elkarya.com Privacy Policy

We have created this privacy statement in order to demonstrate our commitment to privacy. The following discloses our information gathering and dissemination practices for elkarya.com

Membership Information

Information that allows elkarya.com to fulfill your request. Generally, the Operators will not share any personal information submitted by you without posting a notification that the Operators intend to do so. With your permission, the Operators may share information submitted by you with the Site’s business partners that provide promotional material or help to publish our Web site, maintain our database and/or fulfill orders you have made. You may opt out of receiving materials from such sources at any time requesting to do so at info@elkarya.com Registration. You will be required to register to take advantage of some of the interactive activities on the Site . To register, you will need to submit your full name and e-mail address and to select a unique member name to be used as an identifier for the feature, and a password.

Either you or the Operators may terminate your membership at any time, for any reason, effective upon sending written notice to the other party. The Operators reserve the right to immediately suspend or terminate your access to the ecard service, without any prior notice, upon any breach of this Agreement by you which is brought to the Operators attention.

In the course of using our site, we automatically track certain information such as your IP addresses and e-mail addresses. Many sites automatically collect this information. If you choose to post messages in our message areas (such as e-cards), we will only display such information about you as you choose to reveal.

If you send us personal correspondence, such as emails, e-cards or letters, or if other users or third parties send us correspondence about your activities or postings on the site, we may collect such information into a file which is only accessed by authorized personnel. We may also collect other users' comments about you in our complaints department.

Opting Out; Reviewing and Changing Your Information

Opting Out. When you sign up for any feature on the Site, you may choose to opt out of (a) receiving communications from the Site or about new features or services, and (b) receiving communications from third-party companies concerning their products or services. If you would like to stop such use of your personal information at any time and for any reason, you may notify that preference by emailing us at info@elkarya.com

Security Policies

Please keep in mind that whatever you publicly disclose online - for example in an e-card, or through e-mail - can be collected and used by others or unlawfully intercepted by third parties. No data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. While we strive to protect your personal information, the Operators cannot warrant the security of any information you transmit to us and you do so at your own risk. In addition, the Operators may disclose information to law enforcement or other government officials if we determine such disclosure to be necessary or appropriate, or if we are compelled to disclose it by court order or operation of law.

Your elkarya.com membership registration account is password protected so that only you can access it and view the member information relevant to your account. We recommend that you do not divulge your password to anyone. Ultimately, you are solely responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your passwords and/or account information. Please be careful and responsible whenever you are online.

Use of Cookies

Cookies are pieces of information that a Web site transfers to a user's computer hard drive for record-keeping purposes. Cookies make Web-surfing easier for you by saving your preferences while you are at our site. We never save passwords or credit card information in cookies. Accepting a cookie does not give anyone access to your computer or to any personal information. It is simply a small file in which we keep information that identifies you as a unique user. For example, we may use a cookie to indicate when you have already voted for a particular site to prevent multiple voting and a distortion of results.

The use of cookies is an industry standard - you'll find them at most major Web sites. Most browsers are initially configured to accept cookies. However, you can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or indicate when a cookie is being sent. Although you will still be able to enjoy many of the features on the Site if you disable your browser from accepting cookies, some parts of the Site’s service will not function properly or may be considerably slower if you refuse cookies.

About IP Addresses and Surveys Used for Research Purposes

An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are surfing the Web. Web servers - the computers that "serve up" Web pages - automatically identify your computer by its IP address. When users request pages on the site, our servers log their IP addresses. Some activities within the Site, such as posting a chat message, may display IP addresses along with the user's first name and message. Please review each activity prior to use and only participate in those that involve the disclosure of information you are comfortable with sharing.

Links from elkarya.com to Other Web Sites

The Operators Privacy Policy addresses only the use and disclosure of information we collect from you on the Site. You may occasionally get cookies from businesses that advertise on the site which the Operators do not control and when you link to the Web sites of third party advertisers, for example through an advertising banner, your use of those sites will be subject to the privacy policies of such third parties, which may differ from the Operators’ Privacy Policy.

Your Acceptance of These Terms

By using the Site, you signify your consent to the collection and use of personal information by the Operators as outlined in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to this policy, please do not use our site. If we make any material changes to the Privacy Policy, those changes will be posted on this page so that you are always aware of what personal information the Operators collect, how that information is used, and under what circumstances the Operators disclose that information. Since this policy may change from time to time, you should check back periodically. Your continued use the Site following the posting of changes to these terms will mean you accept those changes.
