Brinks Home™ receives your IP address each time you visit our Website to browse, read, or download information. It may be used for various purposes, including diagnosing service or technology problems reported by you that are associated with your IP address, and for estimating the total number of users visiting the Website from specific locales, countries or regions of the world.

When a web page on the Website is requested, that request (including the date and time) is logged on our servers with information including the IP address of the computer that requested the page.

We use log files for debugging and troubleshooting purposes. IP addresses and access times are not linked to your email address or any other personally identifiable information.
