eMerge Privacy Statement
eMerge recognizes the importance of protecting the privacy of information
provided by the users of our Website and products and services. This privacy
policy and practice statement extends also extends to the way your
information is collected and used. Our privacy policy is designed to assist
you in understanding how we collect and use any customer information that
you provide to us and to assist you in making informed decisions when using
our Website and our products and services.
Our Information Security Procedures.
We have a number of procedures in place to safeguard information,
including:
We restrict our employees' access to information to those employees that
have a specific business need for the information, such as providing
information, services and/or products to our customers. Our customers may
institute procedures to maintain the confidentiality and privacy of their
information.
We require other companies with whom we do business to maintain adequate
safety and measures to provide data security.
However, to the extent we may provide links to third-party websites for
your convenience and information, when you access those links, you will
leave our Website. eMerge does not control those sites or their information
privacy practices, which may differ from ours. We do not endorse or make any
representations about third-party websites. The information you may choose
to provide to third parties is not covered by this Privacy Statement or our
privacy policy. We encourage you to review the privacy policy statement of
any such third party before submitting information. Some third parties may
share information and data with us; that sharing is governed by that third
party's privacy policy.
What Information Do We Collect?
When you visit our Website you may provide us with two types of
information: customer information you knowingly choose to disclose that is
collected on a customer-by-customer basis and Website use information or
traffic data collected on an aggregate basis as you and others browse our
Website.
Information You Choose to Provide.
Customer information is that which is associated with a particular customer
(e.g., contact person(s), e-mail or IP address, mailing address or telephone
number) or interests, demographics or experiences. We will use such
information only to support our customer relationship with you. We do not
sell, rent or lease customer information to others for direct marketing
purposes.
Traffic data is data about usage and service operations that is not
associated with a specific customer's identity. eMerge collects and analyzes
traffic data information to evaluate how visitors use our Website.
Email Information.
If you choose to correspond with us through email, we may retain the content
of your email messages together with your email address and our responses.
Website Use Information
Other than information supplied by a visitor or customer, no specific
customer identifiable information is collected from persons visiting our
Website. We gather traffic data on customers' and prospective customers'
search patterns and tabulates the results for internal use.
How Do We Use the Information That You Provide to Us?
Broadly speaking, we use collected data and information for purposes of
administering and expanding our business activities, providing customer
service and making available other products and services to our customers
and prospective customers. Occasionally, we may use customer information we
collect to communicate with you about important changes to our Website, new
services and special offers we think you will find valuable. In those cases,
customer information is not transferred to the third party
Sharing Information with Third Parties.
Other than as described above, we do not share customer specific
information with others apart from those acting as our agents in providing
our products and services, and which are provided only for that purpose and
required to keep the information secure and confidential. Also, we may merge
specific items or our assets, products, sites or operations may be
transferred. In that case the resulting entity or transferee will be able to
use customer information included as part of that transaction. We also may
disclose information that we maintain when required to do so by law. For
example, in response to a court or governmental agency order or
investigation, a subpoena or other legal obligation or in special cases when
we believe that disclosing information is necessary to make contact or bring
legal action against someone who may be causing injury to or interfering
with (intentionally or unintentionally) our rights or property. Also be
aware that courts such as the U.S. Bankruptcy Courts, might have authority
under certain circumstances to require information to be shared or
transferred to third parties without permission.
We may share aggregated information, which is not identifiable to a
particular customer with others. This may include usage and demographic
data, but it will not include information identifiable to a specific
customer.
