Disclosure of Information
We reserve the right to disclose your Collected Information to
relevant authorities where we have reason to believe that such
disclosure is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action
against someone who may be infringing or threatening to infringe, or
who may otherwise be causing injury to or interference with, the
title, rights, interests or property of EMNP, our Users, customers,
partners, other web site users or anyone else who could be harmed by
such activities.
We also reserve the right to disclose Collected Information in
response to a subpoena or other judicial order or when we reasonably
believe that such disclosure is required by law, regulation or
administrative order of any court, governmental or regulatory
authority.
If we have reason to believe that a User is in breach of the Terms of
User Agreement or any other agreement with us, then we reserve the
right to make public or otherwise disclose such User¡¯s Collected
Information in order to pursue our claim or prevent further injury to EMNP
or others.
Co-Branded Relationships
We have established relationships with other parties to offer you the
benefit of other products and services which we ourselves do not
offer. We offer you access to these other parties either through the
use of hyperlinks to their sites from our Site, or through offering
“co-branded” sites in which both ourselves and these other parties
share the same uniform resource locator, domain name or pages within a
domain name on the Internet. In some cases you may be required to
submit information for purposes of registering or applying for
products or services provided by such third parties or co-branded
partners. The privacy policy of such other parties may differ from
ours, and we may not have any control over the information that you
submit to such third parties or co-branded sites. We therefore
encourage you to read that policy before responding to any offers,
products or services provided by such other parties.
Cookies
We do not use “cookies” to store specific information about you
and track your visits to our Site. It is not uncommon for websites to
use cookies to enhance identification of their users. A “cookie”
is a small amount of data that is sent to your browser and stored on
your computer’s hard drive. A cookie can be sent to your
computer’s hard drive only if you access our Site using the
computer. If you do not de-activate or erase the cookie, each time you
use the same computer to access our Site, our web servers will be
notified of your visit to our Site and in turn we may have knowledge
of your visit and the pattern of your usage. Generally, we do not use
cookies to identify you and enable us to access your Registration
Information.
Minors
The Site and its contents are not intended to be targeted to minors
under applicable law and we do not intend to sell any of our products
or services to minors. However, we have no way of distinguishing the
age of individuals who access our Site and so we carry out the same
Privacy Policy for individuals of all ages. If a minor has provided us
with personal information without parental or guardian consent, the
parent or guardian should contact us to remove the information.
Security Measures
We employ commercially reasonable security methods to prevent
unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy and ensure correct use of
information. As a Registered User, your Registration Information,
Publishing Information and Payment Information (if any) can be viewed
and edited through email request which can be submitted at online@educationaldiaandpublication.com. We
recommend that you do not divulge your Password to anyone. Our
personnel will never ask you for your Password in an unsolicited phone
call or in an unsolicited e-mail. If you share a computer with others,
you should not choose to save your log-in information (e.g., User ID
and Password) on the computer. The requested changes may take upto 30
days to appear online because of verification process and server cache
policies. A user account can be deleted or deactivated, but doing so
will result in the user not being able to access any members-only area
of the network. Residual information will remain within our archive
records. No data transmission over the Internet or any wireless
network can be guaranteed to be perfectly secured. As a result, while
we try to protect your information, no web site or company, including
ourselves, can absolutely ensure or guarantee the security of any
information you transmit to us and you do so at your own risk.
Child’s Privacy
We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. We take
specific steps to protect the privacy of children by Additionally, to
ensure that children’s privacy is respected on our Web site, we ask
the visitor to confirm that his/her age is above 13 years. We do not
provide information about our personal data practices in relation to
children on our home page, or at those sites on our Web site where we
collect personal data.
Changes to Privacy Policy
The policy may change from time to time so please check periodically.
