At Textron Systems Corporation ("Textron Systems"),
we know you care about your personal privacy. Because we care,
we have adopted the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
You should not access the Textron Systems website (the "Site")
or use our services until you have carefully read this Privacy
Policy and agree to the terms and conditions described in
it.
Our Collection and Use of Your Personal Information
We collect and use information about you which will help
us administer our business or provide products, services or
other opportunities to you. Among other things, we use the
information we learn about you to help us personalize and
improve the experience you have on our website, to respond
to your requests and to communicate with you. The types of
information we collect, retain and use include the following:
Site Use Information: In general, you can visit the
Site without telling us who you are or revealing any information
about yourself. Our web servers collect the domain names,
not the email addresses, of visitors. This information is
aggregated to measure the number of visits, average time spent
on the Site, pages viewed, etc. Textron Systems utilizes this
information ("behavior profiles") to measure the
use of our Site and to improve the content we offer. We may
share with third parties experiential information or other
data which does not personally identify users of our site.
For example, this might include product or service preferences
of all visitors to our site.
Registration Information You Provide To Us: When you
register on our site to receive news from Textron Systems,
we collect profile information from you ("Personally
Identifiable Information"). We require that you provide
your first and last name, email address, and other information
as requested in the applicable registration pages. At your
option you may voluntarily provide additional information,
including address, phone/fax, and, in the case of seeking
employment at Textron Systems, your employment history. Although
you may choose not to provide the optional information to
us, it may result in some features not being available to
you.
By providing this Personally Identifiable Information to
us, you explicitly agree to our collection and usage of such
information as described in this Privacy Policy. We use your
Personally Identifiable Information to respond to your inquiries,
process an order, contact you regarding account status or
customer service, ask you for feedback on our service, let
you know about products or services which may be of interest
to you, or allow you to access specific account information
, or in the case of seeking employment at Textron Systems,
match you with appropriate job opportunities. When you register,
you consent to allow us to contact you for those purposes.
Cookies: Like many websites we use "cookies"
to enable us to remember your password, to help us identify
the portions of our Site that may be the most relevant for
your needs, and to help us identify other products or services
that may be of interest to you or others. A cookie is a small
piece of information that a web site can store on your web
browser and then retrieve at a later time. We use cookies
to track the portions of our Site you visit. However, we do
NOT use cookies to examine your surfing behavior before or
after you leave our Site. There are products commercially
available that are designed to help you disable cookies. Although
we want you to be aware that such products exist, please note
that if you choose to use them we will not be able to provide
you with a personalized service, and it may result in certain
features and services not being available to you.
Email Communications: We use your email address to
contact you to respond to your inquiries or to provide information
on products or services to you. To help us determine whether
you have received an email from us, and to help us make emails
more useful and interesting, we may receive a confirmation
that you have opened an email from us.
Child Privacy: We do not knowingly solicit or receive
information from children under the age of 18.
Restrictions on Disclosing Information to Third Parties
We are not in the business of selling your Personally Identifiable
Information to others. We do not reveal Personally Identifiable
Information about you to unaffiliated third parties, unless:
(1) you request or authorize it; (2) the information is provided
to help complete a transaction for you; (3) the information
is provided to comply with the law, applicable regulations,
court orders or subpoenas, to enforce our Terms of Use or
other agreements, or to protect our rights, property or safety
or the rights, property or safety of our users or others (e.g.,
to a consumer reporting agency for fraud protection etc.);
(4) the disclosure is done as part of a purchase, transfer
or sale of services or assets (e.g., in the event that substantially
all of our assets are acquired by another party, customer
information may be one of the transferred assets); or (5)
the information is provided to our agents, outside vendors
or service providers to perform functions on our behalf (e.g.,
analyzing data, providing marketing assistance, providing
customer service, etc.). We may also gather aggregated data
about you and disclose such aggregated (but not personally
identifiable) information to third parties for promotional
or other purposes.
Security Procedures to Protect Information
We maintain numerous security standards and procedures to
help prevent unauthorized access to confidential information
about you. Our site uses a combination of encryption technology
and authentication to protect your Personally Identifiable
Information. As long as the web browser you are using supports
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), your information will be submitted
to us with a high level of security. We update and test our
security technology on an ongoing basis. We have procedures
limiting employee access to Personally Identifiable Information
to those employees who have a business reason to know such
information about you.
It is also important for you to help protect against unauthorized
access by signing off our Site each time you finish using
the Site.

as affiliates, subsidiaries or other third party distributors
and sales representatives. This Privacy Policy only addresses
