eXcessica Privacy Policy
1. How this Web Site gathers information about you
This Web Site collects and maintains certain personal information about you when you send us an e-mail or complete any of our online forms such as Register or Contact Us. The personal information you provide can identify you individually, and includes items such as your name and e-mail address, IP address, address, telephone number, or any other information that you choose to provide to us.
2. Ways information about you is collected
We may actively collect information about you from the following sources: applications, forms, and other information that you provide to us, whether in writing, in person, by telephone, electronically, or by any other means, and by public sources and credit reporting agencies. This information may include your name, address, billing information, and recent purchases. If you choose to send email messages to eXcessica, we may retain the content of your e-mail message, your email address, and our subsequent responses. Please be careful about the information that you provide us by e-mail; as with any public web site, this channel of communication is not necessarily secure against interception.
This Web Site logs these IP addresses and domain names and aggregates them for system administration and to monitor the use of our site. This monitoring helps us evaluate how our Web Site is used and continuously improve the content we provide. As you navigate through this Web Site, certain information can be passively collected (that is, gathered without your actively providing the information) using various technologies and means, such as navigational data collection. This Web Site may use Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. An IP address is a number assigned to your computer by your Internet service provider so you can access the Internet and is generally considered to be non-personally identifiable information, because in most cases an IP address is dynamic (changing each time you connect to the Internet), rather than static (unique to a particular user's computer). We use your IP address to diagnose problems with our server, report aggregate information, determine the fastest route for your computer to use in connecting to our site, and administer and improve the site. We may use the aggregated information to measure the number of visits to our site, the average time spent on our site, the number of pages viewed, and various other site use statistics. While we may review and report aggregated IP address information to eXcessica program participants, this Web Site does not link IP addresses or domain names with any personally identifiable information, which means that a visitor's session will be logged on our servers but the visitor will always remain anonymous.
A "cookie" is a bit of information that a web site sends to your web browser that helps the site remember information about you and your preferences. "Session" cookies are temporary bits of information that are erased once you exit your web browser window or otherwise turn your computer off. Session cookies are used to improve navigation on web sites and to collect aggregate statistical information. This Web Site uses cookies and/or session cookies.
"Internet tags" (also known as Web Bugs, single-pixel GIFs, clear GIFs, invisible GIFs, and 1 by 1 GIFs) are smaller than cookies and tell the Web Site server information such as the IP address and browser type related to the visitor's computer. We do not use Internet tags at this Web Site.
"Navigational data" ("log files," "server logs," and "clickstream" data) are used for system management, to improve the content of the site, market research purposes, and communicate information to visitors. This Web Site uses navigational data.
If you have joined the Web Site, we may send you, via e-mail or post, information impacting our community that we think you might find useful. If you do not wish to receive these communications, please opt-out by updating your profile preferences or sending an e-mail to webmaster@excessica.com, stating that you would like to be removed from our mailing list.
We do not collect any information from you online other than the personal information described above. This Web Site does not use cookies to collect information about you for any reason. A cookie allows eXcessica to determine that a visit has occurred within our site, as well as which pages were viewed. A cookie is NOT used to identify you and will not collect personal information. Cookies are commonly used on web sites and do not harm your PC. You can decide if and how your computer will accept cookies by configuring your preferences option within your web browser.
3. Ways information about you is used
We use the information you provide us to contact you in response to any requests, complaints, or comments you may have about this Web Site, our products or eXcessica. If you have used our Registration form and have elected to join our mailing list, we may also use the information you have provided to us to contact you in the future regarding eXcessica or our products or our partners.
4. What information about you is shared
eXcessica does not collect or compile personal information for distribution to parties outside of eXcessica. Except as described below, eXcessica does not share any information about you with any parties outside of eXcessica.
We will disclose personal information to comply with valid legal processes such as a search warrant, subpoena, or court order, judicial process or regulatory authorities, to prevent fraudulent transactions, or to protect our rights and property. We will disclose information when we believe in good faith that the law requires it.
eXcessica has policies and procedures to limit employee and consultant access to information to only those employees and consultants with a business reason for accessing such information. eXcessica educates its employees and consultants about the importance of confidentiality and customer privacy. We take appropriate disciplinary measures to enforce employee and consultant responsibilities regarding customer information.
5. Implications of collecting and sharing information about you
If you send us e-mail or use our Register form, we will send you an online acknowledgment that we have received your contact. When you complete our Register form, if you join our mailing list, you will also receive other contact from us regarding our community or other topics we feel may be of interest to you.
You will not receive any contact from third parties outside of eXcessica as a result of providing information to us, other than its officers, directors, or consultants and only for the purpose of conducting official company business.
6. Ways you can control the information collected about you
When you register for a customer account, you have the opportunity to join our mailing list. If at a later time you wish to change your participation in our mailing list, you may opt-out by updating your profile preferences or sending an e-mail to webmaster@excessica.com, stating that you would like to be removed from our mailing list. You will receive confirmation that we have received your communication.
If you would like to update information previously submitted to this Web Site or request to have outdated information removed, please follow the links on the Web Site to update such information.

7. E-mailing eXcessica
This Web Site allows you to send e-mail to eXcessica and certain designated individuals. Information you send us will be considered non-confidential and may be used by eXcessica or its affiliates without restriction. DO NOT SEND INFORMATION THAT YOU CONSIDER CONFIDENTIAL OR PROPRIETARY, INCLUDING BUSINESS PLANS OR IDEAS, INVENTIONS, AND THE LIKE. By sending us your ideas, you agree that we may use such ideas without compensation to you.
8. Security
eXcessica takes reasonable steps to protect your personally identifiable information as you transmit your information from your computer to our site and to protect such information from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. You should keep in mind that no Internet transmission is ever 100 percent secure or error-free. In particular, e-mail sent to or from this Web Site may not be secure, and you should therefore take special care in deciding what information you send to us via e-mail. Moreover, where you use passwords, ID numbers, or other special access features on this Web Site, it is your responsibility to safeguard them.
Additional Privacy Rights and Resources
You may have other privacy protections under state laws, and eXcessica will comply with applicable state laws with regard to our information practices.

eXcessica reserves the right to modify or amend this Privacy Policy at any time and for any reason. Any changes to this Privacy Policy will be preceded by a notice posted to this Privacy Policy at least ten (10) days prior to the effective date of such change. Please check back periodically, and especially before you provide any personally identifiable information. This Privacy Policy was last updated as of the date shown at the bottom of these Conditions of Use.
