Enformion Privacy Statement
If you feel that this company is not abiding by its posted privacy policy, you
should first email privacy@enformion.com.
Information Collection and Use
ENFORMION.com is the sole owner of the information collected on this site. We will
not sell, share, or rent this information to others in ways different from what
is disclosed in this statement. ENFORMION.com collects information from our users
at several different points on our website and uses the information for
internal marketing and administration purposes only.
Registration
In order to use this website, a user must first complete the registration form.
During registration a user is required to give their contact information (such
as name and email address). This information is used to contact the user about
the services on our site for which they have expressed interest. It is optional
for the user to provide demographic information (such as income level and
gender), and unique identifiers (such as social security number), but
encouraged so we can provide a more personalized experience on our site.
Order
We request information from the user on our order form. Here a user must
provide contact information (like name and shipping address) and financial
information (like credit card number, expiration date). This information is
used for billing purposes and to fill customer orders. If we have trouble
processing an order, this contact information is used to get in touch with the
user.
Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's hard drive containing
information about the user. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any
personally identifiable information while on our site. Once the user closes
their browser, the cookie simply terminates. For instance, by setting a cookie
on our site, the user would not have to log in a password more than once,
thereby saving time while on our site. If a user rejects the cookie, they may
not use our site because we would have no way of validating the user. Cookies
can also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance
the experience on our site.
Log Files
We use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the site, track user
movement, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP
addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information.
Sharing
We will share aggregated demographic information with our partners and
advertisers. This is not linked to any personal information that can identify
any individual person.
We use an outside credit card processing company to bill users for goods and
services. These companies do not retain, share, store or use personally
identifiable information for any secondary purposes.
Links
This web site contains links to other sites. Please be aware that ENFORMION.com is
not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage our
users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements
of each and every web site that collects personally identifiable information.
This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by this Web site.
Surveys & Contests
From time-to-time our site requests information from users via surveys or
contests. Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary
and the user therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose this
information. Information requested may include contact information (such as
name and shipping address), and demographic information (such as zip code, age
level). Contact information will be used to notify the winners and award
prizes. Survey information will be used for purposes of monitoring or improving
the use and satisfaction of this site.
Security
This website takes every precaution to protect our user's information. When
users submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected both online and off-line.
When our registration/order form asks users to enter sensitive information (such
as credit card number and/or social security number), that information is
encrypted and is protected with the best encryption software in the industry -
SSL. While on a secure page, such as our order form, the lock icon on the
bottom of Web browsers such as Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet
Explorer becomes locked, as opposed to un-locked, or open, when you are just
surfing. To learn more about SSL, follow this link www.verisign.com.
While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also do
everything in our power to protect user-information off-line. All of our users
information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted
in our offices. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific
job (for example, our billing clerk or a customer service representative) are
granted access to personally identifiable information. Our employees must use
password-protected screen-savers when they leave their desk. When they return,
they must re-enter their password to re-gain access to your information.
Furthermore, ALL employees are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy
practices. Every quarter, as well as any time new policies are added, our
employees are notified and/or reminded about the importance we place on
privacy, and what they can do to ensure our customers information is
protected. Finally, the servers that we store personally identifiable
information on are kept in a secure environment, behind a locked cage.
If you have any questions about the security at our website, you can send an
email to security@enformion.com
Supplementation of Information
ENFORMION.com does not supplement user information collected on our site with information from third party sources.
Special Offers
We send all new members a welcoming email.Established members will occasionally
receive information on products,services, special deals, and a newsletter. Out of
respect for the privacy of our users we present the option to not receive these types of
communications. Please see our choice and opt-out below.
Site and Service Updates
We also send the user site and service announcement updates. Members are not
able to un-subscribe from service announcements, which contain important
information about the service. We communicate with the user to provide
requested services and in regards to issues relating to their account via email or phone.
Correction/Updating Personal Information:
If a user's personally identifiable information changes (such as your zip
code), or if a user no longer desires our service, we will endeavor to provide
a way to correct, update or remove that user's personal data provided to us.
This can usually be done at the member information page or by emailing our Customer Support.
Choice/Opt-out
Our users are given the opportunity to opt-out of having their information
used for purposes not directly related to our site at the point where we ask
for the information. For example, our order form has an opt-out mechanism so
users who buy a product from us, but don't want any marketing material, can
keep their email address off of our lists.
Users who no longer wish to receive our newsletter or promotional materials from
our partners may opt-out of receiving these communications by replying to
unsubscribe in the subject line in the email or email us at
support@enformion.com
[Some sites are able to offer opt-out mechanisms on member information pages
and also supply a telephone or postal option as a way to opt-out.]
Users of our site are always notified when their information is being collected
by any outside parties. We do this so our users can make an informed choice as
to whether they should proceed with services that require an outside party, or not.
Notification of Changes
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on our
Homepage so our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we
use it, and under circumstances, if any, we disclose it. If at any point we
decide to use personally identifiable information in a manner different from
that stated at the time it was collected, we will notify users by way of an
email. Users will have a choice as to whether or not we use their information
in this different manner. We will use information in accordance with the
privacy policy under which the information was collected.
