OnCue Privacy Policy
Kohler has created this privacy statement in order to show our
firm commitment to your privacy. The following discloses our information
gathering and sharing practices for OnCue Application
and related services ("OnCue").
1. Personal Information
Collection
The OnCue services require us to collect
first and last name, telephone number, email address, and home or business
mailing address when you access certain areas of the OnCue services that
require registration services, or if you require more information about the OnCue services. Use of the service will also require you to
setup an account protected by a unique username and password.
At other times, Kohler may collect information that we cannot use to directly identify you. For example, we may collect non-personal information such as Wi-Fi, router IP addresses, and unique device identifiers when you use our services. We may also generate analytical data, such as customer energy use data (CEUD) that may be aggregated with other information, including personally identifiable information, and that analytical data may be linked directly back to you.
2. How Kohler Collects Information
Kohler may use any number of tools to collect
information about you, your computer access points, and the web browser that
you use to connect to OnCue. For example, your device and service settings may
allow us to automatically collect information from your smart device and power generation
products. We will use this information only for the services that you have
purchased. We may also use other analytical or tracking technologies to
personalize your interactions with OnCue. Kohler may collect information from your web browser each time you visit
OnCue. We may collect information about the pages that you visit and the time
spent on each web page or area of the OnCue service. This information may
include your Internet Protocol ("IP") address, the type of browser, and the
time that you opened OnCue.
3.
Our Use and Disclosure of Your Information
At times, we may use the services of
third-party companies to provide certain services to you, for example, our
distributors, dealers and physical maintenance and support vendors. Kohler may
share your personal information with these vendors as appropriate. We do not
share personally identifiable information with outside third parties without
your consent, except to the extent necessary to complete your request for
products and services offered through the OnCue
services.
We may use your personal information to contact
you via mail, e-mail, or telephone in order to give you updates regarding the
services and products that you have purchased in connection with the OnCue
services. We use return e-mail addresses to answer the e-mail we receive from
you. Kohler will not share your e-mail address with outside third parties for
their direct marketing purposes. We may use your IP address to help protect
Kohler and our vendors from fraud.

information in connection with the sale or merger of Kohler or any transaction

Kohler makes reasonable efforts to ensure that our vendors have implemented
physical, electronic, and procedural security measures to assist with
safeguarding your personal information, and to help protect against
unauthorized access and disclosure. Only our authorized personnel who perform
legitimate business functions for Kohler are authorized to access your personal
information. Notwithstanding our efforts, the Internet and online services have
inherent security risks. Kohler cannot promise, and you should not expect, that
your personal information, and other communications will always remain secure.

information or any username or password that you are required to use to access
services on OnCue.

OnCue is a general
audience application. Kohler does not direct its Web site content toward
children under 13 years old. We do not
knowingly collect personal information from children. If Kohler becomes aware that a child has
provided us with personal information without parental consent, Kohler will
delete that information from our databases.If you have questions about personal information related to a child,
please email us at privacy@kohler.com.

Kohler will not share
any personal information about you with outside third parties for their direct
marketing purposes, unless you agree otherwise as authorized by your prior
affirmative consent.
