Privacy
Thank you for visiting this website owned and maintained by EmeraChem,
and for reviewing our privacy policy.
This policy was last updated on
June 3, 2004.
EmeraChem does not disclose, give, sell, or transfer any personal
information about visitors to its Internet sites, unless required
for law enforcement or by statute.
EmeraChem is committed to protecting your privacy. We will
not collect any personal information about you when you visit
our Internet site (other than the standard information automatically
collected and stored in the Web server's logs) unless you choose
to provide it to us.
Detailed information regarding server logs, and voluntary
submission of personal information, "cookies", security,
and intrusion detection systems is provided below.
INFORMATION COLLECTED AND STORED AUTOMATICALLY
If you do nothing during your visit but browse through the
Internet site, read pages, or download information, we will
gather and store certain information about your visit automatically.
This information does not identify you personally. Our web
server will automatically collect and store only the following
information about your visit:
- Your computer's Internet Protocol (IP) address. (An IP
address is a number that is automatically assigned to your
computer
whenever you go on the Web.)
- The domain from which you access the Internet (for example,
aol.com, if you are connecting from an America Online account).
- The Internet address of the Internet site, banner, or email
from which you selected or entered a link that brought you
to our site.
- The date and time you arrived at our site and how long you
spent visiting the site.
- The name and version of your computer's operating system
and browser: for example, Windows 98/Netscape Navigator 4.5.
(This information is supplied automatically by your computer
and enhances your ability to view web pages.)
- The pages you visit.
We use this information to help us make the site more useful
to visitors -- to learn about the number of visitors to our
site and the types of technology our visitors use. Unless it
is specifically stated otherwise, no additional information
will be collected about you.
IF YOU SEND US PERSONAL INFORMATION
If you choose to provide us with personal information, either
by phone, in writing, by E-mail or by filling out a form
and submitting it to us through the Internet site, this information
will not be released, disclosed, sold, or transferred to
any outside source unless required for law enforcement or
by statute.
IF YOU SEND US EMAIL
If you send us E-mail, we will collect and store your E-mail
address and the content of the E-mail, including any personal
information you chose to include, and will use it only to
respond to your request quickly and accurately. However,
E-mail is not necessarily secure against interception. If
you are worried because your communication is very sensitive,
you can send it by postal mail or contact us via telephone.
IF YOU FILL OUT ONLINE FORMS
Certain areas like the "Contact Us" page include
forms where you actively enter your personal information. We
use this personal information to provide you with the latest
information pertaining to your initial request. Specifically:
- When you submit a request for information, we need to know
your name, E-mail address, and question or comment. This information
allows us to process and fill your request and also to notify
you of its status.
- We may also use the information we collect to occasionally
notify you about important changes to the Internet site, new
EmeraChem services, products, and special offers we think you
may find valuable.
- If a user elects to use our referral service for informing
a friend about our site, we ask them for the friend’s
name and email address. We will automatically send the friend
a one-time email inviting them to visit one of our Internet
sites or invite them to register for more information. The
provided information will be stored for the sole purpose of
sending this one-time email and for tracking the success of
our referral program. The referred friend may contact us at
the addresses below to request the removal of this information
from our database.
COOKIES
Some pages on this Internet site employ "cookies." A
cookie is a small file that an Internet site transfers to your
computer's hard disk to allow the server to "remember" specific
information about your session while you are connected. Requests
to send cookies are not designed to collect information about
you, but only about your "browser session." The cookies
make it easier for you to use the dynamic features of our Internet
site. The cookies and the information about your session are
automatically destroyed after a certain period of time. The
information is not permanently stored on your computer. We
do not collect personal information about you except as described
above.
SECURITY
All EmeraChem’s websites use the latest encryption technology
to keep your personal information safe. All your information
is encrypted using a secure server for maximum security. If
you feel more comfortable doing so, our Internet site also
provides options to request information by telephone.
LINKS TO OTHER SITES
Our Internet sites may have links to other organizations that
are not owned or maintained by EmeraChem. Once you follow
a link to any other site, you are subject to its privacy
policy.
YOUR CONSENT
By using our Internet sites, you consent to the collection
and use of this information by EmeraChem as described in
this document. If we decide to change our privacy policy,
we will post those changes on this page so that you are always
aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and
under what circumstances we disclose it. Notice of the most
recent date of changes to our privacy policy will appear
at the top of this page.
PROTECTION OF CHILDREN'S PRIVACY
We acknowledge that our Internet sites may be visited by
children under the age of consent. The material on our pages
is deemed
suitable for all ages. It is possible that a child under
the age of consent may provide personal information to us
by filling out a form and submitting that form to us through
the Internet site. Should we discover that we have received
information from a child under the age of consent, we will
remove that information from our system.
INTRUSION DETECTION
For site security purposes and to ensure that this service
remains available to all users, we employ software programs
to monitor traffic to identify unauthorized attempts to upload
or change information, or otherwise cause damage. In the
event of authorized law enforcement investigations, and pursuant
to any required legal process, information from these sources
may be used to help identify an individual.
