PRIVACY POLICY

This privacy policy (the “Privacy Policy”) explains eshots treatment of information that eshots: collects via www.eshots.com or any web site sponsored by one of our business customers (either, a “Site”); collects at an event sponsored by one of our business customers (an “Event”); or receives from any of our business customers. Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. Your use of the Site indicates to eshots that you have read and accept eshots’ privacy practices, as outlined in this Privacy Policy.

INFORMATION COLLECTED

We may ask you to provide us with personally identifiable information, which is information that could reasonably be used to identify you personally (such as your name, address, e-mail address and telephone number) at an Event or when you pre-register or register your Event pass at a Site or at other times, such as if you send us a support or other request e-mail. eshots may also ask you to provide us with demographic information or information regarding your interests, hobbies, gender, marital status, level of education, salary or similar information. If you choose to register an Event pass and provide us with personally identifiable information, your personally identifiable information will be associated with all uses of your Event pass. In addition to the above, when you visit or download information from a Site, our web servers may automatically collect web site usage information. Web site usage information is non-personally identifiable information that describes how our visitors use and navigate a Site. It can include the number and frequency of visitors to each web page and the length of their stays, browser type, referrer data that identifies the web page visited prior and subsequent to visiting the Site, and IP address (see below for more information on IP addresses). We may determine the applicable technology available in order to serve you the most appropriate version of a web page, e-mail or similar service.

Children Under 13 Years of Age

The Site is not a web site directed to children under the age of 13, and eshots does not knowingly collect personally identifiable information on a Site from children under 13 years of age. If eshots discovers that a child under the age of 13 has provided eshots with personally identifiable information through a Site, eshots will delete that child’s personally identifiable information from its system.

Use of Cookies and Similar Technologies

Cookies are pieces of information that a web site either transfers to your computer’s hard drive or stores temporarily in your computer’s memory for record-keeping purposes. We may use cookies for a number of purposes, such as tracking usage patterns on a Site, facilitating the transmission of a communication, customizing your experience on a Site, facilitating your ability to navigate a Site, or as part of a verification or screening process. Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. You can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent by indicating this in the preferences or options menu in your browser. However, it is possible that some parts of a Site will not operate correctly if you disable cookies and you may not be able to take advantage of or participate in certain features of a Site. You should consult with your browser’s provider/manufacturer if you have any questions regarding disabling cookies.

A Site’s pages or e-mail messages may contain a small graphic image called a web beacon (also know as a web bug or clear gif) that allows the party that set the web beacon to monitor and collect certain information about the viewer of the web page, web-based document or e-mail message, such as the type of browser requesting the web beacon, the IP address of the computer that the web beacon is sent to and the time the web beacon was viewed. Web beacons can be very small and invisible to the user, but, in general, any electronic image viewed as part of a web page or e-mail, including HTML based content, can act as a web beacon. eshots does not have control over web beacons used by third parties and does not have access to whatever information they may collect.

Use of Internet Protocol (“IP”) Addresses

An IP address is a number that’s automatically assigned to your computer or network when you are on the internet. When you request pages from a Site, eshots’ servers log your IP address. eshots may use IP addresses for a number of purposes, such as system administration, to report aggregate information to our business customers or to audit the use of a Site. eshots may associate your IP address with the personally identifiable information you provide. eshots may also use IP addresses in cooperation with internet service providers or law enforcement agencies to identify users if eshots deems it necessary to comply with law, to enforce compliance with its Privacy Policy, or to protect a Site or its users.

