Personal Information
Browsing our website typically can be done without revealing any personal information. We do not collect personal information automatically.

When you browse our website, you do so anonymously, unless you have previously registered with us. We do log your IP address (the internet address of your computer). This provides us with data related to the parts of our website you visit and how long you spend there. However, we do not link your IP address to any personal information unless you have registered with us.

Tyco only collects personal information when you register with us. We may require visitor registration to grant access to personalized services which include software downloads, surveys, email newsletters and mailing lists. Tyco only uses this information if it has been collected in accordance with acceptable privacy practices consistent with the Tyco Internet Privacy Policy and other applicable laws.

Upon your request and within a reasonable period of time, we will inform you about the type of personal information we have about you, the purposes for which we have it and the possible recipients or types of recipients. Upon written request and within a reasonable period of time, we will also correct, delete, and/or block personal information from further processing if that information proves to be factually inaccurate, incomplete, or irrelevant to the purpose(s) of the processing.

Use of personal information
When personal information is collected, we will inform you at the point of collection. Tyco will not transfer your personal information to third parties without your consent. The information you provide will be kept confidential and you will be informed, in each case, about the purpose for which such information is requested.

Personal information regarding you (such as name, address and phone number) or your order and the products you purchase will not be given or sold to any outside organization for its use in marketing or solicitation without your consent.

We will provide you with the opportunity to "opt in" prior to receiving direct marketing or market research information. This means we will require your affirmative action to indicate your consent before we use your information for purposes other than the expressed purpose for which it was submitted.

A cookie cannot read data off your hard disk or read cookie files created by other sites. Some parts of the Tyco Thermal Controls’ website use cookies to track user traffic patterns. We do this in order to determine the usefulness of our website information to our users and to see how effective our navigational structure is in helping users reach that information.
