Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) describes how this website may collect, use and share your personal information from your Internet enabled device (i.e. your computer, tablet, smartphone or other device) and browsers or apps used to access the Internet when you use this website (www.echioncle.com), when and how the website or we may use that information, how we protect the information, the choices you have regarding your personal information, and how you may opt out of any such collection and use. The purpose of this Policy is to inform you about privacy practices and to ensure that you understand the purposes for which personal data is collected and processed. Please contact us if you have questions about this Privacy Policy.
Please see the Terms and Conditions of Use, which generally address information you intentionally send us using e-mail or any contact form on this website. If you submit your name or contact information to me, we may use it to send you blog posts, information about products, courses, services or law-related activities (such as announcements of new publications, products or services), or about new developments in the law.

Kinds of Personal Information Collected
This Policy relates to your personal data, i.e. data about you from which you can be identified. It does not apply to any data insofar as it is held, processed, disclosed or published in a form which cannot be linked to a living individual, such as anonymized or aggregated data which cannot directly or indirectly be used to identify you or to obtain information about you (“Anonymized and Aggregated Data”). We may generate or extract Anonymised and Aggregated Data out of any databases containing your personal data and may make use of any such Anonymised and Aggregated Data for such purposes as we see fit. The website may collect information about our website users in three ways: directly from the user; from Web server logs; and through cookies. We use the information primarily to provide you with a personalized Internet experience that delivers the information, services, and resources that are most relevant and helpful to you. We do not share any of the information you provide with others, unless we so provide in this Privacy Policy, or when we believe in good faith that the law requires it.
If you have any questions or concerns about the use of your personal data, please contact us.
Site of Data Processing Activities
We operate in and from the United States of America (USA) and our data collection and processing activities take place predominantly in the USA. Accordingly, data collected from users when using the website is collected in the USA. Data is stored and processed through third party service providers which may be located or which may operate in the USA and/or other countries.
How Personal Data is Collected and Used
(1) Information That You Provide Directly or Authorize Someone Else to Give Us. We collect personal information about you, such as your contact details, when voluntarily submitted by you, such as when you choose to complete and submit one of the forms located on our Web site to send a message or subscribe to the blog. This includes but is not limited to a “Contact” form. We may ask you to provide certain information including, but not limited to your name, mailing address, email address, telephone number, and other data. You are only required to provide an e-mail address and a name on the contact form. DO NOT SUBMIT ANY CONFIDENTIAL, PROPRIETARY, PERSONAL OR SENSITIVE INFORMATION (e.g., Social Security number, date of birth, driver license number, or credit card or bank account or other financial information) (collectively, “sensitive information.”) We may ask for attorney identification or registration number in order to comply with Continuing Education reporting or record-keeping obligtatoins. Messages you send and any other data you provide to us are retained to comply with those obligations and to assist in tailoring content to customer interests. If you submit any sensitive information, you do so at your own risk and we will not be liable to you or responsible for consequences of your submission. Information that you provide through the contact form or in an email, comment, or instant message will be used so that we may respond to your inquiry. We may also use information you provide to us to communicate with you in the future. If you do not wish to receive such communications, you may opt out (unsubscribe) as described below.
(2) Information That Is Collected Automatically. When you visit our website, it may track information about your visit and store that information in web server logs, which are records of the activities on the website. The server(s) automatically capture and save the information electronically. To be clear, if you browse through the EchionCLE.com website or download information, servers may automatically collect certain information from you. This information may include:

(b) name of your Internet Service Provider (ISP);

(d) Internet address of the website and IP (Internet Protocol) address from which you linked directly to this website, which may include your unique Internet Protocol address;

