Cookies and other tracking technology

We use certain online tools to receive and store certain types of information when your visit our website.  When you access our website, we (and companies we work with) may place small data files on our computer or other device.  These data files include cookies, internet tags and other local storage provided by your browser or associated applications.  These tracking technologies, often referred to collectively as cookies, allow us to understand how users navigate to and around our website, view different pages and access content.

Some browsers have a “do not track” feature. It lets you tell websites you visit that you do not want them to track your online activity. These features are not yet uniform across browsers. Our websites are thus not currently set up to respond to these signals. For more information on do not track signals, please visit https://allaboutdnt.com/.

We use analytics services provided by Google Analytics.  For information about how Google uses data when you visit or use our website, please visit www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners.  If you would like to opt out, Google provides an opt-out tool which is available at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Our website includes links to other websites or applications whose privacy policies may differ from ours and for which we are not responsible.  If you submit personal information to any of those websites or applications, your information will be governed by their privacy statements.  We encourage you to read carefully the privacy statements of any website you visit.

Data retention

We will retain and use your information for as long as we need it to provide you services or products, or as long as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.

Security of your personal information

We take reasonable technical and organizational precautions to prevent the loss, misuse or alteration of your personal data.  Of course, no method of transmission over the internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure.  Therefore, we cannot guarantee its absolute security and we encourage you to use websites and share information with caution.

If you live in California or jurisdictions with similar laws, you have additional rights.  You can exercise those rights by submitting a request to us at legal@eacowt.com.

  • Portability – to request that we provide you a copy of your information.
  • Correction – to ask us to make changes to your information.
