In some cases where your privacy settings permit it (such as, posting to your message board), other EZmethods.com users may be able to supplement your profile.
EZ Solutions Privacy Settings Principles:
We developed and designed EZmethods.com in order to make it easy for our users to share information with their contacts and other users. We understand you may not want everyone in the world to have the information you share on EZmethods.com; that's the reason we give you complete control of your user information. Our default privacy settings makes it easy for other users to access the information posted by you. However, we give you the options to limit the information displayed in your profile and other pages to your networks and other users.
EZ Solutions follows two core principles:
1. You should have complete control over the information posted by you. EZ Solutions helps you share information with your contacts and other users. You choose what information you put in your profile, including contact and personal information, pictures, educational details, employment, interests, etc. And you control the users with whom you share that information through the privacy settings on the Privacy settings page.
2. You should have access to the information other users want to share with you. There is an immense amount of information available on our site and over the internet, and you may want to know what relates to you and your contacts. We want to assist in easily getting that information.
Sharing information should be easy as well as secured. We have made our best attempt in providing you with the privacy tools necessary to control how, where, and with whom you wish to share that information. If there is something we've missed or if you have any new ideas which will enhance our privacy settings, please feel free to contact us.
When you use EZmethods.com, you may set up your personal profile, form relationships, send messages, send interests, perform searches and queries, post classifieds, post events, do blogging, and transmit information through various channels. We collect this information so that we can provide you the service and offer personalized features. In most cases, we retain it so that, for instance, you can return to view prior messages you have sent or easily see your friend list. You do have complete control over deleting such content. However, when you update information, we usually keep a backup copy of the prior version for a reasonable period of time to enable reversion to the prior version of that information after which it's deleting permanently from our servers.

EZ Solutions does not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from anyone under the age of 13 or knowingly allow such persons to register. If you are under 13, please do not attempt to register for EZmethods.com or send any information about yourself to us, including but not limited to your name, address, telephone number, or email address.

If you believe that we might have any information from or about a child under 13, please contact us to inform us so that we can take an immediate action.

Collected Information and Use:
The information we collect is used to improve the content of our Web page, used to customize the content and/or layout of our page for you, used to notify you about updates to our Web site, and used by us to contact you for marketing purposes. EZ Solutions is the sole owner of any information we collect from you. We will not sell, share, or rent this information to others in ways different from what is disclosed in this statement. Our primary use of the information you provide us is for billing purposes and to fill your orders. In addition however, for your convenience we also may use the information to provide other services including the following:
Availability of User Information:
Profile information you submit to EZmethods.com will be available to other users of EZmethods.com depending on your privacy settings. Your name, nick names, profile picture thumbnail, etc will be available in search results across the EZmethods.com network and those limited pieces of information may be made available to third party search engines. This is primarily done so that others can find you and send a contact request. However, people who see you show up in search results will not be able to access your profile information unless they have a relationship with you (contact, contact of contact, etc.) that allows such access based on your privacy settings.
User Information for statistics and Advertising:
EZ Solutions may use information contained in your profile without identifying you as an individual to any third party. We may also gather information about you from other sources including but not limited to our applications such as events and blogging to supplement what you have in your profile. Of course, generally allow you to specify in your privacy settings that you do not want this to be done or to take other actions that limit the connection of this information to your profile. However, you can't prevent us from collecting aggregate data.
We do this for two purposes, for statistical purposes and to show you the most accurate advertisements and sponsored links. For statistical purposes, we show detail demographics of our registered users. For instance we show number of users based on gender, location, etc. For advertising and promotional purposes, we use your personal information to show you things that you may be most interested in. For instance, if you are a software developer, we may show you ads related to software developing companies. Ultimately, both these uses are for your benefit. You will have complete knowledge about other EZmethods.com members. For instance, if you are a software developer, you may want to how many other members are of the same profession. The advertisers will be able to show you what you may be most interested in. For instance, if you are a software developer, other software developing companies may be interested in reaching out to you. However, that software developing company who may be interested in reaching out to you will never have any access to any of your personal information. These all are aggregate data. This way, you'll know more about the world around you and other users will be able to know more about you, as much as you wish to share with them.

EZ Solutions may also occasionally send you announcement/notifications regarding new services offered which you may find valuable.
Generally, you may opt out of such emails from the settings and subscription page. However, EZ Solutions reserves the right to send you notices related to your account even if you opt out of all voluntary email notifications.
