Security
When you send confidential personal account data to us on an EiP. website, we require that a "secure session" be established first using secure socket layer (ssl).


Information collection
Personal information such as your name, address, telephone number or e-mail address -- is not collected as you browse. EiP does, however, use "cookies" to collect information about how our site is used. Information, such as the server your computer is logged on to, your browser type (for example, netscape or internet explorer), and whether you responded to an EiP banner add or e-mail is collected and tracked in aggregate. This information is used for the purpose of measuring response rates to our banner ad or e-mail offers. Registration for online products and services. In order to provide you with a particular product or service online, we may request that you supply us voluntarily with personal information, including your e-mail address.


Information use
We may use information you have given us, for example, to provide a service, ensure proper billing, measure consumer interest in our various services and inform you about products and services. If you provide us with your e-mail address or have done so in the past, or if we obtain your e-mail address from another source, we may send you e-mail offers. These offers may be based on information you provided in your initial transaction with us, in surveys, from information that may indicate purchasing preferences and lifestyle, as well as information available from external sources, such as merchants and marketing organisations. These e-mail offers come directly from EiP. When we send e-mails to you, we may be able to identify information about your e-mail address, such as whether you can read graphic-rich html e-mails. If your e-mail address is html-enabled, we may choose to send you graphic-rich html e-mails. Please note that we do not provide your e-mail address to our business partners. However, we may send you offers on behalf of our business partners. Keep in mind that if you take advantage of an offer from an EiP business partner and become their customer, they may independently wish to send offers to you. In this case, you will need to inform them separately if you wish to decline receiving future offers from them. Our goal is to deliver offers to people who we believe will find them relevant and of value. Offers are developed and managed under strict conditions designed to safeguard the security and privacy of customer personal information. However, at any time you may request not to receive these offers.


Declining e-mail offers
EiP provides customers with an easy means to decline receiving e-mail offers. Although some customers tell us they appreciate receiving notice of these carefully designed opportunities, we recognise the importance of providing you with choices. At any time, you may request to discontinue receiving these offers from us by simply replying to the e-mail and informing us of your preferences. All e-mail offers that you receive from EiP will inform you of how to decline receiving further e-mail offers. Additionally, you may set or change your e-mail preferences online at any time.


Company commitment to privacy
In keeping with our commitment to consumer privacy protection, EiP will endeavour to keep abreast of current industry initiatives to preserve individual privacy rights on the internet and in all aspects of electronic commerce. If you have questions about this privacy statement, please call. You may also write to us at EiP.


Your right of access and correction
If you ask us, we will tell you what information we hold about you and provide it to you in accordance with applicable law. There may be a charge for this as permitted by law. If you believe that any information we hold about you is incorrect or incomplete, you should write without delay to EiP.
