We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer personally identifiable information to unaffiliated third parties (companies outside the Lowe’s family) without your consent, except as described in this privacy statement.
As noted above, you may consent to us sharing certain information with the manufacturer or developer of some compatible devices when you connect the device to the Iris Platform. This data may vary over time. Similarly, you may consent to the sharing of certain information related to your use of Iris with other third-parties. For example, you may consent to us sharing information with your insurance company or a utility provider as part of a discount program they may provide or for other reasons such as their research or analysis. Or you may consent to sharing of certain information with Iris platform partners that provide certain Iris-related functionality. If Iris agrees to participate in such programs, we will limit the shared data to that which you have consented and take reasonable steps to help ensure that such data is shared securely. However, once the data is shared with the third-party based on your consent, the other party is responsible for the security and use of the data. You should read and understand the other party’s privacy policies and promises before you agree to share such information.
We may disclose your personal information to companies that provide services to us (such as providers of hosting, support, delivery, printing, e-mail, payment processing, data enhancement, and repair services) or that help us market our products and services. These companies may need access to information about you in order to perform their functions. These companies are not authorized to use the information we disclose to them for any other purpose without your consent.
