Privacy Policy

Last updated: December 10, 2024

Essembi is committed to maintaining the security and privacy of your personal information collected through this website, https://essembi.com/ (the “Website”). This Privacy Policy discloses Essembi’s information collection and dissemination practices in connection with the Website and applies solely to the information that we collect through those means.

The Website

Acceptance of Privacy Policy

By using the Website, you signify your acceptance of this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy, please do not use this Website. Your continued use of the Website following the posting of changes to these terms will mean that you accept those changes.

Information We Collect and How We Use It

Personal Information Provided by You

Except as described in this Privacy Policy, Essembi only collects your personal information through this Website when you choose to provide such information. Personal information can include your name, date of birth, and zip code. Essembi uses your personal Information to address your requests for information, products, or services. Essembi will not sell, rent, license, or trade your personal Information with third parties for their own direct marketing use unless we receive your express consent to do so. Unless you give us permission to do so, Essembi will not disclose your personal Information other than as specified in this Privacy Policy.

Web Server Logs and IP Addresses

An Internet Protocol (“IP”) address is a number that automatically identifies the computer/device you have used to access the Internet. The IP address enables our server to send you the web pages that you want to visit, and it may disclose the server owned by your Internet Service Provider. This information is collected automatically from your browser and device. Essembi may use IP addresses to conduct website analyses and performance reviews and to administer the Website.

Cookies and Web Beacons

Cookies are pieces of information that a website transfers to a user’s computer for purposes of storing information about a user’s preferences. This information is collected automatically from your browser and device. Cookies in and of themselves do not personally identify users, although they do identify a user’s computer. Many websites use cookies as a standard practice to provide useful features when a user visits the website, and most web browsers are set up to accept cookies. Essembi uses cookies to improve your online experience when visiting the Website. You can set your browser to refuse cookies, but some portions of the Website may not work properly if you refuse cookies. Some of the Website’s web pages may use web beacons in conjunction with cookies to compile aggregate statistics about website usage. A web beacon is an electronic image (also referred to as an “action tag,” “single-pixel,” or “clear GIF”) that is commonly used to track the traffic patterns of users from one web page to another in order to maximize web traffic flow and to otherwise analyze the effectiveness of websites. Some web beacons may be unusable if you elect to reject their associated cookies.

Aggregated Data

Essembi collects aggregate queries for internal reporting and also counts, tracks, and aggregates the visitor’s activity into Essembi’s analysis of general traffic flow at the Website. To these ends, Essembi may merge information about you into aggregated group data. In some cases, Essembi may remove personal identifiers from the personal Information and maintain it in aggregate form that may later be combined with other information to generate anonymous, aggregated statistical information. Such anonymous, group data may be shared on an aggregated basis with Essembi’s affiliates, business partners, service providers, and/or vendors. If it does so, this aggregated information would not be personal information, and would not disclose your individual identity.

Recipients of Personal Information

Disclosures to Service Providers, Third Parties Assisting In Our Operations

Essembi may disclose your personal Information under contractual agreements with other companies that work with, or on behalf of, Essembi to provide products and services and maintain confidentiality. These companies, which may include members of Essembi’s corporate family, may use your personal Information to assist Essembi in its operations. However, these companies do not have any independent right to disclose this information.

Disclosures Under Special Circumstances

We may provide information about you to respond to subpoenas, court orders, legal process, or governmental regulations, or to establish or exercise our legal rights or defend against legal claims. We believe it is necessary to disclose information in order to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, or as otherwise required by law.

Business Transfers

We may disclose your personal Information to other business entities, in connection with the sale, assignment, merger, or other transfer of all or a portion of Essembi’s business to such business entity. We will require any such successor business entity to honor the terms of this Privacy Policy.

Referrals/Links

The Website may contain links to third party websites that may offer information of interest. This Privacy Policy does not apply to those websites, and Essembi recommends reviewing those websites’ privacy policies individually. Essembi assumes no responsibility for any material outside of the Website, including any website that may be accessed through a link from the Website.

Security

Essembi understands that storing our data in a secure manner is essential. Essembi stores personal Information and other data using industry standard physical, technical, and administrative safeguards to secure data against foreseeable risks, such as unauthorized use, access, disclosure, destruction, or modification. Please note, however, that while Essembi has endeavored to create a secure and reliable website for users, the confidentiality of any communication or material transmitted to or from the Website or via e-mail cannot be guaranteed.

Children’s Privacy Protection

Essembi understands the importance of protecting children’s privacy in the interactive online world. The Website is not designed for, or intentionally targeted at, children 18 years of age or younger. It is not our policy to intentionally collect or maintain information about anyone under the age of 18. No one under the age of 18 should submit any personal Information to Essembi and/or the Website.

Response to “Do Not Track” Signals

Some Internet browsers include the ability to transmit “Do Not Track” signals. Since uniform standards for “Do Not Track” signals have not yet been adopted, Essembi does not process or respond to “Do Not Track” signals.
