WEBSITE PRIVACY POLICY
Effective January 1, 2004
E-Four Technologies knows that you care how information about you is used and
shared, and we have created this Site Privacy Policy to demonstrate our firm
commitment to do so reasonably and responsibly.
This Site Privacy Policy describes our information gathering and dissemination
practices for the Web sites: www.efourtech.com (the "Site") and our secure alias
domain apps.efourtech.com which hosts our web-based application; R.E.I.P.!. E-Four Technologies has a separate privacy policy that governs
our use of information that is gathered as part of the
E-Four Technologies Service.
Information You Give Us.
We receive and store any information you enter on our Site or give us in any
other way. However, we do not collect any personal information about you unless
you voluntarily submit such information to us. Our Site uses an order form for
you to request information, products, and services. Contact information (like
your e-mail address) from the subscription form is collected and used to send
you information about our company or otherwise get in touch with you. Of course,
you can choose not to provide certain information, but then you will not be able
to take advantage of many of our features. You may also choose not to receive
e-mail or other mail from us: see the Choices section below.
How about children?
We do not wish to obtain personal information from children who are using our
Site unsupervised. Thus, we ask children to obtain the consent of their parent
or guardian before providing us with any personal information.
How about cookies?
Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your computer's hard
drive through your Web browser to enable our systems to recognize your browser
and connection capabilities so that our Site can provide you with the optimal
user experience. We also use cookies to store session variables for use in our
web applications, and Site visitor tracking. The information we collect is
anonymous and E-Four Technologies has no way of accessing any of your personally
identifiable information through this system. The "help" portion of the toolbar
on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new
cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you are to receive a new
cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether. However, the cookies we use are
important for us to enhance your user experience, we recommend that you leave
them turned on.
Use of Information.
We use the information you provide us to perform the services for which such
data was collected. For example, if you sign up for an e-mail newsletter, we
will send the e-mail newsletter to the address you provide us. We also use the
information you provide us for internal marketing purposes and for
administration of the Site.
How about third parties?
Information about our customers is an important part of our business, and we use
it responsibly. We employ or partner with other companies and individuals to
perform functions on our behalf. Examples include processing credit card
payments and providing marketing assistance. These agents have access to
personal information needed to perform their functions, but may not use it for
other purposes. However, we may sell aggregated (non-personally identifiable)
information about our users generally. Also, we release personal information
when we believe release is appropriate to comply with law or protect the rights,
property, or safety of E-Four Technologies Inc., its users, or others. Finally,
in the unlikely event that E-Four Technologies Inc., or substantially all of its
assets are acquired, customer information will of course be one of the
transferred assets.
Security.
We use industry-standard methods to protect your personal information from
unauthorized access. Among other techniques, we usually store such information
on a computer behind our "firewall" in a secure location, and we often restrict
the number of employees internally who can access such data. Of course, there is
no such thing as "perfect security" on the Internet.
Choice.
As discussed above, you can always choose not to provide certain information,
even though it might be needed to take advantage of many of our features. You
have the following options for changing and modifying information previously
provided or removing your information from our database so as not to receive
future communications:
1. You can send a e-mail to webmaster@efourtech.com
2. Clearing fields from your profile in R.E.I.P.!
Amendments.
We may from time to time revise this policy by updating this posting. Amendments
to this policy will be effective when posted. You should therefore periodically
visit this page to review the current Site Privacy Policy, so you are aware of
any such revisions to which you are bound.
This Site contains links to other sites. E-Four Technologies Inc. is not
responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such web sites.
