Privacy Policy
Effective: January 1, 2006
Acuity Brands knows that you are concerned about online security and privacy information.
We appreciate your trust that we will act responsibly with any information you share
through this site.
This site does not allow anonymous viewing. You must request a user account by providing
your personal and company information through the online registration process. If
your request is approved, you will be issued a user ID and password that allow you
to view pages on this site. Each time you visit the site, you must log in with your
user ID and password.
We will act reasonably to make certain that we use your personal information only
for the purposes spelled out on the submission form. When you use the site, any
information you provide will be received and stored by Acuity Brands. Acuity Brands
may store your information indefinitely, either in separate or aggregate form, for
our business records and as otherwise provided in this Privacy Policy.
We never sell or share your personal information with unaffiliated organizations
for commercial purposes unrelated to the business of Acuity Brands. If necessitated
by your request (e.g., if you submit a literature request form), we provide the
minimum required information (e.g., mailing address) to allow these third-party
organizations to provide their services. Information may be stored and/or maintained
by these third party organizations so long as the third party organization agrees
to maintain the privacy under the same conditions described in this Privacy Policy.
Also, certain types of non-identifying information are collected automatically from
each visitor's session on this site. This type of information includes technical
information, such as your IP address and browser type. We also log and track which
pages are visited to enable us to measure traffic usage and patterns.
Like many sites, this site uses "cookies" to recognize a visitor’s computer on subsequent
visits to this site. Cookies are small files created by Web sites that reside on
the hard drive of the visitor’s computer and that store information about a visitor’s
use of a particular web site. The help file of an internet browser application (for
example, Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator) contains information about rejecting
and explicitly managing cookies on a computer.
Exceptions: Acuity Brands may disclose all or any portion of your personal
information if it believes there are exceptional reasons to do so. These include,
but are not limited to, the following situations: (1) to correct technical problems
and malfunctions in how the site operates or processes visitor’s information, (2)
to protect the security and integrity of the site and its service; (3) to protect
Acuity Brands' rights and property and the rights and property of others; (4) to
take precautions against liability; (5) to respond to claims that submitted information
violates the rights or interests of third parties; (6) to the extent required by
law or to respond to judicial process; (7) to the extent permitted under other provisions
of law, to provide information to law enforcement agencies or for an investigation
on a matter related to public safety, as applicable; or (8) in connection with the
purchase or sale of one or more of Acuity Brands’ businesses or their business assets.
This site has taken commercially reasonable precautions to protect the data and
information under our control from misuse, loss or alteration. Unfortunately, no
system can ensure complete security and you should take steps to protect their information
and transmissions, such as keeping user logins and passwords secure and making sure
to completely log out when finishing a session.
The site may contain links to other sites that contain information we believe may
be of interest to our visitors. While we try to link only to sites that share our
high standards and respect for privacy, we are not responsible for the content or
the privacy practices employed by other sites.
We reserve the right to amend this Privacy Policy and will post any revisions on
this site.
Questions or comments about this Privacy Policy or the practices of the site should
be directed to
Acuity Brands Support Center.
