Privacy
Policy
Effective: February 6, 2003
Acuity Brands Lighting 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
Lighting. Acuity Brands Lighting 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 Lighting. 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 Lighting 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 Lighting' 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 Lighting’ 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 Lighting 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.
