Pillars of Privacy

Transparency

Confidence comes from knowing. We share the “how” and “why” so customers can clearly see the benefits, uses and protections built into our products and services.

Johnson Controls' Global Privacy Office is committed to strengthening our protection measures through our operational framework by demonstrating transparency, commitment and building trust from our employees, customers and regulators. 

At Johnson Controls, we pride ourselves on developing products and processes based on the common principles underlying global privacy and data protection laws. We do this in a way that places “integrity first.” This means we operate with integrity designing our products to use data in an ethical way and not only to be legally compliant.

Globally, we work tirelessly to keep pace with regulatory revisions and new guidance in order to best serve the needs of our customers, employees and partners – wherever they may be. As the world evolves, we evolve with it.

Johnson Controls understands the commitment involved in supporting the high standards we incorporate into our products and services. A prime example is our OpenBlue platform. OpenBlue is a complete suite of connected solutions that combines our 135 years of expertise with cutting-edge technology, supporting privacy and data security on site or through the cloud by incorporating our Privacy by Design framework.
