Privacy Policy
Protecting your information is our priority. This Statement of Privacy applies to www.elpys.co (the “website”) and Elpys, the intelligent knowledge base (the "webapp"). This agreement governs data collection and usage. By using the Elpys website or webapp, you consent to the data practices described in this statement.
Collection of your Personal Information
On the webapp, we do not collect information unless you give us permission. Our encryption makes this an impossibility.
On the website, Elpys may collect anonymous demographic information, which is not unique to you, such as your:
- Age
- Gender
- Lifestyle categories and Segments from Google Analytics
Please keep in mind that if you directly disclose personally identifiable information or personally sensitive data through Elpys’s public message boards, correspondence, or the webapp, this information may be collected and used by others.
You may be required to provide certain personal information to us when you elect to use certain products or services available on the website. These may include: (a) registering for an account on our Site; (b) sending us an email message. We will only use your information for security reasons and for communicating with you in relation to services and/or products you have requested from us.
Sharing Information with Third Parties
On the webapp, we do not share information unless you give us permission. Our encryption makes this an impossibility.
On the website, Elpys does not sell, rent, or lease its customer lists to third parties. Elpys may share data with trusted partners to help perform statistical analysis, send you email or postal mail, or provide customer support. All such third parties are prohibited from using your personal information except to provide these services to Elpys, and they are required to maintain the confidentiality of your information.
Elpys may disclose your personal information (that you have shared), without notice, if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on Elpys; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of Elpys; and/or (c) act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of Elpys, or the public.
Automatically Collected Information
Information about your computer hardware and software may be automatically collected by Elpys. This information can include: your IP address, browser type, domain names, access times, and referring website addresses. This information is used for the operation of the service, to maintain quality of the service, and to provide general statistics regarding use of the Elpys website.
Use of Cookies
The Elpys website may use “cookies” to help you with your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed (or “issued”) on your hard disk by a web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize Elpys pages, or register with Elpys Site or services, a cookie helps Elpys to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the same Elpys website, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the Elpys features that you customized.
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the Elpys services or Site.
Security of your Personal Information
Elpys secures your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. Elpys uses a propritary encryption algorithm along with Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) Protocol for this purpose. When personal information (such as a credit card number) is transmitted to other websites, it is protected through the use of encryptions, such as the SSL protocol.
We strive to take appropriate security measures to protect against unauthorized access to or alteration of your personal information. Unfortunately, unless data is encrypted, no data transmission over the Internet or any wireless network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your unencrypted personal information, you acknowledge that: (a) there are security and privacy limitations inherent to the Internet when transmitting unencrypted information which are beyond the control of Elpys; and (b) security, integrity, and privacy of any and all unencrypted information and data exchanged between you and us through this Site cannot be guaranteed.
Children Under Thirteen
Elpys does not knowingly collect any personally identifiable information from persons under the age of thirteen. If you are under the age of thirteen, you must ask your parent or guardian for permission to use this website or to use the webapp.
