We use "cookies" on our website. A cookie is a piece of data stored on a site visitor's hard drive to help us improve your access to our site and identify repeat visitors to our site. For instance, when we use a cookie to identify you, you would not have to log in a password more than once, thereby saving time while on our site. Cookies can also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance and personalise the experience on our site. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any personally identifiable information on our site.

While we do need to gather certain information to make your experience personalized and to conduct transactions for you, Epitomic Digital wants to give you the ability to control how your information is provided and shared.

Security
We take precautions to protect your information. When you submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected both online and offline.
Wherever we collect sensitive information, that information is encrypted and transmitted to us in a secure way. You can verify this by looking for a lock icon in the address bar and looking for "https" at the beginning of the address of the Web page.
While we use encryption to protect sensitive information transmitted online, we also protect your information offline. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, billing or customer service) are granted access to personally identifiable information. The computers/servers in which we store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment. We use Mailchimp & Hubspot where necessary to store all.

We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of any other site that collects personally identifiable information.
Personal Information Retention
To determine the appropriate retention period, we consider the type and volume of the information, the negatives that can result from un-permitted access to such information, why we gather such information and the availability of achieving the goals of such gathering through alternative means. Unengaged contacts and contacts that are no longer customers are removed from our servers on a regular basis.
