EkoDisk.com
will never give your information to anyone anytime, period.
Customer
and User Information
EkoDisk.com
realizes that the growth of the Internet has created privacy
concerns, particularly for individuals. EkoDisk.com recognizes
the need to protect the privacy of our customers and users
of our services. The company maintains strict customer information
privacy policies and uses third party technologies to safeguard
customer information and communications from unauthorized
intrusions.
Online
privacy concerns focus on the protection of "identifiable" information
which an individual or other customer reasonably expects
to be kept private. As the term suggests, "identifiable" information
is information which can be associated with a specific individual
or entity, including, for example, a customer's name, address,
or telephone number, e-mail address, and information about
online activities that are directly linked to them.
It
is common practice and often necessary for companies, organizations,
or governments to collect identifiable information in order
to conduct business and offer services. For example, a telecommunications
provider may collect identifiable information, such as name,
address, telephone number, and a variety of other information
in the course of billing and providing telephone service
to a customer.
Some
activities on the Internet follow very familiar patterns.
Consumers signing up for an Internet access service, for
example, are usually asked to provide name, address, telephone
number and credit card and other information that is typical
when the consumer orders a product or service. Similarly,
business web sites may ask visitors to supply information
about themselves, particularly when information, services
or merchandise are requested, but often simply to be able
to better target the company's services to the customer's
interests and requirements.
EkoDisk.com
keeps "identifiable" questions to a minimum, only
accepting email addresses on a voluntary ("opt in")
basis. Other non-"identifiable" questions may be
asked when submitting the "opt in" email address
to provide EkoDisk.com with information about our users.
We use this information to provide our users with the best
experience possible.
EkoDisk.com's
Online Privacy Policy: Informed Choice
EkoDisk.com
has put in place the following Online Privacy Policy to protect
identifiable information. This policy covers EkoDisk.com
and its subsidiaries, except as follows, and applies to all
identifiable information that EkoDisk.com obtains when a
customer registers for or uses a EkoDisk.com online service,
including visiting a EkoDisk.com owned and controlled web
site.
EkoDisk.com
protects online identifiable information as follows:
Disclosure:
EkoDisk.com will not sell, trade, or disclose to third parties
any identifiable information derived from the registration
for or use of a EkoDisk.com online service -- including customer
names and addresses -- without the consent of the customer
(except as required by subpoena, search warrant, or other
legal process or in the case of imminent physical harm to
the customer or others). When EkoDisk.com uses other agents,
contractors or companies to perform services on its behalf,
EkoDisk.com will ensure that the company protects your identifiable
information consistent with this Policy. If EkoDisk.com includes
your name and any other identifiable information in a directory
that EkoDisk.com creates from information we receive as an
online service provider, the company will give you the opportunity
to have your information excluded from that directory. Directories
that EkoDisk.com creates may, however, contain information
obtained from other sources.
Collection
and Use: EkoDisk.com will collect and use identifiable information
to mail Newsletters, to provide and change service, to anticipate
and resolve problems with your service, to create and inform
you of products and services that better meet your needs,
or for billing purposes. This means that EkoDisk.com may
use your identifiable information, in conjunction with information
available from other sources, to market new services to you
that we think will be of interest to you, but we will not
disclose your identifiable information to third parties who
want to market products to you.
Customer
Choice: A customer may choose not to receive direct marketing
communications from EkoDisk.com. Upon such choice, EkoDisk.com
(a) will not contact that customer directly with marketing
messages about EkoDisk.com online services, and (b) will
not use identifiable information obtained from that customer's
registration for or use of an online service to contact that
customer with marketing messages about any EkoDisk.com services
or products. A customer may choose not to receive such messages
by e-mail, by mail, or by telephone.

just as if the information had been provided under more traditional
ways of ordering that service.

Additional
Privacy Protections for Children Using the Internet
EkoDisk.com
recognizes that children, including young teens, may not
be able to make informed choices about personal information
requested online.
Accordingly,
EkoDisk.com does not target children or teenagers (younger
than eighteen years of age) for collection of information
online. EkoDisk.com does not solicit or collect customer
identifiable information targeted at children and teenagers
under eighteen and does not allow anyone else to do so on
our site. In addition, the editorial content of EkoDisk.com
designed for children will not knowingly promote or link
to any third party web site that collects customer identifiable
information unless that web site publishes a privacy policy
that is easily accessible.
Finally,
EkoDisk.com will encourage children to seek the consent of
their parents before providing any information about themselves
or their households to anyone on the Internet. We will also
encourage parents to take an active role to protect the privacy
and security of their children and to prevent the inappropriate
use of information about their children. EkoDisk.com supports
the development of technologies that help parents to control
the collection and use of personal information from children
who use online services in their households.
Changes
in Practices: EkoDisk.com will keep this Policy current
and will inform you of any changes that we make.