USE AND DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION

Use

eshots takes your privacy very seriously and your personally identifiable information is only used by eshots and the business customer whose Site you visit. Eshots may use your personally identifiable information only under the following circumstances:

for purposes disclosed to you when you disclose the information on a Site
to contact you in connection with a sweepstakes, contest or other promotion in the context of the Event or Site which you visited
to contact you regarding any problems or questions we have relating to your use of a Site; and
to notify you of changes to our Privacy Policy or other policy or terms that affect you and your use of a Site, if we generally provide such notices to users.
If you provide us with personally identifiable information of a friend, or your friend provides personally identifiable information about you, to e-mail a photo or other special feature from a Site, the e-mail addresses you or your friend supply us for those activities will not be used to send you or your friend other e-mail communications unless disclosed at the time you provide such information.

Please note that information submitted to a Site via a “contact us,” “help” or other similar e-mail address or form will not necessarily receive a response. We will use the information provided to these e-mail addresses or forms only to respond, if at all, to any question or comment submitted. We will not use the information provided to these e-mail addresses or forms for marketing purposes unrelated to your request.

Disclosure/Sharing

Personally identifiable information collected by eshots when you visit a Site will only be shared with the business customer whose Site you visit and to which you disclose information. Your personally identifiable information is only used as disclosed on a Site or registration form and is not shared or sold to other parties, except for the limited circumstances stated below:

When you affirmatively agree to the disclosure;
To fulfill orders for products or services that you place with eshots or a Site;
To fulfill legal requirements for a sweepstakes, contest or promotion, including, without limitation, disclosure on a winners list and in connection with prize fulfillment. By entering a promotion, you are agreeing to the official rules that govern that promotion, which may contain specific requirements of you, including, except where prohibited by law, allowing the sponsor of the promotion to use your name, voice or likeness in advertising or marketing associated with the promotion or otherwise;
In response to a request from local, state or federal law enforcement officials or other governmental authorities conducting an investigation; by any judicial, administrative, or similar proceeding or order (such as a subpoena); or otherwise where eshots has a good faith belief that such disclosure is necessary to protect the legal rights of a Site, our users, or others;
To verify or enforce eshots’ policies;
In the event eshots merges with another business entity or its assets related to the products or services that you receive from eshots are acquired by another business entity, or its business is consolidated, or it goes through a fundamental corporate change; and
When eshots employs third parties to perform functions on its behalf. These include, without limitation, third party hosting companies, communication services (including e-mail and mail), data analysts, promotion agencies, classified fulfillment and processing companies, credit card transaction processors, companies that provide user and marketing assistance, companies that create, host, fulfill or run contests/sweepstakes/games and other customer service companies.
Please note that if you agree to receive communications from a third party (including our business customers), your information will be subject to the third party’s privacy policy. Therefore, if you later decide that you do not want that third party to use your information, you will need to contact the third party directly.
eshots may also disclose non-personally identifying information, such as aggregated user statistics, to third parties for several reasons, including, without limitation, describing eshots and a Site to third parties.

LINKS

While on a Site or viewing an e-mail or other content provided by eshots or a Site, you may encounter links to other web sites or online materials operated by third parties (including our business customers). If you “click” on a link to such a third party, the “click” takes you off the Site and to a third party’s web site, which is beyond eshots’ control. These other web sites may set their own cookies (there is information above about cookies), collect data or have their own privacy policies and practices. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any other web site you visit. Links to any third party web site or content do not constitute or imply an endorsement or recommendation by eshots of the linked web site or content.

SECURITY

eshots stores the information we collect from you on limited access servers, and eshots takes steps to maintain the security of eshots’ servers and to protect your personally identifiable information from unauthorized disclosure. However, no data transmission over the Internet or electronic storage of information can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. eshots cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to eshots and you do so at your own risk.

CONSENT TO TRANSFER

This Site is operated in the United States. If you are located outside of the United States, please be aware that any information you provide to eshots will be transferred to the United States. By using this Site, participating in any of eshots’ services or providing eshots with your information, you consent to this transfer.

ACCEPTANCE & PRIVACY POLICY CHANGES

By using this Site, you accept our privacy practices, as outlined in this Privacy Policy. eshots reserves the right to modify, alter or otherwise update this Privacy Policy at any time.
