Briggs & Stratton Corporation (“Briggs & Stratton”) understands that privacy is important to our customers and is committed to protecting your privacy.

This InfoHub™ Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”) applies when you use the InfoHub Service. InfoHub™ is a software subscription service Briggs & Stratton offers for use by power equipment owners and operators (“Service”).  The Service requires the pairing of power equipment and an internet connected device working together (“Equipment”).  The Service allows authorized users to collect, analyze, use and store comprehensive data about the Equipment they own or operate.  The Service includes analytic information about your use of the Equipment.  The Service may include connectivity to allow the Equipment to communicate using the Internet. If you use the Briggs & Stratton website available to the public and not the Service, then you are governed by the Briggs & Stratton Corporation Privacy Policy found at: https://www.briggsandstratton.com/na/en_us/privacy-policy.html and not this Privacy Policy.

This Privacy Policy is part of the Briggs & Stratton InfoHub™ Terms of Use available at https://turf.briggsinfohub.com/terms-conditions.html (“Terms”).

By clicking on “Accept” when you sign into your account, you acknowledge that you have read, understand and agree to comply with this Privacy Policy and that you are entering into a binding contract with Briggs & Stratton.  YOU EXPRESSLY CONSENT TO OUR COLLECTION, USE, DISCLOSURE, SHARING AND LICENSING OF INFOHUB DATA AS DESCRIBED BELOW.

This Privacy Policy also explains your rights and choices regarding your personal information, how we communicate changes to this Privacy Policy, and how you may contact us regarding questions or issues with respect to anything contained in this Privacy Policy.

If you reside in the European Economic Area (“EEA”), please note that this Privacy Policy addresses both information for which Briggs & Stratton is acting as a “controller” (for example, your contact information) and information for which Briggs & Stratton is acting as a “processor” (for example, technical data related to your Equipment).

OVERVIEW OF WHAT INFORMATION WE COLLECT AND WHAT WE DO WITH THAT INFORMATION.

The information that we may collect from or about you broadly falls into the following categories: information that you voluntarily provide to us (for example, your contact information and your payment information) and information collected through your use of the Service (for example, Equipment usage data and data collected by cookies and other tracking technologies).

When you use the Service, we collect certain Personal Information, Connected Data and Location Data (all defined below and collectively the “InfoHub Data”) about the users of the Service and the Equipment.

We also analyze the InfoHub Data using analytics tools, with the aim of improving customer efficiency when using the Equipment, and for our own business purposes such as to improve the Service and the Equipment.

We collect, store and share the InfoHub Data as described below.

WHAT TYPES OF INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT?

We collect the following types of InfoHub Data when you use the Service:

·                     Personal Information or Personal Data.

We collect "Personal Information” or "Personal Data."  Personal Information and Personal Data are information that could reasonably be used to identify you individually.  Examples of Personal Information and Personal Data include name, email address, mailing address, phone number, other contact information, user ID, password, IP address, device identifiers or MAC identifiers.

                                                                 iv.      Data or information which could be used to identify an individual’s activities or Equipment use at a specific location, such as a residence.  For instance, this information includes when an individual person is using Equipment at a specific location and at what time of day.

When we use your Personal Information in conjunction with the Location Data, we will treat that Location Data as Personal Information under this Privacy Policy.

TRACKING AND COOKIES.

A.                  “DO NOT TRACK” BROWSER SETTINGS.  The Service does not support the Do Not Track (DNT) browser setting.  DNT is a preference you can set in your browser’s settings to let the websites you visit know that you do not want the sites collecting your personally identifiable information.  We will not collect personally identifiable information about your online activities over time and across third-party websites or online services regardless of whether you choose the DNT browser preference.

B.                  COOKIES.  We use cookies to help us understand and save your preferences for future visits to InfoHub and to compile aggregate data about your traffic and interactions so that we can offer better experiences and tools in the future.  Cookies are small pieces of information that are stored on your device’s hard drive by your web browser. We may contract with third-party service providers to assist us in better understanding our users.  These service providers are permitted to use the information collected on our behalf only to help us conduct and improve our business.