Information that is automatically collected is used to analyze usage of the website, manage and improve the website to make it as useful as possible for visitors like you, and to protect the website and its content from inappropriate use. We do not seek to match data collected automatically with data that you provide voluntarily as referred to above and do not seek to track specific users or profile their activities on the website.
(3) Analytics information. Data about traffic and usage trends is collected, measured and analyzed, and third-party analytics tools are used for this. This enables an understanding of, among other things, how the website is being used and ways to improve it. Such third-party analytics tools use cookies and persistent device identifiers to collect and store information including, but not limited to time of visit, pages visited, time spent on each page, IP address, unique device ID, advertising tags and type of operating system used.
(4) Cookies. When you use the website, we or a third party service provider (such as analytics tools) sometimes send one or more cookies (small text files containing a string of alphanumeric characters) to your computer that uniquely identify your browser and enhance your navigation on the site. A cookie may also convey information to us about how you use the site (e.g., the pages you view, the links you click and other actions you take), and allow us or a third-party analytics tool to track your usage of the website. There are at least two different types of cookies: persistent and session cookies. A persistent cookie remains on your hard drive after you close your browser. Persistent cookies may be used by your browser on subsequent use of the website. Persistent cookies can be removed by following your web browser’s directions for blocking or removal of cookies. A session cookie is temporary and disappears after you close your browser. You can reset your web browser to refuse all cookies or to notify you when a cookie is being sent. However, some features of the website might not function properly if cookies are disabled. By visiting this website, you consent to the use of cookies and similar technologies in accordance with the Privacy Policy.

(6) Clear GIFs/Web Beacons. Clear GIFs (also known as web beacons) allow for the tracking of a user’s response to an email or usage of a website in a manner that does not reveal personally identifiable information. We may use clear GIFs or similar technologies to assess responses to emails and usage of the website. For example, clear GIFs may be used to track when emails are opened and which links are clicked by recipients. You can disable certain abilities of clear GIFs to capture information by blocking cookies.
(7) Device Identifiers. When you access or use the website using a mobile device, one or more “device identifiers,” such as a universally unique identifier, may be accessed, collected, monitored and/or remotely stored. Device identifiers are small data files or similar data structures stored on or associated with your device that uniquely identify your device. A device identifier may consist of data stored in connection with the device hardware, operating system or other software, or data sent to the device by us. A device identifier may convey information to me about how you browse and use the website. A device identifier may remain persistently on your device to enhance your navigation on the website. Some features of the website may not function properly if use or availability of device identifiers is impaired or disabled.

Except when a customer or business relationship between us exists, you may opt out of receiving further information from us by contacting us or, if applicable, by using an “Unsubscribe” option included in a communication. We will not sell or give your personally identifying information (name, address, phone number, birth date, Social Security Number, or financial account information) to other parties for their own direct advertising purposes.

Submitting a consumer request
You can submit a verifiable consumer request to know or request for deletion of your personal information by sending an email to admin@echioncle.com or by sending postal mail to Echion, PO Box 46162, Plymouth MN 55446. When you submit a consumer request through one of the methods provided above, we may ask you to provide some information in order to verify your identity and respond to your request. We may ask you to verify information that can be used to link your identity to particular records in our possession, which depends on the nature of your relationship and interaction with us or the website. For example, if your sole interaction with us was as a website visitor, then in order to verify your identify, we will need to ask you to provide your name, email, phone number, IP address, device ID, browser ID, and/or cookie ID.
You can authorize someone else as an Authorized Agent who can submit a consumer request on your behalf. To do so, you must either (a) execute a valid, verifiable, and notarized Power of Attorney or (b) provide other written authorization that we can then verify. When we receive a consumer request submitted on your behalf by an Authorized Agent, that person will be asked to provide written proof that they have your permission to act on your behalf, and we will also contact you and ask you for information to verify your own identity directly with us and not through your Authorized Agent.
An effort will be made to respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to 45 additional days, or 90 days total, from the date we receive your request), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing. We will deliver a written response by mail or electronically, at your option. Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding our receipt of your verifiable consumer request. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.
Unsubscribing
If you receive commercial emails from us, you may Unsubscribe at any time by sending an email to admin@echioncle.com with the word “Unsubscribe” in the subject header and in the body of the message.
