Please read this Privacy Notice carefully to understand how we treat your personal information and what choices and rights you have in this regard. If you do not agree with the terms and conditions of this Notice, you should not access or use our Website or our services. By using our Website, you acknowledge on behalf of yourself and any organization you represent that you have read and understand the contents of this Notice.

Additional information which addresses requirements of the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) and certain other applicable privacy laws is set forth below in the Section entitled “Rights and Responsibilities under Certain Privacy Laws.” If you are a resident of the EU or the state of California, please refer to said Section of this Privacy Notice.

This Privacy Notice applies to information we collect:

On our Website.
In email and other electronic messages between you and our Website.
When you interact with us in another way - for example, contacting us with an inquiry through our “Contact Us” form on our Website.

We may modify this Privacy Notice from time to time (see the Section entitled “Changes to This Notice”, below), so please check this Notice periodically for updates. If any questions arise about the meaning or interpretation of this Privacy Notice, the English-language version of this Notice is the official text.

Collecting and Using User Information

If you elect to provide information that personally identifies you, such as your name, employer name and title, mailing address or phone number, we will collect, use and share it pursuant to this Privacy Notice and applicable law. We collect information in different ways from those who access our Website. We primarily use this information to provide a customized experience as you use our Website and do not share this information with third parties, though we may disclose such information if we have received your permission beforehand or in special circumstances, such as when we believe that such disclosure is required by law, or in other special cases described below.

Contact Forms

Our Website has a “Contact Us” form for users to request information and services (the “Contact Us” Form). We collect users’ contact information—which, as stated above, consists of (and is generally limited to) the user’s name, employer name, title, and email address and an opportunity to provide additional information of your choosing, such as your street address and telephone number--through this “Contact Us” Form. Collected information is used to contact the user regarding the matter addressed in the “Contact Us” Form and to provide the user with information about us, including promotional materials. As more fully described elsewhere in this Privacy Notice, users may opt out of receiving future communications at any time by emailing an opt-out request to info@execinc.com.

Cookies

A "cookie" is a small data file that can be placed on your hard drive when you visit certain websites. EDI may use cookies to collect, store, and sometimes track information for statistical purposes, to improve the products and services we provide, or to save your settings and to provide customizable and personalized services. These cookies do not enable third parties to access any of your personal information. Most browsers accept cookies automatically, but can be configured not to do so or to notify the user when a cookie is being sent. If you wish to disable cookies, refer to your browser help menu to learn how to disable cookies. If you disable cookies, it may interfere with the proper functioning of the website.

Additionally, be aware that if you visit non-EDI websites where you are prompted to log in or that are customizable, you may be required to accept cookies. Third parties and other non-EDI websites may also use their own cookies. We do not control use of these cookies and expressly disclaim responsibility for information collected through them.

Finally, we may occasionally enable and implement various analytic tools, such as Google Analytics, which is an analytics tool provided by Google to collect and process collected information and data consisting of certain telematics about your use of our Website. Google sets and reads cookies to collect such Collected Data and your web browser will automatically send such collected information and data to Google. Google stores and uses this data to provide us with reports that we use to improve the Website’s structure and content. For more information on Google Analytics, please see www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/.

Automated Information

When you visit our Website, we automatically collect information from your browser or your mobile device, such as Internet Protocol (IP) address or unique device identifier, cookies, and data about which pages you visit in order to allow us to operate and provide the website and our services. This information is used for the purposes described in “Use of Personal Information”, below.

Email Interconnectivity

If you receive email communications from us, we may use certain tools to capture data related to when you open our messages and click on hyperlinks or banners it may contain. We use this information internally to enhance and support our marketing and sales operations.

Social Media

When you provide us with your personal information through our “Contact Us” Form on our Website, or through social media or other online survey tools and platforms, we or third parties operating those tools, platforms or social media sites, may collect your social media handle or profile, and/or any other identifier that you use to be contacted online or offline. This information may also include personally identifiable and business information and whatever information or comments you may post on such platforms, but only to the extent that you voluntarily provide it to us. Anything you post on a social media platform or site is public information and will not be treated confidentially. Your use of social media platforms is governed by the privacy policies and terms of the third parties that own and operate those platforms and not by this Policy. We encourage you to review those policies and terms.

Use of Personal Information

In addition to the uses described above, we use the personal information collected in an effort to improve your experience on our Website, to provide services to you, and to communicate with you about the information you have requested. We may also use personal information to help target specific offers to you and to help us develop and improve our Website and services. Additionally, we may use your personal information in the following ways:

To provide you with services you have requested and to manage our relationship with you, including taking any other steps necessary to the performance of our business relationship with you;
To present and improve website contact and functionality;
To determine user interests, needs and preferences;
To provide notice of changes to our Website or the services we offer or provide through it;
To conduct research and analysis;
To develop new products and services;
To manage and maintain the security of our Website and services; and
To provide you with information about our services.

We do not sell, rent, or lease our customer lists or other information obtained through our Website to third parties.

Disclosure of Personal Information

It is the policy of EDI not to use or share the personal information about users in ways unrelated to the ones described above without also providing you an opportunity to opt out or otherwise prohibit such unrelated uses. However, EDI may disclose personal information about users, or information regarding your use of our Website, for any reason if, in our sole discretion, we believe that it is necessary and/or reasonable to do so, including, for instance, to satisfy or comply with applicable laws, regulations, or governmental or legal requests for such information; to disclose information that is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be violating our Website Terms of Use or other user policies; to operate the Website properly; or to protect us and/or our users.

Security

We use commercially reasonable technical and organizational measures to help secure your personal information and prevent it from being lost, used or accessed in an unauthorized manner, altered or disclosed during collection, storage, and processing. While our security measures seek to protect your personal information in our possession, no security system is perfect and we cannot guarantee that your personal information will remain absolutely secure in all circumstances or that any privacy settings or security measures contained on our Website cannot be circumvented.

We use SSL/TLS encryption to protect the transmission of Website data. An encrypted connection is designated by a lock symbol in the browser address bar. The “Contact Us” Form data is transmitted from the web server to EDI by regular email. While email is convenient, it does pose some risks (e.g., email is not a secure form of communication, is unreliable, can be forwarded, etc.).

If a security breach causes an unauthorized intrusion into our Website or systems that compromises your data, we will notify you and any applicable regulator only if required under applicable law.

Access From Outside the United States

Our Website is operated and maintained by us from the United States. If you access our Website from outside the United States, please be aware that any personal information from you will be transferred to, stored in, and processed in the United States.

Access to and Updating Your Personal Information

If you wish to access or update your personal information as it exists in our records, use our “Contact Us” Form to update your information.

We are not responsible for any losses arising from any inaccurate, inauthentic, deficient or incomplete personal data that you provide to us. For further information, see our Website Terms of Use.

Our Website is not intended for children under 16 years of age. EDI does not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 16. If you are under 16, do not use or provide any information on our Website or provide any information about yourself to us, including your name, telephone number, email address or any screen name or user name you may use. If we learn we have collected or received personally identifiable information from a child under 16 without verification of parental consent, we will delete that information. If you believe we might have any information from or about a child under 16, please contact us at info@execinc.com or at the toll-free telephone number set forth at the end of this Privacy Notice.
