Web Site Privacy Statement
What Information We Gather and Track
There are times when we
may need to collect information from you through our Web
site. This generally involves filling out forms so you can
participate in various services or receive requested information.
What
We Do With the Information We Gather and Track
The personally
identifiable information gathered from the forms you fill out
on our Web site is used in one of two ways:
- to provide you with information about products, services,
news and events;
- to gather broad demographic information about user trends.
Electricsmarts uses various methods to collect certain other
kinds of information that cannot be personally identified with
you, including
- Cookies
- Referers
- IP addresses
- System information
A "cookie" is an element of data that a Web site
can send to your browser, which may then store it on your system.
It can be used to provide you with a tailored user experience.
Some Electricsmarts pages use cookies. Cookies are used to
better personalize the content, banners and promotions that
you and other users will see. We may use the information to
research and understand how our users' habits in the aggregate
are similar or different so that we can enhance your experience
on Electricsmarts' sites and with our services. With your consent,
cookies can optionally store information from forms that you
fill out on our site so that next time you visit, you do not
have to re-enter this information. For example, this would
allow you to enter your zip code so that next time you visit,
you can automatically see local content from your area. You
can set your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie,
giving you the chance to decide whether or not to accept it.
Electricsmarts does not require that you accept cookies.
A "referer" is
the information passed along by a web browser that references
the Web URL you linked from, and is automatically gathered
by our Web server. This information is used by Electricsmarts
to identify broad demographic trends that may be used to provide
information tailored to your interests. You will not be personally
identified from this information.
IP addresses are used by your
computer every time you are connected to the Internet. Your
IP address is a number that is used by computers on the network
to identify your computer so that data (such as the Web pages
you request) can be sent to you. They are automatically gathered
by our Web server. Electricsmarts will not use your IP address
to attempt to identify your personal information.
System information
we gather includes time, type of Web browser being used, the
operating system/platform, and CPU speed. This information
is sent automatically by your Web browser when you are connected
to a Web site and is used by Electricsmarts only for broad
demographic statistics. This information is used by Electricsmarts
in identifying broad demographic trends and may be used to
provide information appropriate for your computer system. You
will not be personally identified from this information.
In
addition, the Electricsmarts Web sites contain links to other
Web sites. However, Electricsmarts is not responsible for the
privacy practices or the content of such Web sites.
