Privacy Policy

Last Updated: September 2026

L.B. Foster Company (“L.B. Foster”, “we”, “our” or “us”) prepared this Online Privacy Notice (“Privacy Notice”) to explain how we process and safeguard Personal Information (defined below) in different contexts using ethical and responsible practices that respect your privacy, as required by law.

This Privacy Notice applies to Personal Information collected on our Sites and any online platforms with a link to this Privacy Notice (collectively, the “Site”). It covers how we collect, use, share, and otherwise process Personal Information as of the date that this Privacy Notice is posted. It does not apply to any other information collected by us through any other means, including separate business or marketing activities. “Personal Information” refers to information that identifies or can identify you personally, including any information that identifies, relates to, describes, is capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular individual or its equivalent.

Personal Information We Collect

For public areas of our Site, we generally collect and process only Personal Information you voluntarily provide to us. For some secure areas of our Site, however, we may require you to provide Personal Information, including your login credentials. We may also collect your Personal Information to perform services on our Site, enhance the services offered to you, maintain and improve the Site, secure our Site, comply with legal obligations, and inform you about other services and products that may be available through L.B. Foster, our affiliated companies, and our marketing partners. If you choose not to provide us with the Personal Information that is legitimately required, we may be unable to provide you with the information or services you have requested. Public areas of our Sites ask for Personal Information from you when you engage in the following activities:

Inquire or request general information about our services
Apply for a job
Sign up for newsletters or submit comments, reviews, or other content
Request customer or technical support

Personal Information may include any or all of the following:

First and last name;
Postal or billing address;
E-mail address;
Telephone or mobile number;
Location via IP address;
Device being used (for our mobile Site);
Previous login history with our Site; and
Other relevant data, including any information you provide when contacting us.

Even if you do not send us any Personal Information, we may collect certain non-personal information about how you use our Site. This non-personal information cannot reasonably be used to identify you and is used for statistical purposes.

Information Collected Through Technology

We may also obtain information in other ways through technology. Some of this information may be linked to you personally. We process this information to help our Sites function correctly and better understand the needs of our customers.

Device Information. Depending on the permissions you have granted and other factors, we may receive information about your location and your mobile device, including a unique identifier for your device. Examples of device information we collect includes gathering of IP addresses which we use for enhanced security. In addition to security and approximate location, certain business-identification providers use your IP address to identify the organization or employer you are associated with, for our business-to-business marketing (see "Tracking technologies that do not use cookies" below).

In addition to cookies (described in our Cookie Policy), we and our providers use technologies that do not store information on your device, but still process certain information about your visit:

Website analytics (Plausible). We use Plausible, a privacy-focused analytics service that does not use cookies and does not track you across other websites. It collects aggregate information such as the page visited, the referring page, and your approximate country, browser and device type. Your IP address is used to derive this information but is not retained by Plausible.

Tag management (Google Tag Manager). We use Google Tag Manager to load and manage the tags and scripts on our Site. It does not store information on your device; the tools it loads are, instead, governed by your consent choices.

Business (B2B) identification (Lead Forensics and related providers). We use LeadForensics, a reverse-IP lookup service that uses your IP address to identify the business organization you are associated with, for our business-to-business marketing and sales purposes. In providing this service, Lead Forensics may load or share information with further identity and advertising partners - including LiveIntent, Demandbase, Company-Target, and usbrowserspeed - which use IP addresses and online identifiers for identity resolution and advertising. These technologies are used only where you have given consent.

Website translation (Weglot). We use Weglot to provide translated versions of our Site. Weglot receives the page address in order to deliver translations. It does not set cookies and stores no information on your device; your language selection is carried in the page address.

How We Use Personal Information

Whatever the purpose may be – whether we share with service providers, consultants, government authorities, or other external entities – we only process and share your Personal Information to the extent reasonably necessary to fulfill your requests and meet our legitimate business and legal objectives. We do not share your Personal Information with unaffiliated third parties solely for their own direct marketing purposes. We do not sell your Personal Information. When we disclose Personal Information to external entities to perform support services for us, we establish by contract that they may access your Personal Information only for the purposes of performing those support services. We may also use what we know about you to potentially offer you other products and services in the future. We may combine your online information with information collected from offline or online sources, or information we already have. We may also use and disclose certain Personal Information to our affiliated companies and others for any purpose allowed by law.

Business Activities. We generally process and may disclose your Personal Information to others to:

Verify your identity or other fraud prevention measures and reporting obligations
Monitor inbound calls for training and quality enhancement purposes
Perform certain transactions initiated by you
Respond to your questions about our products or services
Perform Site analytics
Send you communications about a program or service, ads and promotions, electronic newsletters, or other marketing activities
Comply with applicable law, obey judicial orders, cooperate with law enforcement authorities, or prevent any suspected illegal activities
Help us run our business
For any other everyday business purposes, such as product development and Site administration

Authorized Service Providers. L.B. Foster uses other companies and individuals to perform certain functions on our behalf. We may disclose certain Personal Information to these companies and other individuals performing services in the United States or other locations where we conduct business. For example, when you submit a form on our Site, (e.g., contact, inquiry, or newsletter form), the information you provide (such as your name, email address, telephone number, and the content of your message, together with any marketing preferences you indicate) is sent to and stored in our customer relationship management platform, ActiveCampaign, which we use to respond to your inquiry and, where you have opted in, to send marketing communications. We also use your IP address at the point of submission to help prevent spam and abuse. We also use Laravel Nightwatch, an application-performance monitoring service, to help us maintain the performance, security and reliability of our Site. It receives technical information about requests made to our Site, which may include page addresses, error diagnostics, and IP addresses.

