This Privacy Policy applies to our online
practices only. The following policy applies to the ElixaireFilters.com
site. ElixaireFilters.com is committed to protecting the privacy and
security of its online visitors. This policy statement provides our visitors
with an overview of the measures we have taken to provide a safe environment
for everyone.
PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION
We only collect personally identifiable information from our visitors when
such visitors voluntarily submit such information. We consider the
following, among other things, to be personally identifiable information:
first and last name, e-mail address, street address and phone number.
FOR KIDS
Remember to be smart online. Do not give out your full name, e-mail address,
home address, telephone number or any other personal information that would
enable someone to contact you either online or offline, without first asking
your parent or guardian for permission. Sometimes on our site we will ask
you for your first name and e-mail address along with your parents' e-mail
or home address. We do this so that we can contact your parents to let them
know that you have communicated with us, and that we have collected this
information from you.
NON-PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION
AND THE USE OF COOKIE TECHNOLOGY
We collect non-personally identifiable information through the use of a
software technology called "cookies," and through our visitors' voluntary
submissions to us and/or upon our request. By non-personally identifiable
information, we are referring to information about our visitors' browsers
(e.g., Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer), operating systems (e.g.,
Windows or Macintosh), Internet service providers (e.g., AOL or NET.COM) and
other similar information which we track in aggregate form. We also collect
the following non-personally identifiable information in connection with
content submissions, games, classrooms, and bulletin boards: first name only
and first initial of last name, state, age, and grade. The non-personally
identifiable information that we track is anonymous and will never be
identified with or lead us back to any of our visitors.
Cookie technology helps us to know how many
people visit us and where visitors go on our site. Cookies are small bits of
information we send to your computer. Among other things, this
non-personally identifiable information allows us to know which areas are
favorites, which areas need a bit of improvement, or what technologies and
Internet services are being used by our visitors so that we may continually
improve our visitors' online experiences.
USE OF IP ADDRESSES
We collect IP addresses to obtain aggregate information on the use of
ElixaireFilters.com. An IP address is a number assigned to your computer by
a Web server when you're on the Web. When you are on our site, we have a
back-end server that logs your computer's IP address. We only use the
information we find out from tracking IP addresses in the aggregate, such as
how many users entered a specific area of our site, and not to track a
specific IP address to identify an individual user. However, we may use such
information to identify a user if we feel that there are or may be safety
and/or security issues or to comply with legal requirements.
SECURITY
ElixaireFilters.com ensures that all information, personally and
non-personally identifiable information, that it receives via the Internet
is secure against unauthorized access. This information is kept in a safe
and secure system isolated from direct connection to the Internet. This
means that no eyes but ours will ever see the information that our visitors
send to us, unless we indicate otherwise.
In some places on our site, visitors may be
able to purchase items with the use of a credit card. In such instances,
ElixaireFilters.com uses secure server software over a Secure Socket Layer (SSL)
line, the latest technology to protect your credit card information. SSL is
the industry standard and among the best software available today for secure
commerce transactions. It encrypts all of your credit card information so
that the information from your credit card cannot be read as it travels over
the Internet.
LINKS TO OTHER SITES
Visitors will find links from ElixaireFilters.com to independently owned,
controlled and/or managed World Wide Web or Internet sites whose content we
have found of possible interest to our visitors. In many cases, but not
always, the links represent cooperative projects or mutual links established
with the organizations connected with these sites. While we initially visit
these sites to which we directly link, please note that we do not monitor or
control the content that appears on these sites and such content may be
constantly changing. We recommend that children check with their parents or
teachers before clicking off to any new sites, and we encourage all end
users of ElixaireFilters.com to read the privacy policies of all linked
sites before navigating through them.
CHANGES TO PRIVACY POLICY
Please note that we may revise our above policy as the content on our site
continues to change.
