Our use of cookies
and web beacons
Cookies are small files that websites save to your hard disk or to your
browser's memory. We may use them to track the number of times you have
visited the site, to track the number of visitors to the site, to
determine and analyze visitors' use of our sites (including the
effectiveness of online advertising), to store information that you
provide such as your preferences, and to store technical information
useful for your interactions with our websites. We may use session
cookies (cookies that are deleted when your browser session ends) to
store your user ID, elements of your user profile, to facilitate your
movement around our websites (particularly in connection with
information searches and order placement) and other information useful
in administering the session. You have the ability to accept or decline
cookies. Most Internet browsers automatically accept cookies, but you
can usually modify your browser settings to decline cookies or to notify
you when a cookie is being placed on your computer. If you choose to
decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the features of
Honeywell's websites or other websites that you visit. Our sites also
may contain electronic images known as web beacons - sometimes called
single-pixel gifs - that allow us to count the number of users who have
visited those pages. We may include web beacons in promotional e-mail
messages or newsletters in order to determine whether messages have been
opened and acted upon.
Disclosure of your
personal information
Except as
described below, personal information you provide through our
websites will not be shared outside of Honeywell and its controlled
subsidiaries and affiliates without your permission.
Disclosure to service
providers - Honeywell contracts with other companies to provide
services on our behalf, such as hosting websites, sending out
information, processing transactions, and analyzing our websites. We
provide these companies with only those elements of your personal
information they need to deliver those services. These companies and
their employees are prohibited from using that personal information for
any other purpose.
Disclosure to
distributors - In responding to a request made by you, we may share
your personal information with companies that distribute our products.
In those cases, we provide these companies with only those elements of
your personal information they need to respond to your request, and
these companies and their employees are prohibited from using that
personal information for any other purpose. In some cases, we may seek
your permission to share your information with distributors for
marketing purposes other than responding to a request from you. However,
we will not share your information for such marketing purposes unless we
have obtained your express consent to do so.
Disclosure in
connection with transactions - In connection with certain
transactions, we may disclose some or all of your personal information
to financial institutions, government entities, and shipping companies
or postal services involved in fulfillment.
Disclosures in
connection with acquisitions or divestitures - Circumstances may
arise where for strategic or other business reasons Honeywell decides to
sell, buy, merge or otherwise reorganize businesses in some countries.
Such a transaction may involve the disclosure of personal information to
prospective or actual purchasers, or receiving it from sellers. It is
Honeywell's practice to seek appropriate protection for information in
these types of transactions.
Disclosure for other
reasons - We may disclose personal information if required to do so
by law or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to
comply with legal requirements or with legal process served on us, to
protect and defend our rights or property, or in urgent circumstances to
protect the personal safety of any individual.
Security
Honeywell is committed to protecting the security of your personal
information. We use a variety of security technologies and procedures to
help protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or
disclosure. For example, we store the personal information you provide
on computer systems with limited access that are located in facilities
to which access is limited. For sites to which you login, it is your
responsibility to ensure the security of your password and not to reveal
this information to others. When you move around a site to which you
have logged in, or from one site to another that uses the same login
mechanism, we verify your identity by means of an encrypted cookie
placed on your machine.
Reviewing your
personal information
In some cases,
you can review and correct personal information provided through our
websites by going to the page on which you provided the information. In
all cases, you can make a request to review and correct your personal
information collected via our websites or ask Honeywell to stop using it
by completing our Contact Us form. We may take steps to verify your
identity before providing you access to your personal information. You
can help us to maintain the accuracy of your information by notifying us
of any change to your mailing address, phone number, or e-mail address.
Consent to
international transfers of personal information
The personal
information we collect on our websites may be sent to the United States
or to any other country in which Honeywell or its affiliates,
subsidiaries or agents maintain facilities. We may also store and
process the information there. Although the laws that protect personal
information in those countries may differ from the laws where you live,
we will take reasonable steps to ensure that your privacy is protected.
By using our websites and giving your information to us, you consent to
the transfer of the data outside of your country.
Children's
information
Honeywell does
not knowingly collect information from children and does not target its
websites that collect information to children.
Links to other sites
Our websites may
contain links to other sites such as Honeywell distributors and sales
affiliates, professional and government organizations, and publications.
We also link to third-party providers that host, maintain and operate
on-line training curricula. While we try to link only to sites that
share our high standards and respect for privacy, we are not responsible
for the content, security, or privacy practices employed by other sites.

privacy statement

questions regarding this statement or our handling of your personal
information, please Contact Us. We will promptly address your concern
and strive to reach a satisfactory resolution.
Changes to this
privacy statement

occasionally update this privacy statement. When we do, we will revise
the "last updated" date at the top and bottom of the privacy
