Overview
Elsaco
does not rent, trade, loan, or sell your personal information, or any
other information which may identify you, to third parties. We are committed
to protecting our customers' privacy. The information we collect is used
to process your order and to enhance your shopping experience. We also
monitor customer traffic patterns and site usage in order to help us refine
the design and layout of the store. For more detailed information on our
privacy policy, please continue reading.
Your Personal Information
When
you place an order at our site, you provide us with your name, email address,
address, and phone number. We use this information to process your order
and keep you up to date on its status. The financial information (expiration
date, billing address, etc.) that we collect from you is used for billing
purposes only.
Elsaco
may occasionally notify you via email about important functionality changes
to our web site or special offers we think you'll find valuable. At the
bottom of every such email are directions on how to take your email address
off our list.
We
may use your Internet Protocol (IP) address and ISP name to help us diagnose
problems with our server, and administer our web site. Your IP address
may also be used to gather broad demographic information, as well as identify
customer traffic patterns and site usage. This information aids us in
merchandising and in refining the design and layout of the store.
Cookies
"Cookies"
are small pieces of information that are stored by the browser onto your
computer's hard drive. There are two types of cookies, "Stored"
and "Per-Session". Stored cookies are saved onto your hard drive
permanently whereas session cookies are not. If our web site is left idle
for over 30 minutes or if the browser is closed, the per-session cookie
will be deleted as well. We use cookies to keep track of your current
shopping session. Elsaco does not use cookies to store/retrieve your personal
information. By default, most web browsers have both types of cookies
enabled, but these settings can be altered. To place an order on our website,
per session cookies have to be enabled, but stored cookies do not.
Contests and Surveys
From
time to time, we may run contests or other promotions on our site that
ask you for contact and demographic information. If you win, we will send
your prize to the address you entered into our system, and notify you
by email. We may also use your contact information to notify you about
Elsaco promotions, specials, and new additions to our site. If you prefer
not to receive these emails, please follow the simple instructions on
the bottom of such an email, and we will remove you from our mailing list.
Elsaco
may also occasionally administer surveys at our site that request your
opinions and demographic information. Here, we do not ask you for contact
information, and we will never contact you regarding your answers to a
survey. Survey answers are strictly confidential. We only use survey data
in an effort to better serve our customers. If you do not wish to participate
in a survey, simply decline to participate when asked.
Statistics
Elsaco
may provide aggregate statistics about our customers, sales, traffic patterns,
and other shopping information, to reputable third-party vendors or our
marketing partners. These statistics will not include any information
that identifies you personally.
Your Consent
By
using our web site, you are agreeing to let us collect the aforementioned
information (please see the above) and use it in the said manner. If we
decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on this
page. Elsaco will cooperate with law enforcement agencies to identify
any individual who attempts to use our services for illegal activities.
We will also report any activity we believe to be unlawful, to the proper
authorities. Additionally, we may release account information when we
feel that such a release is necessary to enforce the terms of our user
agreement, or to protect the rights, property, and safety of our users,
Elsaco, or others. Other sites accessible through Elsaco have their own
privacy policies and data collection practices. Please consult each site's
privacy policy. Elsaco is not responsible for the actions of third-parties.
