Privacy Policy

It is Elistic's policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our website.

Website Visitors

Like most website operators, Elistic collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Elistic's purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Elistic's visitors use its website. From time to time, Elistic may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

Elistic also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. Elistic does not use such information to identify its visitors, however, and does not disclose such information, other than under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information, as described below.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to Elistic's website choose to interact with Elistic in ways that require Elistic to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Elistic gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up for an account at Elistic.com to provide a username and email address. In each case, Elistic collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor's interaction with Elistic. Elistic does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.

Aggregated Statistics

Elistic may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its website. For example, Elistic may accumulate statistics about the most popular and highly-rated links. Elistic may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, Elistic does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.

Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information

Elistic discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on Elistic's behalf or to provide services available at Elistic's websites, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using Elistic's website, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. Elistic will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, Elistic discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only when required to do so by law, or when Elistic believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Elistic, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of Elistic and have supplied your email address, Elistic may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what's going on with Elistic and our products. We intend to provide this information primarily through the elistic website, so we expect to keep this type of email to a minimum. If you send us a request (for example via a support email), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. Elistic takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.

Cookies

A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor's computer, and that the visitor's browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns. Elistic uses cookies to help Elistic identify and track visitors, their usage of Elistic website, and their website access preferences. Elistic visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using Elistic's websites, with the drawback that certain features of Elistic's websites may not function properly without the aid of cookies.

Privacy Policy Changes

Although most changes are likely to be minor, Elistic may change its Privacy Policy from time to time, and in Elistic's sole discretion. Elistic encourages visitors to frequently check this page for any changes to its Privacy Policy. Your continued use of this site after any change in this Privacy Policy will constitute your acceptance of such change.
