Edison International Online Privacy Statement
Edison International (EIX) respects the privacy of all visitors to our website. We realize concerns about privacy and the secure transfer, storage, and use of personal information have increased with the growth of online services. That is why EIX maintains strict privacy policies and uses state-of-the-art technologies to safeguard personal information.
What kind of information do we collect?
When you visit our website there are two kinds of information that we are likely to record:
1. Non-personal statistical information collected in the aggregate.
This is anonymous information on subjects such as: how many visitors come to our website, how they navigate through the site, which browsers they use to visit the site, etc. This information is collected in aggregate to aide in our continuing efforts to improve our visitor’s online experience.
2. Personal information that you voluntarily supply to us.
When you sign up for certain services on the EIX website, such as e-mail alerts or requests for information, we may collect "personally identifiable information," which will be used to fulfill your request. Examples of personally identifiable information are: name, address, telephone number, e- mail address, etc.
It is a common business practice to collect "personally identifiable information" in order to conduct business and provide specific services. EIX has collected this information from customers in the past to provide services through mail or over the telephone. The emergence and popularity of the Internet provides EIX with yet another way to communicate with the public and meet their needs.
We do not sell or trade information
EIX will not sell or trade your personal information to any third party, absent authorization by you. We only collect your personal data in order to provide you with better services.
Receipt of e-mails
E-mail gives EIX another convenient avenue to communicate with the public. You will receive e-mails from us or our authorized third-party fulfilling agent if you have signed up to be notified when certain news or events occur or if you have requested information. EIX will not, however, send you e-mails if you have not specifically subscribed to these services or do not wish to receive them.
Children
EIX does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 18 years of age. We do not have any content on our site that would be considered harmful to children and certainly do not restrict children from visiting our site.
Linked Websites
The Edison International website contains links to other websites. Please be aware that these other sites may have privacy policies that differ from EIX’s. EIX is in no way responsible for either the content that appears on linked sites or your privacy once you have linked to other sites.
Updates
In order to improve our service or to keep up with future industry changes, the information in this privacy policy may be periodically updated. We will post a new date in the event that the current policy is altered.
