Privacy Policy

Eaton Electrical is sensitive to privacy issues on the Internet. We believe it is important you know how we treat the information about you we receive on the Internet.

In general, you can visit Eaton Electrical on the World Wide Web without telling us who you are or revealing any information about yourself. Our web servers collect the domain names, not the e-mail addresses, of visitors. This information is aggregated to measure the number of visits, average time spent on the site, pages viewed, etc. Eaton Electrical uses this information to measure the use of our site and to improve the content of our site.

There are times, however, when we may need information from you, such as your name and address. When information is needed, we will try to let you know at the time of collection, how we will use the personal information. Usually, the personal information we collect is used only by us to respond to your inquiry, process an order or allow you to access specific account information.

At times we conduct on-line surveys to better understand the needs and profile of our visitors. When we conduct a survey, we will try to let you know how we will use the information at the time we collect information from you on the Internet. We may also send out periodic communications informing you of news and events sponsored by Eaton Electrical. These communications are optional. We will provide a mechanism to unsubscribe if you so desire. We will not sell or distribute your information to third parties, other than Eaton Electrical suppliers who have been advised that this information is to be used strictly for the Eaton Electrical web site.

Eaton Electrical's website may contain links to other sites such as Eaton Electrical business units and sales affiliates. While we try to link only to sites that share our high standards and respect for privacy, we are not responsible for the content or the privacy practices employed by other sites.

The Eaton Electrical Site may, in some cases, introduce cookies. Web sites use cookies to simulate a continuous connection to that site. This makes it more convenient for users by allowing them to visit pages within a site without having to reintroduce themselves with each mouse click. Contrary to popular fears and misconceptions, cookies were not created to spy on or otherwise invade the privacy of Internet users.

Cookies contain only information that users volunteer, and they do not have the capability of infiltrating a user's hard drive and sneaking away with personal information. The simple function of a cookie is to help the user navigate a web site with as little obstruction as possible. Cookies are small data structures used by a web site (server) to deliver data to a web client (user); request that the client store the information; and in certain circumstances, return the information to the web site. Web sites can thus "remember" information about users to facilitate their preferences for a particular site and allow the use of user passwords. The web site may deliver one or more cookies to the client. The client stores cookie data in one or more flat files on its local hard drive.

Cookies allow web sites to maintain user information across HTTP connections. The current HTTP protocol is "stateless", meaning that the server does not store any information about a particular HTTP transaction; each connection is "fresh" and has no knowledge of any other HTTP transaction. "State" information is information about a communication between a user and a server, similar in many ways to frequent flier profiles or option settings in desktop software. (For example, a preference for aisle or window seats is cookie-like information that a frequent-flier program might store about its customers.) In some cases it is useful to maintain state information about the user across HTTP transactions.
