We have created this privacy statement ("Statement") in order to demonstrate our commitment to customer privacy. Privacy on the EZPleating.com web site and other company owned web sites such as eyarder.com (the "Site") is of great importance to us. Because we gather important information from our visitors and customers, we have established this Statement as a means to communicate our information gathering and dissemination practices. We reserve the right to change this Statement and will provide notification on this web site of the change at least thirty (30) business days prior to the change taking effect.

We require customers who register to use the services offered on our Site (collectively, the "Service") to give us contact information, such as their name, company name, address, phone number, and e-mail address, and financial qualification and billing information, such as billing name and address, credit card number, and the number of users within the organization that will be using the Service. At the time you express interest in attaining additional information, or when you register for the Service, we may also ask for additional personal information, such as title, department name, fax number, or additional company information, such as number of employees, or industry. Customers can opt out of providing this additional information by not entering it when asked. Customers can update or remove certain personal information at any time by logging into the Website and editing their Personal Information within the account maintenance section on the members home page.

EZPleating.com uses the information that we collect to set up the Service for individuals and their organizations. We may also use the information to contact customers to further discuss customer interest in our company, the Service that we provide, and to send information regarding our company or partners, such as promotions and events.

Customer email addresses and any personal customer information will not be distributed or shared with third parties.

Separately, customers are also asked to provide an email address when registering for the Service, in order to receive a username and password.

Again, email will not be distributed or shared and customers can opt out of receiving any communication by emailing support@eyarder.com at the time it is distributed.

Cookies:
When you interact with the eYarder.com Website we strive to make that experience easy and meaningful. When you come to our Web site, our Web server may send a cookie to your computer. Cookies are files that Web browsers place on a computer's hard drive and are used to tell us whether customers and visitors have visited the Site previously.
