| Information Collection
and Use
efilters.ca is
the sole owner of the information collected on this site.
We will not sell, share, or rent this information to others
in ways different from what is disclosed in this statement.
efilters.ca collects information from our users at several
different points on our website.
Order
We request information
from the user on our order form. Here a user must provide
contact information (like name and billing address) and
financial information (like credit card number, expiration
date). This information is used for billing purposes only.
If we have trouble processing an order, this contact information
is used to get in touch with the user.
Cookies
A cookie is a
piece of data stored on the user’s hard drive containing
information about the user. Usage of a cookie is in no way
linked to any personally identifiable information while
on our site. Cookies can also enable us to track and target
the interests of our users to enhance the experience on
our site.
Log Files
We use IP addresses
to analyze trends, administer the site, track user’s movement,
and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use.
IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information.
Sharing
We may share aggregated
demographic information with our partners and advertisers.
This is not linked to any personal information that can
identify any individual person. We use a credit card processing
company to bill users for services. These companies do not
retain, share, store or use personally identifiable information
for any secondary purposes.
Links
This web site
may contain links to other sites. Please be aware that we
at Everpurefilters.ca are not responsible for the privacy
practices of such other sites. We encourage our users to
be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy
statements of each and every web site that collects personally
identifiable information. This privacy statement applies
solely to information collected by this Web site.
Security
This website takes
every precaution to protect our users’ information. When
users submit sensitive information via the website, your
information is protected both online and off-line. When
our order form asks users to enter sensitive information
(such as credit card number), that information is encrypted
and is protected with the best encryption software in the
industry - SSL. While on a secure page, such as our order
form, the lock icon on the bottom of Web browsers such as
Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes
locked, as opposed to un-locked, or open, when you are just
"surfing". While we use SSL encryption to protect
sensitive information online, we also do everything in our
power to protect user-information off-line. All of our users’
information, not just the sensitive information mentioned
above, is restricted in our offices. Only employees who
need the information to perform a specific job (for example,
our billing clerk or a customer service representative)
are granted access to personally identifiable information.
Our employees must use password-protected screen-savers
when they leave their desk. When they return, they must
re-enter their password to re-gain access to your information.
Furthermore, ALL employees are kept up-to-date on our security
and privacy practices. If you have any questions about the
security at our website, you can send an email to info@efilters.ca.
Special Offers
We may send new
customers a Thank-you email. Established customers will
occasionally receive information on products, services,
special deals, and a newsletter. Out of respect for the
privacy of our users we present the option to not receive
these types of communications. Please see our choice and
opt-out below.
Choice/Opt-out
Our users are
given the opportunity to "opt-out" of having their
information used for newsletter purposes. Users who no longer
wish to receive our newsletter or promotional materials
may opt-out of receiving these communications by replying
to unsubscribe in the subject line in the email or email
us at info@efilters.ca.
Users of our site are always notified when their information
is being collected by any outside parties. We do this so
our users can make an informed choice as to whether they
should proceed with services that require an outside party,
or not.
Notification of Changes
If we decide to
change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on
our Homepage so our users are always aware of what information
we collect, how we use it, and under which circumstances,
if any, we disclose it. If at any point we decide to use
personally identifiable information in a manner different
from that stated at the time it was collected, we will notify
users by way of an email. Users will have a choice as to
whether or not we use their information in this different
manner. We will use information in accordance with the privacy
policy under which the information was collected.
