Privacy Policy:
Ellements Group ("Lisa Elle") operates ellementsgroup.com and may operate other websites. It is Ellements Group's policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our websites.
Website Visitors
Like most website operators, Lisa Elle collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Ellements Group's purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Ellements Group's visitors use its website. From time to time, Lisa Elle may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
Lisa Elle also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on ellementsgroup.com blogs/sites. Lisa Elle only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below, except that commenter IP addresses and email addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog/site where the comment was left.
Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information
Certain visitors to Ellements Group's websites choose to interact with Lisa Elle in ways that require Lisa Elle to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Lisa Elle gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up at ellementsgroup.com to provide a username and email address. Those who engage in transactions with Lisa Elle are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required to process those transactions. In each case, Lisa Elle collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor's interaction with Lisa Elle. Lisa Elle does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.
Aggregated Statistics
Lisa Elle may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. Lisa Elle may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, Lisa Elle does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.
Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information
Lisa Elle discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on Ellements Group's behalf or to provide services available at Ellements Group's websites, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using Ellements Group's websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. Lisa Elle will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, Lisa Elle discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when Lisa Elle believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Lisa Elle, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of an Lisa Elle website and have supplied your email address, Lisa Elle may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what's going on with Lisa Elle and our products. If you send us a request (for example via email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. Lisa Elle takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
