1.    Information We Collect

Personally Identifiable Information

Personally Identifiable Information (“PII”) is any information that can be used to identify you — such as your first and last name, your email address, your physical address, or phone number.

We collect whatever personal data about you that you choose to give us, such as contact email addresses and profile information. If you give us an email address, we may send you informational or promotional messages periodically.  We will try to ensure they are helpful, engaging and interesting but of course you may opt out at any time using the unsubscribe information contained in the email.

Derivative Data 

(non-personally identifiable information)

EEA may, from time to time, automatically collect aggregate information about our visitors. Some of this information may be collected automatically by the platform on which our site is hosted.  We may, as a result, end up providing this visitor information to our advertisers, sponsors, business and promotional partners and affiliates. This aggregate information includes, but is not limited to, 1/ IP addresses connecting to our site, 2/ how many persons visited a particular page or activity, 3/ dates and times of image uploads, 4/ device characteristics, 5/ operating system, 6/ browser type and version, 7/ type of connection, 8/ page and image viewing statistics, and 9/ incoming and outgoing links.  

As with most websites, log files are used to store this information. None of this automatically-collected technical information is associated with any identified person at the time it is collected.  However, it could be associated with you under at least two circumstances:

First, if you elect to provide us with personal data about you as described above.  In this case the technical information we collect that would otherwise be anonymous could instead be logged as having come from you.

Second, if we are required by law to disclose our server logs as a result of a subpoena or other legal process, some third party such as your internet provider could match our anonymous technical information with you, in that case likely using information beyond what is retrieved from on our servers.

Financial Data

Financial information includes data related to your payment method (for example: credit card number, card type, expiration date) that we may collect when you purchase, order, return, exchange, or request information about our services from the site. We endeavor to store only very limited, if any, of the financial information collected. Otherwise, all financial information is stored by our payment processor(s) [variously, Stripe, Amazon Payments, Authorize.Net, Google Checkout, PayPal, or other third-party payment companies — and you are encouraged to review their privacy policies and contact them directly with any questions.]

Cookies

EEA may use cookies, pixel tags, web beacons, web server logs, or other anonymous tracking information to improve our server's interaction with your computer.  In addition, we may partner with third party sites or advertisers who may (themselves or through their partners) place or recognize a unique cookie on your browser. These cookies enable more customized content, services or advertisements to be provided to you. To activate these cookies, we may pass an encrypted or ‘hashed' (non-human readable) identifier corresponding to your address to a Web advertising partner, who may in turn place a cookie on your computer. No personally identifiable information is on, or connected to, these cookies. Although our servers may not respond to "do-not-track" requests, you may block these cookies in other ways such as by searching for “[your own browser] + disable cookies” through an online search engine.
