Enertechnix is committed to fair information practices and respects
the privacy and security of its users. This Privacy Policy
(“Policy”) describes how personal information is collected from
users of the Enertechnix website at www.enertechnix.com (the
“Site”), and how that information is used and disclosed. By using
our Site, you consent to the terms of this Policy.
What Is Personal Information?
Personal information is information that specifically identifies an
individual, such as a customer's name, address, telephone number,
email address, credit card or other account number, and information
about that individual's activities when directly linked to that
person such as information about his or her Site activities or
purchases. Personal information also includes demographic
information such as date of birth, gender, geographic area and
preferences when such information is linked to other personal
information that identifies you.
Personal information does not include “aggregate” information.
Aggregate information is data we collect about a group or category
of products, services or customers, from which individual customer
identities have been removed. In other words, information about how
you use a service may be collected and combined with information
about how others use the same service, but no personal information
will be included in the resulting data. Likewise, information about
the products or services you purchase may be collected and combined
with information about the products or services purchased by others.
Aggregate data helps us understand trends and customer needs so that
we can better consider new products and services, and tailor
existing products and services to customer desires.
Personal Information We Collect
You provide personal information to us in a number of ways when you
visit our Site. For example, you provide us with personal
information when you (1) purchase products or services from us; (2)
participate in any survey on the Site; (3) contact us by email for
any reason (such as to request customer service or provide us with
your comments/feedback); or (4) register online to access Site
information or register for other services. We collect your name,
billing address, email address, phone number and other information
in this manner.
When you visit our Site, some information is also automatically
collected, such as your computer's operating system and browser type
and the time and date of your visit. This information is collected
through the use of “cookies.” Cookies are small files that are
stored on your computer by a website to give you a unique
identification. We use cookies on our Site to keep track of
purchases you have made, to apply and enforce digital rights
management permissions, and to keep you logged in to the Site. We
treat automatically collected information as personal information if
we combine it with or link it to any of the personally identifying
information mentioned above. Otherwise, it is used in the aggregate
only.
How We Use Personal Information
In general, we use personal information to process your requests or
transactions and provide you with products and services, or to
inform you about other products or services we think will be of
interest. For example, we use your information to deliver products
or provide services you have purchased, to send you promotional
materials via email and postal mail, to improve our products and
services, and to develop new products and services. We may also
receive information from third parties with whom we have business
relationships, and may combine this information with the other
personal information we maintain about you. If we do so, this Policy
governs such information.
Sharing of Personal Information
You agree that we may use personal information for marketing and
other purposes and disclose this information to third parties for
the same purposes. We may also share personal information with
third-party vendors who assist us in performing internal functions
necessary to operate our business. These functions may include, for
example, analyzing data, providing marketing assistance, processing
credit card payments, mailing items, and fulfilling or delivering
orders. In all cases, we limit the information shared with our
third-party vendors to that which is necessary to carry out those
functions. We are not responsible for any additional information you
provide to these parties, and we encourage you to become familiar
with their practices before disclosing information directly to them.
We also disclose personal information when we believe it is
appropriate to comply with the law (e.g., a lawful subpoena, warrant
or court order); to enforce or apply this Policy or our other
policies or agreements; to initiate, render, bill and collect for
amounts owed to us; to protect our or our customers' rights,
property or safety; to protect our customers from fraudulent,
abusive or unlawful use of our Site; or if we reasonably believe
that an emergency involving immediate danger of death or serious
physical injury to any person requires disclosure of communications
or justifies disclosure of records without delay.
In addition, information about our customers, including personally
identifiable information, may be disclosed as part of any merger,
acquisition, debt financing or sale of company assets, as well as in
the event of an insolvency, bankruptcy or receivership in which
personally identifiable information could be transferred to third
parties as one of our business assets.
Links to Other Websites
Our Site may contain links to other websites. Links from
our Site to other sites or content are provided for your convenience
only, and we do not have control over the content, or privacy and
security practices and policies, of such third parties or other
sites. Any personal information you provide on linked pages is
provided directly to that third party and is subject to that third
party's privacy policy. We encourage you to learn about their
privacy and security practices and policies before providing them
with personal information.
Security
We have put into place reasonable security measures in an effort to
prevent loss, misuse and alteration of information while it is under
our control. We cannot, however, guarantee protection of all
information against interception, misappropriation, misuse or
alteration, or that your information may not be disclosed or
accessed by accidental circumstances or by the unauthorized acts of
others. Furthermore, we have no control over the security of other
sites you might visit, interact with or do business with.
Policy Changes
We will modify this privacy policy if our privacy practices change
in the future. We will notify you of the changes only by posting the
new policy on our Site and indicating at the top of the privacy
policy the date it was last updated. We encourage you to review our
privacy policy each time you visit our Site to see if it has been
updated since your last visit and to make sure you understand how
information you provide will be used.

We welcome your feedback. If you have any comments about this Policy
or would like to contact us for any reason, you may reach us via
