Privacy Policy

EmergNet is committed to protecting your privacy and developing technology that gives you the most powerful and safe online experience. This Statement of Privacy applies to the EmergNet Web site and governs data collection and usage. By using the EmergNet website, you consent to the data practices described in this statement.

Collection of your Personal Information

EmergNet collects personally identifiable information, such as your e-mail address, name, home or work address or telephone number. EmergNet also collects anonymous demographic information, which is not unique to you, such as your ZIP code, age, gender, preferences, interests and favorites.

There is also information about your computer hardware and software that is automatically collected by EmergNet. This information can include: your IP address, browser type, domain names, access times and referring Web site addresses. This information is used by EmergNet for the operation of the service, to maintain quality of the service, and to provide general statistics regarding use of the EmergNet Web site.

Please keep in mind that if you directly disclose personally identifiable information or personally sensitive data through EmergNet public message boards, this information may be collected and used by others. Note: EmergNet does not read any of your private online communications.

EmergNet encourages you to review the privacy statements of Web sites you choose to link to from EmergNet so that you can understand how those Web sites collect, use and share your information. EmergNet is not responsible for the privacy statements or other content on Web sites outside of the EmergNet and EmergNet family of Web sites.

Use of your Personal Information

EmergNet collects and uses your personal information to operate the EmergNet Web site and deliver the services you have requested. EmergNet also uses your personally identifiable information to inform you of other products or services available from EmergNet and its affiliates. EmergNet may also contact you via surveys to conduct research about your opinion of current services or of potential new services that may be offered.

EmergNet does not sell, rent or lease its customer lists to third parties. EmergNet may, from time to time, contact you on behalf of external business partners about a particular offering that may be of interest to you. In those cases, your unique personally identifiable information (e-mail, name, address, telephone number) is not transferred to the third party. In addition, EmergNet may share data with trusted partners to help us perform statistical analysis, send you email or postal mail, provide customer support, or arrange for deliveries. All such third parties are prohibited from using your personal information except to provide these services to EmergNet, and they are required to maintain the confidentiality of your information.

EmergNet does not use or disclose sensitive personal information, such as race, religion, or political affiliations, without your explicit consent.

EmergNet keeps track of the Web sites and pages our customers visit within EmergNet, in order to determine what EmergNet services are the most popular. This data is used to deliver customized content and advertising within EmergNet to customers whose behavior indicates that they are interested in a particular subject area.

EmergNet Web sites will disclose your personal information, without notice, only if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on EmergNet or the site; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of EmergNet; and, (c) act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of EmergNet, or the public.

Use of Cookies

The EmergNet Web site use cookies to help you personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.

One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize EmergNet's pages, or register with EmergNet site or services, a cookie helps EmergNet to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the same EmergNet Web site, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the EmergNet features that you customized.

You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the EmergNet services or Web sites you visit.

Security of your Personal Information

EmergNet secures your personal information from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. EmergNet secures the personally identifiable information you provide on computer servers in a controlled, secure environment, protected from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. When personal information (such as a credit card number) is transmitted to other Web sites, it is protected through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.

Changes to this Statement

EmergNet will occasionally update this Statement of Privacy to reflect company and customer feedback. EmergNet encourages you to periodically review this Statement to be informed of how EmergNet is protecting your information.
