Privacy Policy

The following terms and conditions are integrated into each user experience on eDirectree and shall govern all privacy policies on this site. We are committed to protecting the privacy rights of our users, while creating a safe and open forum for community members to share contact information and express themselves in a positive, constructive manner.

The general rule of eDirectree is that "if you don't have something nice to say, don't say it at all." Each of our users should flag and remove offensive or negative comments from unclaimed profiles in their groups. You are entrusted with a powerful tool, one that you should use to reconnect with past friends and share meaningful content with others.

Defamation prevention

eDirectree is committed to protecting users and people having profiles on eDirectree against defamatory statements that adversely affect reputation. Each member should correct and report to us any negative comments posted on this site about you or anyone else. Such behavior is a strict violation of the eDirectree privacy policy. Furthermore, the user community of eDirectree is encouraged to remove any defamatory or offensive content posted on this site themselves by correcting profiles, by 'flagging' defamatory or offensive content, or by 'reporting' it to eDirectree directly from the site. Once flagged, such content will be blocked until the eDirectree community has a chance to review and take an appropriate remedial action.

Offensive speech

eDirectree shall remove, and requests each user of eDirectree to flag for removal, any offensive speech in the form of text, pictures, audio, and/or video posted on eDirectree, including that which is pornographic, spiteful, inciteful, libelous, slanderous, and inflammatory.

Identity Theft prevention

If you believe that your profile on eDirectree has been wrongly claimed by another, you should report this information to eDirectree. eDirectree will provide a means for you to submit secondary information to eDirectree to get access to your profile and reclaim it. Alternatively, eDirectree will send a pin to an address location identified in the profile. The pin can be used to unlock a blocked profile. This secondary information may include any combination of a driver's license, a utility bill mailed to the primary address, and/or another form of verification. Email addresses associated with profile sabotagers on eDirectree shall be permanently banned from using and re-registering on eDirectree.

Children and Minors

We ask that users avoid submitting information which can specifically identify on a map physical place of residence or play of a minor under the age of 18 in any public group.

Freedom of Speech

eDirectree is committed to protecting and upholding the civil liberties of its users, including the U.S. Constitutional Bill of Rights protection of First Amendment Freedom of Speech. However, eDirectree shall not permit any speech that falls into one of the categories described here, and which is offensive, defamatory or illegal.

Cookies & Log Files

Like most web sites, eDirectree uses cookies and web log files to track site usage. A cookie is a tiny data file which resides on your computer which allows eDirectree to recognize you as a user when you return to our site using the same computer and web browser. Unfortunately, if your browser settings do not allow cookies, you will not be able to use our website fully. Like the information you enter at registration or in your profile, cookie and log file data is used to customize your experience on the web site. In addition, eDirectree tracks edits, history and changes to any profile by users of our site.

Information

eDirectree is an online service dedicated to creating meaningful groups of friends. Our mission is to help people from all walks of life more effectively connect with one anothers they share a mutual group with in a positive way. You should be sure that anything you post on eDirectree is acceptable for public display to the person who you are writing about. Information collected by eDirectree from the site (such as, for example, patterns of utilization) is exclusively owned by eDirectree. This information can be utilized by eDirectree in such manner as eDirectree, Inc, at its sole discretion, deems appropriate. We are mindful of not spamming you, and of protecting your Constitutional first amendment rights.

Communications

eDirectree will communicate with you through email and notices posted on this website. These include a series of up to three welcome emails per month which help inform new users about various features of the service. Please be aware that you will always receive certain emails from eDirectree related to the proper functioning of your account, such as email notices when another user in your network sends you an opportunity. eDirectree may send you promotional information unless you have opted out of receiving such information. If you wish to opt-out of receiving promotional emails, please send a request to customer-service@edirectree.com.

Customized Content

Information you provide at registration or in your profile section is also used to customize your experience on the web site. For example, when you login to your account we will display the screen names of new users who have recently joined your network.

Information Sharing

eDirectree takes the privacy of our users very seriously. Users of eDirectree can adjust their privacy levels directly on the site based on their privacy preferences from their 'MyProfile' page. eDirectree does not warrant how third-party search engines will update their cache. We may provide data about the usage of our services to third-parties for such purposes as we deem, in our sole discretion, to be appropriate. We may segment our users by role ( i.e. product managers, vice presidents), industry, geographic location, and organization. If you would like to be excluded from the aggregated research or products based upon integrated data about our users' activities on the site, please email customer service.

Partnering with Other Organizations to Offer Combined Services

eDirectree partners with other online services to give you the combined results of both services. Whenever we offer such combined services it will be your choice to make use of the combined services or not. In these cases, your personally identifiable information will only be passed from eDirectree to the partner, if you choose to use the combined service.

Communications Between Users

In emails you initiate through eDirectree, an invitation sent to a non-user for instance, will list your email address and name in the header of the message. Emails you initiate may also provide aggregate information about your network (for instance, how many people are in your network), but will never list the people to whom you're directly connected. Other communications that you initiate through the eDirectree website, like a request for contact, will list your name as the initiator but will not include your personal contact information. Your contact information will only be shared with another user if both of you have indicated that you would like to establish contact with each other.

Information about your Contacts

In order to create a group, you will enter their names and email addresses. This information will be used by eDirectree to send your invitation including a message that you write. The names and email addresses of people that you invite will be used only to send your invitation and reminders. All information that you enter or upload about your contacts will be covered by the same terms of this privacy policy as cover your own personally identifiable information.

Legal Disclaimer

It is possible that we may need to disclose personal information when required to do so by law. We will disclose such information when we have a good-faith belief that it is necessary to comply with a court order, ongoing judicial proceeding, or other legal process served on our company, to exercise our legal rights or defend against legal claims.

Accessing and Changing Your Account Information

You can review the personal information you provided us and make any desired changes to the information or to the settings for your eDirectree account at any time, by logging in to your account on the eDirectree website and editing the information on your Profile page. You can also send a request to close your account on the eDirectree website. We may retain certain data contributed by you if it may be necessary to prevent fraud or future abuse, or for legitimate business purposes, such as analysis of aggregated, non-personally-identifiable data, account recovery, or if required by law. All retained data will continue to be subject to the terms of the eDirectree Privacy Policy that you have previously agreed to.

Security

In order to secure your personal information, access to your data on eDirectree is password-protected, and sensitive data is protected by SSL encryption when it is exchanged between your web browser and our web site. To protect any data you store on our servers we may audit our system for possible vulnerabilities and attacks.

Changes to this privacy policy

eDirectree may update this privacy policy. In the event there are significant changes in the way we treat your personally identifiable information, we will display a notice on this site. Unless stated otherwise, our current Privacy Policy applies to all information that we have about you and your account.

Violation of this privacy policy

eDirectree shall disable, remove, and permanently ban any user who violates any one or more of the policies above.
