PRIVACY POLICY
Your privacy is extremely important to us and we want you to feel comfortable using this Website. ExpressTec is committed to creating products and services that are built on a solid foundation of trust. ExpressTec has created this statement in order to demonstrate our commitment to privacy.
How ExpressTec Collects and Uses Information
This Privacy Policy covers your use of the Website, including how ExpressTec treats personal information. ExpressTec collects and stores personally identifying information about Website users (“Personal Information”) when a user provides Personal Information on a voluntary basis such as completing an online form.
ExpressTec will not sell, rent or lease your Personal Information to third parties without your explicit consent, except as specified in this Privacy Policy.
ExpressTec also collects, stores, and analyzes log files, including IP addresses and Website usage data, from its servers. For example, ExpressTec collects information on what Content users view and what times users visit the Website. ExpressTec collects information to assist ExpressTec in the maintenance, administration and improvement of the Website. ExpressTec may share information with technology and business partners or may use information for research purposes, but ExpressTec will refer only to aggregate data, not specific user identifying information. In addition, ExpressTec may combine your information with information that ExpressTec collects from other companies to enhance and personalize the Website, Content, and Website advertising.
ExpressTec uses “cookie” technology that allows its servers to deposit codes on a user’s computer. A cookie is a small amount of data, which often includes an anonymous unique identifier that is sent to your browser from a website’s computers and stored on your computer’s hard drive. You can configure your browser to accept all cookies, reject all cookies, or notify you when a cookie is set. If you reject all cookies, you may not be able to take full advantage of the Website. ExpressTec uses its own cookies for a number of purposes, including to access your information when you “sign in;” keep track of preferences you specify while you are using the Website; display the most appropriate advertising banners, based on your interests and activity on the Website; estimate and report ExpressTec’s total audience size and traffic; and conduct research to improve the Website and Content. This information also is used for research purposes in the course of providing and enhancing the Website’s features and functions. ExpressTec’s cookies do not collect Personal Information and ExpressTec does not combine information collected through cookies with other Personal Information to tell us who you are or what your User Name or email address is.
The use of cookies by third parties that you may locate or reach through the Website is not covered by this Privacy Policy. ExpressTec does not have access or control over these cookies. Those third parties may use session ID cookies to support their website’s functionality such as web analytics reporting.
ExpressTec may also employ a software technology called clear gifs (a.k.a. Web Beacons/Web Bugs), that helps ExpressTec better manage the Website by informing us what Content is effective or popular. Clear gifs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, and are used to track the online movements of Web users. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on a user’s computer hard drive, clear gifs are embedded invisibly on Web pages and are about the size of the period at the end of this sentence. ExpressTec does not tie the information gathered by clear gifs to your Personal Information.
Security of Your Personal Information
ExpressTec implements physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the Personal Information it collects. You need to work to protect against unauthorized access to your computer by signing off once you have finished using a shared computer. ExpressTec follows generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and once ExpressTec receives it. No method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. Therefore, while ExpressTec strives to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Information, ExpressTec cannot guarantee its absolute security. Under no circumstances will ExpressTec be responsible or liable for any loss or damages, pecuniary or otherwise, caused by a third party’s unauthorized access to or use of your Personal Information. If you have any questions about security on the Website, you can email ExpressTec at info@ExpressTec.com.
Children’s Privacy
ExpressTec does not knowingly collect or use personal information from children under 18. We are not responsible for the data collection and use practices of third-party websites to which to which this Website may link.

You have the option to remove information from our database in order to stop receiving information from us. If you have any questions, send e-mail to info@ExpressTec.com
Disclosing Personal Information
ExpressTec may disclose Personal Information to parties in compliance with ExpressTec’s Privacy Policy, as ExpressTec, in ExpressTec ‘s sole discretion, believes necessary or appropriate in connection with an investigation of fraud, intellectual property infringement, piracy, or other unlawful activity. In such events, ExpressTec may disclose a user’s name, street address, city, state, zip code, country, phone number, email address, and company name.
It may be necessary for ExpressTec to share Personal Information in order to investigate, prevent or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, violations of ExpressTec’s Terms of Use, as specified in this Privacy Policy, or as otherwise required by law. In some cases, ExpressTec may choose to buy or sell assets. In these types of transactions, customer information is typically one of the business assets that is transferred. ExpressTec will transfer your Personal Information if ExpressTec is acquired by or merged with another company or its assets acquired. In this event, ExpressTec will notify you by email or by putting a prominent notice on the Website before your Personal Information is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
ExpressTec employs other companies and people to perform tasks on our behalf and needs to share your information with them to improve and enhance the Website and Content. Examples may include, but are not limited to, analyzing data, providing marketing assistance and providing customer service. Our advertising partners may collect information about your visits to our Website, such as the date, duration and number of visits, but will not use any personal identifying information like your name, address, email address or phone number.
