General Information may include, without limitation: generic business type; SIC code; information derived from publicly available databases (such as Dun and Bradstreet); user behavior on our website, app or social media; and aggregated generic information.

Non-Public Personal Information

Non-Public Personal Information may include, without limitation: name; address; phone number; e-mail address; account information; and individual behaviors.

What Information We Collect

Feit Electric collects general information and non-public personal information.

How We Collect Our Information

Feit Electric collects our general information through the use of cookies and server-based tracking systems to view the usage of the website, apps and social media.

Non-public personal information is collected through registration, contact forms on our website or app, or user behavior, and will never be used for any purpose other than internal use or by our partners unless the registrant chooses to be added to mailing lists (this is a choice made by the registrant on the Registration form).

Any information you share with us (e.g., for creating a Feit Electric Account) will help us to provide you with services related to Feit Electric devices and to improve them. We explain here our ways of collecting and using information, and how we protect your privacy. In this privacy policy, “personal data” means information that can be used to identify an individual, either from that information alone, or from that information and other information we have access to about that individual. We collect both personal and non-personal data to enable and facilitate the best user experience possible.

What information is collected and how do we use it?

Disclosure to Feit Electric group companies and Third Party Service Providers

In order to conduct business operations smoothly, the Feit Electric entity which collects your personal data may disclose your personal data from time to time to other third party service providers which are data centers, data storage facilities, and customer service providers, agents, related corporations, and/or other third parties (together “Third Party Service Providers”). Such Third Party Service Providers would be processing your personal data on Feit Electric’s behalf or for one or more of the purposes listed above.

Personal data will only be shared by Feit Electric to provide or improve our products or services and will not be shared for use for marketing purposes.

For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that we are permitted by law to collect, use or disclose your personal data without your consent, such permission granted by the law shall continue to apply.

Information Safety Safeguards

We are committed to ensuring that your personal data is secure. In order to prevent unauthorized access, disclosure or other similar risks, we have put in place reasonable physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect. We have put in place the following security procedures and technical and organizational measures to safeguard your personal data:

Your personal data is stored on secure servers that are protected in controlled facilities.

All data saved in the back-end is classified into different levels based on the importance and sensitivity of the data, e.g. whether the data contains personal data.

In the data centers, clusters that contain sensitive data are grouped together in the network topology, and will be placed in rooms with additional physical security protection.

Data exchanged between Feit Electric devices and servers are encrypted using Secure Sockets Layer (“SSL”).

There is an optional two-step verification process when users access their Feit Electric Account.

Information safety is very important to us. We will take all practicable steps to safeguard your personal data. Through our protective measures above, especially encrypted storage and transmission, your data is as secure as it can be. Certain details of encrypted data cannot be accessed by anyone except by you.

When this Privacy Policy applies

Our Privacy Policy does not apply to products and services offered by a third party. Feit Electric products and services may include third party’s products or services. When you use such products or services, they may collect your information too. For this reason, we strongly suggest you read the third party’s privacy policy as you have taken time to read ours. We are not responsible for and cannot control how third parties use personal data which they collect from you. Our Privacy Policy does not apply to other sites linked from our services.

Additional California Privacy Rights

California residents can request a list of the personally identifiable information we have shared with third parties for their marketing purposes as well as a list of the third parties that have received such information.

A request can be sent via email to info@feit.com. You can submit a request once each calendar year. Please include an indication that your request is related to a “California Shine the Light” inquiry. Once received, we will respond within a reasonable time.

Minors

We consider it the responsibility of parents to monitor their children’s use of our products and services. Nevertheless, it is our policy not to require personal data from minors or offer to send any promotional materials to persons in that category. Feit Electric does not seek or intend to seek to receive any personal data from minors. Should a parent or guardian have reasons to believe that a minor has provided Feit Electric with personal data without their prior consent, please contact us to ensure that the personal data is removed and unsubscribe them from any of the applicable Feit Electric services.

If we change our Privacy Policy, we will post the changes on all the Feit Electric websites, so that you may be aware of the information we collect and how we use it.
