Information Lithonia Lighting Collects

At Lithonia Lighting, we collect information to deliver better lighting solutions and improve your experience navigating commercial, emergency, and outdoor fixture guidance. The data we gather falls into three categories:

Information You Provide Directly

When you subscribe to our newsletter, submit a contact form, or request product specifications, you share details like your name, email address, company affiliation, and the lighting categories relevant to your project. We store this information to send fixture updates, installation guides, and industry insights that match your professional needs.

Information Collected Automatically

Our servers log technical details each time you visit our site—your IP address, browser type, device specifications, operating system, and the pages you view. We track which LED high bay fixtures, emergency exit signs, or wall pack models generate the most interest, helping us understand which commercial lighting solutions deserve deeper technical coverage. Session duration and click patterns show us whether contractors find our troffer comparisons or flood light installation guides genuinely useful.

Information from Third Parties

As an Amazon Associates participant, we receive anonymized referral data when you click through to purchase fixtures on Amazon. This tracking confirms commission eligibility but does not reveal your personal identity or purchase history to us. Analytics services like Google Analytics aggregate visitor behavior across our LED lighting, emergency lighting, and outdoor security lighting categories, providing demographic trends without identifying individual users.

How Lithonia Lighting Uses Your Information

We use collected data to enhance the accuracy of our fixture specifications, refine installation tutorials, and ensure our commercial lighting recommendations align with real-world contractor needs. Specifically, we:

• Send monthly newsletters featuring new LED troffer reviews, high bay comparisons, and emergency lighting compliance updates to subscribers who opted in
• Respond to inquiries about specific fixtures—whether you need clarity on lumens output for a warehouse retrofit or dimming compatibility for recessed downlights
• Analyze which product categories (emergency exit signs vs. wall packs, troffers vs. wraparounds) receive the most engagement, guiding our content priorities
• Improve site navigation so facility managers and electrical contractors find the right flood light or strip light model faster
• Detect fraudulent activity or spam submissions that could compromise the integrity of our fixture data

We do not sell your email address to third-party lighting manufacturers, distributor mailing lists, or marketing agencies. Your contact information stays within Lithonia Lighting’s ecosystem and the essential service providers supporting our operations.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies in Commercial Lighting Research

Our site uses cookies to remember your preferences and improve your browsing experience across LED, fluorescent, and emergency lighting categories. Here’s how different cookie types function:

Essential Cookies

These maintain session integrity when you navigate between our high bay fixture guides and emergency light battery replacement tutorials. Without them, you’d lose your place every time you clicked to a new page. Essential cookies do not track behavior—they simply keep the site functional.

Analytics Cookies

Google Analytics cookies measure how long visitors spend comparing LED wall packs versus traditional HID flood lights, which installation guides get bookmarked, and whether mobile users struggle with our fixture spec sheets. We review this aggregate data monthly to identify confusing layouts or missing technical details in our commercial lighting content.

Advertising and Affiliate Cookies

Amazon Associates cookies track referral clicks from our site to Amazon product pages. If you click a recommended LED downlight and complete a purchase within 24 hours, Amazon’s cookie attributes that sale to our referral, generating a small commission. These cookies do not share your Amazon order history with us—we only see anonymized conversion counts.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

Most browsers let you block or delete cookies through their settings menu. Disabling analytics cookies won’t prevent you from reading our emergency lighting guides or browsing LED troffer comparisons, but it does limit our ability to improve navigation based on visitor behavior. Blocking Amazon affiliate cookies won’t affect your shopping experience—you’ll still see the same fixture prices and specifications on Amazon.

How Lithonia Lighting Shares Your Information

We share data only when necessary to operate our commercial lighting resource site or comply with legal obligations. Specifically:

Service Providers

Our email platform (such as Mailchimp or ConvertKit) stores subscriber addresses to deliver newsletters featuring new LED high bay reviews or emergency light maintenance tips. Our web hosting provider maintains server logs containing IP addresses and page requests. Analytics services process aggregated traffic data to show us which outdoor security lighting topics resonate most with facility managers. These providers operate under strict data protection agreements and cannot use your information for their own marketing.

Affiliate Partners

Amazon receives referral data when you click a product link, but that data is anonymized—Amazon knows a visitor from our site viewed a specific wall pack model, not your name or email address. We do not share your contact information with Amazon or any other affiliate network.

Legal Requirements

If a court order, subpoena, or government inquiry demands disclosure of user data related to suspected fraud or illegal activity, we comply as required by law. We notify affected users whenever legally permissible.

Data Security Measures at Lithonia Lighting

We protect your information using industry-standard encryption (SSL/TLS) during data transmission between your browser and our servers. Email addresses and contact form submissions are stored on secure, password-protected servers with restricted access. Our hosting provider implements regular security patches and firewalls to prevent unauthorized intrusions.

Despite these safeguards, no online system is completely invulnerable. If a data breach occurs, we will notify affected users within 72 hours via email and post a notice on our homepage, detailing what information was compromised and what steps we’re taking to prevent recurrence.

Your Privacy Rights Under U.S. and International Law

Lithonia Lighting respects privacy regulations across jurisdictions. Depending on your location, you hold specific rights regarding your personal data:

Rights for All Users

• Access: Request a copy of the personal information we hold about you—your email address, contact form submissions, and newsletter subscription status
• Correction: Update inaccurate details in your profile or subscription preferences
• Deletion: Ask us to erase your contact information from our database (subject to legal retention requirements)
• Opt-Out: Unsubscribe from newsletters at any time using the link at the bottom of every email

GDPR Rights (European Union)

If you reside in the EU, you have additional protections under the General Data Protection Regulation. You may:

• Object to our processing of your data for marketing purposes
• Request data portability—receive your information in a structured, machine-readable format to transfer to another service
• Restrict processing—ask us to pause using your data while we investigate a dispute
• Lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority if you believe we’ve mishandled your information

Our lawful basis for processing EU visitor data is legitimate interest (providing commercial lighting guidance) and consent (for newsletter subscriptions). You can withdraw consent at any time without affecting prior processing.

