The owners and management of the ECS is committed to protecting your privacy as a visitor to this Web site and a user of its resources. Because of that, the ECS operates by these principles. The owners and management of the ECS are the owner of the information collected on this Web site. We will not sell, disseminate, disclose, trade, transmit, transfer, share, lease or rent any personally identifiable information to any third party not specifically authorized by you to receive your information except as we have disclosed to you in this Privacy Policy.
When you request membership within the system, we will ask for information that personally identifies you. This information will include your name, location, and email address. This information will be provided to the system coordinators so they can create your account. Your personal details will be available in the contacts section of your community and accessible only by your community members. Your email address will be used as the primary channel for communicating news, discussions, new developments, and resources. At no time is communication within the system anonymous.
A cookie is a piece of data that is stored on a visitor's hard drive while they are visiting this Web site. We may utilize a short-lived form of cookie when you visit this site. For the ECS, a cookie is only used to identify one unique visitor from another visitor during a particular session. A session is the period of active site-use while that unique visitor is linked to our server. We may use cookie technology during a session as a tool to carry forward your input information during use of the system. No personally identifiable information is stored on the cookie. The cookie expires and is deleted from the visitor's computer as soon as they close their browser or if they are not actively browsing our Web site. Should a previous visitor to our Web site return for a new session, they will be issued a new cookie and in no way will they be recognized as a visitor from a previous visit or session.
This Web site may contain links to third party Web sites that are not controlled by the owners and management of ECS. These third party links are made available to you as a convenience and you agree to use these links at your own risk. Please be aware that owners and managers of ECS are not responsible for the content of third party Web sites nor are we responsible for the privacy policy or practices of those third party Web sites. Our Privacy Policy only applies to information we collect from you while you are on the ECS Web site. If you should link to a third party Web site from the system, we strongly encourage you to review and become familiar with that Web site's privacy policy.
We reserve the right to change this Privacy Policy without providing you with advance notice of our intent to make the changes.
