Non-Personal Information

Use of IP Addresses

An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you're surfing the Internet. Web servers automatically identify your computer by its IP address. The Eden Initiative may collect IP addresses for the purposes of system administration, to report aggregated information to our advertisers, and to audit the use of our website.

Responses to Email Inquiries

When visitors or customers send email inquiries to The Eden Initiative, the return email address is used to answer the email inquiry we receive. The Eden Initiative does not use the return email address for any other purpose and does not share the return email address with any third party.

Voluntary Customer Surveys

We may periodically conduct both business and individual customer surveys. We encourage our customers to participate in these surveys because they provide us with important information that helps us to improve the types of services we offer and how we provide them to you. Your personal information and responses will remain strictly confidential, even if the survey is conducted by a third party. Participation in our customer surveys is voluntary.

The Eden Initiative is not responsible for the content or the privacy policies of websites to which it may link and our privacy policy does not apply to websites to which we may link. While The Eden Initiative and its affiliates strive to protect their customers' information and privacy, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you disclose online and so you disclose such information at your own risk.
