INFORMATION WE COLLECT; USE OF INFORMATION
When you visit the Lord Bissell Site, our web server automatically gathers information from your Internet browser. This information may include your Internet protocol (IP) address (which allows us to determine the identity of your Internet Service Provider), your operating system, and the type of browser software that you are using to access the site. This information is used to monitor traffic and performance of the Lord Bissell Site and to maintain and improve the Lord Bissell Site. No personally-identifiable information is ever gathered by us through your browser.
We collect no other information from you unless you choose to provide us with information (for example, by completing and submitting an online sign-up form), such as name, postal address and e-mail address, so that we may respond to comments and questions about our services and the Lord Bissell Site. If you provide us with such information, it will be used only for the purpose for which the information was submitted. We will not share your information with any third party, except as required by law, or as agreed to by you.
Any information you provide through the Lord Bissell website (or by e-mail to us) is being transmitted to our offices in the United States, even if you intend for it to be transmitted to, and it is ultimately transferred to, our office in London. If you are located in the European Union, you acknowledge that the United States does not have data protection laws equivalent to those in force in the European Union and you expressly agree to such transfers.
USE OF COOKIES
The Lord Bissell Site uses cookies, small text files placed on a visitor’s hard drive, to retain information about visitors' browsing activities and for record keeping purposes. We reserve the right to change our policy regarding the use of cookies. You can choose not to receive a cookie file by enabling your web browser to refuse cookies or prompt you before accepting a cookie. At no time will we store sensitive information, such as your name or e-mail address, in a cookie.
SECURITY
We realize that foremost in the minds of privacy-conscious individuals is the security of information after its submission. All information collected through the Lord Bissell Site is securely stored in databases. Access to the stored information is restricted to select authorized personnel. However, transmitting information via the Internet or by e-mail is never completely secure; any information submitted may be intercepted, collected, used or disclosed by others. We do not use secure socket layer (SSL) encryption in the Lord Bissell Site, so we do not recommend transmitting any information you consider sensitive through online fill-in forms on the Lord Bissell Site.