Sale of the Business. If L.B. Foster sells all or part of its business, Personal Information may be transferred to the purchaser in connection with that transaction. We will use reasonable efforts to include contractual provisions that require the purchaser to treat your Personal Information consistently with the terms of this Privacy Notice.

Other Disclosures. We may disclose Personal Information as permitted or required by law, when we believe in good faith it is necessary for safety purposes, required for legal reporting, to protect our legal rights or enforce our Site’s terms and conditions or any applicable rules, or to protect the rights of others. We may also disclose Personal Information to our auditors, legal advisors, or to respond to a subpoena. Any access to your Personal Information is restricted to those individuals who have a need to receive or access this data in order to fulfill their job responsibilities. We may also aggregate information that we gather about you (e.g., traffic patterns) and provide these statistics to others in aggregate form.

Your Privacy Rights

Certain jurisdictions confer specific privacy rights on individuals, some of which are listed below. We will address those rights as required by applicable laws.

Right of access: You may have the right to obtain confirmation as to whether Personal Information concerning you is processed, and to request access to the Personal Information. The access to information includes, among other things, the purposes of the processing of Personal Information, the categories of Personal Information concerned, and the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the Personal Information has been or will be disclosed. This is not, however, an absolute right, and the interests of other individuals may restrict your right of access.

Opt-out right. You may opt out of certain data processing, including the right to opt out of the “sale” of your Personal Information, and the “sharing” of your Personal Information for cross-context behavioral advertising (e.g., targeted advertising).

Portability. Right to portability (gathering data from a controller in a machine-readable format with the ability to transmit to another controller).

Right to rectification. Right to correct inaccurate Personal Information that businesses have about you.

Right of restriction. You may ask us to limit the use and disclosure of sensitive Personal Information collected about you.

Equality. Businesses cannot discriminate against you for exercising your privacy rights afforded to you under state privacy laws.

Right of erasure. You may ask us to delete certain Personal Information we have collected from you, as long as it is not required for legal or regulatory purposes.

To exercise any of these rights, or to obtain more information about our privacy practices, please view the information below in the “Contact Information” section.

Cookies, Tracking, and Analytics

Our Site utilizes cookies and similar tracking technologies to analyze usage, personalize content, and deliver relevant advertising. In accordance with applicable law, we use and allow third parties to use essential and non-essential cookies, online tracking tools, web beacons, and similar technologies (collectively, “cookies”) on our Site. We process this information to help our Site function correctly and better understand the needs of our customers.

Cookies on our Site generally fall into the following categories:

Strictly Necessary Cookies: These are required for the operation of our Site. They include, for example, cookies that enable you to log into secure areas. These cookies are session cookies, which are erased when you close your browser.
Analytical/Performance Cookies: These allow us to recognize and count the number of users of our Site and see how those users navigate through our Site. This helps to improve how our Site works, for example, by ensuring that users can find what they are looking for easily. These cookies are session cookies, which are erased when you close your browser.
Functional Cookies: These improve the functional performance of our Site and make it easier for you to use. For example, cookies are used to remember that you have previously visited the Site and asked to remain logged into it. These cookies are session cookies, which are erased when you close your browser.

Controlling Our Tracking Tools. Your browser may give you the ability to control cookies. How you do so, however, depends on your browser and the type of cookie. Certain browsers or browser plugins can be set to reject all browser cookies. If you configure your computer to block all cookies, you may disrupt certain web page features and limit the functionality we can provide when you visit or use our Site (e.g., we will not be able to provide you with searches that you have asked us to save). You can change your cookie settings at any time.

Global Privacy Control. Additionally, we process opt-out preference signals from Global Privacy Control (“GPC”). GPC is a browser-level technical specification that you can use to inform websites that you opt-out of sales or sharing of data for cross-context behavioral advertising or targeted advertising. If you use GPC, our Site will treat the browser and device you use to access our Site as opted-out from sales or sharing, to the extent we engage in such processing. You may learn how to set up GPC by visiting https://globalprivacycontrol.org

Data Retention

We retain your Personal Information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Notice, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by a law that applies to us.

Minors

This Site is intended for use by adults. This Site is not intended or directed at individuals under the age of 18, and we do not knowingly collect any Personal Information from minors or knowingly track the use of our Site by children. If you believe we have impermissibly collected Personal Information from someone under the age of 18, please contact us directly.

Security

We implement a variety of technical, physical, and administrative security measures to secure the confidentiality of your Personal Information and to protect it from loss, misuse, alteration, and destruction. While we strive to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us, or to or from our services.

Changes to this Privacy Notice

We may amend this Privacy Notice from time to time. If we make any material change in how we collect, use, disclose, or otherwise process Personal Information, we will prominently post an updated Privacy Notice on our Site. Any changes to this Privacy Notice will be effective immediately upon posting of the updated Privacy Notice or as otherwise required by applicable law.
