This Privacy Policy tells you how we collect personal and other information from you and how we use it. Please take the time to read this Privacy Policy.
 

 

Children's Privacy

Anyone providing personally identifying information via the ECCO website warrants and promises that they are 15 years of age or older. ECCO does not intend to collect personally identifying information from anyone under the age of 15. If you are under the age of 15 we ask that you do not use this register for any of ECCO’s website services.

ECCO will not knowingly collect any information from any individual under the age of 15 without permission from his/her parents or legal guardian.
 
Protecting the privacy of the very young is especially important. For that reason, we never collect or maintain information at our website from those we know are under 15, and no part of our website is structured to attract anyone under 15.

 

Type and Use of Personal Information

To utilize ECCO’s services on the website, you must provide information such as your first name, last name, email address, postal address and phone number. We collect only the information that you voluntarily provide us when you register on our website.
 
We receive and store any information that you enter on any registration page. Your participation is completely voluntary and you therefore have a choice whether or not to disclose this information. If some information is required and some is optional, we will identify the required information.
 
Your personally identifiable information will not be used for any other reason than that which is stated on the page you used to register.

 

Third Parties

ECCO will not sell, distribute, publish or otherwise disclose your personally identifying information without your express permission to anyone outside the ECCO Group.
 
Your information will not be shared with any third party except (i) as authorized by you in accordance with this privacy policy to deliver services you request, and (ii) if compelled to do so by proper judicial or governmental authorities.
 
From time to time, we may employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf (e.g., outsourced e-mail delivery companies). They will have access to your personally identifying information in order to perform their functions, but may not use the information for any other purposes. In such cases, we will have a nondisclosure agreement with the service provider to ensure your contact information is protected and is not misused.
 
Personal data shall not be transferred to another entity, country or territory, unless reasonable and appropriate steps have been taken to maintain the required level of data protection.
