 |  |  Privacy Policy Overview 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. Information Collection and Use We do not collect information that personally identifies you (i.e., 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 indicates which parts of our
site users are visiting. We do not link IP addresses to personally identifiable
information. This means that a user's session will be tracked, but the user's
identity will be anonymous to us.
Our site may also use order forms to enable site visitors to
request information, products and services. We collect visitors' contact
information, such as their e-mail addresses, from the order form
to send information about us to them.
We may administer online surveys to gather information about
your views and/or usage of our products and services, the usefulness of
our Web site or other related matters. Your participation in our online
surveys is voluntary. If you choose to participate, the information you
provide will be used to improve our Web site, products and services.
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 "Cookies" are small text files placed in your computer's browser that store
certain preferences and information, which may enhance your web browsing experience.
This site may use cookies for any of a variety of reasons, including but not
limited to improving quality, enhancing our understanding of how users interact
with us, and for session management purposes. If for some reason you would
rather not take advantage of the benefits made possible by cookies, most web
browsers allow you to reject cookies or to choose which cookies to accept.
However, certain features of the Web site may not work as intended or may be
slowed if you decline to accept cookies. Information Sharing and Disclosure Except as provided in this Policy, 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. 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 maintain reasonable 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. Electronic safeguards include technology such as firewalls
and Secure Sockets Layers (SSL) to protect and encrypt certain sensitive
transmissions of information. However, you should keep in mind that this
Web site is run on software, hardware, and networks, any component of
which may, from time to time, require maintenance, experience problems
or breaches of security. You are solely responsible for maintaining the
confidentiality of any username and/or password and are responsible for
any unauthorized use. Deleting or Changing Your Information If you would like to receive a copy of the personal information we have