We use cookies to track how you access and use the Service, to learn when and how users visit the Service, to learn how popular Service pages are and aren’t, to learn which search terms are used to find the Service, to learn which websites direct you to the Service, and to recognize Service users. We also use cookies to help display certain information on the Service and to improve your enjoyment of the Service, for example, by remembering your contact and other information when you access or use the Service.

You can find more information on our cookie policies by visiting our cookie policy at https://www.briggsandstratton.com/eu/en_gb/cookie-policy.html, which is incorporated into this Privacy Policy.

Most browsers automatically accept cookies. You can disable cookies but disabling cookies may impact your use and enjoyment of the Service. Most browsers allow users to manage cookies in the browser’s settings. If you prefer, some browsers may allow you to choose to have your computer warn you each time a cookie is being sent, or you can choose to turn off all cookies by adjusting your browser settings.  If you turn your cookies off, the Service may not function properly.  However, if you experience an issue, you can contact customer service.

Changing your cookie preferences in one browser will not necessarily carry over to other browsers, so you may need to adjust your preferences each time you get a new computer, install a new browser, upgrade an existing browser, or alter or delete a browser’s cookie file. Our Service suppliers may use cookies and other tracking technologies, such as pixel tags, to track Service visitors across the Internet to understand how you get to the Service. We do not have access or control over these cookies and this Privacy Policy does not cover the use of third-party cookies.

LOG FILES.

The Site uses Internet Protocol (“IP”) addresses to analyze trends, administer the Site, track user movements, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use.  We do not link IP addresses to personally identifiable information.  An Internet Service Provider (“ISP”) typically assigns a random dynamic IP address at the time of your dial-up.  For local area network (“LAN”), DSL, or cable modem users, a static IP address may be permanently assigned to a particular computer.  We may record the IP addresses of users of the Service.  While an IP address may reveal your ISP or geographic area, we do not intend to use that information to identify you solely based upon your IP address.  Other websites you visit have IP addresses, and we may collect the IP addresses of those websites and their pages, but we never associate these IP addresses with specific Internet users.

THIRD PARTY PAYMENT PROCESSOR.

When you purchase a subscription to use the Service and make recurring payments, you are directed to a third-party portal (“Payment Portal”) to make such payments that is controlled by Zuora, Inc., a third-party payment processor (“Payment Processor”).  When you make payments through the Payment Portal, you are subject to the Payment Processor’s terms, conditions and data collection practices (“Payment Processor Terms”), not these Terms. https://www.zuora.com.

Any financial information, such as your credit card number and other credit card information necessary to make a purchase, is collected directly by the Payment Processor.  Briggs & Stratton does not receive your credit card information or other financial information when you make a purchase through the Payment Portal.  Briggs & Stratton may receive certain Personal Information necessary to finalize orders such as your name, address, phone number and email address.

HOW WE PROTECT THE INFOHUB DATA.

We work to protect the security of the InfoHub Data. During transmission of Personal Information between you and our Site, we use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software to encrypt information you input.

Please note that despite our reasonable efforts, no security measure is ever perfect or impenetrable, so we cannot guarantee the security of your Personal Information.  We make commercially reasonable efforts to protect the InfoHub Data and we have implemented reasonable physical, operational and technical safeguards in place for doing so.  Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.  Therefore, you provide InfoHub Data, including Personal Information and use the Service at your own risk.  BRIGGS & STRATTON IS NOT LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY LOSS OF INFOHUB DATA OR HARM RESULTING FROM DISCLOSURE OF YOUR INFOHUB DATA.

When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your Personal Information, we will either delete or anonymize it, or, if that is not possible (e.g., because your Personal Information has been stored in back-up archives), we will securely store your Personal Information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.
