Privacy Statement

Thank you for visiting the ECCO International web site and reviewing our privacy policy. The purpose of this policy is two-fold: to explain how we handle information we collect from you and how you handle information you collect from us during your visit to our web site. Enjoy!

Commercial use of any sort must be agreed upon in advance through a written agreement of terms, signed and approved of by ECCO International.

Those who choose to access this site do so on their own initiative and are responsible for compliance with local laws, if and to the extent applicable. Users agree not to use the site for sale, trade or other commercial purposes. Users also may not post or transmit information or materials that would violate rights of any third party or which contains a virus or other harmful component.

The materials in this site are provided "as is" and without warranties of any kind either express or implied. To the fullest extent permissible pursuant to applicable law, ECCO international disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including, but not limited to, implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose. ECCO international provides up-to-date information at the time of site publication. However, quotes or stats pulled from this site must have prior written approval by ECCO International. ECCO International does not warrant that the site will be free of errors or viruses.

ECCO International is committed to making its documentation on its internet server accessible to all. Currently, we are reviewing our site and making modifications to those pages which are not in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Acts. We use Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) to create pages that are generally accessible to persons using screen reading devices, and we are careful in our construction of HTML documents to insure maximum accessibility. We will include alternate text describing graphics. ECCO International has written many internet documents in ASCII or HTML formats. These documents are accessible to persons using screen reading software. We also have some documents in Adobe Acrobat PDF (Portable Document Format) files. Currently, many people using screen reading devices cannot read documents in PDF format.

Adobe Systems, Inc., is producing various products designed to make Adobe Acrobat documents accessible to persons using screen reading software. Their accessibility web pages describe their efforts. They also have a free downloadable accessibility plug-in, called Adobe Access. This plug-in helps to overcome some of the problems of reading PDF documents with screen readers. While these tools are in development, we are committed to providing ASCII or HTML versions of these PDF files when requested.

Privacy Policy for All Visitors

It is important to keep in mind that we do not collect personally-identifiable information (name, address, e-mail address, or other unique identifiers) on our web site unless we specifically advise you that we are doing so.

Cookies are pieces of information that a Web site transfers to an individual's hard drive for record-keeping purposes while at the site. Cookies make Web-surfing easier by, among other things, saving your passwords, purchases, and preferences for you. The use of cookies is an industry standard, and you'll find cookies at most major Web sites.

Most browsers are initially set to accept cookies. If you'd prefer, you can set yours to refuse cookies. However, it is likely that some areas of the site will not function properly if you do so.

We do not use cookies extensively. Some activities, however, may require the use of transient cookies. Transient cookies are used to keep track of user selections so that new requests for specific data or maps can be created more efficiently. These transient cookies go away completely when you exit the browser.

ECCO International may collect personally identifying information only during any registration process. In addition, information is collected in certain portions of the Service in which users specifically and knowingly provide such information along with content submissions, community postings (i.e., chat or bulletin boards), suggestions, or voting.

When you send us personally-identifying information in an e-mail, we use the information you provide only to help us gather the information you might request. In an effort to respond to your request, information you submit may be viewed by various people within ECCO International.

ECCO International reserves the right to use, remove or edit messages or material submitted by users. By submitting information to ECCO International, users grant ECCO permission to use any information, suggestions, ideas, drawings or concepts communicated for any purpose ECCO chooses, commercial, public, or otherwise worldwide without compensation whatsoever unless otherwise requested by the user at the time of submission.

ECCO International may use such information for its internal purposes, including but not limited to editorial and feedback purposes. ECCO International may also publicly post any such information on a site. Information submitted at the time of registration or submission may be used for marketing and promotional purposes by ECCO International and may be shared with companies that have been pre-screened by ECCO.

If a user objects to such use for any reason, he/she may stop that use - either by email request or by modifying his/her registration information online.

Under no circumstances, including but not limited to negligence, will ECCO International be liable for special or consequential damages that result from the use or inability to use the materials on this site.
