Use and Disclosure

That agreement might be written, verbal or implied from the conduct of the individual.

If ADT Security engages anyone to do something on its behalf (for example, mailing houses, suppliers of internet support services, auditors, debt collection agencies, process servers or lawyers]) then ADT Security and the service provider may exchange information for the purposes for which the service provider has been engaged.

We also use personal information for planning, product development and research purposes.

Access and Correction

Generally ADT Security allows individuals access to the information it holds about them within a reasonable time after they have made a request for access. In some instances ADT Security will refuse to give an individual access to information. If it does so it will provide that individual with the reason it has refused them access.

ADT Security will correct information it has about an individual if it discovers, or the individual is able to show, the information is incorrect.
