This privacy policy ("Privacy
Policy") applies to your use of this Web site of Constellation
Energy Group, Inc. or one of its affiliates ("us" or "we"). We
have created this Privacy Policy in order to demonstrate our
firm commitment to privacy and to disclose our information
gathering and dissemination practices. Using this Web site
indicates that you accept the terms of this Privacy Policy, so
please read it carefully before any use. If you do not accept
the terms of this Privacy Policy, then do not use this Web site.
We reserve the right to amend this Privacy Policy at any time at
our sole discretion and without notice to you.
Information Collection and Use
We do not collect personally identifiable information about you
(i.e., personally identifiable information about you such as
your name, address, telephone number, and e-mail address) unless
you provide it to us voluntarily or you use one of our vendor
applications such as online payment and account management
programs. We use data provided by users to tailor and deliver
services to suit the particular needs of our clients. We may use
demographic and profile information to tailor a user's
experience at our site, showing them the content that we think
they might be interested in as well as displaying the content
according to the user's preferences.
This Web site may collect certain non-personally identifiable
information about you which is made available by your browser,
computer hardware and/or software, including but not limited to
your IP address, browser type, operating system, domain name,
access times and referring Web site addresses. This information
is used to operate the service, to maintain and improve quality
of the service, and to provide general statistics regarding use
of our Web sites.
We may use your IP address to help administer our Web site. IP
addresses are logged to track a user's session. This tells us
the region our site visitors come from and gives us an idea of
which parts of our site users are visiting. We do not link IP
addresses to anything personally identifiable. This means that a
user's session will be tracked, but the user will be anonymous.
Our site may also use order forms for site visitors to request
information, products and services. We collect visitors' contact
information, like their e-mail addresses. Contact information
from the order form is used to send information about us to our
site visitors.
Children's Privacy
We comply with the Child Online Protection Act of 1998. We do
not wish to collect or disseminate personal information from
children under 13 years of age. If we become aware that a user
under the age of 13 has submitted information or is attempting
to submit information, we will notify the user that he or she is
not eligible to submit information to us, and we will expunge
any personally identifiable information from our records.
Cookies and Tracking Information
This site may use cookies for any of a variety of reasons,
including but not limited to improving quality, better
understanding how users interact with us, for session management
purposes. If for some reason you would rather not take advantage
of the benefits made possible with cookies, most browsers allow
you to reject cookies or to choose which cookies to accept.
Information Sharing and Disclosure
We do not willfully disclose individually identifiable
information about our users to anyone outside of our corporate
family without first receiving that user's permission,
preventing this information from appearing in unauthorized
mailings and other solicitations. In addition, Baltimore Gas and
Electric Company will not share confidential customer
information with other Constellation Energy companies except to
the extent permitted by applicable law and regulation. We may
occasionally hire other companies to provide limited services on
our behalf, including but not limited to packaging, mailing and
delivering purchases, answering customer questions about
products or services, sending postal mail and processing event
registration. We will only provide those companies the
information they need to deliver the service, and we will tell
them that they are prohibited from using that information for
any other purpose.
We may disclose your personal information if required to do so
by law or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary
to (a) comply with law or legal process served on us, (b)
protect and defend our rights or property, or (c) act in urgent
circumstances to protect the personal safety of us, our
employees, users of our products or services, or members of the
public.
We may share certain aggregated information with others, such as
the number of users performing searches and how many visits were
made to a particular Web page.
Third Party Sites
This site may contain links to third party sites not owned or
operated by us. We are not responsible for the privacy practices
or the content of such Web sites operated by third parties. Once
you have left our Web site, we suggest you check the applicable
privacy policy of the third party Web site to determine how they
will handle any information they collect from you.
Information Protection and Security
We maintains physical, electronic and procedural safeguards to
restrict access to your personally identifiable information to
employees and personnel who need to know such information in
order to operate, develop or improve our services. Any such
personal information is transferred to our servers.
