Systems (Elationsys) web site (the "Site")
is of great importance to us. Because we

We
require customers who register to use
the services ("Services") offered
on our Site to give us contact information,
such as their name, company name, address,
phone number, and e-mail address, and
financial qualification and billing information,
such as billing name and address, credit
card number, and the number of users within
the organization that will be using the
Services. At the time you express interest
in attaining additional information, or
when you register for the service, we
may also ask for additional personal information,
such as title, department name, fax number,
or additional company information, such
as annual revenues, number of employees,
or industry. Customers can opt out of
providing this additional information
by not entering it when asked. Customers
can update or remove their personal information
at any time by logging into the Website
and editing their Personal Information
within Setup. Customers can view their
updated profile to confirm their edits
have been made.
Elationsys uses the information that we
collect to set up Services for individuals
and their organizations. We may also use
the information to contact customers to
further discuss customer interest in our
company, the Services that we provide,
and to send information regarding our
company or partners, such as promotions
and events. Customers are invited to receive
an email newsletter by providing an email
address. Customer email addresses and
any personal customer information will
not be distributed or shared with any
third parties. Customers can opt out of
being contacted by us, or receiving such
information from us, at any time by sending
an email to Support@Elationsystems.com. Separately,
customers are also asked to provide an
email address when registering for the
Service, in order to receive a username
and password. We may also email information
regarding updates to the Service or company.
At times we will send the customer a newsletter. Again,
email will not be distributed or shared
and customers can opt out of receiving
any communication by emailing Support@Elationsystems.com
at the time it is distributed, or at the
time any customer registers for the Service.
Except as we explicitly state at the time
we request information, or as provided
for in the Elationsys Master Subscription
Agreement, we do not disclose to any third-party
the information provided. All financial
and billing information that we collect
through the Site is used solely to check
the qualifications of prospective customers
and to bill for Services. This billing
information is not used by Elationsys
for marketing or promotional purposes.
Elationsys uses a third-party intermediary
to manage the credit card processing.
This intermediary is solely a link in
the distribution chain, and is not permitted
to store, retain, or use the information
provided, except for the sole purpose
of credit card processing. Other third
parties, such as content providers, may
provide content on the web Site but they
are not permitted to collect any information
nor does Elationsys share any user information
with these parties.
Customers of the Service will be using
the Site to host data and information
("Data"). Elationsys will not
review, share, distribute, print, or reference
any such Data except as provided in the
Elationsys Master Subscription Agreement,
or as may be required by law. Individual
records may at times be viewed or accessed
only for the purpose of resolving a problem,
support issue, or suspected violation
of the Master Subscription Agreement,
or as may be required by law. Of course,
customers are responsible for maintaining
the confidentiality and security of their
user registration and password.
Elationsys may also collect certain information
from visitors to and customers of the
Site, such as Internet addresses. This
information is logged to help diagnose
technical problems, and to administer
our Site in order to constantly improve
the quality of the Service. We may also
track and analyze non-identifying and
aggregate usage and volume statistical
information from our visitors and customers
and provide such information to third
parties.
If a user elects to use our referral service
for informing a friend about our site,
we ask them for the friend's name and
email address. Elationsys will automatically
send the friend a one-time email inviting
them to visit the site. Elationsys does
not store this information. |

When
you interact with the Elationsys Website
we strive to make that experience easy and
meaningful. When you come to our Web site,
our Web server sends a cookie to your computer.
Cookies are files that Web browsers place
on a computer's hard drive and are used
to tell us whether customers and visitors
have visited the Site previously.
Standing alone, cookies do not identify
you personally. They merely recognize your
browser. Unless you choose to identify yourself
to Elationsys, either by responding to a
promotional offer, opening an account, you
remain anonymous to Elationsys. Cookies
come in two flavors: session and persistent-based.
Session cookies exist only during an online
session. They disappear from your computer
when you close your browser software or
turn off your computer. Persistent cookies
remain on your computer after you've closed
your browser or turned off your computer.
They include such information as a unique
identifier for your browser.
Elationsys uses session cookies containing
encrypted information to allow the system
to uniquely identify you while you are logged
in. This information allows Elationsys to
process your online transactions and requests.
Session cookies help us make sure you are
who you say you are after you've logged
in and are required in order to use the
Elationsys application. Elationsys uses
persistent cookies that only Elationsys
can read and use, to identify the fact that
you are an Elationsys customer or prior
Elationsys Website visitor (whatever the
case may be). We are especially careful
about the security and confidentiality of
the information stored in persistent cookies.
For example, we do not store account numbers
or passwords in persistent cookies. Users
who disable their Web browsers' ability
to accept cookies will be able to browse
our Website but will not be able to successfully
use our service. |

Systems Security Statement |

Elationsys utilizes some of the most advanced
technology for Internet security available
today. When you access our site using Microsoft
Internet Explorer versions 6.0 or higher,
Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology protects
your information using both server authentication
and data encryption, ensuring that your
data is safe, secure, and available only
to registered Users in your organization.
Your data will be completely inaccessible
to your competitors.
Elationsys provides each User in your organization
with a unique user name and password that
must be entered each time a User logs on.
Elationsys issues a session "cookie"
only to record encrypted authentication
information for the duration of a specific
session. The session "cookie"
does not include either the username or
password of the user. Elationsys does not
use "cookies" to store other confidential
user and session information, but instead
implements more advanced security methods
based on dynamic data and encoded session
IDs.
In addition, Elationsys is hosted in a secure
server environment that uses a firewall
and other advanced technology to prevent
interference or access from outside intruders. |
