record information about the device, browser, operating system, network, and other resources you use to access our digital services * Web beacons and pixels. These are small electronic images deployed on websites and emails that collect information about how users interact with content. They are used to measure the effectiveness of our communications and marketing campaigns and to analyze how users interact with our digital services. Web beacons may also be used by some of our advertising partners and analytics providers to track activity on our digital services, such as the pages users visit, the links they click, and the content they view. * Application software. Software in our mobile and other connected-device applications collects information about how you interact with the digital services HOW WE USE COOKIES AND SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES We and our partners use cookies and similar technologies to improve the performance of our services, to analyze user behaviour and interests and to personalize our services and marketing communications.

These ads may be displayed on websites or device applications operated by us or third parties, and they may be based on information about your activities or preferences collected by us or third parties. For example, if you visit another website and provide your postal code, you may see advertising for products available at The Home Depot Store near you on another website. We work with third parties to monitor and optimize ad delivery so that you don’t receive the same ad too many times and to help determine whether you were interested in the ads. As noted above, these third parties collect information with their own cookies, pixels, and related tracking technology.

For example, you can ask to opt-out of interest-based advertising delivered by third-party advertisers and ad networks who are members of the Digital Advertising Alliance of Canada (DAAC) by using the DAAC’s AdChoices tool (http://youradchoices.ca/choices/). Some of the social media platforms we work with may serve you with interest-based advertising on their platforms.

When you opt out of receiving targeted advertising, you may still see general audience advertising regarding our products and services.

For example, if you opt out of targeted advertising and visit a do-it-yourself website, you may see advertising on the website that promotes products and services related to the content.

The Facebook SDK also allows us to collect certain information about your use of our mobile applications, such as your IP address, browsing history, and device information. This information may be used by Facebook to provide analytics to us and to personalize and improve your experience with our mobile applications. In addition, Facebook may correlate this information with people who use its products to improve the effectiveness of ad delivery models and determine the relevance of ads to people. Facebook may also use this information to personalize the features and content (including ads and recommendations) that it shows people on and off its platform.

For many devices, you can disable our collection of location information in the settings menu of your device or via device portals. OUR “DO NOT TRACK” POLICY Some browsers have a “Do Not Track” feature that lets you tell websites that you do not want to have your online activities tracked. These browser features are not uniform, so we are not currently set up to respond to those signals. 16.
