We at E-Cyrano.com respect the privacy concerns of
the users of this site and have created this privacy
policy to explain (1) what information we gather from
you when you visit our site, (2) how we may use such
information, (3) your choices concerning how we may
use such information and (4) the security measures we
take to protect such information. Some information is
collected on this site automatically through our technology;
other information is collected only when you choose
to give it to us (e.g., when you purchase our services
or sign up for a specific online transaction).
When you visit this site, certain non-personally identifying
information is recorded automatically by the standard
operation of our Internet servers. Information such
as the type of browser being used, its operating system,
and your computer's Internet Protocol ("IP")
address (a number that your Internet service provider
assigns to your computer whenever you surf the Internet)
is gathered in order to facilitate our online operations
and to assure an efficient online experience for you.
We may also use or share this information for security
purposes, to generate group statistics about our user
community, or as required by law.
We may use your IP address or other automatically recorded
information, in cooperation with your Internet provider,
to identify you if it is necessary to contact you or
to bring legal action against you because you are violating
the Terms and Conditions
of use for this site or may be causing injury to or
interference (intentionally or unintentionally) with
our company's rights or property, other users of this
site or anyone else who could be harmed by your activities.
We may request personally identifying information from
you in a variety of contexts. For example, you may provide
such data to us if you: (1) purchase any products or
services from E-Cyrano.com; (2) fill out an order form
to request information; (3) register to participate
in community features; or (4) complete an online registration
form (e.g., various sign-up forms for receiving email
newsletters, registering for special offers, registering
for an account, entering a contest or responding to
a survey).
In such cases, the personally identifying information
we request may include your name, email address, mailing
address and zip code, phone number, and, where appropriate,
a valid credit card number with expiration date (collectively,
"Personal Information"). In addition, we may
collect other non-personally identifying information
such as your date of birth, gender, country of residence,
hobbies, interests and other information regarding your
interaction with our site, preferences and other customized
activities in which you participate. Of course, you
never have to answer any of the questions we ask you
or otherwise interact with our site and/or our consultants,
but refusal to do so may limit the products or services
we can offer or provide to you.
Within E-Cyrano.com
When you purchase products or services from E-Cyrano.com,
we will use your Personal Information to fulfill your
order and for customer service. Many online customers
are particularly concerned about their credit card information,
which we will share only as required by companies involved
in your transaction (e.g., fulfillment, billing, mailing,
storage or delivery services). We will not share your
credit card information with any other company unless
it is involved in the fulfillment or delivery of your
order. We do not rent, sell or share credit card information
with promotional partners or other third parties.
We may use your Personal Information and other non-personally
identifying information we collect to update you about
our products or services or to contact you about offers
of new E-Cyrano.com products or services that are of
interest to you. You always have the option to receive
fewer or no communications in the future from us by
opting out. You may opt out by following the instructions
included in the specific communication you no longer
wish to receive or by sending an email to
help@e-cyrano.com and explaining how you would like
to modify your preferences.
For Legal Enforcement Purposes
We reserve the right to disclose your Personal Information,
including credit card information, as required by law
or in special cases when we have reason to believe that
disclosing this information is necessary to identify,
contact or bring legal action against you if you are
violating the Terms
and Conditions of use for this site or may be causing
injury to or interference (intentionally or unintentionally)
with our company's rights or property, other users of
this site or anyone else who could be harmed by your
activities.
E-Cyrano.com cares about the security of your Personal
Information. We follow generally accepted industry security
standards to safeguard and help prevent unauthorized
access, maintain data security and correctly use such
Personal Information. However, unfortunately, despite
many advances in information security technology and
procedures, no commercially deployed method of information
transfer over the Internet or electronic data storage
is known to be 100% secure. As a result, while we do
strive to use modern and commercially reasonable means
to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee
the absolute security of that information during its
transmission or its storage in our systems.
A "cookie" is a small text file that an Internet
site can place on your computer's hard drive for record-keeping
purposes. Cookies make using this site easier by, among
other things, saving your passwords and preferences
for you, keeping track of your shopping cart when you
visit our online store or other similar purposes, and
to help identify you whenever you return to our site,
so you do not need to reenter your identification information.
Most Internet browsers are initially set up to accept
cookies. However, you can reset your browser to refuse
all cookies or to alert you when a cookie is being sent
(note: you may need to consult your browser's "Help"
area for instructions on how to do that). If you choose
to disable your cookies setting or refuse to accept
a cookie, some parts of this site will not function
properly or may perform considerably slower. For example,
without cookies, you will not be able to set personalized
preferences or you may have difficulty completing shopping
transactions, listening to music or playing games.
If you have any questions or complaints about our Privacy
Policy, please contact us at help@e-cyrano.com.
When we receive such inquiries about our Privacy Policy,
we will use the Personal Information (such as your email
address) only to respond to your question or comment.
However, if your question raises one or more issues
that affect our promotional partners, we may also share
your question with them in order to provide a response.
We reserve the right to modify, alter or otherwise update
this Privacy Policy at any time, so we encourage you
to review this Privacy Policy from time to time. When
we make changes which we consider material in our privacy
practices, we will notify you in this space. We may
also attempt to notify you of any such material changes
to our privacy practices via email or by placing a notice
on our home page.
By using this site, you consent to the collection and
use of your Personal Information by E-Cyrano.com in
accordance with this Privacy Policy.
