Privacy Policy

The Internet is an amazing tool. With only a few mouse-clicks, you can follow the news, look up facts, buy goods and services, and communicate with others around the world. It's important to us to help our customers retain their privacy when they take advantage of all the Internet has to offer.

To protect your privacy, we follow five principles in accordance with worldwide practices for protecting customer privacy and data.

PRINCIPLE 1 - NOTICE
We will ask you when we need information that personally identifies you or allows us to contact you (Personal Information). Generally this information is requested when you are asked to register before downloading free items, entering a contest, ordering e-mail newsletters or joining a limited-access premium site. We use your Personal Information for four primary purposes:

To make the site easier for you to use by not having to enter information more than once.
To help you quickly find services or information.
To help us create content most relevant to you.
To alert you to special offers, updated information and other new services.
We will not knowingly sell, rent, trade or distribute any of your personal information.

PRINCIPLE 2 - CONSENT
If you choose not to register or provide personal information, you can still use most of the services our site offers. But you will not be able to access areas that require registration.

If you decide to register, you will be able to select the information you want to receive from us by subscribing to various services. If you do not want us to communicate with you about other offers regarding programs, events, or services by e-mail, postal mail, or telephone, you may remove your name from our lists at any time by sending an email to Webmaster@etr.org.

PRINCIPLE 3 - ACCESS
We will provide you with the means to ensure that your personal information is correct and current. You may review and update this information at any time. You can:

View and edit personal information you have already given us.
Update your preferences regarding receipt of marketing or other information.
Subscribe or cancel subscriptions to electronic newsletters about our services and products by following the indicated link at the end of every newsletter.

PRINCIPLE 4 - SECURITY
We strive to protect the security of your personal information and honor your choices for its intended use. We have systems in place to protect your data from loss, misuse, unauthorized assess or disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Please be advised, however, that no data transmission over the Internet is 100% secure. ETR is committed to protecting users' Personal Information, but cannot guarantee or warrant the security of this information when it is transmitted over the Internet to or through the ETR Web site. Transmission of such information is therefore at the risk of the user.

PRINCIPLE 5 - ENFORCEMENT
If for some reason you believe we have not adhered to these principles, please notify us by e-mail, and we will do our best to determine and correct the problem promptly. Be certain the words Privacy Policy are in the Subject line.
