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.
As with most sites, users may visit the site without telling Spectrum Brands their identity or revealing any personally identifying information. Spectrum Brands does collect information concerning the total number of visits, the total amount of time spent on the site, and the pages viewed, without collecting any other information concerning the user. This information is aggregated so that Spectrum Brands can determine how the site is being used and how it may be improved. Electronic mail addresses and other personally identifying information of users, which would include, among other things, name, address, and telephone number, are known by Spectrum Brands only when voluntarily provided by users who participate in interactive activities on the site or place an order for products. Users should have permission before disclosing any personally identifying information of other persons, such as spouses or work colleagues, and Spectrum Brands assumes that users disclosing such information have the necessary permission to do so. From time to time, Spectrum Brands may use other sources to confirm the accuracy of the information provided by users on this site.
Spectrum Brands uses SSL encryption technology from GeoTrust to ensure protection of users’ personal information including payment information. If users are concerned about the security of this site, users are encouraged to place orders by calling Consumer Services at 1-800-392-6544.
Personally identifying information disclosed at this site is not sold, transferred, or otherwise disclosed outside Spectrum Brands, except where such disclosure may be required by law or as expressly described below. Unless a user is told otherwise at the time that the personally identifying information is disclosed, such information is retained by Spectrum Brands and may be used (1) to understand better the use of the site and how it may be improved; (2) to award sweepstakes and contest prizes; (3) to respond to specific requests or inquiries made by users; (4) to obtain parental consent from users under the age of 18, where that may be necessary; (5) to provide notices to parents of users under the age of 18, where that may be necessary; (6) to protect the security and integrity of the site; (7) for product registration and warranty purposes, including any follow-on customer satisfaction surveys or market research activities; (8) when we believe it is required by law. However, Spectrum Brands shall have no liability for disclosure of any users’ information obtained due to errors in transmission or the unauthorized acts of third parties.
Spectrum Brands reserves the right to change or update this Privacy Policy. Any changes or updates will be effective immediately upon posting the changes to this website. Effective Date: November 3, 2009.
