  • Cookies. When you use or visit the Service, our servers may send a cookie to your computer. Cookies are small pieces of data that a website asks your browser to store on your computer or mobile device. A cookie contains an identifier (a string of letters and numbers) that is sent by a web server to a web browser and is stored by the browser. The identifier is then sent back to the server each time the browser requests a page from the server. Cookies do not typically contain information that individually identifies you, but Personal Information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies. We use cookies to make interactions with the Service easy and meaningful. We may use cookies that are session-based and persistent. Session cookies exist only during one session and disappear from your computer when you close your browser software or turn off your computer.

  • To respond to any questions, complaints, or claims made by our or on your behalf.

We will not retain your Personal Information for longer than necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy.

8. Your Rights.

8.1 Rights Relating to Personal Information.

If you have an account on the Service, we provide access to—and the ability to edit or delete—certain categories of Personal Information through your account on each of our supported domains. We also permit you to:

  • Delete all content browsing information and opt-out of further participation in data associated with the current device you use to use or browse the Service; and
  • Delete all information related to email/newsletter subscriptions. To exercise this right, please email privacy@ere-sri.com.
  • Subject to Applicable Law, if you would like to access, amend, correct, delete, export (e.g. data portability), object to the processing of Personal Information collected in and through the Service, or withdraw your consent (as applicable), you may submit a request to Company’s Privacy Officer either by email at privacy@ere-sri.com or by mail at 2840 W Orange Ave, Apopka, FL 32703, United States of America, or submit a request to whichever of our specific domains you have made use of. Because our internal systems only make use of first-party cookies and cannot associate user data between the domains we control, you must submit any such request to whichever domain you have used. We will promptly review all such requests in accordance with Applicable Law. Depending on where you live, you may have a right to lodge a complaint with a regulatory agency if you believe that we have violated any of the rights concerning Personal Information about you, though we encourage you to first reach out to us via email at privacy@ere-sri.com so we have an opportunity to address your concerns directly before you do so.
8.2 Email Notifications and Opt Out.

We maintain a strict "no-spam" policy. Unless you requested otherwise in your account settings at the time of your initial registration or specifically opt out as provided herein, by accepting this Privacy Policy, you expressly agree that we may use your information to contact you by email in order to deliver you information that is relevant to your use of the Service such as administrative notices, product/service enhancements or "newsletters", marketing and promotional information related to the Service and the Goods, shopping cart notifications, or that, in some cases, is targeted to your interests, such as information about service/functionalities offerings that we believe you may be interested in learning more about. You may choose to stop receiving these email communications from us by following the instructions included in such communications or by contacting us at privacy@ere-sri.com. If a third-party vendor provides such newsletters, you may unsubscribe in accordance with the instructions provided in such newsletters or by such vendor.

If you are having problems unsubscribing, please contact us at privacy@ere-sri.com by forwarding the newsletter, if applicable, to privacy@ere-sri.com and including in the Subject line the word "Unsubscribe," and you will be removed within seven (7) business days. Please note that we will not process any unsubscribe requests submitted as direct replies to any newsletter.

9. Data Security.

The security of Personal Information is important to us. We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the Personal Information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. For example, we have implemented an information security program that contains administrative, technical and physical controls that are designed to reasonably safeguard Personal Information from unlawful use, unauthorized access, or disclosure. However, no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect Personal Information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

10. Transfers of Personal Information From the European Union (EU) or European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom (UK), or Switzerland to the United States of America.

In order to communicate with you or provide the Service, the information (including Personal Information) that we collect from you may be transferred to, stored, used, and processed by Company in the United States of America or one of our service providers based inside or outside of the United States of America. Such entities may be engaged in, among other things, preparing and sending notifications and the provision of support services.

If you are visiting from the European Union or the broader European Economic Area or other regions with laws governing information collection and use that may differ from those of the United States of America or any one or more of its individual States, please note that you are transferring your Personal Information to the United States of America. The laws of some countries may not provide the same levels of protection of Personal Information as your home country, particularly if you are resident in the European Union or the broader European Economic Area. By submitting information, you agree to the collection, transfer, storage, use, and processing of information about you for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. When you provide Personal Information to us or our service providers or business partners, you consent to the processing of your information in the United States of America as the Service is offered from the United States of America. We will take reasonable steps to ensure that information about you is treated securely in accordance with this Privacy Policy, and that all information you provide to us is stored on our secure servers or those of our service providers and business partners.

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND ITS INDIVIDUAL STATES TREAT YOUR INFORMATION IN A MANNER THAT MAY BE SUBSTANTIALLY DIFFERENT FROM, AND LESS PROTECTIVE THAN, THE TREATMENT REQUIRED UNDER THE LAWS OF OTHER COUNTRIES AND JURISDICTIONS. IF YOU DO NOT WANT YOUR INFORMATION TRANSFERRED TO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, YOU SHOULD NOT SHARE YOUR INFORMATION WITH US, OR MAKE USE OF THE SERVICE.

TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY THE LAW OF THE COUNTRY IN WHICH YOU ARE LOCATED, YOU EXPRESSLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT YOU MAY HAVE TO REQUIRE US TO TREAT YOUR IDENTIFYING INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF ANY COUNTRY OR JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. HOWEVER, THE FOREGOING WAIVER MAY NOT BE LEGALLY BINDING IN SOME COUNTRIES, SUCH AS THE MEMBER STATES OF THE EUROPEAN UNION OR THE BROADER EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AREA. TO THE EXTENT IT IS NOT LEGALLY BINDING IN THE COUNTRY IN WHICH YOU ARE LOCATED, THIS FOREGOING WAIVER DOES NOT APPLY TO YOU.

11. How We Respond to Do Not Track Signals.

As explained above in Section 4.4, the technologies used through the Service may be used to track Service users’ activity through the Service. How browsers communicate user preferences related to the Do Not Track signal is not yet uniform, so a standard technological response has not yet been developed. For this reason, the Service may not respond to Do Not Track signals at this time.
