OUR POLICY
Thank you for visiting The ECPI on-line's website and viewing this privacy policy. We use this policy to tell you about the types of information we collect from you when you visit our sites or use authorized features that link to this policy. More specifically, this policy tells you: the types of information we collect and how we collect it; the ways in which we use, share and protect that information; the choices you have in controlling the collection of your information; and your ability to access and update your information. By using our sites or authorized features , you are letting us know that you agree with this privacy policy. Although the sites and authorized features and apps contain links to other sites and services, you should be aware that we are not responsible for the privacy practices of those, or any other, sites and services. If you have questions about how those sites and services collect and use data, you should carefully read their privacy policies. This privacy policy was amended on October 1, 2019, and is effective as of that date.
This privacy policy is a legal document, so clarity is important.At the same time, if we used the kinds of defined terms that appear in most contracts, this policy would be much harder to read. So instead of doing that, we’ll use this section to let you know about some words that have special meanings whenever you see them in this policy. Let’s start with the word “policy” itself: when we reference “this policy” and “our policy”, we mean the ECPI online Privacy Policy you are reading now.Wherever we say “{ECPI ” or “we”, “us” or “our”, we mean the ECPI Online Corporation .Not surprisingly, we use the words “you” and “your” to mean you, the reader, and other visitors to our sites and those accessing our authorized features who are, in all cases, over the age of 18.This age requirement is discussed in more detail later in this policy. Whenever we reference “this site”, “our site” or “the site”, we mean the ECPI website found at ECPI Online and all related sites optimized for mobile. we’ve created and distributed to let our fans and followers view our site or otherwise interact with our content. When we use the term “services”, we mean the sites and authorized features and apps collectively.Last, but definitely not least, when we refer to “personal information”, we mean information that can be used to identify you or that can be easily linked to you. So, a fairly comprehensive list of “personal information” would include such things as your name, address, telephone number, fax number, email address, social security number, and date of birth.In contrast, a domain name or an internet protocol address or type of browser used to access the site is not considered personal information.
We’re a Bit Different: Records Retention and the Freedom of Information Act Our services are not like others you may be used to accessing. We say that because we are what is known as a “quasi-public” agency. In other words, we are, in certain ways, more like a governmental agency than a private company. One of the ways we’re more like the government is that we retain the information collected through our services in accordance with the records retention and disposition requirements of law. This policy is intended to provide you with the information you need to make an informed choice about your use of the services as well as to make a decision about whether to share personal information with us through the services. You should consider the implications of FOIA as you make that decision. You should also be aware that, although we consider the information you provide to us to be trade secret information, we will disclose personal information when compelled to do so by legal obligations other than FOIA, such as if we receive a valid subpoena or court order. We do not sell, rent or trade personal information with third parties.
We may use voluntarily-provided personal information (such as email addresses, the content of email and text messages, and phone numbers) to communicate directly with you on a one-to-one basis; to verify information, such as age eligibility; to customize our promotional and giveaway pages with more relevant news and information; for our internal marketing and product development purposes; and for any other lawful purpose. We do not sell, rent or trade personal information with third parties. We consider the information you provide to us to be trade secret information. If you don’t want us to collect your personal information, don’t provide it! This means you shouldn’t participate in the activities offered through our services that request or require it. Participation is strictly your choice.Not participating may limit your ability to take full advantage of the services, but it will not affect your ability to access important lottery information. Note that some authorized features and apps may allow users to post or upload messages, comments, screen names, computer files and other materials. If you choose to make personally identifiable information public through these means, we will consider that information to be in the public domain and will not limit its disclosure in the manner described by this policy.
A Choice you can make: Opt Out If we are using personal information you provided to send you materials, such as newsletters, promotions and program announcements, via text or email, and you decide you don’t want to receive such materials, you may opt out by sending an email to us with your name, email address, and/or mobile phone number (as applicable) to (CPPI ). When we receive your request, we will take reasonable steps to remove your name from our distribution lists. This information remains part of our records, and may be available under FOIA even after you opt out. Please understand that communications may not stop immediately. Additionally, if you continue to separately submit forms to us or take surveys after you opt out, you will be voluntarily submitting your personal information through those separate means. Things Happen: We do what we can to ensure Information Security We will take all reasonable security precautions to protect your personal information provided through our services.
Due to the inherently open and somewhat risky nature of the Internet, however, we cannot guarantee that your information, whether during transmission or while stored on our systems or otherwise in our care, will be free from unauthorized access or that loss, misuse, destruction or alteration will not occur. We disclaim any liability for any theft or loss of, unauthorized access or damage to, or interception of any data or communications. You should also note that third party companies that help us operate and maintain both our services and our corporate technology environment (for example, a service provider that sends e-mails on our behalf) will have incidental access to your information, including your personal information, as part of the work they perform, and we cannot guarantee or be responsible for their practices. Changes to this Privacy Policy We reserve the right to change or update this policy from time to time. Please check this policy periodically for such changes because all information collected is subject to the policy in place at that time you provide it. Typically, we will indicate the effective/amendment date at the beginning of this policy. If we feel it is appropriate, or if the law requires, we’ll also provide a summary of changes we’ve made near the end of the new policy.
