By using our Site, products and related services, you authorize the collection, use, storage, sharing, and disclosure of your information as described in this Privacy Policy and any applicable updates. If you do not agree with the data practices described in this Privacy Policy, you should not use our Site, products or related services.

Information Collection

Knox collects personal and non-personal information from you in various ways as described below.
.

How Information is Collected

In many cases you give personal information to us directly such as when:

  • Registering for our Knox Rapid Access Program
  • Registering and the KnoxConnect® Management System 
  • Purchasing and activating our products
  • Using our mobile applications
  • Submitting your debit, credit card or other payment information
  • Submitting a paper form or transmitting information to us online or over the telephone
  • Speaking to our sales representatives to discuss product options, or our customer service center (some of which conversations may be recorded to ensure quality of our products and services and to maintain a record of our communications with you)
  • Subscribing to our newsletter 
  • Responding to a survey or filling out a form 
  • Providing us with feedback on our products or services

We may also collect your information using cookies or similar technologies to analyze trends and administer our Site, for example:

  • Cookies. Cookies are small files that a site or its service provider transfers to your computer's hard drive through your web browser (if you allow) that enables the site's or service provider's systems to recognize your browser and capture and remember certain information. For instance, cookies can be used to remember and process the items in your shopping cart. Cookies help us understand your preferences based on previous or current Site activity, which enables us to provide you with improved services. We also use cookies to help us compile aggregate data about Site traffic and Site interaction so that we can offer better Site experiences and tools in the future. We may also use trusted third-party services that track this information on our behalf. A cookie in no way gives us access to your computer or any information about you, other than the data you choose to share with us. See "How Can I Control Cookies?" below for information on how to manage cookies..
  • Web Beacons.  We employ a software technology called clear gifs (a.k.a. Web Beacons/Web Bugs), that help us better manage our Site by informing us what content is effective. Clear gifs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, and are used to track the online movements of web users. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on a user's computer hard drive, clear gifs are embedded invisibly on web pages or in emails and are about the size of the period at the end of this sentence. We use clear gifs or pixels in our HTML-based emails to let us know which emails have been opened by recipients. This allows us to gauge the effectiveness of certain communications and the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns. We tie the information gathered by clear gifs in emails to our customers' personal information.
  • Mobile Application. We collect information such as registration and activation information from any mobile application associated with our products, including geolocation information.
  • Social Media Features. Our Site includes social media features that may collect your computer’s IP address and may set a cookie to enable the feature to function properly. These features are hosted by a third party.
  • Log Files. We gather certain information automatically and store it in log files. This information may include IP addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and/or clickstream data.

What Information is Collected

When using our Site and our product you may be asked to, or will automatically provide, personal information such as:

  • Name and/or business name
  • Home address and/or business address
  • Home, business, and/or mobile phone numbers
  • Email address
  • Credit, debit, or other payment method information
  • Social security number
  • Emergency contact information
  • Sales tax exemption certificates
  • Personal security or system code
  • Geolocation information
  • Log files and web browser information: As described above, like most websites, our Site automatically collects and uses the data contained in log files. Information in log files may include your computer's IP address, your ISP, the web browser you used to visit our Site, the time you visited, which web pages you visited, and other anonymous Site usage data. Every computer with internet capability is given a number that serves as that computer's IP address. When you request a page from our Site, our web servers automatically recognize your IP address. The domain name and IP address reveal nothing personal about you other than the IP address from which you have accessed our Site. We may use this information to examine traffic in aggregate, investigate misuse of our Site, detect fraud, and cooperate with law enforcement.

If you are using our mobile application, we may also receive unique device identifiers and other information about your mobile device(s) and mobile operating systems. We may request permission to collect certain information from or about you, for example, if you use any Knox mobile application, we may request permission to access and store your location from the mobile devices used to access the Site.
 

How we use information we collect

We may use your data to respond to you and to improve your browsing experience, process your transactions, provide you with information on products, services or events, and send you other information that may be of interest to you or to follow up with you after communication with us. 

We collect your email address in order to:

  • Send information, respond to inquiries, and/or other requests or questions.
  • Process orders and to send information and updates pertaining to orders.
  • Send you additional information related to your product and/or service.
  • Market to our mailing list or continue to send emails to our customers after the original transaction has occurred.


Other than in connection with our reseller arrangements, Knox will never sell, rent, or lease your personal information to third parties for their own marketing purposes. We will share your information with third parties to the extent they need to have it to provide you with requested services or information. These third parties are authorized by us to use your personal information only as necessary to provide such services.

We also share information, including personal information, with vendors with whom we have a contractual relationship and who perform services for us, such as vendors that provide email, demographic or geo-location information, vendors that perform background checks or process or accept credit card payments, vendors that gather user data for our marketing purposes, vendors that send SMS messages to registered mobile phone numbers, vendors that provide services that enable us and other third parties to detect and prevent fraud, and vendors that provide cloud or hosting services.

To provide our products and related services we will share your information as necessary with persons designated as your emergency contacts and the fire department(s) assigned to your Knox device. In addition, if we go through a business transition such as a sale, merger or acquisition, your information, including personal information, may be among the assets transferred to a new entity. You acknowledge and consent that such transfers may occur and are permitted by this Privacy Policy, and that any acquirer of ours or any related affiliates can continue to process your personal information and other information as described in this Privacy Policy.

Google Analytics and HubSpot may gather analytics relating to your activities on our Site for us to use for our marketing purposes, to analyze trends, and to improve our Site function. 

In addition, we will disclose personal information and your IP address when we have your consent or have the good-faith belief that such action is reasonably necessary to:

  1. satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process or enforceable governmental request;
  2. protect and defend the security of our Site and related properties, or visitors to our Site and related properties;
  3. enforce our Terms of Use, including investigation of potential violations thereof;
  4. identify persons who may be committing a fraud or otherwise violating the law; and 
  5. cooperate with investigations of purported unlawful activities.

Security of Your Information and Data Integrity

We take appropriate security measures to protect your information against unauthorized access or unauthorized alteration, disclosure or destruction of data. We restrict access to personal information to our employees, contractors, agents and authorized third parties who need to know the information to operate, develop or improve our products. These individuals are bound by confidentiality obligations.

We process personal information only for the purposes for which it is collected and in accordance with the terms of this Privacy Policy. We regularly review our data collection, storage and processing practices to ensure that we only collect, store and process the personal information needed to provide or improve our products and services or as otherwise permitted under this Privacy Policy.

We do not target any marketing to children under the age of 13 years old.
