Terms of Use

Please review our Terms of Use, which also governs your visit to and use of Energy Machine's web site.

Information Collected

Energy Machine collects personally identifiable information and non-personal information as a means to help improve the products and services we offer as well as the content offered on our web site. Energy Machine does not sell, trade, or rent your personally identifiable information to third parties for marketing purposes, or for any other reason except as provided in this Privacy Policy. The information we collect includes the following:

• Personal Information - We do not collect any personally identifiable information about you except for the information that you provide to us. We receive, store, and use this information to help us communicate with you, respond to your requests, and improve the content and services that Energy Machine has available.
  
  
• Other Information - We collect certain types of other information whenever you access our web site. This includes the use of "cookies," which are explained further below, and the information is used to help us provide content specific to your interests.
  
  
• Computer Training Information - We may collect certain information related to computer training you receive through our web site, such as whether a course was successfully completed. We will only use or share this information internally, with you or your place of employment.
  
  
• IP Addresses - An IP address is a number assigned to your computer automatically when you access the Internet. We use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server, to administer our web site and to report aggregate statistical information to third parties. We may associate IP address data with personally identifiable information, but IP address and personally identifiable information are not shared with third parties.
  
  
• Electronic Mail Communications - To enable us to more effectively communicate with our customers, we may receive a confirmation when you open e-mail correspondence, including your account registration, from us. We may periodically send our customers information regarding our products and services. If you wish to change your customer preferences regarding e-mail communications between you and us, please log into the Members Only Account Information web page to change your preference.
  
  
• Cookies and other Technical Information - Upon viewing our web site, your computer automatically receives certain information for it to store. This information is referred to as a cookie, which is an alphanumeric identifier that helps you to use a web site more efficiently and prevents you from reentering data every time you access our web site. We use cookies to store visitor preferences, record session information, record user-specific information on what pages users access or visit, record past activity at a web site in order to provide better service when visitors return to our web site, and customize web page content based on visitors' browser type or other information that the visitor sends.
  
  We may also use "Web beacons" that monitor your use of our web site. Web beacons are small strings of code that provide a method for delivering a graphic image on a web page for the purpose of transferring data, such as the IP address of the computer that downloaded the page on which the Web beacon appears, the time the page containing the Web beacon was viewed, the types of browser that obtained the Web beacon, and the identification number of any cookie on the computer previously placed by that server. When corresponding with you via HTML capable e-mail, we may use Web beacons to let us know whether you received and opened our e-mail.
  
  Cookies and Web beacons do not contain or reveal any personally identifiable information. However, if you choose to furnish the web site with personally identifiable information, this information can be linked to the data stored in the cookies and Web beacons.
  
  Should you wish to remove the cookies feature, most Internet browsers allow you to control the placement of cookies on your hard drive. You may also set your web browser to display HTML e-mails as text only, which may prevent the use of some Web beacons.

Sharing of Information

Your information is very important to us and we share such information only in limited situations. Your personally identifiable information is not shared with other organizations for commercial purposes. We do not sell, trade, or rent your personally identifiable information to any others. We may share your personally identifiable information with agents or contractors who assist in providing support for our internal operations. Also, we may use your information in connection with offering our products and services. We may also share such information when we believe it is necessary to comply with applicable laws, enforce or apply our Terms of Use, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Energy Machine, our customers, or others. We may share such information to a successor entity in connection with a corporate merger, consolidation, sale of assets, or other corporate change. Finally, we may share the information if we otherwise obtain your consent to do so.

Security

Our system security is designed to prevent unauthorized access to visitor information. We have security measures in place to protect against the loss, misuse, and alteration of your user data under our control.

All personal financial information, including social security numbers, is sent through a secure transmission. This means that any information of this type you send us is protected by encryption, so that it cannot be read as the information travels over the Internet. We use secure sockets layer (SSL) software, which is the industry standard for secure transactions. However, such security measures may not prevent all loss, misuse, or alteration of information on our web site.

Other Web Sites; Links

Our web site contains links to other third-party web sites. Please be aware that we are not responsible for the privacy practices, content, use of cookies, or the gathering of other information of such third-party web sites. We suggest you review the privacy policy of every web site you visit.

Children

Our web site complies with the terms of the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act. Under this Act, no web site operator is permitted to require, as a condition to participation in an activity, that a child under the age of 13 disclose more information than is reasonably necessary to participate. We will not knowingly collect personally identifiable information on users under the age of 13 and the content of our web site and the products and services available are not intended for children.

Future Uses and Opt-Out Provisions

We may use customer information for new, unanticipated uses not previously disclosed in our Privacy Policy. If our information practices change at some time in the future, we will post the policy modification to our web site to notify you of these changes. The notice will provide you with an opportunity to opt-out so that we may not use your personally identifiable information in a manner that is different from the manner described at the time that you provided us with such information.
