UNIVERSAL Electric Corporation

PRIVACY POLICY

Your privacy online is very important to Universal Electric Corporation, and our global subsidiaries. Our Privacy Policy is designed to assist you in understanding how we collect and use the personal information you provide to us and to assist you in making informed decisions when using our site and our products and services.

WHAT INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT?

When you visit our website, you may provide us with two types of information: personal information you knowingly choose to disclose that is collected on an individual basis and website use information collected on an aggregate basis as you and others browse our Website.

Universal Electric Corporation collects personally identifiable information that you knowingly provide, such as your e-mail address, name, home or work address. Universal Electric may also collect anonymous demographic information, which is not unique to you, such as your ZIP/Postal Code, age, gender, preferences, interests, and favorites.

PERSONAL INFORMATION

You choose to provide. Registration Information: You will provide us information about yourself, your firm or company, and your location when you register on the Universal Electric Corporation websites to download information. We may periodically send you email notifications, newsletters, and other alerts. Universal Electric Corporation does not sell, rent, or lease its customer lists to third parties.

Universal Electric Corporation may, from time to time, contact you on behalf of external business partners about a particular offering that may be of interest to you. In those cases, your unique personally identifiable information (e-mail, name, address, telephone number) is not transferred to the third party. In addition, Universal Electric Corporation may share data with trusted partners to help us perform statistical analysis, send you email or postal mail, provide customer support, or arrange for deliveries. All such third parties are prohibited from using your personal information except to provide these services to Universal Electric, and they are required to maintain the confidentiality of your information.

Universal Electric Corporation does not use or disclose sensitive personal information, such as race, religion, or political affiliations, without your explicit consent. Universal Electric Corporation keeps track of the Web sites and pages our customers visit within Universal Electric, in order to determine what products and services are the most popular. This data is used to deliver customized content and advertising within Universal Electric to customers whose behavior indicates that they are interested in a particular subject area.

Universal Electric Web sites will disclose your personal information, without notice, only if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on Universal Electric or the site; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of Universal Electric; and, (c) act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of Universal Electric, or the public.

Business Transfers: In the event that Universal Electric decides to sell all or part of its stock or assets or merge the company, it reserves the right to include your personal information among the assets transferred to the acquiring or surviving company. It is Universal Electric’s practice to seek appropriate protection for personal information in these types of transactions.

Aggregate Anonymous Information: Universal Electric may provide to others anonymous information in the aggregate for purposes of marketing, promotion or similar activities. None of this aggregated information will identify anyone personally.

CHILDREN

The Universal Electric Web site is intended for adults in the United States. We do not intentionally or knowingly collect, personally-identifiable information from children under the age of 13 and we request that individuals under the age of 13 not submit any personal information on the site.

WEBSITE USE INFORMATION

Similar to other commercial websites, our website utilizes a standard technology called “cookies” (see explanation below, “What Are Cookies?”) and Web server logs to collect information about how our website is used. 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 our website. We, our advertisers and ad serving companies may also use small technology or pieces of code to determine which advertisements and promotions users have seen and how users responded to them.

HOW DO WE USE THE INFORMATION THAT YOU PROVIDE TO US?

Broadly speaking, we use personal information for purposes of administering and expanding our business activities, providing customer service, and making available other products and services to our customers and prospective customers. Occasionally, we may also use the information we collect to notify you about important changes to our website, new services, and special offers we think you will find valuable. You may notify us at any time if you do not wish to receive these offers by emailing us at info@uecorp.com

WHAT ARE COOKIES?

A cookie is a very small text document, which often includes an anonymous unique identifier. When you visit a website, that site’s computer asks your computer for permission to store this file in a part of your hard drive specifically designated for cookies. Each website can send its own cookies to your browser if your browser’s preferences allow it, but (to protect your privacy) your browser only permits a website to access the cookies it has already sent to you, not the cookies sent to you by other sites. Some of our business partners (e.g., advertisers) use cookies that originate from their sites. We have no access or control over those cookies.

HOW DO WE USE INFORMATION WE COLLECT FROM COOKIES?

As you use our website, the site uses its cookies to differentiate you from other users. Cookies, in conjunction with our web server’s log files, allow us to calculate the aggregate number of people visiting our website and which parts of the site are most popular. This helps us gather feedback in order to constantly improve our website and better serve our customers. Cookies do not allow us to gather any personal information about you and we do not generally store any personal information that you provided to us in your cookies.

You can manage the placement of functional cookies on your browser via your individual browser settings. Note that opting out of functional cookies may impact the functionality of our websites and degrade your user experience.

To opt out from data collection by Google Analytics, you can download and install a browser add-on, which is available here.

NOTICE OF NEW SERVICES AND CHANGES

Occasionally, we may also use the information we collect to notify you about important changes to our website, new products and services, and special offers we think you will find valuable. As our customer, you will be given the opportunity to notify us of your desire not to receive these offers by sending us an email request at info@uecorp.com.

HOW DO WE PROTECT YOUR INFORMATION AND SECURE INFORMATION TRANSMISSIONS?

Email is not recognized as a secure medium of communication. For this reason, we request that you do not send private information to us by email. Universal Electric Corporation secures your personal information from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. Universal Electric secures the personally identifiable information you provide on computer servers in a controlled, secure environment, protected from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. When personal information (such as a credit card number) is transmitted to other Web sites, it is protected through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol, 128 bit encryption services. Pages utilizing this technology will have URLs that start with HTTPS instead of HTTP.

Universal Electric will continue to revise policies and implement additional security features as new technologies become available. Unfortunately, no system is perfect; therefore, Universal Electric makes no representations or warranties with regard to the sufficiency of the present or future security measures. Universal Electric shall not be responsible for any actual or consequential damages (or any other damages or liability of any kind whatsoever) that result from a lapse in compliance with its security measures because of a security breach or technical malfunction. Please contact info@uecorp.com if you have any questions or concerns.

HOW CAN YOU ACCESS AND CORRECT YOUR INFORMATION?

You may request access to all of your personally identifiable information that we collect online and maintain in our database by emailing info@uecorp.com.

CERTAIN DISCLOSURES

We may disclose your personal information if required to do so by law or subpoena or if we believe that such action is necessary to (a) conform to the law or comply with legal process served on us or affiliated parties; (b) protect and defend our rights and property, our site, the users of our site, and/or our affiliated parties; (c) act under circumstances to protect the safety of users of our site, us, or third parties.

WHAT ABOUT OTHER WEBSITES LINED TO YOUR WEBSITE?

We are not responsible for the practices employed by websites linked to or from our website nor the information or content contained therein. Often links to other websites are provided solely as pointers to information on topics that may be useful to the users of our website. Please remember that when you use a link to go from our website to another website, our Privacy Policy is no longer in effect. Your browsing and interaction on any other website, including websites which have a link on our website, is subject to that website’s own rules and policies. Please read over those rules and policies before proceeding.

YOUR CONSENT

By using our website you consent to our collection and use of your personal information as described in this Privacy Policy. If we change our 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.