CCPA and CPRA Rights (California)

California residents hold rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act and California Privacy Rights Act. You may:

• Know what personal information we collect, use, and share
• Request deletion of your information
• Opt out of the “sale” of personal information (note: we do not sell data, but Amazon affiliate referrals might be construed as sharing under CCPA—you can disable affiliate cookies in your browser)
• Non-discrimination—we will not deny service, charge different prices, or provide lower-quality fixture information if you exercise your privacy rights

VCDPA (Virginia), CPA (Colorado), CTDPA (Connecticut), UCPA (Utah)

Residents of Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, and Utah enjoy similar rights:

• Confirm whether we process your personal data
• Access and obtain a copy of your data
• Correct inaccuracies
• Delete your information
• Opt out of targeted advertising (our Amazon affiliate links) and profiling

These state laws define “sale” broadly, potentially covering affiliate referrals. If you prefer to browse our LED lighting guides and emergency fixture tutorials without affiliate tracking, disable third-party cookies in your browser settings.

How to Exercise Your Rights

Submit privacy requests via email to the address listed in the Contact Us section below. Include your full name, email address, and specific request (access, deletion, correction). We will respond within 30 days for GDPR requests and 45 days for CCPA/state law requests, verifying your identity before processing. If we need additional time due to request complexity, we’ll notify you and explain the delay.

Children’s Privacy and COPPA Compliance

Lithonia Lighting’s commercial and industrial fixture content is intended for professional contractors, facility managers, electricians, and adult homeowners researching LED lighting solutions. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Our contact forms and newsletter subscriptions are designed for users old enough to make purchasing decisions about high bay fixtures, emergency exit signs, or outdoor security lighting.

If we discover that a child under 13 has submitted a contact form or subscribed to our newsletter, we delete that information immediately. Parents who believe their child’s data was inadvertently collected should contact us at the address below, and we will remove it from our systems within 48 hours.

Third-Party Links on Our Lighting Site

Our fixture guides and product pages include links to Amazon and occasionally to manufacturer spec sheets hosted on external domains. Once you leave Lithonia Lighting’s site, you are subject to the privacy policies of those third parties. We do not control Amazon’s data practices, manufacturer cookie policies, or the security measures of external technical documentation sites.

Before entering personal information on a third-party site, review their privacy policy. Amazon’s privacy terms, for instance, govern how they handle your purchase history, shipping address, and payment details—none of which we have access to through our affiliate relationship.

International Data Transfers

Lithonia Lighting operates from the United States, and our servers are located in U.S. data centers. If you access our site from the European Union, Canada, or another jurisdiction with stricter data protection laws, your information is transferred to and processed in the United States, where privacy regulations differ from your home country.

For EU visitors, we rely on Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission to safeguard your data during international transfers. Our hosting and email providers have also implemented appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect EU personal data in compliance with GDPR.

Data Retention for Commercial Lighting Inquiries

We retain your information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy:

• Newsletter subscribers: We store your email address until you unsubscribe. After unsubscribing, we keep a suppression record (email address only) to honor your opt-out preference and prevent accidental re-subscription.
• Contact form submissions: Inquiries about specific fixtures, installation questions, or partnership requests are retained for two years to track correspondence history and improve our support quality. After two years, we delete the submission unless ongoing communication requires longer retention.
• Analytics data: Google Analytics aggregates and anonymizes visitor behavior after 26 months. We review traffic trends monthly but do not store raw log files beyond standard server retention periods (typically 90 days).
• Affiliate referral data: Amazon provides anonymized commission reports that we archive for accounting purposes. These reports contain no personal identifiers—only product categories and referral counts.

If you request deletion under GDPR or CCPA, we erase your data within 30 days, subject to legal exceptions (e.g., tax records, fraud investigations).

Email Communications from Lithonia Lighting

We send two types of emails: transactional and marketing. Transactional emails—such as confirmation messages after submitting a contact form—are necessary to provide the service you requested and cannot be opted out of individually (though you can choose not to use the contact form). Marketing emails, including our monthly newsletter featuring new LED troffer reviews, emergency lighting compliance updates, and outdoor flood light comparisons, are entirely optional.

Every marketing email includes an unsubscribe link at the bottom. Clicking it removes your address from our mailing list within 48 hours. You can also manage preferences by emailing us directly. We do not send unsolicited fixture promotions to addresses collected from public directories or purchased mailing lists—every subscriber explicitly opted in through our website.

Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers offer “Do Not Track” (DNT) settings, sending a signal to websites requesting that they not track user behavior. Currently, there is no universal standard for how websites should interpret DNT signals. Lithonia Lighting does not alter its data collection practices in response to DNT signals, but you can still disable cookies and analytics tracking through your browser’s privacy settings. Blocking third-party cookies prevents Amazon affiliate tracking, and disabling JavaScript stops Google Analytics from recording your visit—though this may limit interactive features on our site.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

As Lithonia Lighting expands fixture coverage, adds new lighting categories, or updates service providers, we may revise this policy to reflect those changes. When we make material updates—such as altering how we share data with third parties or implementing new tracking technologies—we will post a notice on our homepage and update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page.

Continued use of our commercial lighting guides and product pages after policy changes constitutes acceptance of the revised terms. We encourage contractors, facility managers, and homeowners to review this policy periodically, especially before submitting contact forms or subscribing to newsletters. Significant changes affecting GDPR or CCPA rights will be communicated via email to active subscribers.
