This Online Privacy Statement covers the collection and
use of data on the Enhanced Technology Solutions
Web site(s) in the United States.
The information we collect on our Site generally falls
into the following two categories: Personally Identifiable
Information and Non-Personally Identifiable Information.
Personally Identifiable Information: This refers
to information that lets us know the specifics of who you
are. The Personally Identifiable Information we collect
when you use our Site may include your name, mailing
address, phone number, e-mail address, credit card number,
expiration date, shipping address, id numbers, login
names, passwords, public postings, prospect email address,
and job title. We request Personally Identifiable
Information when you order a product or service,
participate in certain promotional activities, fill out
surveys, and correspond with us. We also collect
Personally Identifiable Information when you ask that we
send products or information directly to other people; in
these cases, we will collect the information you submit
about the recipient. It will be clear when you are on a
part of our Site that requires personal information,
because we will ask you for it and you will have a
choice
about how we use that information.
Non-Personally Identifiable Information: This
refers to information that does not by itself identify a
specific individual. The non-personally identifiable data
we collect when you visit our Site may include the Uniform
Resource Locator ("URL")(1)
of the Web site that you came from before visiting our
Site, which pages you visit on our Site, which URL you
next go to, which browser you used to come to our Site,
your Internet Protocol ("IP")(2)
address, and any search terms entered on our Site. This
Statement also contains more information about how we use
cookies
and other technology to collect this data.
We do not connect the Personally Identifiable
Information and Non-Personally Identifiable Information we
collect on our Site.
Our primary goals in collecting information are to
provide customers with superior service and to provide all
visitors a smooth, efficient, and personalized experience
while using our Site. For example, if you purchase
products or request information on our Site, we use your
Personally Identifiable Information to fill your order or
provide the requested information. We use Non-Personally
Identifiable Information on an aggregated basis to analyze
customer behavior to help us understand how visitors use
our Site and to measure interest in the various pages. We
use this information to improve the content of our Site,
to make our Site easier to use, and to customize our
advertising.
We gather and use information in a number of ways,
including the following:
Browsing: We collect certain Non-Personally
Identifiable Information when you visit our Site or click
on banner ads for Enhanced Technology Solutions
products and services. We collect this information to help
run our Site more efficiently, to gather broad demographic
information, to monitor the level of activity on our Site,
and to evaluate the effectiveness of our advertising.
Learn more about how we use
cookies
and other technology to collect this information.
Ordering: We collect Personally Identifiable
Information when you purchase products and services. We
collect this information to deliver your order, to obtain
payment, and to communicate with you about the status of
your order.
Technical support: We may collect certain
information when you request technical support for your
Enhanced Technology Solutions products or services. This
information is necessary to identify your systems,
understand the configuration of the products, diagnose
your questions, and provide solutions.
Online surveys and polling: We collect
Personally Identifiable Information from customers who
volunteer to complete surveys or participate in polls. We
use this information to improve our products and services.
Promotional activities: We collect Personally
Identifiable Information from you when you enter a
promotional program or activity. We use this information
to administer the program or activity, to send you
promotional e-mails, notify winners, and make the winners'
list publicly available pursuant to certain states' laws.
Newsletters and promotional e-mails: We collect
Personally Identifiable Information when you ask to
receive newsletters, promotional e-mails, and other
information. We use this information to provide you the
information you request.
Contact information: If you contact us, we may
keep a record of your correspondence or comments,
including Personally Identifiable Information, in a file
specific to you. We use this information to help us
provide better service in the event you contact us again.
We do not sell, trade, or rent to others the Personally
Identifiable Information we collect online. Unless we have
your permission, we will share the Personally Identifiable
Information you provide online only with other Enhanced
Technology Solutions entities and/or businesses
that provide services to Enhanced Technology Solutions and only for the purposes described
above.
Where Enhanced Technology Solutions engages third
parties to perform services on our behalf, we will require
them to observe the intent of this Online Privacy
Statement.
From time to time, we may be required to provide
Personally Identifiable Information in response to a court
order, subpoena, or government investigation. We also
reserve the right to report to law enforcement agencies
any activities that we in good faith believe to be
unlawful. We may release certain Personally Identifiable
Information when we believe that such release is
reasonably necessary to enforce or apply our Terms and
Conditions or to protect the rights, property, and safety
of others and ourselves.
Enhanced Technology Solutions or its related
entities could merge with or be acquired by another
business entity or their respective assets could be
acquired. Should such a combination or acquisition occur,
you should expect that Enhanced Technology Solutions would share some or all of your Personally
Identifiable Information to continue serving you and other
users of our Site.
