At Ransomes Jacobsen Ltd we care about your personal privacy. Because we care, we have adopted the practices described in this Privacy Policy. You should not access the Ransomes Jacobsen Ltd 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.

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.

Personal Data We Collect:

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.

    • 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, 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.

How Long We Keep Your Information: Personal data collected will only be retained as long as necessary for business continuity or valid legal purposes.

How We Use the Information We Collect:

  • Site Use Information: This information is aggregated to measure the number of visits, average time spent on the Site, pages viewed, etc. Textron utilizes this information ("behavior profiles") to measure the use of our Site and to improve the content we offer.

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.

Child Privacy

Because of the nature of our business, our products and services are not designed to appeal to minors, and therefore we do not knowingly attempt to solicit or receive any information from children. Our terms and conditions of use require that any registration may only be made by those age 18 or older and that any product or service purchases may only be made by those age 18 or older. If we have reason to believe that information is being provided by a child under the age of 18, Ransomes Jacobsen Ltd will not collect the information without parental consent or parent notification, which will include the opportunity for the parent to prevent the use of the information or to prevent the child's participation in the activity. Without parental consent, online information will only be used to respond to an unsolicited request and for no other purposes. We recognize that protecting children's identities and privacy online is important and that the responsibility to do so rests with both the online industry and with parents.
