Our Commitment to Privacy
The top priority of S. C. Johnson & Son, Inc. and its subsidiaries ("SC
Johnson") is to provide you with outstanding products. To achieve this goal,
we must collect, maintain and use certain personal and financial information.
SC Johnson has created this On-Line Privacy Policy in order to demonstrate our
respect for your privacy. This On-Line Privacy Policy describes the information
we will collect and how we will use that information. It applies only to the on-line
collection of data. Your privacy is important to SC Johnson and we want you to
know about our on-line privacy policies and practices.
1. Information SC Johnson Collects On-Line
SC Johnson gathers, retains and utilizes information about you to operate our
business and to make our products, information and opportunities available to
you. We collect this information when you provide it through voluntary registrations
on several of our sites and in certain promotions, contests or sweepstakes. We
will not collect personally identifiable information about you (such as your name,
address, telephone number, social security number, billing and shipping information,
credit card information or e-mail address) unless you have provided it to us voluntarily
or we have obtained it from publicly available information or third parties with
whom we conduct business. We shall only use the information for purposes for which
it was collected and to send our visitors information about our company and our
products. We also use it to better tailor our content to readers' needs and to
help better understand the demographics of our audience.
2. Visitor Tracking
We sometimes collect anonymous information through the use of various technologies,
possibly including one called "cookies," to help us provide better customer
service.
For example, we keep track of the domains from which people visit and we also
measure visitor activity on SC Johnson Websites, but we do so in ways that keep
the information anonymous. This anonymous information is sometimes referred to
as "clickstream data." SC Johnson or its analytic vendors may use this
data to analyze trends and statistics and to help us provide better customer service.
Also, when we collect personal data, we may extract some information and combine
it with other information, such as clickstream data. This information is used
and analyzed only at an aggregate level to help us understand trends and patterns.
None of this information is reviewed at an individual level. If you do not want
your personal information used in this manner, you can opt-out by clicking on
the link to our "Contact Us" page.
Cookies are small files that a Website installs on your hard drive. Cookies
enable our Web server to recognize your computer. This allows a company to tailor
its Websites to better match your interests and preferences. Information gathered
through cookies and Web server logs may include the date and time of visits, the
pages viewed, time spent at our Website, and the Websites visited just before
and just after its Website.
You can set your browser to notify you before you receive a cookie, giving
you the chance to decide whether to accept it. You can also set your browser to
block cookies altogether. However, if you do so, your ability to use the Website
may be impaired.
Most browsers also allow you to erase cookies already stored.
3. Use and Sharing of the Information
We do not give or sell your personally identifiable information to unaffiliated
organizations for their independent use without your consent. We may share your
information with agents and/or contractors of SC Johnson in connection with services
they perform for us. As an example, we use personal information for purposes of
administering our business activities, providing customer service and making available
other products and services to our customers and prospective customers. We may
store and process personally identifiable information to better understand your
needs and how we may improve our products and services. We may use your information
to contact you in the future about important changes, such as about our Websites,
new services and products, promotions, sweepstakes and special offers.
4. Policy on Correcting, Updating or Deleting Information
If you would like to correct, update or delete personal information retained by
us, or inform us of your desire not to receive future communications from us,
please click on a link to our "Contact Us" page.
5. Security
SC Johnson will take reasonable precautions to protect your personally identifiable
information from loss, theft, misuse or alteration. If we ask you to send credit
card information to us on our Websites, a secure server software will encrypt
such information before it is sent to us. The information is scrambled en route
and decoded once it reaches our Website. Other email that you send to us may not
be secure unless we advise you that security measures will be in place prior to
your transmitting the information. For that reason, we ask that you do not send
your Social Security or credit card numbers to us through an unsecured email.
6. Children
SC Johnson has no intention of collecting personally identifiable information
from children under the age of thirteen (13). This Website is not intended for
children under the age of 13 and there is no reason to suspect that the Website
is designed in a manner that would attract such children. If you are under the
age of thirteen (13), please do not provide personal information of any kind whatsoever.
If a child provides us with personally identifiable information, a parent or guardian
of that child may contact us if they would like this information deleted from
our records.

and procedures, we will post those changes on our Website to keep you aware of
