eCriteria Privacy Policy
We are committed to safeguarding your privacy online. We only use your personal information to help us to improve our services to you, to provide you with products you have requested, and to inform you about additional products or services that may be of interest to you. Our site’s registration form requires users to give us contact information (such as name and e-mail address) and demographic information (such as zip code and year of birth). We also require a username and password to ensure security of your databases. Please note that we do not share our users’ personally identifiable information with any third parties without our users’ prior consent. How is your information stored and protected? We protect your account information by placing it on the secure portion of our website. That's why you have to enter a unique Username and Password each time you want to access your eCriteria Data Author account. In addition, you can use the Log Out selection located in your Data Author admin area to securely exit your account without closing your browser. Your Password should never be shared with anyone. Please be assured that eCriteria will not view or gather any information regarding the contents of your private databases stored in your eCriteria account except in cases involving technical support services. The data that you store in your eCriteria account and other information you provide when you register for eCriteria’s Web database publishing service are maintained in a secure environment that is inaccessible to the public. What information does eCriteria collect about you and how is it used? eCriteria collects information in several ways from different parts of our website. Some personal information is gathered when you visit eCriteria, including your Internet address and the site from which you visited. If you choose to become an eCriteria customer, during registration eCriteria asks for your name, address, e-mail address, and zip code. Some of this information is optional. The more information you volunteer (and the more accurate it is), the better we are able to insure you receive the services you require. Once you register as a Data Author you are no longer anonymous to eCriteria - you are given an eCriteria Username and are able to take full advantage of eCriteria's many features. Data Users never have to register, and may use databases anonymously. In addition to registration we may ask you for personal information at other times, including (but not limited to) when you sign up to participate in the Channel Partner Program, and when you report a problem with one of our sites or services. If you contact eCriteria we may keep a record of that correspondence. We use all of the personal information that we collect for research purposes to improve eCriteria’s service. In addition, we summarize information about our customers that is provided to advertisers and partners. Our partners and advertisers use this summary information to provide more relevant information and offers to our customers who choose to receive such offers and information. We do not sell data about our users or provide any personally identifiable information about any individual member without their consent. Wherever eCriteria collects personal information we make an effort to include a link to this Privacy Policy on that page. What are "cookies" and how does eCriteria use them? Cookies are small text files that are sent to your computer from eCriteria's server(s) and saved on your computer's hard drive. Cookies allow eCriteria to personalize your experience on our website. We use cookies to track registration and transactional information regarding your account and use of the service. Most browsers are initially set to accept cookies. You can set most browsers to notify you notify you when you receive a cookie, giving you the chance to decide whether to accept it. However, if you choose to decline the cookie, some of the conveniences cookies make possible may not be available and certain portions of our website may not be accessible to you. Public Databases When publishing any database with eCriteria, you must decide whether the data is Public or Private. Private databases can only be seen by users who you notify of its existence. Data content that is personal, confidential, or of a sensitive nature, should be marked private. Public databases, on the other hand, may be found by anyone (however access may be limited through use of a database password). You mark a database as either private or public during the Web Database Publishing Wizard process, or later in Database Properties. How you can opt out If, at any time, you wish to stop receiving information from eCriteria, or to have your name and other personal information removed from our list, please let us know by sending us an e-mail request at support@eCriteria.net or writing to us at 6083 Bristol Parkway, Suite 210, Culver City CA 90230.
