When you register for an EPI account, we ask that you give us certain information. EPI uses your information on an aggregated basis to do such things as operate our site and enhance our site. We statistically analyze site usage, including the behavior of our members, to improve the content, layout, and services of the EPI site, as well as to enhance our marketing and promotional efforts. We do not disclose any personally identifiable information about you to any third party without your permission. We may also use the information we collect to occasionally notify you about important functionality changes to the web site, new EPI services, and special offers we think you'll find valuable.

As a general rule, EPI will not disclose any of your personally identifiable information without your permission or under special circumstances. We may be required to do so by law or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary. If personally identifiable data about you will be shared, we will tell you, whenever possible, before we collect or transfer the data. EPI makes every effort to ensure the confidentiality of all information you provide about yourself.

EPI uses industry standard efforts to safeguard the confidentiality of your personally identifiable information, such as firewalls and Secure Socket Layers. We make every effort to protect the loss, misuse, and alteration of the information under our control. In addition, we - and our partners - always use a secure connection when collecting personal financial information from you. However, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.

Your EPI account is password-protected so that only you and those you designate can access it and view the member information relevant to your account. Ultimately, you are responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your passwords and any account information. Remember to log out of your EPI account and close your browser window when you are done with EPI. This ensures that others cannot access your personal information if your computer is accessible to others.

The safety of children is very important to us. No information should be submitted to or posted at EPI by children under the age of 13 ("Children") without the prior consent of their parent or guardian.