Enhanced Technology Solutions will not use or
share the Personally Identifiable Information collected on
our Site in ways unrelated to the purpose for which you
provided the information, including those described
above,
without providing you a choice whether to permit any such
unrelated uses. At the time you provide your information,
we will offer you a choice as to whether you want to
receive further communications about special offers,
product information or other marketing messages. If you
choose not to receive these communications, we will not
use the information you provide for this purpose. If you
change your mind and wish not to receive further marketing
communications from Enhanced Technology Solutions,
let us know. You can
opt out at any time. All e-mail communications from us,
such as newsletters, tell you how to stop receiving them.
Please follow these instructions if you no longer wish to
receive the e-mail messages.
You can correct factual errors in your
personally identifiable information by sending us a
request that credibly shows error. To protect your privacy
and security, we will also take reasonable steps to verify
your identity before granting access or making
corrections.
Enhanced Technology Solutions seeks to ensure
that your information and preferences are accurate and
complete. If you have registered with Enhanced Technology
Solutions, you may access and change your
information by visiting the site area where it was
submitted or by following the instructions on the
communication received from us.
A "cookie" is a small data file transferred by a Web
site to your computer's hard drive. We may send cookies when
you browse our Site, make purchases, respond to online
surveys or polls, or request information. Accepting the
cookies used on our Site does not give us access to your
Personally Identifiable Information, but we can use the
cookies to identify your computer. The aggregate
information collected permits us to analyze traffic
patterns on our Site. This can enable us over time to
provide you with a better experience on our Site by
improving the content and making it easier to use. For
example, cookies can keep track of what you have selected
to purchase as you continue to shop and allow you to enter
your password only once on pages where a logon is
required.
Most browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can
usually refuse cookies, or selectively accept certain
cookies, by adjusting the preferences in your browser. If
you turn off cookies, though, there may be some features
of our Site that will not be available to you and some Web
pages may not display properly. You can find information
on popular browsers and how you can adjust them to control

Some pages on our Site may contain electronic images known
as Web beacons, or single-pixel GIFs, placed by our
research and development team. Web beacons,
which use
cookie
technology, permit this team to compile aggregated
statistics for Enhanced Technology Solutions about
how visitors use our Site and to gauge the effectiveness
of our content. No Personally Identifiable Information is
collected or shared through the Web beacons used on our
Site, and the information collected does not permit us to
identify users of our Site. The data is collected
exclusively for use in Enhanced Technology Solutions's marketing and research.
Enhanced Technology Solutions acknowledges your
trust and is committed to protecting the information you
provide us. To prevent unauthorized access, maintain
accuracy, and ensure proper use of information, we have
employed physical, electronic, and managerial processes to
safeguard and secure the information we collect online.
Parts of our Site contain links to third-party Web
sites for your convenience and information. If you use
these links, you will leave the Enhanced Technology
Solutions Web site. When you access a non-Enhanced
Technology Solutions Web site, even one that
may contain the Enhanced Technology Solutions
logo, please understand that we do not control the content
and are not responsible for the privacy practices of that
site. We suggest that you carefully review the privacy
policies of each site you visit. This Online Privacy
Statement does not cover the information practices of
those Web sites linked to our Site. These other sites may
send their own cookies to users, collect data, or solicit
personal information.
Enhanced Technology Solutions believes that
protecting children's privacy online is extremely
important, and we encourage parents and guardians to take
an active role in their children's use of the Internet and
to spend time online with their children. Enhanced
Technology Solutions respects national and international
laws, including the Children's On-line Privacy Protection
Act ("COPPA"), which applies in the United States.
Accordingly, at our Site we do not collect personal
information from children under 13 without parental
consent. In the event we develop areas of our Site
directed at children under age 13, we will implement a
special children's privacy statement that complies with
the requirements of COPPA and other relevant laws.
If there are changes or additions to the terms of this
Online Privacy Statement, we will post those changes here
so that you will always know what information we collect
online, how we use it, and what choices you have. Please
be sure to check this page before proceeding to use our
Site. Regardless of any changes we make to our Online
Privacy Statement, we will always use your Personally
Identifiable Information in accordance with the version of
the Statement in place at the time you provided your
information, unless you give your express consent for us
to do otherwise.
If you have any questions or concerns about Enhanced
Technology Solutions use of your information or
about this Online Privacy Statement, please send an e-mail

the URL for Enhanced Technology Solutions's home page.
2 An IP address is an identifier for a computer
or device on a Transmission Control Protocol/Internet
Protocol ("TCP/IP") network, such as the World Wide Web.
