Our Commitment to Privacy
The top priority of S.C. Johnson & Son, Inc. and its subsidiaries
("SC Johnson") is to provide you with outstanding products. To achieve
this goal, we must collect, maintain and use certain personal and
financial information. SC Johnson has created this On-Line Privacy
Policy in order to demonstrate our respect for your privacy. This
On-Line Privacy Policy describes the information we will collect and
how we will use that information. It applies only to the on-line
collection of data. Your privacy is important to SC Johnson and we want
you to know about our on-line privacy policies and practices.
1. Information SC Johnson Collects On-Line
SC Johnson gathers, retains and utilizes information about you to
operate our business and to make our products, information and
opportunities available to you. We collect this information when you
provide it through voluntary registrations on several of our sites and
in certain promotions, contests or sweepstakes. We will not collect
personally identifiable information about you (such as your name,
address, telephone number, social security number, billing and shipping
information, credit card information or e-mail address) unless you have
provided it to us voluntarily. We shall only use the information for
purposes for which it was collected and to send our visitors
information about our company and our products. We also use it to
better tailor our content to readers' needs and to help better
understand the demographics of our audience.
2. Visitor Tracking
We sometimes collect anonymous information through the use of various
technologies, possibly including one called "cookies," to help us
provide better customer service (the United States located brand sites
do not use "cookies"). For example, we keep track of the domains from
which people visit and we also measure visitor activity on SC Johnson
Websites, but we do so in ways that keep the information anonymous.
This anonymous information is sometimes referred to as "clickstream
data." SC Johnson or its analytic vendors may use this data to analyze
trends and statistics and to help us provide better customer service.
Also, when we collect personal data, we may extract some information
and combine it with other information, such as clickstream data. This
information is used and analyzed only at an aggregate level to help us
understand trends and patterns. None of this information is reviewed at
an individual level. If you do not want your personal information used
in this manner, you can opt-out by clicking on the link to our "Contact
Us" page.
Cookies are small files that a Website installs on your hard drive.
Cookies enable our Web server to recognize your computer. This allows a
company to tailor its Websites to better match your interests and
preferences. Information gathered through cookies and Web server logs
may include the date and time of visits, the pages viewed, time spent
at our Website, and the Websites visited just before and just after its
Website.
You can set your browser to notify you before you receive a cookie,
giving you the chance to decide whether to accept it. You can also set
your browser to block cookies altogether. However, if you do so, your
ability to use the Website may be impaired.
Most browsers also allow you to erase cookies already stored.
3. Use and Sharing of the Information
We do not give or sell your personally identifiable information to
unaffiliated organizations for their independent use without your
consent. We may share your information with agents and/or contractors
of SC Johnson in connection with services they perform for us. As an
example, we use personal information for purposes of administering our
business activities, providing customer service and making available
other products and services to our customers and prospective customers.
We may store and process personally identifiable information to better
understand your needs and how we may improve our products and services.
We may use your information to contact you in the future about
important changes, such as about our Websites, new services and
products, promotions, sweepstakes and special offers.
4. Policy on Correcting, Updating or Deleting Information
If you would like to correct, update or delete personal information
retained by us, or inform us of your desire not to receive future
communications from us, please click on a link to our "Contact Us" page.
5. Security
SC Johnson will take reasonable precautions to protect your personally
identifiable information from loss, theft, misuse or alteration. If we
ask you to send credit card information to us on our Websites, a secure
server software will encrypt such information before it is sent to us.
The information is scrambled en route and decoded once it reaches our
Website. Other email that you send to us may not be secure unless we
advise you that security measures will be in place prior to your
transmitting the information. For that reason, we ask that you do not
send your Social Security or credit card numbers to us through an
unsecured email.
6. Children
SC Johnson has no intention of collecting personally identifiable
information from children under the age of thirteen (13). This Website
is not intended for children under the age of 13 and there is no reason
to suspect that the Website is designed in a manner that would attract
such children. If you are under the age of thirteen (13), please do not
provide personal information of any kind whatsoever. If a child
provides us with personally identifiable information, a parent or
guardian of that child may contact us if they would like this
information deleted from our records.
7. Links
The SC Johnson sites contain links to other websites. SC Johnson is not
responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such Websites.
8. Your Consent
By using our Websites you consent to our collection and use of your
personally identifiable information as described in the On-Line Privacy
Policy. SC Johnson reserves the right to change or update this On-Line
Privacy Policy, or any other SC Johnson policy or practice, at any
time. If we change our on-line privacy policies and procedures, we will
post those changes on our Website to keep you aware of what information
we collect, how we use it and under what circumstances we may disclose
it. Any changes or updates will be effective immediately upon posting
to the Websites. Thank you for visiting us. We value your patronage.
