This Privacy Policy describes the type of information ELP collects from this Site and how that information may be used. This Privacy Policy, together with our Terms of Use, as may be modified from time to time, govern your use of this Site. 

Information Collection

You are not required to provide information such as your name, address, email address, telephone number, or other information that might reasonably be used to identify you personally (“Personal Information”) to make general use of this Site. ELP will only collect Personal Information when it is provided to us in an email, on a registration form, in an online survey, or in other similar transmissions. 

To help us monitor Site usage patterns and to help us improve this Site, we may use certain technologies, including cookies, to gather information that does not reveal your identity (“Generic Information”), such as information about the Internet Protocol address assigned to your computer, the number and frequency of visitors, and the Web pages visited. You can choose not to accept the cookie by adjusting your Internet browser settings but, if you choose to do so, certain parts of this Site may not function properly. 

Use of Information 

We will use Personal Information we collect only to send you news and information about ELP, ELP events, and ELP publications. To opt out of receiving future mailings, see the Opt Out section below. 

We do not share Personal Information we collect with third parties for their marketing purposes. If an event for which you register through this Site is co-sponsored, that co-sponsor’s treatment of your information will be governed by its own privacy policy, for which we are not responsible. If we use third parties to provide specific services to you, those third parties may be allowed to use your Personal Information to provide such services. We will only intentionally disclose your Personal Information to other third parties if we believe we are compelled to do so for legal or regulatory purposes, and you hereby agree to such disclosure. 

ELP may share Generic Information we collect with our affiliates, contractors and other third parties. 

Opt Out 

You may choose to opt out of receiving e-mail messages with news and information about ELP and ELP publications by sending us an e-mail from the e-mail address at which you are receiving the messages, requesting that your email address be removed. 

Security 

Unfortunately, data transmission over the Internet cannot be guaranteed to be secure nor is any security system completely secure. ELP does not guarantee the security of any information you transmit to us or provide to us online. We request that you do not send, and ELP will not be liable for your sending sensitive or confidential information electronically. 

Children Under 13 

This Site is not directed at children 13 years of age or younger. ELP will not intentionally collect information about any user under the age of 13.
