This Privacy Policy applies to all of the websites offered by Acuity Brands, Inc. or its subsidiaries or affiliated companies located in the United States (the “Site”). We appreciate your trust that we will act responsibly with any information you share through this Site.

Collection of Personal Information, Financial Information and Information Sharing

The Site allows anonymous viewing of all public information on the Site. You can view the information on these pages without telling us who you are. There may be some pages on the Site that request certain personally identifying information from you, such as name, address, email address, phone and fax numbers, company name, title or job position. We may also collect information about your interest in Acuity Brands products, services, job openings or other transactions that you or your organization may enter with Acuity Brands through these pages. These pages include feedback forms, employment applications, registration forms, order forms, information requests, online surveys, contests and other forms that may appear on the Site. If you fill out one of these forms, or send email or other communications to Acuity Brands, you may be asked to supply personal information for our record keeping and follow-up. Any information you provide will be received and stored by Acuity Brands, and may be shared with employees, independent contractors, sales agents, background checking organizations, fulfillment companies and other third party business partners, as necessary or appropriate based on a relevant business need to know. We may use information you submit to process your inquiries, provide you a requested product or service, or communicate with you. We may also use information about you to provide further information to you about our products and services, or improve our products and services. We do not sell or share your personal information with unaffiliated organizations for commercial purposes unrelated to the business of Acuity Brands.

Some limited products may be available to purchase online.
