Provision of the website and creation of logfiles

Every time our website is accessed, our system automatically collects data and information from the computer system of the calling computer. Here, the following data is collected:

1. Information about the browser type and version used
2. The IP address of the user
3. Date and time of access

The data is also stored in the log files of our system. Storage of this data together with other personal data of the user does not take place.

The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to allow delivery of the website to the computer of the user. Therefore the user’s IP address must be kept for the duration of the session. Storage in log files is done to ensure the functionality of the website. In addition, the data is used to optimize the website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. An evaluation of the data for marketing purposes does not take place in this context.

Child Privacy

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, Textron Inc. 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.
