EMist (“us”, “we”, or “our”) operates the EMist website (the “Site”).

This page informs you of our policies regarding the collection, use and disclosure of your information when you use our Site.

We use your Personal Information for providing and improving the Site and the services and products we offer. By using the Site, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. Unless otherwise defined in this Privacy Policy, terms used in this Privacy Policy have the same meanings as in our Terms and Conditions, accessible at https://emist.com

We collect information about you depending on how you use our Site.  For example, while using certain sections and features of our Site, we may ask you to provide us with certain Personally Identifiable Information (“Personal Information”) that can be used to contact or identify you. Personal Information may include, but is not limited to:

• Name
• Email address
• Telephone number
• Address

Below is a summary of the type of information we collect about you from various sources:

• Information You Provide to Us. We collect information provided to us directly from you, such as when you register an account, subscribe to our communications, make purchases, contact us with questions or comments, or participate in our online forums, promotions and social media platforms.

• Device Information. When you visit our Site, we collect information from your devices (computers, mobile phones, tablets, etc.). This information includes your IP address, device advertising ID, information about your operating system, how you use the device, and your physical location.

• Information from Other Sources/Technologies. In addition to the information that we collect from you directly, we may also receive information about you from technologies or other sources, including third parties, such as our business partners, our affiliates, publicly available sources, or social networks in which you participate. For example, we collect certain information that is posted on social media sites, blogs and other websites.

We collect information that your browser sends whenever you visit our Site (“Log Data”). This Log Data may include information such as your computer’s Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, browser type, browser version, the pages of our Site that you visit, the time and date of your visit, the time spent on those pages and other statistics.

Use And Processing of Information

We use the information we collect to deliver, and improve our products and services, as well as to understand how you use and interact with our Site. In addition to the purposes and uses described above, we use information in the following ways:

• to communicate with you about your account;
• for internal administrative purposes, as well as to manage our relationships;
• for such other purposes as you may consent (from time to time); or
• as otherwise permitted or required by applicable law.

Although the sections above describe our primary purpose in collecting your information, in many situations we have more than one purpose. For example, if you complete an online purchase we may collect your information to perform our contract with you, but we also collect your information as we have a legitimate interest in maintaining your information after your transaction is complete so that we can quickly and easily respond to any questions you may have about your order. As a result (and as permitted by law), our collection and processing of your information is based in different contexts upon your consent, our need to perform a contract, our obligations under law, and/or our legitimate interest in conducting our business.
