Privacy Policy
Our purpose is to enrich lives through technology. We will only collect, use, or share your personally
identifiable information for that purpose. And we would not transfer your
personally identifiable information to anyone else. Personally identifiable information. We use the term
“personally identifiable information” in these highlights to mean information that identifies, or that can
reasonably be linked to a person. We use the stand-alone
term “information” to include all types of information, including personally identifiable information.
Collection
First, we may collect information directly from you. This could be as part of your interactions with our company
personnel, such as at our retail stores or during in-home visits, or when you provide information via our
digital properties such as websites or mobile apps.
Second, we will collect such information by observing behavior — either in the “real world” or through our
digital properties like websites and mobile apps. Examples include security cameras at a retail store, our
websites tracking visitor activities on our sites, or our digital properties collecting the characteristics of
the visiting devices.
Finally, we may obtain such information from independent third parties, independent of you.
Use
We will use your information to meet your expectations and give you a great experience with our company. For
example, that could be to fulfill a purchase, provide a service, make our digital properties run better, or
maintain our My company® program. And remember when we said above that our purpose is to enrich lives through
technology? In order to do that, we’ll want to tell you about technology and other products and services that we
think you’ll find useful. That means we’ll use information to try figure out what will be useful (or just fun
and interesting) to you and others, or we’ll develop new or different products and services. And if we think
we’ve found something you might like, we’ll use information to place or send marketing messages to you that
highlight our ideas, and we’ll monitor your response to that message.
Sharing
If you post something on a public forum on one of our digital properties, it should come as no surprise to you
that it may be viewed by the general public. We may share your personally identifiable information with
suppliers or business partners to fulfill your
requests or perform on our behalf a contract that we have with you. Sometimes we share information with
suppliers and business partners for internal company uses. The easiest
examples of what we mean by this relate to information technology — they may be processing personally
identifiable information, but we make sure we have contracts in place requiring that they only use the
information in support of our company. We also may share personally identifiable information in an attempt to
enforce our legal rights, in response to a request from law-enforcement authorities, and when we are required to
do so by applicable law. Also, please note that if we think that sharing personally identifiable information is
going to protect our company or others from harm, that’s what we are going to do. Finally, our company comprises
multiple corporations in the family. These family members may share personally identifiable information
with each other. And if one of these family members later goes off on their own, either after being acquired by
a third party or merging with a third party, they will share personally identifiable information with that third
party but subject to the applicable privacy policy.
