Cookies
A cookie is a small text file that a website can place on your computer’s hard drive, for example to collect information about your activities on the site. The cookie transmits this information back to the website’s computer, which, generally speaking, is the only computer that can read it. Cookies may be used on Encore’s website for purposes such as to distinguish between visitors, track information about site usage, or to enhance the user experience.
Most consumers do not know that cookies are being placed on their computers when they visit web sites. If you want to know when this happens, or to prevent it from happening, you can set your browser to warn you when a website attempts to place a cookie on your computer.

Links to other sites
Burlington’s websites may contain links to other sites on the Internet that are operated by parties other than Encore. Once you link to another site, you are subject to the terms of use and privacy policy of the new site. These links are provided for your convenience, and Encore does not control or make any guarantee about the other sites or their policies.  Further, links to particular items in hypertext should not be considered an endorsement of any organization or viewpoint in that text.  To report problems with links on our site, please see the contact information below.

Children
No applications on our website specifically solicit information from minors or seek to determine whether the visitor is a minor. Consequently, because such information will not be specifically identified as being from minors, users of the site should be aware that personally identifiable information submitted to the site by minors will be subject to being treated in the same manner as information given by an adult and may become subject to public records act requests.
Encore strongly believes that parental supervision is an important factor in internet use by minors. Therefore, Encore asks parents to guide minor children under the age of 13 when children are asked to provide any personal information online. Encore further requires that children under the age of 13 ask for and receive their parent’s permission before providing any information online to Encore.  Any personal information for children under 13 that is identified as being collected without parental permission will be deleted.

How long will we keep your personal data?
To the extent permitted by applicable law, we will retain personal data we obtain about you as long as (a) it is needed for the purposes for which we obtained it, in accordance with the provision of this Privacy Policy, or (b) we have another lawful basis, as stated in this Privacy Policy or at the point of collection, for retaining that personal data beyond the period for which it is necessary to serve the original purpose.

To request to exercise any rights under this policy or US law, please contact IT Manager at Encore in writing. Please note that these rights are not absolute, and, in some circumstances, we may be entitled to refuse some or all of your request. If you have any questions or concerns about how your personal data is being used by us, you can contact IT Manager at Encore, at .
