We've structured our web site so that, in general, you can visit ECI on the web without identifying yourself or revealing any personal information. To make this notice easy to find, we make it available on our homepage and at the bottom of every ecinet.com web page. This privacy statement applies to all ecinet.com-owned web sites and domains.

Specifically, we use your information to help you complete a transaction or order, to communicate with you, to provide service and support, to update you on services and benefits, to personalize promotional offers and to personalize some ecinet.com web sites. Occasionally we may also use your information to contact you for market research regarding ECI products or services. We will give you the opportunity to opt-out of market research and customer surveys. Credit card information is used only for payment processing and fraud prevention, and is not used for other purposes.
Data collected online may also be combined with information you provide through other sources such as product registration, call centers or public events such as trade shows or seminars.

Who we share it with
ECI will not sell, rent, or lease your personally identifiable information to others. ECI will not share your personal information with a business partner or any unrelated third party company unless you give your permission. Your permission will be requested when you submit your information.
ECI contracts with third party service providers and suppliers to provide complete products, services and customer solutions described in "How we use it". These suppliers and service providers are called "logical ECI"; they act on ECI's behalf and are bound to the ECI Privacy Policy contractually through ECI confidentiality and personal data protection agreements. Suppliers and service providers are required to keep confidential the information received on behalf of ECI and may not use it for any purpose other than to carry out the services they are performing for ECI. These service providers may change or we may contract with additional service providers in order to provide new services. ECI will not share personal information with any other third parties without your permission unless required by law enforcement action or subpoena.
Choice
You can subscribe to receive some product- and service-specific information and ECI-wide marketing communications. ECI-wide communications may include new product information, special offers or possibly an invitation to participate in market research. We give you a choice regarding ECI-wide communications by postal mail, email and telephone.
ECI will not sell, rent or lease your personally identifiable information to unrelated third party companies. Some ECI services are linked with those from other unrelated third party companies, some which offer you the option to share personal data you give with both ECI and the third party. Examples include the ability to register software products from multiple vendors from a single ECI web page, request communications from ECI marketing or solution partners or enable order completion through a reseller. We will not share your personal information with those third party companies unless you make that choice. Local country laws and policies are applied where they differ from those in the U.S.
Links provided on ecient.com to third party web sites are provided as a convenience and ECI does not control those sites or their privacy practices, which may differ from ours. ECI does not endorse or make any representations about them. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any company before submitting your personal information. The personal data you choose to give to unrelated third parties is covered by their privacy policies, not the ECI Privacy Policy. Some third-party companies may choose to share their personal data with ECI; that sharing is governed by that third-party company's privacy policy.
Onward Transfer
Personal data given to ECI may be transferred across state and country borders for the purposes of data consolidation, storage and simplified customer information management. The practices which govern this data movement are described in our commitments in the Choice and Security sections of this privacy statement.
Access & Accuracy
ECI strives to keep your personally identifiable information accurate. We have put in place managerial data standards review processes and technological tools to maintain customer data accuracy. We will provide you with access to view and change your information, including making every effort to provide you with online access. To protect your privacy and security, we will also take reasonable steps to verify your identity, such as a password and user ID, before granting access to your data. Certain areas of ECI's web sites may limit access to specific individuals through the use of passwords and other personal identifiers.
The most effective way to view and change your personal information is to return to the web page where you originally submitted your data and follow the instructions on that web page or send us a message as described in "Contacting us" below. Data access is also available upon request.
Security
ECI is committed to ensuring the security of your information. To prevent unauthorized access or disclosure, maintain data accuracy and ensure the appropriate use of the information, ECI has in place appropriate physical, managerial procedures to safeguard the information we collect.
We use SSL encryption when collecting or transferring sensitive data such as credit card information. Credit card numbers are only used for processing payment and are not used for other purposes. Our efforts to protect credit card fraud help protect your financial data security. As part of real-time payment processing, ECI subscribes to a fraud management service. This service gives you and ECI an extra level of protection to guard against credit card fraud.
To opt-out of ECI marketing contact, please provide your name, email and/or address and relevant information about subscriptions or registrations you may have with ECI. This opt-out will cancel all marketing and support communication and newsletters, including software driver subscriptions.

A "cookie" is a small data file transferred by a web site to your computer's hard drive. We send cookies when you surf our site, make purchases, request information, personalization, or register yourself or for certain services. Accepting the cookies used on our site does not give us access to your Personally Identifiable Information, but we may use the cookies to identify your computer. Many cookies are "session" cookies, meaning the cookie does not stay on your computer after you leave our web site or close your browser. The aggregate information collected permits us to analyze traffic patterns at our site. This can enable us over time to provide a better experience on our site by improving content or personalization and making it easier to use. Cookies that remain on your computer are often called "permanent" cookies. These types of cookies are used to facilitate shopping, personalization and registration services. For example, cookies can keep track of what you have selected to purchase as you continue to shop and allow you to enter your password only once on web pages where a logon is required.
Most browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually refuse cookies or selectively accept certain cookies by adjusting the preferences in your browser.

Some ecinet.com web pages and HTML-formatted email newsletters use web beacons in conjunction with cookies to compile aggregate statistics about web site usage. A web beacon is an electronic image, called a single-pixel (1x1), or clear-GIF. You may render web beacons unusable by rejecting their associated cookies. This data is not personally identifiable or linked to personally identifiable information.
ecinet.com does not post third-party ads on our web site. ECI may use third-party media companies to place ads for ECI products or services other companies' web sites. If you view a web page where ECI ads appear, the online media company may place a cookie or web beacon on the user's computer. This allows the online media company to recognize the computer when it is used to return to that site or measure advertising response. This data is anonymous and is not linked to personal data on the user's computer or any ECI databases. Some ECI newsletters delivered on ECI's behalf by online media companies use the same technologies. In both cases, this data is also used by the online media company to measure advertising and content interest and relevance. ECI does not have access to the data collected by the online media company. To prevent online media companies from placing cookies on your computer, you will need to visit each media company's web site and use their cookie removal (opt-out) process.
