Acuity Brands knows that you are
concerned about online security and privacy information. We appreciate
your trust that we will act responsibly with any information you share
through this site.
This site allows
anonymous viewing of all public information on this site. You can view
the information on these pages without telling us who you are.
However, there are
some pages on this site that request certain personally identifying
information from you. These pages include feedback forms, registration
forms, online surveys and other forms that may appear on this site. We
will act reasonably to make certain that we use your personal
information only for the purposes spelled out on the submission form. If
you fill out one of these forms, any information you provide will be
received and stored by Acuity Brands. Acuity Brands may store your
information indefinitely, either in separate or aggregate form, for our
business records and as otherwise provided in this Privacy Policy.
We never sell or
share your personal information with unaffiliated organizations for
commercial purposes unrelated to the business of Acuity Brands. If
necessitated by your request (e.g., if you submit a Literature Request
Form), we provide the minimum required information (e.g., mailing
address) to allow these third-party organizations to provide their
services. Information may be stored and/or maintained by these third
party organizations so long as the third party organization agrees to
maintain the privacy under the same conditions described in this Privacy
Policy.
Certain types of
non-identifying information are collected automatically from each
visitor's session on this site. This type of information includes
technical information, such as your IP address and browser type. We also
log and track which pages are visited to enable us to measure traffic
usage and patterns.
Like many sites,
this site uses "cookies" to recognize a visitor’s computer on subsequent
visits to this site. Cookies are small files created by Web sites that
reside on the hard drive of the visitor’s computer and that store
information about a visitor’s use of a particular web site. The help
file of an internet browser application (for example, Internet Explorer
or Netscape Navigator) contains information about rejecting and
explicitly managing cookies on a computer.
Exceptions: Acuity
Brands may disclose all or any portion of your personal information if
it believes there are exceptional reasons to do so. These include, but
are not limited to, the following situations: (1) to correct technical
problems and malfunctions in how the site operates or processes
visitor’s information, (2) to protect the security and integrity of the
site and its service; (3) to protect Acuity Brands' rights and property
and the rights and property of others; (4) to take precautions against
liability; (5) to respond to claims that submitted information violates
the rights or interests of third parties; (6) to the extent required by
law or to respond to judicial process; (7) to the extent permitted under
other provisions of law, to provide information to law enforcement
agencies or for an investigation on a matter related to public safety,
as applicable; or (8) in connection with the purchase or sale of one or
more of Acuity Brands’ businesses or their business assets.
This site has
taken commercially reasonable precautions to protect the data and
information under our control from misuse, loss or alteration.
Unfortunately, no system can ensure complete security and you should
take steps to protect their information and transmissions, such as
keeping user logins and passwords secure and making sure to completely
log out when finishing a session.
The Acuity Brands
site may contain links to other sites that contain information we
believe may be of interest to our visitors. While we try to link only to
sites that share our high standards and respect for privacy, we are not
responsible for the content or the privacy practices employed by other
sites.
We reserve the
right to amend this Privacy Policy and will post any revisions on this
site.
