ELC may collect certain information from you through the Site, including personal information (i.e., individual information that may be used to personally identify or contact you). Collection is done both actively (information you voluntarily submit to us) and passively (information automatically gathered from your computer within our site analytic capabilities).
At several places on our Site, we collect certain information you voluntarily provide to us which may contain personally identifiable information. For example, if you make a donation, request information, fill out a form through the site, we may collect your name, phone and email.
Our website content platform automatically collects certain information from your computer (such as your Internet address and browser type) using two methods: (1) “cookies” and (2) log files.
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user’s hard drive containing information about the user. Usage of a cookie is not linked to any personally identifiable information while on our site. We use cookies to track a user’s path for security purposes, to collect aggregate web statistics and in an effort to enhance the experience on our site. If you wish to block, erase, or be warned of cookies, please refer to your browser instructions or help screen to learn about these functions. If a user rejects a cookie, they may still use our site, however they will be limited in some of its areas. For example, the user may not receive certain information from us.
Log Files. We use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the site, track user’s movement, and gather very broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information.
ELC is the sole owner of the information collected on this site. Personal information that you provide (such as a personal email address) may be used by ELC in the following ways:
We will not sell, share, or rent any personal information to others in ways different from what is disclosed in this statement without first obtaining your authorization. We may provide aggregate information (i.e., information we collect that does not allow you to be personally identified or contacted) to third parties, such as our marketing firm, without your authorization, such as information about your access and use of the site.
We may disclose personal information you provide to independent contractors, volunteers, agencies, service providers and consultants who are engaged by or working with ELC and who need access to such information to carry out their programs or services.
Please note: This site contains links to other sites. Please be aware that ELC is not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage our users/subscribers to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of every web site that collects personally identifiable information. Similarly, if you entered this site through another website, ELC is also not responsible for the privacy practices of that site, and you should review the privacy policy of the originating site before providing any personal information to that site. This privacy statement applies solely to information collected on this site.
We use reasonable precautions to protect user information online. For example, our employee’s computers are password protected, and we provide regular education to our employees regarding our security and privacy practices.
If you wish to verify, correct or delete any personal information, please contact us by calling (630) 766-3570 and we will correct, update or remove the personal data you have provided us as you indicate to the extent such information is not necessary to complete any services or transactions with us.
You may “opt-out” of receiving communications from ELC, except to the extent such information is necessary to complete any services or transactions you have entered into, by emailing us at aoliva@embraceliving.org or call us at (630) 766-3570.
