Introduction
At ERI we value your privacy. Because our Web site permits
individuals to submit information via e-mail, we have developed
this Privacy Policy to inform users of our Web site of our policies
and practices regarding such information.
Information Collected
Personally Identifying Information
ERI does not collect personally identifying information (such as a
user's name, address, telephone number or email address) about
users of our Web site, except when specifically and knowingly
provided by such users. For example, users of our Web site are able
to send e-mail to ERI, and their messages will contain a user's
screen name and e-mail address, as well as any additional
information the user may include in the message. Although ERI
provides users with an opportunity to send e-mail through our Web
site, ERI does not intend to solicit personally identifying
information through such means. Instead, by providing an e-mail
option, we intend to provide a means by which users may send
comments and communications to us or request information from us.
These messages are forwarded to the appropriate persons at ERI to
respond, at their discretion, to the questions or comments.
Non-Personal Information
In some cases, we may collect non-personal information. Examples
of this type of information include the type of internet browser
you are using, the type of computer operating system you are using
and the domain name of the web site from which you linked to our
site or advertisement. We may use this information for various
purposes, including system administration.
Cookies
A cookie is a string of text that is placed on users' hard drives
when their browser points to sites that use cookies. We do not use
cookies on the Site.
Use of Information
ERI does not share personally identifiable information with third
parties. ERI may use personally identifiable information from user
emails sent to us to contact users in the limited circumstances
noted above.
Security
ERI is committed to taking reasonable steps to ensure the security
of your information. To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data
accuracy, and ensure the appropriate use of information, we have
put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial
procedures to safeguard and secure the information provided to ERI.
Once submitted, your personal information is protected through the
use of a secure server. The secure server software encrypts all
information you input before it is sent to us. Furthermore, all of
the user data we collect is protected against unauthorized
access.
Your Consent
By using this web site, you consent to our use of your personally
identifiable information and non-personal data as specified above.
If ERI decides to change this Privacy Policy, we will post those
changes on this page, so you are always aware of what information
we collect, how we use it and under what circumstances we disclose
it.
Concerns and Comments
You may contact us with any
further questions or concerns regarding this Privacy Policy or any
use of your personally identifying information.
