ELM RESOURCES encourages you to review the privacy statements of Web sites you choose to link to from ELM RESOURCES so that you can understand how those Web sites collect, use and share your information. ELM RESOURCES is not responsible for the privacy statements or other content on Web sites outside of the ELM RESOURCES and ELM RESOURCES family of web sites.

ELM RESOURCES does not sell, rent or lease its customer lists to third parties. ELM RESOURCES may, from time to time, contact you on behalf of external business partners about a particular offering that may be of interest to you. In those cases, your unique personally identifiable information (e-mail, name, address, telephone number) is not transferred to the third party. In addition, ELM RESOURCES may share data with trusted partners to help us perform statistical analysis, send you email or postal mail, provide customer support, or arrange for deliveries.

ELM RESOURCES keeps track of the Web sites and pages our customers visit within ELM RESOURCES, in order to determine what ELM RESOURCES services are the most popular. This data is used to deliver customized content and advertising within ELM RESOURCES to customers whose behavior indicates that they are interested in a particular subject area.

Use of Cookies

The ELM RESOURCES web site use "cookies" to help you personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed 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 ELM RESOURCES pages, or register with ELM RESOURCES site or services, a cookie helps ELM RESOURCES 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 ELM RESOURCES web site, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the ELM RESOURCES 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 ELM RESOURCES services or web sites you visit.

 

Security of your Personal Information

ELM RESOURCES secures your personal information from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. ELM RESOURCES secures the personally identifiable information you provide on computer servers in a controlled, secure environment, protected from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. When personal information (such as a credit card number) is transmitted to other web sites, it is protected through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.

 

Changes to this Statement

ELM RESOURCES will occasionally update this Statement of Privacy to reflect company and customer feedback.  ELM RESOURCES encourages you to periodically review this Statement to be informed of how ELM RESOURCES is protecting your information.
