Our Commitment to Privacy

BFGoodrich(R) brand is committed to protecting your privacy. This Policy applies to all information submitted by you on this website. It explains the type of information we may collect and how we may use it.

This Privacy Policy applies to this website only. It does not address information that we might obtain from places other than these websites. It also does not apply to BFGoodrich brand's other activities that occur offline. Since other websites (including those we link to) have their own practices, we encourage you to ask questions and provide information only to those sites whose practices you understand and trust.

Please note we may revise our Policy from time to time. Check this page periodically for updates.

By using this website, you signify your agreement with the www.bfgoodrich.com.au website Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with any term in this Policy, please do not use this site or submit any personally identifiable information.

What information do we collect?

We collect some information about you in a few ways, including tracking your activities through your IP address, the use of "cookies," and Web beacons. None of this information is personally identifiable unless you have otherwise provided us with your personal information online.

The only time we collect personally identifiable information about you is when you voluntarily submit it to us, such as by: filling out a form or survey; participating in a promotion, contest or sweepstakes; registering your e-mail address with us; signing up for an e-mail newsletter; or, e-mailing us.

Our servers typically log your IP address when you request a page from this website. You remain anonymous to us since we do not link your IP address to anything personally identifiable.

Another method we employ to collect anonymous information is through the use of "cookies". A cookie is a small piece of data that a website can deliver to your browser, which may then be stored on your computer. Some BFGoodrich(R) brand pages use cookies, issued by BFGoodrich brand or its third party vendors, or other technologies to better serve you when you return to the site. You can set your browser to notify you before you receive a cookie, giving you the chance to decide whether to accept it. You may also decide to set your browser not to accept cookies. If you decide to do this, some areas of some sites may not function properly.

Some BFGoodrich brand websites also use what are called "Web beacon technologies" to better tailor those sites to provide enhanced customer service. These elements are placed on several pages throughout BFGoodrich brand's websites. When a visitor goes to these pages, an anonymous notice of that visit is generated which may be processed by us or by our vendors. This technology works in conjunction with cookies (described above). You can set your browser to turn off cookies if you don't want to associate your non-personally identifiable information with your visits to these pages.

If you turn off cookies, Web beacon technologies will still detect anonymous visits to these pages, but the notices they generate cannot be associated with other anonymous cookie information and are disregarded.

How do we use this information?

Your personally identifiable information that you voluntarily submit to us may be shared with and stored on a database controlled by third parties who have been hired by us to provide limited services on our behalf. Agents or contractors of BFGoodrich(R) brand who have access to your personally identifiable information are required to keep the information confidential and are prohibited from using this information for any purpose not previously disclosed to you.

We use personally identifiable and non-personally identifiable information for site administration and for the purpose of performing the services for which such data was collected.

We do not sell or rent your personally identifiable information to third parties. We do not otherwise disclose your personally identifiable information to third parties, unless such disclosure is required by law or to protect our interests.

Even though our information practices may change from time to time, we will not use your information in a manner not previously disclosed to you in our Privacy Policy. We will always provide you with notice by posting any privacy policy changes on this website, and you will have an opportunity to reject such changes.

Children's Privacy Protection

We do not wish to obtain personally identifiable information from children who make unsupervised use of our websites. Thus, we ask children to obtain the consent of their parent or guardian before providing us with any personally identifiable information.

Security Precautions We Take

Your privacy is very important to us. We use leading security technology and security procedures to help maintain the privacy of your personal information. Among other techniques, we usually store such information on a computer behind our "firewall" in a secure location. We also restrict the number of employees internally who can access this data. Of course, there is no such thing as "perfect security" on the Internet and we cannot guarantee the security of any information you disclose online.

This Policy became effective on December 1, 2003. Any amendments will be posted at this URL and will be effective when posted.
