Privacy Statement

Embsmith is committed to safeguarding your privacy online. Please read the following policy to understand how your personal and business information will be treated as you make full use of our many offerings. This policy may change from time to time, so please check back periodically.

Information About All Embsmith Visitors

In general, our service automatically gathers certain usage information like the numbers and frequency of visitors to Embsmith and its areas. We only use such data in the aggregate. This collective data helps us determine how much our customers use parts of the site, so we can improve our site to assure that it is as appealing as we can make it for as many of you as possible. Embsmith uses the technology nicknamed "cookies" that tells us how and when pages in our site are visited, and by how many people. Embsmith cookies do not collect personally identifiable information and we do not combine information collected through cookies with other personally identifiable information to tell us who you are or even what your screen name or e-mail address is. We may provide statistical information, and not information about you personally, to our Embsmith partners about how our members, collectively use Embsmith. We do this so they too can understand how much people use their areas and our site in order for them to provide you with the best possible web experience as well.

Information About You

Sometimes, we may specifically ask for information about you when you sign up to use a service, or when you order a product. We will need certain information - such as name, Internet address or screen name, billing address, shipping address, type of computer, credit card number - in order to provide that service or product to you. We may also use that information to let you know of additional products and services about which you might be interested. We may ask you for information about your interests so that both you and we can take advantage of the interactivity of the online medium, but you may always choose to respond or not. Additionally, we may provide you with an opportunity to be listed in a directory on one of our Embsmith - branded services. We may disclose information about you in special cases when we have reasons to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be causing injury to or interference with (either intentionally or unintentionally) Embsmith rights or property, other Embsmith users, or anyone else that could be harmed by such activities. We may disclose user information when we believe in good faith that the law requires it. See also our policy regarding use of IP addresses set forth herein.

Disclosure

We do not use or disclose information about your individual visits to Embsmith or information you may give us, such as your name, address, e-mail address or telephone number, to any outside companies. But as we mentioned above, we may share without website partners aggregated statistical information about the use of Embsmith.

Use of IP Addresses

An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are surfing the web. Web servers - the big computers that "serve up" web pages - automatically identify your computer by its IP address. We do not normally link IP addresses to anything personally identifiable, which means that a user session will be logged, but the user remains anonymous to Embsmith. We can and will use IP addresses to identify a user when we feel it is necessary to enforce compliance with our house rules or terms of service or to protect our service, site, customers, or others. Some services within Embsmith such as SmartLOG, may display IP addresses along with login name. Please review each service prior to use and only use those that disclose information you are comfortable with sharing.

Security

The importance of security for all personally identifiable information associated with our customers is of utmost concern. We exercise great care in providing secure transmission of your information from your PC.s to our servers. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information , Embsmith cannot insure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or from our online products or services, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we make our best effort to insure security on our systems. When credit card information is transmitted, we use industry standard, SSL (secure socket layer) encryption. In addition, your Embsmith account is password protected so that only you can access it and view the member information relevant account. We recommend that you do not divulge your password to anyone. Embsmith will never ask you for your password in an unsolicited phone call or e-mail. Ultimately, you are responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your password and any account information. In all cases, remember to sign out of your Embsmith service by closing your browser window when you have finished your visit. This is to insure that others cannot access your personal information and correspondence if your computer is accessible to others or if you share a computer with someone else or are using a computer in a public place like an Internet kiosk.
