ELT Privacy Policy
ELT has created this Privacy Policy to demonstrate our firm commitment to privacy. We deeply value the privacy of our clients and website visitors. The following discloses our information gathering and dissemination practices for www.elt.com.
Information Collection
We may use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server, and to administer our web site. Your IP address is used to help identify you.
Our site may use cookies to deliver content specific to your interests.
Personally Identifiable Data
Our site's registration forms may require visitors to give us personally identifiable data, including contact information (name and e-mail address). We use visitor contact information from the registration forms to send the user information about our company. The visitor's contact information is also used to contact the visitor when necessary or when contact is requested. Users may opt-out of receiving future mailings from ELT; see the choice/opt-out section below.
By voluntarily providing us with personally identifiable data, you are consenting to our use of it in accordance with this Privacy Policy. If you provide personally identifiable data to ELT, you acknowledge and agree that such data may be transferred from your current location to the offices and servers of ELT and the authorized third parties referred to herein located in the United States.
Non-Identifiable Data
When you interact with ELT through the website, we receive and store certain personally non-identifiable information. Such information, which is collected passively using various technologies, cannot presently be used to specifically identify you. ELT may store such information to itself or such information may be included in databases owned and maintained by ELT affiliates, agents or service providers. The website may use such information and pool it with other information to track, for example, the total number of visitors to our site, the number of visitors to each page of our website, and the domain names of our visitors’ internet service providers. It is important to note that no personally identifiable data is available or used in this process.
In operating this website, we may use a technology called “cookies.” A cookie is a piece of information that the computer hosts that our website gives to your browser when you access the website. Our cookies help provide additional functionality to the website and help us analyze website usage more accurately. For instance, our website may set a cookie on your browser that allows you to access the website without needing to remember and then enter a password more than once during a visit to the website. In all cases in which we use cookies, we will not collect personally identifiable data except with your permission. On most web browsers, you will find a “help” section on the toolbar. Please refer to this section for information on how to receive notification when you are receiving a new cookie and how to turn cookies off. We recommend that you leave cookies turned on because they allow you to take advantage of some of the website’s features.
Aggregated Personal Data
In an ongoing effort to better understand and serve the users of ELT’s services, ELT often conducts research on its customer demographics, interests and behavior based on the personally identifiable data and other information provided to us. Demographic data, including zip code information, may be used to tailor the visitor’s experience at our site. This research may be compiled and analyzed on an aggregate basis, and ELT may share this aggregate data with its affiliates, agents and business partners. This aggregate information does not identify you personally. ELT may also disclose aggregated user statistics in order to describe our services to current and prospective business partners, and to other third parties for other lawful purposes.
Information Use
ELT uses the personally identifiable data you provide in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Policy. If you provide personally identifiable data for a certain reason, we may use the data in connection with the reasons for which it was provided. For instance, if you contact us by e-mail, we will use the personally identifiable data you provide to answer your question or resolve your problem. Also, if you provide personally identifiable data in order to obtain access to ELT’s services, we will use your personally identifiable data to provide you with access to such services and to monitor your use of such services. ELT and its subsidiaries and affiliates may also use your personally identifiable data and other personally non-identifiable information collected through the website to help us improve the content and functionality of the website, to better understand our users and to improve ELT’s services. ELT and its affiliates may use this information to contact you in the future to tell you about services we believe will be of interest to you. If we do so, each communication we send you will contain instructions permitting you to “opt-out” of receiving future communications. In addition, if at any time you wish not to receive any future communications or you wish to have your name deleted from our mailing lists, please contact us as indicated below.
If ELT intends on using any personally identifiable data in any manner that is not consistent with this Privacy Policy, you will be informed of such anticipated use prior to or at the time at which the personally identifiable data is collected.
Information Sharing and Disclosure
ELT does not share personally identifiable data it obtains from visitors who send e-mail, order forms or registration forms to ELT with any third parties, nor does it sell personally identifiable data to third parties, unless it is expressly authorized to do so. Notwithstanding the foregoing, ELT may disclose your personally identifiable data to certain third parties without further notice to you, as set forth below:
Business Transfers: As we develop our business, we might sell or buy business assets. In the event of a corporate sale, merger, reorganization, dissolution or similar event, personally identifiable data may be part of the transferred assets.
Related Companies: We may also share your personally identifiable data with our subsidiaries and affiliates for purposes consistent with this Privacy Policy.
Agents, Consultants and Related Third Parties: ELT, like many businesses, sometimes hires other companies to perform certain business-related functions. Examples of such functions include mailing information, maintaining databases and processing payments. When we employ another company to perform a function of this nature, we only provide them with the information that they need to perform their specific function.
Legal Requirements: ELT may disclose your personally identifiable data if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to (i) comply with a legal obligation, (ii) protect and defend the rights or property of ELT, (iii) act in urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of the website or the public, or (iv) protect against any legal liability.
Public Forums
This site may make forums, message boards, and/or news groups available to its users. Please remember that any information that is disclosed in these areas becomes public information and you should exercise caution when deciding to disclose your personal information. This Privacy Policy does not apply to any personally identifiable data collected by ELT other than personally identifiable data collected through the website. All unsolicited information, including any ideas for new products or modifications to existing products, and other unsolicited submissions shall be deemed to be non-confidential and ELT shall be free to reproduce, use, disclose and distribute such unsolicited information to others without limitation or attribution.
Security
This site has security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our control. However, no internet or e-mail transmission is ever fully secure or error-free. In particular, e-mail sent to or from this website may not be secure. Therefore, you should take special care in deciding what information you send to us via e-mail. Please keep this in mind when disclosing any personally identifiable data to ELT via the internet.
