The Elyshop Company
srl (Elyshop) is committed to
protecting any personal information
that you may provide to us. In
particular, we believe it is
important for you to know how we
treat information about you that we
may receive from this Web site.
Information Collected
In General, you can visit this Web
site without telling us who you are
or revealing any information about
yourself. Our web servers collect
the domain names, not the e-mail
addresses, of visitors. Our web
servers also seek (as many Web sites
do) to place a "cookie" (a small
data file) on your computer's hard
drive which allows the server to
determine the computer when it
visits again, in order to track
statistical information about
navigation to and throughout certain
areas of our site, and to Elyshop
promotions on other sites. This
cookie is not used to obtain your
name or any personal data, and the
information that is tracked is used
only for internal purposes, such as
to improve site navigation and to
measure the effectiveness of our
promotional placements, and is not
shared with anyone other than
Elyshop affiliates and contractors
who assist Elyshop in these efforts
and are bound to confidentiality.
However, if you prefer not to accept
cookies, you can set your browser to
reject them or to alert you before
one is placed.
In addition, there
are portions of this Web site where
we may need to collect personal
information from you for a specific
purpose, such as to provide you with
certain information you request. The
information collected from you may
include your name, address,
telephone, fax number, or e-mail
address. For electronic access to
annual reports and proxy statements,
we collect your tax identification
number to verify your shareholder
status. For our supplier diversity
site, we necessarily collect
information about gender and
ethnicity, such as whether your
business is female-owned.
We use a
third-party technology to place our
advertisements on other Web sites.
This technology will install a small
"cookie" file on your computer when
you view our ad. These cookies will
not contain any information that
personally identifies you (such as
your name or e-mail address) but
they will contain a randomly
generated number that is unique to
your browser and can be recognized
by a "Web beacon" (transparent GIF
file) on our site if you click
through to our site from one of our
ads. This allows us to keep track of
how many unique visitors we have to
our site and from what ads they
entered, so that we can measure the
effectiveness of our ads and ad
placements. The privacy policies of
the Web sites on which we advertise,
and through which the cookies are
installed should inform you about
the cookie, and you may of course
set your browser to reject cookies.
More info about the third-party
ad-serving technology that we use,
cookies, and how to "opt-out,"
please contact us.
This Web site is
not intended for persons under 13
years of age. We do not knowingly
solicit or collect personal
information from or about children,
and we do not knowingly market our
products or services to children.
Use of Collected
Information
Domain name
information that we collect is not
used to personally identify you and
instead is aggregated to measure the
number of visits, average time spent
on the site, pages viewed, etc. We
use this information to measure the
use of our site and to improve the
content of our site.
When other
information is collected from you,
such as your name and e-mail
address, we generally let you know
at the time of collection how we
will use the personal information.
Usually, we use the personal
information you provide only to
respond to your inquiry or to
process your request (such as to
receive electronic annual reports or
to be added to our supplier
diversity database). This
information may be shared with other
Elyshop businesses, but only if
necessary to fulfill your request or
for related purposes.
We may share the
personal information you provide
with other companies we have hired
to provide services for us. These
companies - our vendors - are
contractually bound to use personal
information we share with them only
to perform the services we have
hired them to provide. We do not
share, sell, or lease personal
information about you to any
third-parties for their marketing
use. We will release information
about you if you direct us to do so,
if we are required by law to do so,
or in other legally limited
circumstances (for example, to
protect your account from fraud).
If you register
with one of Elyshop's business units
online, they may use this
information to provide you with
custom information about Elyshop's
offerings in support of your
business needs. They may also seek
to place a "cookie" (small data
file) as discussed above in order to
provide you with tailored
information. You should review the
privacy policy associated with that
Elyshop business' Web site for
further information about that
Elyshop business' privacy practices.
Links to Other
Sites
Elyshop's Web site may
contain links to other sites such as
Elyshop distributors and sales
affiliates. While we try to link
only to sites that share our high
standards and respect for privacy,
we are not responsible for the
content, security, or privacy
practices employed by other sites.
Security of
Collected Information
We
maintain strict physical,
electronic, and administrative
safeguards to protect your personal
information from unauthorized or
inappropriate access. We restrict
access to information about you to
those Elyshop workers who need to
know the information to respond to
your inquiry or request. Workers who
misuse personal information are
subject to disciplinary action.
