ElevationX understands that your privacy is important to you. We are committed to protecting the privacy of your personally identifiable information as you use this website. This Privacy Policy explains how we protect and use information that we gather from you.

By using this website, you consent to the terms described in the most recent version of this Privacy Policy. You should also review our Terms of Use to understand the general rules governing your use of this website and any additional terms that may apply when you access specific services or materials.

Throughout this policy, “we,” “us,” or “our” refers to ElevationX and its affiliates. “You,” “your,” “visitor,” or “user” refers to the individual accessing this website.

PERSONAL AND NON-PERSONAL INFORMATION

Our Privacy Policy identifies how we treat your personal and non-personal information.

WHAT IS NON-PERSONAL INFORMATION AND HOW IS IT COLLECTED AND USED?

Non-personal information is information that does not identify you individually. If you visit this website to browse or read information—such as details about our services—we may collect non-personal information from your web browser.

Because non-personal information cannot be linked to you personally, there are no restrictions on how we may use or share it.

ARE COOKIES OR OTHER TECHNOLOGIES USED TO COLLECT PERSONAL INFORMATION?

Yes, we may use cookies and related technologies, such as web beacons, to collect information on our website. 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 register with us, a cookie helps ElevationX recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and other preferences. When you return to the same ElevationX website, the information you previously provided can be retrieved so you can easily use the features you customized.

A web beacon is a small graphic image that allows the party that set the web beacon to monitor and collect certain information about a viewer of a web page, web-based document, or email message, such as the type of browser requesting the web beacon, the IP address of the computer to which the web beacon is sent, and the time the web beacon was viewed. Web beacons can be very small and invisible to users; however, in general, any electronic image viewed as part of a web page or email, including HTML-based content, can act as a web beacon.

We may use web beacons to count visitors to pages on our website, monitor how users navigate the site, and include web beacons in email messages to determine whether messages were opened, acted upon, or forwarded.


Third-party vendors may also use cookies on our website. For example, we may contract with third parties that use cookies to track and analyze anonymous usage and volume statistical information from visitors and members. This information is shared externally only on an anonymous, aggregated basis. These third parties use persistent cookies to help us improve the visitor experience, manage site content, and track visitor behavior.

We may also contract with third parties to send email communications to our registered users or members. No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Information sharing with subcontractors that provide support services, such as customer service, is permitted. All other use cases exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties.


To help measure and improve the effectiveness of our email communications, third-party service providers may set cookies. All data collected by these third parties on behalf of ElevationX is used solely by or on behalf of ElevationX and is shared externally only on an anonymous, aggregated basis.

From time to time, we may allow third parties to post advertisements on our website. These advertisements may include cookies or web beacons served by the third party. This Privacy Policy does not apply to information collected by third-party ad servers. We do not control cookies used in such advertisements, and we encourage you to review the privacy policies of those advertisers and advertising services before interacting with their ads.

We do not share your personal information with these advertisers; however, they may use information about your visits to this and other websites to provide advertisements about goods and services that may be of interest to you, and they may share personal information you provide to them with others in accordance with their own privacy policies.


You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser settings 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 ElevationX websites you visit.


HOW DOES ELEVATIONX USE PERSONAL INFORMATION?

ElevationX may keep and use personal information we collect from or about you to provide you with access to this website and our products or services; to respond to your requests; to bill you for products or services you purchase; and to provide ongoing service and support. We may also use your information to contact you with information that may be of interest to you, including details about our products and services or those of third parties, to request feedback, and for recordkeeping, analytical, research, development, and improvement purposes related to our programs, products, services, and content.

Personal information collected online may be combined with information you provide to us through other sources. We may also remove personal identifiers such as your name, email address, or other identifying information. Once information has been de-identified, it is no longer considered personal information and may be treated as non-personal information.

Finally, we may use your personal information to protect our rights or property, protect the health, safety, or welfare of others, and to comply with applicable laws, regulations, court orders, or other legal processes.

DOES ElevationX SHARE PERSONAL INFORMATION WITH OTHERS?

We will not share your personal information collected from this web site with an unrelated third party without your permission, except as otherwise provided in this Privacy Policy. In the ordinary course of business, we may share some personal information with companies that we hire to perform services or functions on our behalf. In all cases in which we share your personal information with a third party for the purpose of providing a service to us, we will not authorize them to keep, disclose or use your information with others except for the purpose of providing the services we asked them to provide.

 

We will not sell, exchange or publish your personal information, except in conjunction with a corporate sale, merger, dissolution, or acquisition. For some sorts of transactions, in addition to our direct collection of information, our third party service vendors (such as credit card companies, clearinghouses and banks) who may provide such services as credit, insurance, and escrow services may collect personal information directly from you to assist you with your transaction. We do not control how these third parties use such information, but we do ask them to disclose how they use your personal information before they collect it.

If you submit a review for a third party (person or business) using our Facebook Fan Review Application, during the submission process we ask your permission to gather your basic information (such as name and email address) which we then share with the third party for whom you are submitting the review. We may be legally compelled to release your personal information in response to a court order, subpoena, search warrant, law or regulation.

 

We may cooperate with law enforcement authorities in investigating and prosecuting web site visitors who violate our rules or engage in behavior, which is harmful to other visitors (or illegal). We may disclose your personal information to third parties if we feel that the disclosure is necessary to protect our rights or property, protect someone’s health, safety or welfare, or to comply with a law or regulation, court order or other legal process. As discussed in the section on cookies and other technologies, from time to time we may allow a third party to serve advertisements on this web site.

 

If you share information with the advertiser, including by clicking on their ads, this Privacy Policy does not control the advertisers use of your personal information, and you should check the privacy policies of those advertisers and/or ad services to learn about their use of cookies and other technology before linking to an ad

The e-mail response or confirmation may include your personal information. We cannot guarantee that our e-mails to you will be secure from unauthorized interception.

HOW IS PERSONAL INFORMATION SECURED?

We have implemented generally accepted standards of technology and operational security in order to protect personally-identifiable information from loss, misuse, alteration, or destruction.
