NOTE;- The following relates not only to eProfitGroup,

Group - and the following is in addition to any statement(s) made
separately on each site.
We are committed to
protecting your privacy. We will only use the information that we collect
about you lawfully. We collect information about you for 2 reasons:
firstly, to process your order and second, to provide you with the best
possible service.
We will not
e-mail you in the future unless you have given us your consent.
We will give
you the chance to refuse any marketing email from us or from another
trader in the future.
The type of
information we will collect about you includes:
your name
address
phone number
email address
credit/debit card
details
We will
never collect sensitive information about you without your explicit
consent.
The personal
information which we hold will be held securely.
We may use
technology to track the patterns of behaviour of visitors to our site.
This can include using a "cookie" which would be stored on your browser.
You can usually modify your browser to prevent this happening. The
information collected in this way can be used to identify you unless you
modify your browser settings.
Use of Cookies
eProfitGroup may use
"cookies" to help you personalize your online experience. A cookie is a
text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web page server. Cookies
cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer.
Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web
server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.
One of the primary
purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time.
For example, if you personalize eProfitGroup's pages, or register with
eProfitGroup sites or services, a cookie helps eProfitGroup to recall
your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the
process of recording your personal information, such as billing
addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to
eProfitGroup, the information you previously provided can be retrieved,
so you can easily use the eProfitGroup features that you customized.
You have the ability
to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept
cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline
cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be
able to fully experience the interactive features of the eProfitGroup
services or Web sites you visit.
A cookie is a piece
of data stored on the user's computer tied to information about the user.
For the session ID
cookie, once users close the browser, the cookie simply terminates.
A persistent cookie
is a small text file stored on the user's hard drive for an extended
period of time.
Persistent cookies
can be removed by following Internet browser help file directions.
You can set your
browser to notify you to either accept or deny the cookie according to
the following information.

Use of Web Beacons
eProfitGroup Web
pages may contain electronic images known as Web beacons - sometimes
called single-pixel gifs - that allow eProfitGroup to count users who
have visited those pages and to deliver co-branded services. eProfitGroup
may include web beacons in promotional e-mail messages or eProfitGroup
Newsletters in order to count how many messages have been opened and
acted upon. Web beacons are not used to access your personal information
on the eProfitGroup network of sites and services; they are a technique
we use to compile aggregated statistics about eProfitGroup Web site
usage.
Web beacons collect
only a limited set of information including a cookie number, time and
date of a page view, and a description of the page on which the Web
beacon resides. eProfitGroup Web pages may also contain Web beacons
placed there by our advertising partners to help determine the
effectiveness of our Internet advertising campaigns.
Sharing Information

effort to preserve user privacy, we may need to disclose personal
information when required by law wherein we have a good-faith belief that
such action is necessary to comply with a current judicial proceeding, a
court order or legal process served on our Web site.

quality of the service, and to provide general statistics regarding use
of eProfitGroup.
eProfitGroup keeps
track of the pages our customers visit within eProfitGroup, in order to
determine what eProfitGroup sites and services are the most popular. This
data is also used by eProfitGroup to deliver customized content and
advertising to customers whose behavior indicates that they are
interested in a particular subject area.
eProfitGroup
encourages you to review the privacy statements of Web sites you choose
to link to from eProfitGroup so that you can understand how those Web
sites collect, use and share your information. eProfitGroup is not
responsible for the privacy statements or other content on Web sites
outside of the eProfitGroup and eProfitGroup family of Web sites.
Use of your Personal
Information
eProfitGroup and its
operational service partners collect and use your personal information to
operate eProfitGroup and deliver the services you have requested.
eProfitGroup also uses your personal information to inform you of other
products or services available from eProfitGroup and its affiliates.
eProfitGroup may also contact you via surveys to conduct research about
your opinion of current services or of potential new services that may be
offered.
eProfitGroup does not
sell, rent or lease its customer lists to third parties. eProfitGroup
may, from time to time, contact you on behalf of external business
partners about a particular offering that may be of interest to you. In
those cases, your personal information (e-mail, name, address, telephone
number) is not transferred to the third party.
We occasionally hire
other companies to provide limited services on our behalf, such as
handling the processing and delivery of mailings, providing customer
support, processing transactions, or performing statistical analysis of
our services. We will only provide those companies the personal
information they need to deliver the service. They are required to
maintain the confidentiality of your information and are prohibited from
using that information for any other purpose.
eProfitGroup does not
use or disclose sensitive personal information, such as race, religion,
or political affiliations, without your explicit consent.
eProfitGroup may
access and/or disclose your personal information if required to do so by
law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a)
conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on
eProfitGroup or the site; (b) protect and defend the rights or property
of eProfitGroup, including its eProfitGroup family of Web sites; or (c)
act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users
of eProfitGroup, its web sites, or the public.
Personal information
collected on this site may be stored and processed in any other country
in which eProfitGroup or its affiliates, subsidiaries or agents maintain

information outside of your country.
You may also stop the
delivery of future promotional e-mail from eProfitGroup by following the
specific instructions in the e-mail you receive. The instructions explain
how to stop receiving such e-mails.
There are some
eProfitGroup services that send out periodic e-mails informing you of
technical service issues, product surveys, new feature announcements and
news about eProfitGroup products and services. You will not be able to
unsubscribe to these mailings, as they are considered a part of the
service you have chosen.
Security of your
Personal Information
eProfitGroup is
committed to protecting the security of your personal information. We use
a variety of security technologies and procedures to help protect your
personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. For
example, we store the personal information you provide on computer
systems with limited access, that are located in controlled facilities.
When we transmit highly confidential information (such as a credit card
number) over the Internet, we protect it through the use of encryption,
such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.
Use of Third Party Ad
Networks
The majority of the
online banner advertisements you see on eProfitGroup Web pages are
displayed by eProfitGroup.
In addition,
eProfitGroup may allow other companies, called third-party ad servers or
ad networks, to display advertisements on eProfitGroup Web pages. Some of
these ad networks may place a persistent cookie on your computer. Doing
this allows the ad network to recognize your computer each time they send
you an online advertisement. In this way, ad networks may compile
information about where you, or others who are using your computer, saw
their advertisements and determine which ads are clicked on. This
information allows an ad network to deliver targeted advertisements that
they believe will be of most interest to you. eProfitGroup does not have
access to or control of the cookies that may be placed by the third-party
ad servers or ad networks.
Enforcement of this
Statement of Privacy
If you have questions
regarding this statement, you should first contact eProfitGroup via
e-mail.

Statement

occasionally update this Statement of Privacy to reflect company and
customer feedback. When eProfitGroup posts changes to this Statement, you
will see the word "updated" next to the Privacy Statement link on the
front page of eProfitGroup. If there are material changes to this
Statement or in how eProfitGroup will use your personal information,
eProfitGroup will prominently post such changes prior to implementing the
change. eProfitGroup encourages you to periodically review this Statement
to be informed of how eProfitGroup is protecting your information.
