Privacy Policy
Your privacy is essential to us. Accordingly, we have developed this policy to help you understand how we collect, use, communicate, and use personal information. The following outlines our privacy policy.
When accessing the Emerald Courses website, you will learn certain information about you during your visit.
Like other commercial websites, our website utilizes a standard technology called 'cookies' (see explanation below) and server logs to collect information about how our site is used. We do this in a way that respects your privacy, only gathering data that helps us improve your experience. Information gathered through cookies and server logs may include the date and time of visits, the pages viewed, time spent at our site, the websites visited just before and after our own, and your IP address.
Use of Cookies
A cookie is a minimal text document, often including an anonymous unique identifier. When you visit a website, that site's computer asks your computer for permission to store this file in a part of your hard drive specifically designated for cookies. Each website can send its cookie to your browser if your browser's preferences allow it, but (to protect your privacy) your browser only permits a website to access the cookies it has already sent to you, not the cookies sent to you by other sites. This ensures that you have full control over the cookies that are stored on your computer, enhancing your online security.
IP Addresses
Your computer uses IP addresses every time you connect to the Internet. Your IP address is a number used by computers on the network to identify your computer. Our web server automatically collects IP addresses as part of demographic and profile data known as “traffic data” so that data (such as the Web pages you request) can be sent to you.
Email Information
If you choose to correspond with us through email, we may retain the content of your email messages, your email address, and our responses. We provide the same protections for the electronic communications we employ to maintain information received online, by mail and by telephone. This also applies when you register for our website, sign up through any of our forms using your email address or purchase on this site. For further information, see the email policies below.