Without limiting the above, in an effort to respect your privacy and ExpressTec’s ability to keep the community and its Website free from bad actors, ExpressTec will not otherwise disclose your Personal Information to law enforcement, other government officials or other third parties without a subpoena, court order, legal process or substantially similar legal procedure, except when ExpressTec believes in good faith that the disclosure of information is necessary to protect ExpressTec ‘s rights, prevent imminent physical harm or financial loss or to report suspected illegal activity.
Third Parties
Except as otherwise stated, this Privacy Policy addresses only the use and disclosure of information ExpressTec collects from and in connection with this Website. If you disclose your information to others, different rules may apply to their use or disclosure of the information you disclose to them. ExpressTec does not control the privacy policies of third parties and you are subject to the privacy policies of those third parties where applicable. ExpressTec is not responsible for the privacy or security practices of other websites on the Internet, even those linked to or from this Website. ExpressTec strongly encourages you to ask questions before you disclose your Personal Information to others.

A. Procedure for Reporting Copyright or Intellectual Property Infringements:
If you materially misrepresent that any content on this Website is infringing your intellectual property rights, you may be liable for damages (including costs and attorneys’ fees). If you are not sure whether the Content infringes upon your intellectual property, please contact an attorney before contacting ExpressTec.
If you believe that any content residing on or accessible through this Website infringes a copyright or other intellectual property right, to provide ExpressTec of notice of such infringement, you must send a written notice of the infringement to the Designated Agent listed above (“Infringement Notification”). Your notice must specify the type of infringement and include the following information:
- A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright or intellectual property right that has been allegedly infringed;
- Identification in sufficient detail of the material being infringed, including the relevant copyright registration number;
- Identification of the content that is claimed to be infringing the identified intellectual property right. Include information regarding the location of the infringing content with sufficient detail so that ExpressTec is capable of finding and verifying its existence;
- Contact information about the notifier including the name of the intellectual property owner, the name and title of the person contacting ExpressTec on the owner’s behalf, the address, telephone number and, if available, e-mail address;
- A statement that the notifier has a good faith belief that the content is not authorized by the intellectual property or copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and
- A statement made under penalty of perjury that the information provided is accurate and the notifying party is authorized to make the complaint on behalf of the intellectual property or copyright owner.
B. Removal of Allegedly Infringing Material
Once a proper Infringement Notification is received by ExpressTec’s Designated Agent, ExpressTec may respond to a proper notice claimed of copyright infringement by (i) removing or disabling access to any content claimed to be subject of infringing activity; and (ii) terminating the Account and Website Access of repeat offenders. If ExpressTec removes or disables access in response to such a notice, ExpressTec will make a good-faith attempt to contact the allegedly infringing user so that the user may submit a counter notification. Whether to reinstate the objected to content is solely within the discretion of ExpressTec.
C. Procedure to Submit a Copyright Counter-Notice to the Designated Agent
If you materially misrepresent that your content is not infringing the intellectual property identified in the Infringement Notification, you may be liable for damages (including costs and attorneys’ fees). Therefore, if you are not sure whether or not your content infringes the identified intellectual property, please contact an attorney before contacting ExpressTec.
If a Website user believes that his or her content that was removed or to which access was disabled is not infringing a third party’s intellectual property right, you must send a counter-notice, pursuant to §512(g)(2) and (3) of the DMCA. Please do not re-post your content at issue yourself. The counter-notice must contain the following information to the Designated Agent listed below.
- Your physical or electronic signature;
- Identification of your content that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which your content appeared before it was removed or disabled;
- A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good faith belief that your content was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification of such content;
- Your name, address, telephone number, and, if available, e-mail address and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal Court for the judicial district in which the complaining user’s address is located, or if your address is located outside the United States, for any judicial district in which ExpressTec is located, and that you will accept service of process from the complaining user who provided notification under subsection (c)(1)(C) or an agent of such person.
If a counter-notice is received by the Designated Agent, ExpressTec may send a copy of the counter-notice to the original complaining party informing that person that ExpressTec may replace the removed content or cease disabling it in ten (10) business days. Unless the intellectual property owner files an action seeking a court order against the allegedly infringing Website user, the removed content may be replaced or access to it restored in ten (10) to fourteen (14) business days after receipt of the counter-notice, at ExpressTec’s discretion.
Please contact ExpressTec’s Designated Agent to submit Infringement Notifications and Copyright Counter-Notices at the following address:
