Privacy Policy
ITW Privacy Policy ITW respects your personal privacy and is committed to adhering to the applicable privacy and data protection laws and industry guidelines. This privacy policy ("Privacy Policy") describes how we handle the personal information that you to provide to us on this website ("Website"). This policy applies only to the ITW site and not to any third-party sites that may be accessible from here. This Privacy Policy applies, in general, to all Websites operated by or on behalf of ITW and its business units worldwide. However, you should see the applicable terms of each business unit website for the specific terms of use for each website. After reading this Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into and is a part of this Website's Terms and Conditions, you will know:
1. INFORMATION ITW COLLECTS FROM YOU Your Consent By using ITW's Website or providing personal information to us, you are consenting to the collection, use and disclosure of your personal information described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not consent to the collection, use and disclosure of your personal information as described in this Privacy Policy, do not use the ITW Website or contact ITW pursuant to Section 2 below. Active Information Collection Like many other web sites, we actively collect information from our visitors both by asking specific questions on this site and by permitting you to communicate directly with us via e-mail. Some of the information that you submit may be personally identifiable (that is, information that can be uniquely identified with you, such as your name, address, e-mail address, phone number, etc.). ITW uses this information for the purposes for which you provide it. For example, if you provide your resume to ITW for purposes of obtaining employment, the resume will be used for activities related to your potential employment. Passive Information Collection Some of the information we collect depends on the settings on your web browser. Please check your web browser if you want to learn what information your browser sends or how to change your settings. In addition to the information sent by your web browser, as you navigate through a web site, certain information can be passively collected (that is, gathered without you actively providing the information) using various technologies and means, such as navigational data collection. Like most web site operators, we track IP addresses, use both session and persistent cookies, and assign Internet tags. Our system also automatically gathers information about the areas you visit on this site and collects operational information about the technology you use, such as your browser, type of computer, operating systems and Internet service providers. We passively collect information to understand what areas of this site are most popular, which areas may require improvement and what technologies are being used by our visitors. This information helps us to update and improve this site. We also use this information for security purposes, to detect and to block security breaches and to provide you with a safe online environment. Limitations on the Collection, Use and Disclosure of Personal Information To the extent required by applicable law, whenever ITW collects personal information on the ITW Website, ITW will:
Retention of Personal Information ITW retains the personal information collected on the web site as long as necessary to provide the services, products and information you request or as permitted by applicable law. 2. CHOICES YOU HAVE ABOUT HOW ITW USES YOUR INFORMATION We strive to provide you with as many choices and as much control as possible regarding the personal information you provide to us. We have created mechanisms to provide you with the following control over your information: You may also send us an e-mail message at bmorris@itw.com to request access to, correct or delete any personal information that you have provided to us. To protect your privacy, we will only respond to e-mail messages sent from the e-mail account you used to set up your account. Should you elect to have your information deleted, we will also delete your user account. If you do not wish us to collect cookies, you may set your browser to refuse cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being sent. If you do so, please note that some parts of this site may then be inaccessible or not function properly. If you do not want any information collected, then you should choose not to use the ITW web site. 3. HOW ITW PROTECTS YOUR INFORMATION We work hard to protect your personal information. ITW will not sell personal information collected from its web site to mailing list brokers without your express consent. All information is stored within a secured database that is not accessible to the outside world. Resumes are stored on file systems that are not publicly accessible. All ITW servers are protected behind both hardware and software firewalls. Low-level access to all information is restricted to authorized support personnel only. This site contains links to other web sites operated by third parties that may be of interest to you. We cannot control these third-party sites, which may collect personal information from you. When you follow a link and leave this site, you do so at your own risk. 4. WHAT ITW DOES ABOUT CHILDREN VISITING THIS SITE This site is not intended for children under the age of 13. We will not knowingly collect information from site visitors in this age group. We encourage parents to talk to their children about their use of the Internet and the information they disclose online. If your child has submitted personal information and you would like to request that such information be deleted from our records, you may do so by using the feedback mechanisms provided at a particular ITW web site, by clicking on the feedback link or by writing us at the address set forth in Section 5 below.
