Collection of Information:

For each visitor to the EASC website, EASC ‘ web server automatically recognizes, collects and/or stores information such as the visitor’s IP address/Domain name combination and any referring sites. EASC may use several technologies to accomplish this. Examples of such technologies are cookies and web beacons. When you visit EASC’ websites or advertisements appearing thereon, or use one or more of the EASC website services, or receive emails from EASC we may use an industry-wide technology called “cookies” which stores certain information on your computer and which will allow us to customize your experience to better match your interests and preferences or to simply facilitate your signing in to use the services. Most browsers will allow you to erase cookies from your computer hard drive, block acceptance of cookies, or receive a warning before a cookie is stored. However, if you block or erase cookies, we may not be able to restore any preferences or customization settings you previously specified and our ability to personalize your online experience would be limited. Please refer to your browser instructions or “help” screen to learn more about these functions. EASC may also itself use, or engage third parties to use, Web beacons for researching certain usage and activities on our Website. The information collected by EASC or requested from third parties through these Web beacons is in an aggregate, non-individually identifiable form and is used to find out more about users including demographic information and usage patterns for more accurate reporting and to improve the effectiveness of our marketing. EASC may also itself use, or engage third parties to use, pixel tags or other technology to research or track your usage activities with respect to e-mails from us.

EASC may ask you to provide “personal information”, meaning individually identifiable information such as your e-mail address, name, mailing address, telephone number, social security number, credit card number, or persistent identifier (such as a customer number held in a cookie) which is associated with individually identifiable information, to enable you to participate in contests, on bulletin boards, to fill out a registration, or to order products and services using these sites.
