Information Collection and Use
ESQuotes is the
sole owner of the information collected on this site. We will not sell, share,
or rent this information to others in ways different from what is disclosed in
this statement. ESQuotes collects information from our users at several different
points on our website.
Order
We request information from the user on our order form. Here a user must provide
contact information (like name and shipping address) and financial information
(like credit card number, expiration date). This information is used for billing
purposes and to fill customer’s orders. If we have trouble processing an order,
this contact information is used to get in touch with the user.
Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user’s hard drive containing information
about the user. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any personally identifiable
information while on our site. Once the user closes their browser, the cookie
simply terminates. For instance, by setting a cookie on our site, the user would
not have to log in a password more than once, thereby saving time while on our
site. If a user rejects the cookie, they may still use our site. The only drawback
to this is that the user will be limited in some areas of our site. For example,
the user will not be able to participate in any of our Sweepstakes, Contests or
monthly Drawings that take place. Cookies can also enable us to track and target
the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our site.
Some of our business
partners use cookies on our site (for example, advertisers). However, we have
no access to or control over these cookies.
Log Files
We use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the site, track user’s movement,
and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses are not
linked to personally identifiable information.
Sharing
We will share aggregated demographic information with our partners and advertisers.
This is not linked to any personal information that can identify any individual
person.
We partner with another party to
provide specific services. When the user signs up for these services, we will
share names, or other contact information that is necessary for the third party
to provide these services.
These parties are not allowed to
use personally identifiable information except for the purpose of providing these
services.
Links
This web site contains links to other sites. Please be aware that we, ESQuotes
are not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage
our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements
of each and every web site that collects personally identifiable information.
This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by this Web site.
Newsletter
If a user wishes to subscribe to our newsletter, we ask for contact information
such as name and email address.
Surveys & Contests
From time-to-time our site requests information from users via surveys or
contests. Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary and
the user therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose this information. Information
requested may include contact information (such as name and shipping address),
and demographic information (such as zip code, age level). Contact information
will be used to notify the winners and award prizes. Survey information will be
used for purposes of monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction of this
site.
Tell-A-Friend
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. ESQuotes.com
will automatically send the friend a one-time email inviting them to visit the
site. ESQuotes.com stores this information for the sole purpose of sending
this one-time email. The friend may contact us at http://www.esquotes.com
to request the removal of this information from their database.
Security
This website takes every precaution to protect our users’ information. When
users submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected
both online and off-line.
If you have any questions about the
security at our website, you can send an email to webmaster@esquotes.com.
Special Offers
We send all new members a welcoming email to verify password and username.
Established members will occasionally receive information on products, services,
special deals, and a newsletter. Out of respect for the privacy of our users we
present the option to not receive these types of communications. Please see our
choice and opt-out below.
Site and Service Updates
We also send the user site and service
announcement updates. We communicate with the user to provide requested services
and in regards to issues relating to their account via email or phone.
Correction/Updating Personal Information:
If a user’s personally identifiable information changes (such as your zip
code), or if a user no longer desires our service, we will endeavor to provide
a way to correct, update or remove that user’s personal data provided to us. This
can usually be done at the member information page or by emailing our Customer
Support.
Choice/Opt-out
Our users are given the opportunity to ‘opt-out’ of having their information
used for purposes not directly related to our site at the point where we ask for
the information. For example, our order form has an ‘opt-out’ mechanism so users
who buy a product from us, but don’t want any marketing material, can keep their
email address off of our lists.
Users who no longer wish to receive
our newsletter or promotional materials from our partners may opt-out of receiving
these communications by replying to unsubscribe in the subject line in the email
or email us at mailto:support@esquotes.com
Users of our site are always notified
when their information is being collected by any outside parties. We do this so
our users can make an informed choice as to whether they should proceed with services
that require an outside party, or not.
Notification of Changes
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on our
Homepage so our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we
use it, and under circumstances, if any, we disclose it. If at any point we decide
to use personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated
at the time it was collected, we will notify users by way of an email. Users will
have a choice as to whether or not we use their information in this different
manner. We will use information in accordance with the privacy policy under which
the information was collected.
