Web Privacy Policy
The purpose of this Privacy Policy is to explain how eJoule Inc. (“eJoule”), uses and protects any data collected through the eJoule.com and info.eJoule.com websites. This Privacy Policy only applies to data collected through the eJoule.com and info.eJoule.com websites, but not to the eJoule customer voice portals, which are governed differently. Your use of the sites is governed by this Privacy Policy and eJoule is committed to ensuring that your privacy is protected. To that end, eJoule will not collect, use or disclose your personal information other than in compliance with this Policy. Should we ask you to provide certain information by which you can be identified when using this website, then you can be assured that it will only be used in accordance with this privacy statement. Please note that this Policy only applies to personal information obtained by us and not information collected from your interactions with third parties.
Collection And Use of Your Information
When you visit our websites, we may collect certain information from you. This information falls into two categories: 1) personal information you voluntarily supply when you fill out forms on our websites as well as partner sites and 2) tracking information collected as you navigate our sites.
Personal Information You Provide to Us
We may retain and use for our business purposes (including to contact you, provide services to you, provide customer service and to send newsletters) personally identifiable information (PII) you provide to us such as your name, job title, job description, email address, company, and phone number. You are responsible for ensuring the accuracy of the information you submit to eJoule in connection with your use of our Sites.
Tracking Information
We may use technologies to track your use of our websites, tailor your web experience and our email messages to you. This includes non-personal information such as that related to your IP address, web browser, and operating system.
Use of Cookies on Our Websites
Cookies are small, unique strings of code stored on your computer that make it easier for you to use our site and help us improve site functionality and security. We may use both session cookies (which expire once you close your browser) and persistent cookies (which stay on your computer until you delete them).
We may use our own proprietary cookies, as well as cookies hosted by third party vendors. These cookies include non-personally identifiable information that allows advertisers and content owners to provide a more customized web experience. They may be used to tailor content on our site as well as on sites you may visit in the future. They may collect data such as your browser type, your operating system, Web pages visited, time of visits, content viewed, and other clickstream data.
When you visit our web sites or open a marketing email you have received from us, we or one of our partners may place or recognize a unique cookie on your browser. These cookies, which do not contain personally identifiable information, enable us to send you messages about our services, customize our services and gather analytics about our web traffic. Additionally, emails we send to you may contain a bit of code known as a “web beacon.” This code helps us understand the time and date that a user has opened an email and when he/she has used a link within the email to visit a website, allowing us to collect analytics about our traffic, customize our services, and send you messages about our services. You can disable our web beacons by turning images “off” in your email client (e.g., Outlook, Outlook Express).
We may also use cookies to automatically collect information about your computer when you visit our sites, and automatically store it in log files. This may include the type of browser software you use, the operating system you are running, the website that referred you, and your Internet Protocol (“IP”) address. The information generated by the cookies about your use of our websites is transmitted to service providers and used to evaluate your visits to the sites and to compile analytical and statistical reports on website activity and other data for eJoule.
You, through your browser, may reject the use of, or delete, cookies, but this may prevent the best end-user experience for you on our website. Additionally, if you wish to opt out of Analytics for the web, visit the Google Analytics opt-out page and install the add-on for your browser.
We May Disclose Your Personal Information as Follows:
We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We will share your personal information with third parties only in the ways that are described in this privacy policy.
Vendors, Partners and other Service Providers
We may use third party service providers for demand generation and sales support, along with career, network, security, email, and hosting services. Suppliers, partners and service providers are required by contract to keep confidential the information received on our behalf and may not use it for any purpose other than to carry out the services they are performing for us.
Disclosure Required by Law
Under certain circumstances personal information may be subject to disclosure pursuant to judicial or other government subpoenas, warrants, or orders, or when we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, protect your safety or the safety of others, investigate fraud, or respond to a government request or to any other third party with your prior consent to do so. If we are ever legally compelled to disclose your personal information to a third party, we will notify you with the contact information we have unless doing so would violate the law or a court order.
Disclosure of Non-personal information
We may share with third parties or service providers non-personally identifiable information about your use of our website, which could include demographics, interests, and other online habits.

Do Not Track Notice
Except as described above with regards to Google Analytics services, eJoule does not track its visitors to this site over time and across third party websites to provide targeted advertising and therefore does not respond to Do Not Track (DNT) signals. You may opt out of tracking via Google Analytics as described above. However, some third-party sites do keep track of your browsing activities when they serve you content, which enables them to tailor what they present to you. If you are visiting such sites, your web browser may allow you to set the DNT signal so that third parties (particularly advertisers) know you do not want to be tracked.
Access, Control and Opt-Out
Simple and Quick Opt-Out:
We want to communicate with you only if you want to hear from us. If you wish to subscribe to our marketing and sales campaign emails, we will use your name and email address to send these messages to you.

Please note, however, that we may retain some of your personal information as necessary for our legitimate interests, such as fraud detection and enhancing security. We may also retain and use your personal information to the extent necessary to comply with our legal obligations, such as keeping information for legal reporting and auditing obligations. Additionally, some copies of your information (e.g. log records) may remain in our database but are disassociated from personal identifiers. Residual copies may also be kept in our backup systems. If we have shared your personal information with others, we will let them know about the erasure where possible.
Other Important Information
Security: We take the security of our data and client’s information seriously. We always take what we believe are reasonable precautions to protect against unauthorized access to our systems and to prevent data from being disclosed to unauthorized parties. We follow generally accepted standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. However, no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Business Transitions: If we ever go through a business transition such as a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of its assets, your personal information and non-personal information will likely be among the assets transferred. We will request an acquiring company or merger agreement to uphold the material terms of this privacy statement, including honoring requests for opting out of email subscriptions.
