You should not access this Site or use our services until you have carefully read this Privacy Policy and agree to the terms and conditions described in it. 

 

Certain areas of the Site may contain their own privacy policy because of the services provided or transactions conducted through those specific areas. You should not access those areas, use the services of, or conduct transactions in those areas of the Site until you have carefully read the associated private policy and agree to its terms and conditions. If there is any inconsistency between this Privacy Policy and an area-specific privacy policy, the area-specific privacy policy controls.

Our Collection and Use of Your Personal Information 

We collect and use information about you which we reasonably believe will help us administer our business or provide products, services or other opportunities to you. This includes information about your use of our Site, information that you provide to us (such as name, contact information, and email address), and information from cookies that helps us personalize your experience on the Site. We use the information we learn about you to help us personalize and improve the experience you have with us, to respond to your requests, and to communicate with you.  

 

The types of information we may collect, retain, and use include the following: 

1.   Site Use Information 

You can visit the Site without telling us who you are or revealing any information about yourself. Our web servers may collect the domain names, not the email addresses, of visitors. This information is aggregated to measure the number of visits, average time spent on the Site, pages viewed, the Site you visited just before coming to this Site, internet service provider, etc.  The Company may use this information (“behavior profiles”) to measure the use of our Site and to improve the content we offer. We may share with third parties that have a legitimate business relationship with Bell experiential information or other data which does not personally identify users of our Site. For example, this might include product or service preferences of all visitors to our Site. 

 

2.   Information You Provide to Us 

You are not required to register to access our Site. However, if you send us an email; contact us to receive information, products or services; or register in connection with a specific area of the Site, we may collect profile information from you (“Personally Identifiable Information” or “PII”). You may provide, for instance, your first and last name, email address, company name, title, physical address (i.e., street address, city, state, country and zip code), customer ID, phone number, fax number, product information or other information. Although you may choose not to provide the optional information to us, it may result in some features not being available to you. 

 

If you purchase products from us online, you may provide credit card information. By providing this Personally Identifiable Information to us, you explicitly agree to our collection and usage of such information as described in this Privacy Policy, and you will be asked to consent again when we request this information.

 

Our Use of Information You Provide

We may use your Personally Identifiable Information to respond to your inquiries, process an order, contact you regarding account status or customer service, ask for your feedback on our service, let you know about products or services which may be of interest to you, allow you to access specific account information, or in the case of seeking employment at Textron or one of its subsidiaries, match you with appropriate job opportunities, or for other purposes.  We may store the information you share with use for marketing research and other marketing purposes.

3.   Email Communications 

We may use your email address to contact you to respond to your inquiries or to provide information on products or services to you.

Child Privacy

Because of the nature of our business, our products and services are not designed to appeal to minors, and therefore we do not knowingly attempt to solicit or receive any information from children. Our terms and conditions of use require that any registration may only be made by those age 18 or older and that any product or service purchases may only be made by those age 18 or older. If we have reason to believe that information is being provided by a child under the age of 18, Bell will not collect the information without parental consent or parent notification, which will include the opportunity for the parent to prevent the use of the information or to prevent the child's participation in the activity. Without parental consent, online information will only be used to respond to an unsolicited request and for no other purposes. We recognize that protecting children's identities and privacy online is important and that the responsibility to do so rests with both the online industry and with parents.

3. data subjects have been given the opportunity to object, after having been informed of the purposes of the transfer, the categories of recipients and the fact that the countries to which data is exported may have different data protection standards.

Security Procedures to Protect Information
