Hamilton Sundstrand Corporation ("HSC") has created this website
for the purpose of conducting electronic commerce and to facilitate secure
information exchange. This website is intended to be user friendly and is
designed to assist us in meeting the needs of our business partners. In order to
accomplish this goal, it is important for you, a user of this website, to
understand that we may capture certain information from you and that we will
endeavor to protect all information and data supplied to us. This Statement of
User Privacy and its attached Terms and Conditions of Use describe the
information collected by HSC, our use of that information, and the terms and
conditions of your use of this site. We encourage you to read both of these
documents carefully before using this site. If you have any comments or
questions, or there are other things we can do to maximize the value of this

HSC uses the information voluntarily given by users to enhance users?
experience in the site, to provide interactive or personalized elements on the
site and to better prepare future content based on the interests of users. HSC
monitors user traffic patterns to determine which areas of the site users find
useful based upon the amount of traffic to particular areas.
HSC monitors user traffic patterns throughout the site according to a user?s
domain name, browser type, and date and time of access, pages viewed, etc.
In most cases, personal information is used to respond to inquiries, allow
access to specific areas of the site, or access particular accounts or to
customize the site based upon your interests. HSC will not provide e-mail
addresses or other customer information to any non-HSC organization or partner.
In some instances, HSC may provide links to other organizations. HSC is
committed to linking with companies that share our privacy concerns. However, we
cannot and do not control the way these parties use or collect information or
operate their businesses.
HSC may gather three types of information about users: (1) data gathered
through tracking information derived mainly by tallying page views throughout
the site; (2) data that users provide when registering as a particular
individual; and (3) data that users provide when registering for access to
specific websites with HSC. Once you register with HSC or have been assigned a
specific identification code to access your websites , we may request that you
provide certain information. Our purpose in collecting this information is to
provide customized services and content that are relevant to your specific needs
and interests.

or database support and maintenance tasks. We will endeavor to protect your data

protect this data and information, due to the nature of Internet communications,
we cannot guarantee or warrant that your transmission is absolutely secure.
Also, we strongly recommend that you not disclose your password to anyone.
During certain uses of the site, you may be linked to a site or product
provided by a third party. If you submit information to HSC to access or
