Privacy Policy

The following describes the Privacy Policy for our EASYDIYENERGY.COM website.

Your Privacy
Your privacy is important to us at EasyDIYEnergy.com.  To better protect your privacy we

provide this notice explaining our online information practices and the choices you can

make about the way your information is collected and used.  You agree to agree to these

policies by virtue of using our website in a way that leads to you providing us with

personal information.

 

State Law & Accompanying Rights
Please understand that you may have additional rights originating from State laws based on

where you live.  These State-based rights may augment, strengthen, or otherwise somehow

compliment any privacy rights you have inherently or under Federal law.  Our policy is to

comply fully with the privacy policies of every jurisdiction in which we operate.  

Accordingly, you are free to use our Contact information to reach us at any time to assert

any State rights.

 

Our Commitment To Children’s Privacy
Protecting the privacy of the very young is especially important. For that reason, our

website will never collect or maintain information at our website from those we actually

know are under 18, and no part of our website is structured to attract anyone under 18.

Under our Terms of Service and Conditions of Use, children under 18 are not allowed to use

our website and access our services.  It is not our intention to offer products or services

to minors.

 

Collection of Personal Information
When visiting our website, the IP address used to access our website may be logged along

with the dates and times of access. This information is purely used to analyze trends,

administer our website, track users movement, and gather broad demographic information for

internal use such as statistical assessments and website improvement. Most importantly, any

recorded IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information.

 

Other information may be collected as well by EasyDIYEnergy.com, which is rather typical of

most websites.  For instance, the source that referred you to our website is generally

known.  Likewise, your duration on our website, and your destination when you leave our

website can also be tracked.  Other common data collected includes the type of operating

system the computer you are using to access our website has.  Similarly, the type of web

browser is often noted.  Again, this is common data collection, and helps ultimately

produce a better end-user experience.

 

Cookies are another common internet practice.  Cookies are a key means of improving user

experience by allows us to customize your use of our website.  Simple information is

transferred to your computer to allow the content and experience at EASYDIYENERGY.COM to

reflect your actions, preferences, and so on.  You should simply make the assumption our

website uses cookies, and note that you are free to make adjustments in your web browser to

disable these or otherwise receive notification of cookies so you can take whatever desired

action you so choose.  Please understand that refusing cookies may cripple some of our

website features and render some aspects useless to you.

 

At times, you will be fully aware of information received, as you are the direct source

providing it.  For instance, you may comment on a blog post, reply to an email (whether

broadcast message or autoresponder), provide an email address, complete a survey, requests

SMS, or otherwise.  Likewise, purchases necessarily involve collecting certain information,

such as credit card information, Paypal addresses, your physical address for billing and/or

shipping, phone number, and so on.  Refusing to provide some of this information may lead

to us being unable to provide you with the products or services you’ve requested.

 

A prime example of limited access to our website is where some EASYDIYENERGY.COM content

may be protected by a username and password.  Whether a username and password is generated

by our website, or created by you, these will almost always be connected with some other

information related to or connected with you.  This is true since much content that is

protected on the internet is subscription based, often paid for.  Thus, the username and

password must necessarily be tied to your other account data.  Usernames and passwords, by

their very nature, should be kept private.  

 

Handling of Personal Information
Note that any personal information you provide to others apart from us or our vendors is

wholly optional.  As an example, you might disclose something in a blog post comment.  That

“private” information is now “public,” and we have no control over that.  In like fashion,

you sharing information with any other third party not functioning as a service provider to

us puts that information beyond our control and becomes subject to the policy that party

has in place.

 

Our primary intention for collecting personal and private information from you is simply to

conduct our business.  We can use this internally to better serve you.  Accordingly, we see

no reason to share your personal information to other parties and outside interests unless

you have authorized us to do so.  Of course, there are instances where your information is

stored with third party service providers, such as email service providers, as they provide

services that are industry-leading in quality and security and are far more beneficial to

our end user than attempting such services “in-house.”  However, you are never required to

deal with any such third party directly, they are limited in how they use your information,

and they cannot sell or transfer it to others in any way.

 

However, of course, your information does comprise part of an overall whole.  This

aggregate of information, by contrast, may be used to understand our overall user base.  

Further, we may share this information about our website visitors as a whole, not

individually, with third parties for various purposes, in our sole discretion.

While we are staunch privacy advocates at EasyDIYEnergy.com, there are times when even we

may be forced to abandon these ideals.  Just as major search engines face ongoing

compulsion to provide data against their will, so too may the same occur with our

EASYDIYENERGY.COM website.  Illegal activity or other serious acts or allegations could

create legal liability for our website.  In those cases, we reserve the right to share your

information, or else may simply be compelled to do so by law.  On the other hand, there may

be times when we would need to share your private information in order to protect our own

interests.  For instance, in cases of suspected or alleged copyright infringement or other

intellectual property violations, it may be necessary to share personal information.
