Collection of Information

 

Public Website:

For each visitor browsing our website, our web server does not recognize any information regarding the domain or e-mail address of our visitors. We only collect personally identifiable information from those who correspond directly with us and volunteer their information in the course of inquiring about our products and/or services via phone, online form, or e-mail. The types of information often volunteered by our visitors include name, company, e-mail, phone, and fax number. The information we collect from visitors browsing our website is used solely for internal review. Information collected from direct inquiries is used in order to respond to the inquiry. We are committed to the privacy of our visitors, do not collect personal information from cookies, and no volunteered personally identifiable information obtained is ever sold, rented, shared, or otherwise disseminated with any other organization, agency, corporation, entity, or third-party without your permission except as set forth in this Policy.

 

Secure Website:

Access to our services, via our secure website, is only available to established qualified clients and requires a login and password provided by Ekeholm. The use of those services, and the information exchanged on this website, are governed by a written End-User Agreement between Ekeholm and its clients.

 

Data Security:

Ekeholm has put into place security measures in an effort to protect personal information from loss, misuse or alteration while it is under our control. We use technical, contractual, administrative and physical measures in an effort to protect against unauthorized access. We employ Secure Socket Layer (SSL) data encryption on our secure website. Our servers are located on a separate sub network, which is not connected to the Internet with addresses that are not Internet Routable. A dedicated firewall resides between the applications and databases only allowing data requests which originate from set private IP addresses. As an additional layer of security, sensitive data is encrypted while at rest in the database. Data is also secured to prevent one client from accessing another client’s data during each request to the database.

 

Cookies and Tracking Technology:

Ekeholm does not set any cookies. If you supply us with your postal address online, you will only receive the information for which you provided us with your address. Persons who supply us with their telephone numbers online will only receive telephone contact from us with information regarding response to their inquiry.

 

Other Disclosures:

In addition, we may disclose personal information in the good faith belief that we are required to do so by law, or that doing so is reasonably necessary to comply with legal process, respond to any claims, or to protect the rights, property, or personal safety of Ekeholm, our customers, employees or the public. Information about our customers, including personal information, may be disclosed as part of, or during negotiations of, any merger, sale of company assets or acquisition.

 

Use of Web Site by Children:

This site is not intended for children. Ekeholm encourages parents to take an active interest in their children’s use of the internet. Ekeholm does not intend to collect information from children who are under 18 years of age.

Through our Web site, users can link to other websites of third parties that provide useful information, products or services. Any personal information you provide on the linked pages is provided directly to this third-party and is subject to that third party’s provider’s privacy policy.

 

Except as described above, Ekeholm is not responsible for the content or privacy practices of Web sites to which we link. Links from our site to third party’s or other sites are provided for your convenience. We encourage you to learn about the privacy practices of each Web site before providing them with personal information.
