ECHO FICTION RESPECTS THE RIGHT TO PRIVACY OF CUSTOMERS AND VISITORS OF THIS SITE AND IS COMMITTED TO PROTECTING IT. THIS PRIVACY POLICY EXPLAINS HOW YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION IS PROCESSED AND USED. YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION WILL ONLY BE USED IN WAYS DESCRIBED IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY.
- Every computer connected to the Internet is assigned a set of numbers that serve as that computer's IP (Internet Protocol) address. When a visitor requests a page from any website within the echofiction.com Network, our web servers automatically recognize that visitor's IP address. The IP address does not reveal any personal information. We use the IP logs to examine our traffic in aggregate, but do not collect and evaluate this information for individuals. Our web servers do not record e-mail addresses of visitors.
What Are Cookies?
- A cookie is a small piece of data that is sent to your browser from a web server and stored on your computer's hard drive. We may send session ID cookies as well as persistent cookies. Session ID cookies terminate and are erased once you close your browser or log out, while persistent cookies are stored on your hard drive for longer periods. Cookies cannot damage your system. You can choose whether to accept cookies by changing the settings of your browser. You can reset your browser to refuse all cookies, or allow your browser to show you when a cookie is being sent. If you choose not to accept these cookies, your experience at our site and other websites may be diminished and some features may not work as intended.
What Other Information Do You Request?
The personal information that we request and collect through online forms for ordering services and products may include the following:
- Your name
- Your e-mail address

- Phone and fax numbers
This type of information allows us to process and fulfill your order and to notify you of your order status. This information may also be used by us to notify you about product or service maintenance or upgrades, but will not be shared or sold to third parties for any purpose. We maintain a strict privacy policy, which means that we do not intend to sell, rent, or otherwise give your e-mail address to third parties.
- echofiction.com does not request or collect credit card information. We use third party billing agents to process payments made for services or products offered by us.
- echofiction.com will always make an effort to include a link to this Privacy Policy on every page that includes a web form for collecting personal information from you.
What Else Should I Know About My Privacy When Online?
- Please keep in mind that whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information online - for example through e-mail, discussion lists, or elsewhere - that information can be collected and used by others. In short, if you post personal information online that is accessible to the public, you may receive unsolicited messages from other parties in return.
- Ultimately, you are solely responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your personal information. Please be careful and responsible whenever you're online.
