Data Retention

Our Commitment to Children’s Privacy

Our websites are not intended for use by children under the age of 16. Energizer does not market any of its products online for children under the age of 16, nor does Energizer design its online applications, advertisements and other features to attract an audience of children under the age of 16. Although certain pages within the website may reference “kids,” “children,” or “students,” Energizer strictly intends for such portions of the website to be used only by adults (such as parents and teachers) or children of the age 16 or older. Energizer adheres to applicable laws for child protection and does not knowingly register or solicit Personal Information from any child under the age of 16.

Energizer does not sell or share information obtained from minors with any third parties for their own use. The third parties who may have access are those assisting us with or co-sponsoring our website fulfillments, such as for purposes of filling orders or processing payments. We do not share a child’s information with blogs or other sites where the information would be publically accessible.

If Energizer should inadvertently collect information from a child under the age of 16, we delete that information, except to the extent needed to obtain consent of the holder of parental responsibility for the child. When consent is obtained, we collect only that Personal Information from the child that is relevant to the registration or purpose. We protect the information with security safeguards and confidentiality measures that are commensurate with the sensitivity of the information. Parents or holders of the parental responsibility have the right to review their child’s personal information, delete it, or withdraw permission to allow further collection or use of that information.
