Privacy Policy

erWEB respects and protects the privacy of the individuals who use this service (hereinafter referred to as the “Service”). Individually identifiable information about you is not willfully disclosed to any third party without first receiving your permission, as explained in this privacy policy ("Privacy Policy").

erWEB and Cookies
Upon your first visit to erWEB, erWEB sends a "cookie" to your computer. A cookie is a piece of data that identifies you as a unique user. erWEB uses cookies to improve the quality of our service and to better understand our users. erWEB does this by storing user preferences in cookies and by tracking user trends and patterns of how people use the erWEB Services. erWEB will not disclose its cookies to third parties except as required by a valid legal process such as a search warrant, subpoena, statute, or court order. Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. You can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. Be aware, however, that some parts of the Services may not function properly if you refuse cookies.

What Information Do We Collect?
erWEB does not collect any unique information about you (such as your name, email address, etc.) except when you specifically and knowingly provide such information. erWEB notes and saves information such as time of day, browser type, browser language, and IP address with each query. That information is used to verify our records and to provide more relevant services to users. For example, erWEB may use your IP address or browser language to determine which language to use when showing search results or advertisements.

Links to Other Sites
The stories/sites displayed and/or linked to by the Service are developed by people over whom erWEB exercises no control. Other links are also on sites not controlled by erWEB. These other sites may send their own cookies to users, collect data, or solicit personal information. erWEB may choose to exhibit its results in the form of a "URL redirector." When erWEB uses a URL redirector, if you click on a URL on an erWEB page, information about the click is sent to erWEB, and erWEB in turn sends you to the site you clicked on. We use this URL information to understand and improve the quality of erWEB's technology.

With Whom Does erWEB Share Information?
erWEB may share information about you with advertisers, business partners, sponsors, and other third parties. However, we only divulge aggregate information about our users and will not share personally identifiable information with any third party without your express consent. For example, we may disclose how frequently the average erWEB user visits erWEB, or which erWEB pages are most often used. Please be aware, however, that we will release specific personal information about you if required to do so in order to comply with any valid legal process such as a search warrant, subpoena, statute, or court order.

Your consent and changes to the Privacy Policy
By using the services available on this web site, you consent to the collection and use of your information as we have outlined in this policy and our Terms of Service Policy. erWEB may decide to change this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will post those changes on this page so that you are always aware of the information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances we disclose it.
