This document is effective on April 12, 2004.
Spectrum Brands and its corporate affiliates and subsidiaries around the world ("Spectrum Brands") are sensitive to issues of privacy on the Internet. Spectrum Brands provides this policy so that users will know how Spectrum Brands treats the information it receives from users of this site, including what information is gathered, how it is used, and with whom it is shared. If a user does not agree with this policy and does not consent to the use of information as described in this policy, the user should leave the site immediately.
WHAT INFORMATION IS COLLECTED FROM YOU AND HOW IS IT USED?
Personal Information. We receive and store all information you enter on the Site or give us in any other way. This information may include information such as your first name, your last name, your postal address, your e-mail address, and your telephone number. The personal information we collect may be used by us to process a request that has been placed by you and/or for marketing Spectrum Brands products and services via email, postal mail and otherwise.
Automatic Information. We receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with us. This includes "cookies". A "cookie" is a small amount of data that is sent to your browser from a web server and stored on your computer's hard drive. They provide a means for web sites that you visit to keep track of your online patterns and preferences. Among other things, cookies help us identify returning users, and they help us customize our service to a user's needs. By understanding which areas of the Site a user visits, cookies allow us to present information, products and specials that are of personal interest. In addition to cookies, for each visitor to the Site, our web server automatically recognizes (where possible) certain information which may include the visitor's domain name and IP address, the type of computer used by the visitor, and the web browser used by the visitor. An IP address is a number assigned to your computer when you connect to the Internet. We may use such information for purposes of system administration, to improve the design and content of the Site, and/or to enable us to personalize your Internet experience. We also may use such information in the aggregate to analyze Site usage and/or to assess the traffic to the Site.
HOW IS THE INFORMATION COLLECTED SHARED?
As a matter of policy, we do not sell or rent any of your personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes without your consent. Such personal information is shared only as described in this Privacy Policy and with our affiliates that either are subject to this Privacy Policy or follow practices at least as protective as those described in this Privacy Policy. We do not sell or rent personal information to other organizations. We may share non-personally identifiable information about visitors to the Site in aggregate with third parties including advertisers, business partners, and sponsors, to analyze site usage and manage and improve our business relationships.
Business Transfers. We might sell or buy subsidiaries, or business units. In such transactions, personal information generally is one of the transferred business assets but remains subject to the promises made in any pre-existing Privacy Policy. Also, in the unlikely event that assets of Spectrum Brands are sold, personal information may be one of the transferred assets.
For Spectrum Brands' Protection and for the Protection of Others. We may disclose personal information about you or your use of the Site if we have a good faith belief that such action is necessary to (a) conform to legal requirements or comply with legal process, (b) protect and defend the rights or property of Spectrum Brands or its affiliated companies, (c) enforce the Terms of Use, and/or (d) act to protect the interests of our users or others.
With Your Consent. Additionally, we have the right to transfer your personal information if we give you notice that such information might be transferred to a third party, and you do not choose not to have such information transferred in the manner specified in such notice.
