The Elyshop Company srl (Elyshop)
is committed to protecting any personal information
that you may provide to us. In particular, we believe
it is important for you to know how we treat information
about you that we may receive from this Web site.
Information Collected
In General, you can visit this Web site without
telling us who you are or revealing any information
about yourself. Our web servers collect the domain
names, not the e-mail addresses, of visitors. Our
web servers also seek (as many Web sites do) to
place a "cookie" (a small data file) on
your computer's hard drive which allows the server
to determine the computer when it visits again,
in order to track statistical information about
navigation to and throughout certain areas of our
site, and to Elyshop promotions on other
sites. This cookie is not used to obtain your name
or any personal data, and the information that is
tracked is used only for internal purposes, such
as to improve site navigation and to measure the
effectiveness of our promotional placements, and
is not shared with anyone other than Elyshop
affiliates and contractors who assist Elyshop
in these efforts and are bound to confidentiality.
However, if you prefer not to accept cookies, you
can set your browser to reject them or to alert
you before one is placed.
In addition, there are portions of
this Web site where we may need to collect personal
information from you for a specific purpose, such
as to provide you with certain information you request.
The information collected from you may include your
name, address, telephone, fax number, or e-mail
address. For electronic access to annual reports
and proxy statements, we collect your tax identification
number to verify your shareholder status. For our
supplier diversity site, we necessarily collect
information about gender and ethnicity, such as
whether your business is female-owned.
We use a third-party technology to
place our advertisements on other Web sites. This
technology will install a small "cookie"
file on your computer when you view our ad. These
cookies will not contain any information that personally
identifies you (such as your name or e-mail address)
but they will contain a randomly generated number
that is unique to your browser and can be recognized
by a "Web beacon" (transparent GIF file)
on our site if you click through to our site from
one of our ads. This allows us to keep track of
how many unique visitors we have to our site and
from what ads they entered, so that we can measure
the effectiveness of our ads and ad placements.
The privacy policies of the Web sites on which we
advertise, and through which the cookies are installed
should inform you about the cookie, and you may
of course set your browser to reject cookies. More
info about the third-party ad-serving technology
that we use, cookies, and how to "opt-out,"
please contact us.
This Web site is not intended for
persons under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly
solicit or collect personal information from or
about children, and we do not knowingly market our
products or services to children.
Use of Collected Information
Domain name information that we collect is not used
to personally identify you and instead is aggregated
to measure the number of visits, average time spent
on the site, pages viewed, etc. We use this information
to measure the use of our site and to improve the
content of our site.
When other information is collected
from you, such as your name and e-mail address,
we generally let you know at the time of collection
how we will use the personal information. Usually,
we use the personal information you provide only
to respond to your inquiry or to process your request
(such as to receive electronic annual reports or
to be added to our supplier diversity database).
This information may be shared with other Elyshop
businesses, but only if necessary to fulfill your
request or for related purposes.
We may share the personal information
you provide with other companies we have hired to
provide services for us. These companies - our vendors
- are contractually bound to use personal information
we share with them only to perform the services
we have hired them to provide. We do not share,
sell, or lease personal information about you to
any third-parties for their marketing use. We will
release information about you if you direct us to
do so, if we are required by law to do so, or in
other legally limited circumstances (for example,
to protect your account from fraud).
If you register with one of Elyshop's
business units online, they may use this information
to provide you with custom information about Elyshop's
offerings in support of your business needs. They
may also seek to place a "cookie" (small
data file) as discussed above in order to provide
you with tailored information. You should review
the privacy policy associated with that Elyshop
business' Web site for further information about
that Elyshop business' privacy practices.
Links to Other Sites
Elyshop's Web site may contain links to other
sites such as Elyshop distributors and sales
affiliates. While we try to link only to sites that
share our high standards and respect for privacy,
we are not responsible for the content, security,
or privacy practices employed by other sites.
Security of Collected Information
We maintain strict physical, electronic, and administrative
safeguards to protect your personal information
from unauthorized or inappropriate access. We restrict
access to information about you to those Elyshop
workers who need to know the information to respond
to your inquiry or request. Workers who misuse personal
information are subject to disciplinary action.
