Privacy Policy

===================

Your privacy is important to us. To better protect your privacy we provide this notice explaining our online information practices and the choices you can make about the way your information is collected and used. To make this notice easy to find, we make it available on our homepage and at every point where personally identifiable information may be requested.

This notice applies to all information collected from or submitted to the following ekois Web site(s), but to make this notice easier to read we will refer here only «our Web site», meaning www.ekois.net.

Our Web site contains links to other Web sites operated by third parties. Ekois is not responsible for the privacy practices or policies of such third party Web sites.

The Information We Collect

Our Web site is not set up to automatically collect personally-identifiable information from each visitors to our Web site. It does recognize the home server of visitors, but not e-mail addresses. For example, we can tell which Internet Service Provider our visitors use, but not the names, addresses or other information about our visitors that would allow us to identify the particular visitors to our Web site. This information is used only for internal purposes by our technical support staff.

Our Web site does track certain information about the visits to our Web site. For example, we compile statistics that show the numbers and frequency of visitors to our Web site and its individual pages. These aggregated statistics are used internally to improve our Web site. Those aggregated statistics may also be provided only to other third parties if related to the XXXX programme, but again, the statistics contain no personal information and cannot be used to gather such information.

In a few areas on our Web site, we may ask you to provide information that will enable us to verify whether you are entitled to access and use certain information, materials and services available from our Web site, or to enable us to enhance your site visit, to assist you with customer service or technical support issues, or to follow up with you after your visit, or to otherwise support your customer relationship with XXXX.org. It is completely optional for you to participate.

However, failure to participate may mean that you cannot access and use certain information, materials and services.

For example, we request information from you when you:

(a) Log-on to all areas of our Web site, where you may be prompted to provide us with your user name and password as a condition to gaining access to certain information, materials or services

(b) Contribute comments

(c) Contribute events

(d) upload pictures or files

Agents or contractors of Ekois who are given access to your personal information will be required to keep the information confidential and not use it for any other purpose than to carry out the services they are performing for Ekois.

Circumstances may arise where we are required to disclose your personal information to third parties for purposes other than to support your relationship with Ekois, meaning if disclosure is required by law or is pertinent to judicial or governmental investigations or proceedings.
