This privacy policy (“Privacy Policy” or “Policy”) applies to the websites located at the following domains (“Websites”):
These websites are owned and operated by ETS Express and its affiliated companies, (collectively "ETS Express", "we", "us", or "our").
We respect your privacy and are committed to maintaining and using any information we collect through your use of the Websites responsibly. This Privacy Policy addresses our use and disclosure of the information we collect from you, which includes PII ("PII" or "Personal Data"), as well as non-PII. Please read this Policy carefully to understand our practices regarding your information and how we will treat it. If you do not agree with our policies and practices, then please do not use our Websites. By using our Websites, you agree to the terms of this Policy.
This Policy may change from time to time (see below, “Changes to this Policy”). Your continued use of our Websites after we make changes is deemed to be acceptance of those changes, so please check the Policy periodically for updates.
In the course of using ETS Express as a preferred supplier, you may have the opportunity to voluntarily submit PII. (e.g., providing profile information or providing an e-mail address) through our Websites and in responding to our surveys. PII is any information that can be used to individually identify you from a larger group. We collect PII from you at several different points on our Websites. We strive to limit the PII collected about you to information that is required for conducting our business and offering products and services that might be of interest to you.
We may collect the following PII on our Websites:
When you send us an email or Live Chat message, we will retain the content of the email, your email address, and our response, in order to handle any follow-up questions you may have. We also use it to measure how effectively we address your concerns. Please know that email messages sent to our Websites may not be secure. You should not send confidential information by email. If you choose to do so, you accept the risk that a third party may intercept email messages.
In addition to the information that you provide to us directly, we may also collect information about you during your visit to our Websites. We collect non-PII about your visits such as internet service provider, browser type, and pages accessed on our Websites to optimize your user experience and enhance your time spent with us online. We also receive information telling us about any website from which you came.
We collect this information using some or all of the automated tools that are detailed below. These tools may collect information about your behavior and your computer system, such as your internet address (IP Address), the website pages you have viewed, and the actions you have taken while using the Websites.
When you access the Internet, the computers that host websites you visit (web servers) automatically receive some anonymous information. This "usage data" may include a record of which pages a web browser has visited. ETS Express’ servers receive usage data when customers visit our Websites. ETS Express may use various kinds of software devices to collect information about the internet use related to our Websites. Small files called "cookies" may be attached to your web browser. These files identify your browser and may save information such as passwords so that our Websites can recognize you when you return.
We may use the following categories of cookies on our Websites
Overall, cookies help us provide you with a better website by enabling us to monitor which pages you find useful and which you do not. A cookie in no way gives us access to your computer or any information about you, other than the data you choose to share with us. You can choose to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. This may prevent you from taking full advantage of the Websites.
Web Beacons. A Web Beacon is an electronic image. Web Beacons can track certain things from your computer and can report activity back to a web server allowing us to understand some of your behavior. If you choose to receive emails from us, we may use Web Beacons to track your reaction to our emails. We may also use them to track if you click on the links and at what time and date you do so. Some of our third-party marketing partners may use Web Beacons to track your interaction with online advertising banners on our Websites. This information is only collected in aggregate form and will not be linked to your PII. Please note that any image file on a webpage can act as a Web Beacon.
Embedded Web Links. We sometimes used embedded web links. Such web links provided in our emails and, in some cases, on third-party websites may include tracking technology embedded in the link. The tracking is often accomplished through a redirection system. The redirection system allows us to understand how the link is being used by email recipients. Some of these links will enable us to identify that you have personally clicked on the link and this may be attached to the PII that we hold about you. This data is used to improve our service to you and to help us understand the performance of our marketing campaigns.
Third-party Websites and Services. We work with a number of service providers of marketing communications technology. These service providers may use various data collection methods to improve the performance of the marketing campaigns we are contracting them to provide. The information collected can be gathered on our Websites and also on the websites where our marketing communications are appearing. For example, we may collect data where our banner advertisements are displayed on third-party websites.
Google Analytics. We use Google Analytics to improve our services and the effectiveness of the Websites. The Websites sends aggregated, non-PII to Google Analytics for the purpose of providing us with the ability to conduct technical and statistical analysis on the Websites’ performance. For more information on how Google Analytics supports the Website and uses information sent from the Websites, please review Google’s privacy policy available at https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites
We use this information to better understand your needs and provide you with a better service, and in particular for internal record keeping. We do not sell or rent our customers' information to any outside company or third party organization.
In addition to the uses described above, we may use the information we collect:

We want to provide you with relevant information that you have requested.
If we provide subscription-based services, such as email newsletters, we will allow you to make choices about what information you provide at the point of information collection or at any time after you have received a communication from us while you are subscribed. Transactional or service-oriented messages are usually excluded from such preferences, as such messages are required to respond to your requests or to provide goods and services, and are not intended for the purposes of marketing.
We will not intentionally send you email newsletters and marketing emails unless you consent to receive such marketing information. After you request to receive these emails, you may opt out of them at any time by selecting the “unsubscribe” link at the bottom of each email.
