NON PERSONAL & PERSONAL INFORMATION

Generally, Users may browse through Essentials' website without voluntarily giving any information about themselves. However, like many Internet websites, Essentials collects different types of information in connection with the rendering of services and the administration of this website.

This website automatically tracks certain non-personal information, including but not limited to, the URL that the User came from, the browser that the User is using, the User's Internet Protocol address, the time and date of User's visit, and the User's operating system. In addition, Essentials uses standard technology called "cookies" to collect information about how Users access and use this website. (For further discussion, see "Cookies", below.)

This website may also request information which can personally identify a User, such as the User's name, birth date, social security number or employer identification number, postal address, telephone number, e-mail address, financial information (such as a credit card or bank account number), age, gender, occupation and any other information from which the User's identity may be discernible ("Personal Information"). Some instances in which Personal Information may be collected, include, but are not limited to the following:

  1. Registration and Request for Service. Registration may be required in order to request services using the Essentials website. In such case, Users who request services may be required to provide certain Personal Information when registering.
  2. Research and Analysis. From time to time, Essentials may conduct audits, research, and analysis of User's Personal Information in order to maintain, protect, and improve the services, develop new services and/or to ensure the technical functioning of its network.
  3. Online Surveys. From time to time, Users may be asked to respond to answer online surveys through the website, which may require the disclosure of certain Personal Information. Essentials' surveys are designed to obtain broad demographic information regarding our services and the desires and concerns of Essentials' customers and visitors.
  4. Correspondence. If a User sends personal correspondence, such as e-mails or letters, Essentials may collect such information into a file specific to that User.
  5. Sweepstakes Participation. Users may participate in a sweepstakes and may register in order to participate through the website. In such cases, Users who register may be required to provide certain Personal Information when registering.

COOKIES

This website may contain "cookies" on certain pages of the service. Cookies are electronic data which Essentials' web server sends to the browser file on a User's hard drive. When a User returns to this website, Essentials will detect whether the User has an Essentials cookie on its computer. These cookies help Essentials analyze User access to this website. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but Users are free to decline this feature, thereby potentially rendering this website unusable.

HOW ESSENTIALS USES INFORMATION COLLECTED FROM THE WEBSITE

Essentials uses the information collected from this website to customize content, fulfill User requests for products and services, to improve services, to contact Users regarding products, services and other information, which, based on a User's Personal Information, may be of interest to him/her.

This website may contain chat rooms, forums, message boards, or news groups available to Users. Please remember that any information that is disclosed in these areas becomes public information, and that Users should exercise discretion prior to disclosing any Personal Information. This website may also contain links to third party sites. Essentials does not endorse and is not responsible for the content of third-party websites accessed through this site or for any privacy practices with respect to such sites.

Essentials may use an outside advertising or marketing company to display advertisements on this website. These advertisements may contain cookies. Although it is Essentials' policy to attempt to require third parties to whom we provide information to comply with our privacy policies, we cannot guarantee their compliance.

SECURITY

Essentials is aware of the concerns about the privacy of any information submitted online. This website has security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse, and alteration of the information under our control. User information is stored on servers protected by firewall, system-level, and database-level security. Only employees who have a need to know have access to the User information in order to perform specific job related tasks. In addition, every employee of Essentials is required to sign Essentials' standard nondisclosure agreement that requires employees to keep this information confidential.

Essentials will not voluntarily disclose or sell any Personal Information collected, unless (i) the release of such information is required in connection with the maintenance and administration or this site (ii) required by law to comply with a legal requirement, such as a law, regulation, search warrant, subpoena, court order, or administrative inquiry; (iii) the User consents. However, Essentials cannot ensure that a User's private communications or Personal Information will never be disclosed in ways not otherwise described in this Privacy Policy. By way of example (without limiting the foregoing), Essentials may be forced to disclose information to the government or third parties under certain circumstances, or third parties may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or private communications. Therefore, although we believe we use industry standard practices to protect our Users' privacy, we do not promise that their Personal Information or private communications can remain private.
