Analytics
As is true of most web sites and mobile applications, we gather certain information automatically and store it in log files. We use analytics providers such as Google Analytics. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect non-identifying information. Google provides some additional privacy options regarding its Analytics cookies at http://www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/ This information includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data, mobile device identifiers, and advertising identifiers. We use this information, which does not identify individual users, to analyze trends, to administer the site, to track users’ movements around the site and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole. We do not link this automatically-collected data to personal information.
Who we share your data with
As a general policy, we use personal information and message data for internal purposes only. We do not sell or rent information about you. We will not disclose personal information or message data to third parties without your consent, except as explained in this Privacy Policy. Other than a spam checker, analytics analysis, and third parties who process payments, conduct marketing, produce and ship our products your information is not shared with anyone else. The information your provide is used by EcoElsa llc for our purposes only.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
EcoElsa llc collects your personal data for the requirements of carrying out our contractual obligations as well as information about how and when you use our services, and we retain this data in active databases, so long as you use our services. EcoElsa llc in no way undertakes to store data, other then comments, indefinitely.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes. To contact us with questions or remove your contact information from our databases go to the EcoElsa Contact Form with “remove contact info” as the heading and your request or question below and we will get back to you as soon as possible.
Where we send your data
Visitor comments and contact forms may be checked through an automated spam detection service as well as analyzed using a third party analytics plugin on our website. Otherwise all data is kept in our database and is not shared with other groups unless you are using a third party application that also has access to some of this data. An example of this would be using paypal to purchase something from our website.
Additional information
How we protect your data
The security of your Personal Information is important to us, but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Information, but we cannot guarantee its absolute security
What data breach procedures we have in place
We have different layers of security to help prevent data breaches. In the event of attempted data breaches our security provider notifies us and we make changes to further protect our site. If your data was ever to be compromised we would work with our security provider to 1) identify whose data had been accessed and notify them immediately; and 2) work to further protect the site and prevent future breaches.
What third parties we receive data from
Like the internet itself, online marketing is a networked enterprise. Thus, we want to make it clear that we do contract with third parties, including Google, Facebook, and Woocommerce, to assist us with marketing (including distributing e-mails on our behalf), analytics, payment, social, and other business purposes. These third parties may use third-party cookies, or other methods or technologies like website scripting, pixels, or action tags to collect information about you when you visit the Site or interact with emails. We use the information collected by third parties for a variety of purposes, including to learn which online advertisements attracted you; to improve our content, products, and services; to inform groups of users about relevant products and services, and to help us analyze the Site and the effectiveness of our marketing. The use of your information by such third parties is governed by each third party’s privacy policy.
Compliance with the Laws
EcoElsa cooperates with government and law enforcement officials to enforce and comply with the law. We may therefore disclose personal information, usage data, message data, and any other information about you, if we deem that it is reasonably necessary to: (a) satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process (such as a subpoena or court order), or enforceable governmental request; (b) enforce the Terms of Use, including investigation of potential violations thereof; (c) detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security or technical issues; or (d) protect against harm to the rights, property or safety of the Company, its users or the public, as required or permitted by law
