E.B.O.Z., Inc. ("eBoz") is committed to protecting your privacy and developing
technology that gives you the most powerful and safe online experience.
This eBoz Privacy Policy governs data and information collection and usage
of a user by this site.
Commitment to Children's Privacy
Protecting children's privacy is especially important to us. It is our
policy to comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of
1998 and all other applicable laws. This Website is not directed at children
under 13 years of age.
The Information We Collect
When you register for certain eBoz products or services you will be asked
to provide certain information, such as your name and contact information.
We ask for this in connection with registrations, promotions, and purchases.
eBoz or its affiliates will use this information to tailor their presentations
to you, facilitate your movements throughout the Network, provide personalized
services, and communicate separately with you.
You can always choose whether or not to disclose information to eBoz or
its affiliates. Certain information is required for registration, but
other requested information is optional and may be given at your discretion.
Some services may require that you provide personally identifiable information.
We may use "cookies" to let you use our services more easily, and to let
us keep track of certain statistical information that helps us improve
our site. A cookie is a small piece of data stored on the user's computer
that contains identifying information about the user. Only the Website
that sets the cookie is able to access that cookie; thus information you
provide to eBoz that is stored in a cookie will only be accessible to
eBoz's Website. We use both session ID cookies and persistent cookies.
For the session ID cookie, once users close the browser, the cookie simply
terminates. A persistent cookie is a small text file stored on the user's
hard drive for an extended period of time. Persistent cookies can be removed
by following Internet browser Help file directions.
By setting a cookie on our site, users would not have to log in a password
more than once, thereby saving time while on our site. If users reject
the cookie, they may still use our site. The only drawback to this is
that the user will be limited in some areas of our site. For example,
certain features and tools will not be accessible to the user if they
are not logged in. Persistent cookies enable us to track and target the
interests of our users to enhance the experience on our site. Some of
our business partners use cookies on our site (for example, advertisers).
However, we have no access to, or control over, these cookies, once we
have given permission for them to set cookies for advertising.
How We Use the Information
We use information that we collect to make your eBoz visit more productive
and tailored to your individual preferences. We require certain specific
information when you subscribe to some customized services or purchase
products, and we store that information in secure databases. We share
information, both personally identifiable and aggregate data, with companies
who provide content to portions of our site and communicate with you on
behalf of eBoz. For research purposes, eBoz may use information collected
through our Website to measure the effectiveness of the Website and the
marketing, advertising and sales efforts of eBoz, its trusted affiliates,
independent contractors, and business partners.
Disclosure of Information
All information entered and collected through our Website may be disclosed
to trusted affiliates, independent contractors, and business partners
who will use the information for the purposes outlined above. This same
collected information may be disclosed in the aggregate to investors and
potential partners. In addition, you give us the right to transfer said
information collected from the eBoz site in connection with a sale of
eBoz’s business.
Links
This Website contains links to other sites. Please be aware that we, eBoz,
are not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We
encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the
privacy statements of each and every Website that collects personally
identifiable information. This privacy statement applies solely to information
collected by this Website.
Security of Information
This Website takes every precaution to protect our users' information.
When users submit sensitive information via the Website, their information
is protected both online and off-line.
When any of our forms asks users to enter sensitive information (such
as credit card number and/or social security number), that information
is encrypted and is protected with the best encryption software in the
industry - SSL. While on a secure page, such as our order form, the lock
icon on the bottom of Web browsers such as Netscape Navigator and Microsoft
Internet Explorer becomes locked, as opposed to un-locked, or open, when
users are simply "surfing."
While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, we
also do everything in our power to protect user information off-line.
All of our users' information, not just the sensitive information mentioned
above, is restricted in our offices. Only employees who need the information
to perform a specific job (for example, our billing clerk or a customer
service representative) are granted access to personally identifiable
information. Finally, the servers that store personally identifiable information
are in a secure environment, behind a locked cage in a locked facility.
However, we cannot guarantee that the information submitted to, maintained
on, or transmitted from our systems will be completely secure. If users
have any questions about the security at our Website, users can send an
email to the contact listed in this Privacy Policy.
Revisions to This Policy and Notification of Revision
If we decide to revise, amend, or modify our privacy policy, we will post
those changes on this privacy statement and other places we deem appropriate
so our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we use
it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it. We will use
information in accordance with the privacy policy under which the information
was collected.
