At RS, we're committed to protecting your privacy.

When you request technical literature or printed information, we may ask you for information that allows us to more clearly determine your needs and to help insure that you will be satisfied with the information that we will send to you.

When you enter a contest or other promotional feature, we may ask for your name, address, e-mail address, etc. so that we can administer the contest and notify winners.

We may also use the information we collect to occasionally notify you about important functionality changes to the web site, new RS Electronics services and special offers that we believe you'll find valuable.

How does RS Electronics protect customer information?

When you place orders or request information, we offer the use of a secure server. The secure server software (SSL) encrypts all information you input before it is sent to us. Furthermore, all of the customer data we collect is protected against unauthorized access.

Will RS Electronics disclose the information it collects to outside parties?

Generally, RS does not sell, trade or rent your personal information or business history to others. As an authorized distributor, we are contractually bound to share aggregate statistics about our customers and sales with our suppliers. However, these statistics include no personally identifying or financial information.

Occasionally, we will share information gathered during promotions with suppliers with whom we have a contractual relationship and who have co-operatively invested in the promotion with us.

If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on this page so that you are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances we disclose it.
