(b) Disclosure of Personal Information to Third Parties
We will not disclose any personal information about any of our users to any third-party (excluding our vendors or contractors to whom we may provide such information for the limited purpose of providing services to us and who are obligated to keep the information confidential), unless: (1) you have authorized us to do so; (2) we are legally required to do so, for example, in response to a subpoena, court order or other legal process and/ or, (3) it is necessary to protect our property rights related to this website. We also may share aggregate, non-personal information about website usage with unaffiliated third parties, or via scientific research papers regarding our Services. This aggregate information does not contain any personal information about our users.
(c) Disclosure of Information by You
Through your use of the Services, you may choose to make certain elements of your information, including PII that you post and/ or disclose in the course of engaging Services, available to other participants and users. While we take considerable efforts to protect your privacy, we cannot take and expressly disclaim responsibility for whether and how other users, will use or disclose information disclosed by you through the Services. As such, you should only provide information you feel comfortable disclosing to other members within the Services.
Certain JCI websites, like many other commercial websites, may use a standard technology called “cookies” to collect information about how our website is used. Cookies were designed to help a website operator determine that a particular user had visited the site previously and thus save and remember any preferences that may have been set. We may use cookies to temporarily keep track of information about your current web browsing session which will be discarded as soon as you log out or close your web browser. This information also allows us to statistically monitor how many people are using our website and for what purpose. We may also make use of “persistent” or “memory based” cookies, which remain on your computer’s hard drive until you delete them. Although you have the ability to modify your browser to either accept all cookies, notify you when a cookie is sent, or reject all cookies, it may not be possible to utilize our services if you reject all cookies.
We exercise great care to protect your personal information through various administrative and physical safeguards. This includes, among other things, using industry standard techniques such as firewalls, encryption, and intrusion detection for information stored on our systems. However, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or receive from us while that information is in transit. This is especially true for information you transmit to us via email since we have no way of protecting that information until it reaches us since email does not have the security features that are built into our websites.
In addition, we limit JCI’s employees’ and contractors’ access to personal information. Only those employees and contractors with a business reason to know have access to this information, and then may only access or use the minimum necessary for the task at hand. We educate our employees about the importance of maintaining confidentiality of user information. We also periodically review our security arrangements and safeguards.
If you are using a JCI website or mobile application for which you registered and choose a password, we recommend you do not share your password to anyone. We will never ask you for your password in an unsolicited phone call or in an unsolicited e-mail. Always remember to Sign Out of the JCI website and close your browser window when you have finished using the Services. This is to ensure others cannot access your personal information and correspondence to us if others have access to your computer or mobile device.
We want to provide website visitors valuable information, products, and services. Featured programs and other JCI web content may link our users to third-party websites. JCI does not control and is not responsible for privacy or security practices of any third party websites.
As we continually update and improve our services, we may periodically make changes to this Privacy Policy. Or, we may modify this Privacy Policy to reflect new changes in laws or regulations. Accordingly, please check back and review this Privacy Policy periodically.
