Privacy Policy
Effective 10/23/18
Welcome to the etiglobal.com website (the “Website”), an online service, operated by ETI Inc. (“ETI”, “us”, “we”, or “our”). ETI is concerned about privacy issues and has adopted this Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”) so you can understand how we deal with information we collect from and about you. This Privacy Policy explains what information may be collected on and through our Website, how we use this information, and under what circumstances we may disclose the information to third parties. This Privacy Policy applies to information we collect through the Website or through other websites or offline sources for use in connection with the Website (e.g., by providing information to a customer sales representative).
BY USING THE WEBSITE, YOU AGREE TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS PRIVACY POLICY, PLEASE DO NOT USE THE WEBSITE. We reserve the right to change this Privacy Policy without prior notice. You can determine when this Privacy Policy was last revised by referring to the “LAST UPDATED” legend at the top of this page. Any changes to our Privacy Policy will become effective upon our posting of the revised Privacy Policy on the Website. Use of the Website following such changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised Policy then in effect.
If at any point we decide to use your Personally Identifiable Information (defined and explained below) in a manner materially different from what was stated at the time it was collected, we will notify you of this change by either posting on the Website or through an e-mail to the last e-mail address provided to us. You will have a choice (by means of an “opt out” opportunity) as to whether or not we use the information in this different manner. We will use information in accordance with the Privacy Policy under which your information was collected if you opt out of the new policy.
See Section D(5) of this Privacy Policy for information on how we comply with California Privacy Rights.
A. INFORMATION WE COLLECT
Our Website typically collects two kinds of information about you:
(a) information that you provide directly to us or our affiliates that personally identifies you; and
(b) information that does not personally identify you, which we automatically collect when you visit our Website or that you provide us.
(1) Personally Identifiable Information:
Our definition of “Personally Identifiable Information” includes any information that may be used to specifically identify or contact you, such as your name, mail address, phone number, password, and entity affiliation. As a general policy, we do not automatically collect your Personally Identifiable Information when you visit our Website, but registration for certain services will require that you provide us with Personally Identifiable Information. Whether or not you provide this information is your choice; however, in many instances this type of information is required to participate in a particular activity, realize a benefit we may offer, or register for our services.
(2) Non-Personally Identifiable Information:
Our definition of “Non-Personally Identifiable Information” is any information that does not personally identify you. This includes de-identified or anonymous information. We also automatically collect certain Non-Personally Identifiable Information from you when you access our Website, including browser type, operating system, IP address, page views, and visit duration.
B. HOW WE USE & SHARE THE INFORMATION COLLECTED
(1) Personally Identifiable Information:
We use your Personally Identifiable Information to carry out your requests, respond to inquiries, improve user experience, and communicate with you. We may also use this information to send promotional material, which you can opt out of. In some cases, we share this information with third-party service providers working on our behalf, such as payment processors and data analysis firms.
(2) Non-Personally Identifiable Information:
This information is used for analytics, marketing, and operational purposes. It may be shared with third parties in aggregated, non-identifiable forms.
C. COOKIES AND WEB BEACONS
We use cookies and web beacons to enhance your experience on our Website. Cookies are small text files stored on your device, and web beacons are tiny graphics that track your interaction with our content. These tools help us recognize users, remember preferences, and understand how our site is used.
You can manage cookies through your browser settings, though some features of the Website may not function properly without them.
D. OTHER USES & INFORMATION
(1) IP Addresses:
We collect IP addresses for system administration and to monitor usage trends. This data is considered Non-Personally Identifiable Information.
(2) E-mail Communications:
If you contact us via email, we may retain your message and email address to respond or provide future updates. You can opt out of promotional emails by clicking the “unsubscribe” link or contacting us directly.
(3) Transfer of Assets:
If ETI Inc. is acquired, reorganized, or enters bankruptcy, your information may be transferred to the acquiring entity.
(4) Legal Disclosures:
We may disclose your information to comply with legal requirements, protect our legal rights, or ensure user safety.
(5) Your California Privacy Rights:
California residents may request a list of third parties with whom we share their Personally Identifiable Information for marketing purposes. To request this list, email us at ryan@etiglobal.com and include your California address and a statement confirming you are a resident.
