We use cookies, which gather certain forms of information from your computer to help us monitor and improve Site usage and performance. Certain web pages may allow you to voluntarily submit personal information about yourself, your residence, or your business so that we can contact you for services in which you express an interest. |

We do not disclose this information to third parties for their marketing purposes without your prior consent, but we do use third party software and services to assist us with collecting and analyzing information regarding use of the Site. We may also disclose your information to others for other purposes, particularly if required to do so by law. The privacy policy for the Site is set forth below and you should contact privacy@tycoint.com if you have questions or concerns about this policy or the use of your information. |

This Web Privacy Policy applies only to the publicly available components of the Site, for which no registration or log in is required. Additional or different terms may apply to any web pages requiring a registration or log in.

INFORMATION COLLECTION
|
|
This is our online privacy policy (“Web Privacy Policy”). This Web Privacy Policy applies only to activities we engage in on the Site and does not apply to activities that are "offline" or unrelated to the Site. You should note that different privacy policies may apply to other parts of Tyco Security Products’ web presence – for example, separate privacy policies apply to online recruiting pages or web pages for which a customer or dealer registers and logs in. |

Anonymous Information. We may collect two types of information through this Site: anonymous information and personally identifiable information (“PII”). We collect certain anonymous data regarding the usage of the website. This information does not personally identify users, by itself or in combination with other information. We gather it to improve the performance of the Site. The anonymous data we collect can include information such as the type of browser you are using, IP address, the pages you view, and the length of your visit to the Site. |
|
|
Personally Identifiable Information. We may also ask you to provide personally identifiable information on the Site, which may include your name, address, telephone number, fax number, company name, e-mail address and relevant details about the product or service that interests you. These details may include whether the location is a business or residence, whether the site is pre-wired for security, and the square footage, to give some examples. This information can be gathered when you send us an e-mail or when you complete the specific web page request form. In all such cases, you choose whether to provide us with the personally identifiable information, but certain portions of the Site may not be available to you or we may not be able to respond to your inquiry effectively if you do not provide the PII requested. |
|
Surveys and Contests. We may occasionally request information from you via surveys or contests. Your participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary. The information that we request typically includes your contact details. If you choose to participate, the information that you provide will be shared with the contest/survey sponsors to notify winners and award prizes. Survey information may also be used to monitor and improve the content and performance of the Site. |

COOKIES AND WEB BEACONS
|
|
Cookies are small bits of data cached or stored on your computer based on Internet activity. We use cookies to monitor individual activity in aggregate to improve the Site. The information we gather may include IP address, user language, the operating system, browser type, the presence/absence of “flash” plug-ins, screen resolution, connection type, and information that identifies the cookie. However, no other user information is generally collected. On most web browsers, you will find a “help” section on the toolbar. This will tell you how to stop accepting cookies, how to be notified when you receive a browser cookie, and how to disable existing browser cookies. Remember, though, that without browser cookies, you may not be able to take advantage of all our Site features |

We may also use web beacons (also known as clear gifs), which are tiny graphics embedded on a web page to help us measure the effectiveness of particular content. We do not tie the information gathered by web beacons to our customers’ personally identifiable information. |

We use third-parties to assist us with our marketing efforts, including assisting us with sending emails to you. This may include sending you free electronic newsletters and marketing-related emails for services described on our Site.

Uses by Third-Parties. We do not provide your personally identifiable information to any third party for their own marketing purposes without your prior request or consent.
