E-Z Data, Inc. is the sole owner of the information
collected on this site. We will not sell, share, or rent
this information to others in ways different from what
is disclosed in this statement. E-Z Data collects
information from our users at several different points
on our website. Profile
We store information that we collect through cookies,
log files, clear gifs, and/or third parties to create a
profile of our users. A profile is stored information
that we keep on individual users that details their
viewing preferences. Consequently, collected information
is tied to a user’s personally identifiable information
to provide offers and improve the content of the site
for the user. This profile is used to tailor a user’s
visit to our Web site, and to direct pertinent marketing
promotions to them. We do not share your profile with
other third parties.
eCommerce
We request information from the user on order forms. A
user must provide contact information (such as name,
email, and shipping address) and financial information
(such as credit card number, expiration date). This
information is used for billing purposes and to fill a
customer’s order. If we have trouble processing an
order, the information is used to contact the user. All
online purchase transactions are done on a secure server
hosted off-site.
Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user’s
computer tied to information about the user. Usage of a
cookie is in no way linked to any personally
identifiable information while on our site. We use both
session ID cookies and persistent cookies. For the
session ID cookie, once users close the browser, the
cookie simply terminates. A persistent cookie is a small
text file stored on the user’s hard drive for an
extended period of time. Persistent cookies can be
removed by following Internet browser help file
directions. This privacy statement covers the use of
cookies by www.ezdata.com only and does not cover the
use of cookies by any advertisers.
Log Files
Like most standard Web site servers we use log files.
This includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser
type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit
pages, platform type, date/time stamp, and number of
clicks to analyze trends, administer the site, track
user’s movement in the aggregate, and gather broad
demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses,
etc. are not linked to personally identifiable
information.
Communications from the Site
Special Offers and Updates
We send all new members a welcoming email to verify
password and username. Established members will
occasionally receive information on products, services,
and special deals. Out of respect for the privacy of our
users, an ‘opt out’ or ‘remove from list’ feature is
provided with all these communications. Users may also
contact us via phone, fax or e-mail or postal mail to
opt out. Contact information is provided at the bottom
of this policy.
Newsletter
If a user wishes to subscribe to our newsletter, we ask
for contact information such as name and email address.
Out of respect for our users privacy we provide a way to
opt-out of these communications.
Service Announcements
On rare occasions it is necessary to send out a strictly
service related announcement. For instance, if our
service is temporarily suspended for maintenance we
might send users an email. Generally, users may not
opt-out of these communications, though they can
deactivate their account. However, these communications
are not promotional in nature.
Customer Service
We communicate with users on a regular basis to provide
requested services and in regards to issues relating to
their account we reply via email or phone, in accordance
with the users’ wishes.
Information Sharing
Though we make every effort to preserve user privacy, we
may need to disclose personal information when required
by law wherein we have a good-faith belief that such
action is necessary to comply with a current judicial
proceeding, a court order or legal process served on our
Web site. Users of our site are always notified when
their information is being collected by any outside
parties. We do this so our users can make an informed
choice as to whether or not they should proceed with
services that require an outside party.
Links
This Web site contains links to other sites. Please be
aware that we are not responsible for the privacy
practices of such other sites. We encourage our users to
be aware when they leave our site and to read the
privacy statements of each and every Web site that
collects personally identifiable information. This
privacy statement applies solely to information
collected by this Web site.
Surveys
From time-to-time our site requests information from
users via surveys or contests. Participation in these
surveys or contests is completely voluntary and the user
therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose this
information. The requested information typically
includes contact information (such as name and shipping
address), and demographic information (such as zip
code).
Security
This Web site takes every precaution to protect our
users’ information. When users submit sensitive
information via the Web site, their information is
protected both online and off-line. When our
registration/order form asks users to enter sensitive
information (such as credit card number and/or social
security number), that information is encrypted and is
protected with the best encryption software in the
industry - SSL. While on a secure page, such as our
order form, the lock icon on the bottom of Web browsers
such as Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet
Explorer becomes locked, as opposed to un-locked, or
open, when users are just ‘surfing’. While we use SSL
encryption to protect sensitive information online, we
also do everything in our power to protect
user-information off-line. All of our users’
information, not just the sensitive information
mentioned above, is restricted in our offices. Only
employees who need the information to perform a specific
job (for example, our billing clerk or a customer
service representative) are granted access to personally
identifiable information. Our employees must use
password-protected screen-savers when they leave their
desk. When they return, they must re-enter their
password to re-gain access to user information.
Furthermore, all employees are kept up-to-date on our
security and privacy practices.
Notification of Changes
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post
those changes to this privacy statement, the homepage,
and other places we deem appropriate so our users are
always aware of what information we collect, how we use
it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose
it.

privacy policy, please contact us at:
