Privacy Policy

The Florida Export Directory Privacy Statement
Enterprise Florida, Inc. (EFI) is committed to safeguarding your privacy in conjunction with your use of the Florida Export Directory. Please read the following policy to understand how your organization's information will be treated as you use our service. This policy may change from time to time as we update current services or add new services, so please check back.

This policy will let you know:
What Personally Identifiable Information the Florida Export Directory collects from you

The Florida Export Directory collects information in several ways from different parts of our website. Some personal and business information is gathered when you voluntarily register your business. During registration, the Florida Export Directory asks for contact names, titles, addresses, email addresses, industry classification and details on your company products and services. The more information you volunteer (and the more accurate it is), the better service we can provide. Once you register you are no longer anonymous to the Florida Export Directory - you are given a User ID and are able to take full advantage of the Florida Export Directory’s many offerings. In addition to registration we may ask you for information at other times, such as in the general "contact us" form.


What cookies are and how the Florida Export Directory uses them

We use a feature of your Internet Web browser called a "cookie" to assign a unique identification to your computer. Cookies are files that your Web browser places on your computer's hard drive. We use these cookie files to store session information as you navigate through various parts of the website.

The Florida Export Directory does not and cannot use cookies to retrieve information about you from your computer.

You also have choices with respect to cookies. By modifying your browser preferences, you have the choice to accept all cookies, to be notified when a cookie is set, or to reject all cookies. If you choose to reject all cookies you will be unable to post your profile in the Florida Export Directory.

EFI is not responsible for cookies added to browsers once visitors click on links outside of Florida Export Directory.


How the Florida Export Directory uses your information

The primary goal for the Florida Export Directory in collecting your company information is to present your business profile to businesses interested in international trade. We do this by making your listing available in our web directories and, depending on the services you subscribe to, by providing your public profile information to partners for publishing in their annual printed directories websites.

We may use your Registration Information to provide services that you request or to contact you regarding additional services about which the Florida Export Directory determines that you might be interested. Specifically, we may use your email address, mailing address, or phone number to contact you regarding notices, surveys, product alerts, new service or product offerings and communications relevant to your use of our Site. We may generate reports and analysis based on the Registration Information for internal analysis, monitoring and marketing decisions.

Occasionally, we may use your information to contact you regarding product and service offerings from third parties we feel may be of interest to you. You will always have the opportunity to opt-out of receiving future such communications.

All of your Profile Information will be publicly available on the Site and therefore accessible by any internet user. Any Profile Information that you disclose to the Florida Export Directory becomes public information and you relinquish any proprietary rights (including but not limited to the rights of confidentiality and copyrights) in such information. You should exercise caution when deciding to include personal or proprietary information in the Profile Information that you submit to us.


With whom the Florida Export Directory shares your information

The Florida Export Directory will not disclose any of your information to third parties such as list brokers. As a registered user, you accept that your business listing will be added to our public directory as well as possibly in our partner directory network.

We may provide your information to unrelated third parties to whom we outsource certain services to. For example, we provide your credit card information to our credit card processor when you purchase an enhanced membership plan or other for-fee product or service. In all such cases, we insure that the third party agrees to abide by our privacy policy in the handling of your information.

On occasion, the Florida Export Directory may also share non-personal, summary information regarding our registrants with unrelated third parties. For example, we will publicly disclose the aggregate number of registered users of our web site to potential advertisers. However, the Florida Export Directory does not share any personal information about any particular registrant with unrelated third parties. The Florida Export Directory does not sell or rent user information to anyone.


What the Florida Export Directory policy is on allowing updates, corrections, or deletions

You may edit your Florida Export Directory Account Information and your public Florida Export Directory Profile at any time. The Florida Export Directory moderates each listing prior to posting to our directory. The Florida Export Directory reserves the right to make appropriate changes to your listing in relation to typographical errors and formatting of your listing. Your Florida Export Directory account can be deleted or deactivated, but doing so will result in your profile not being publicly viewable by directory users.

Your account can be deactivated from the web site by submitting a request to member.services@floridaexportdirectory.com. Your record will remain within our archive records.


General information about privacy

Please keep in mind that whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information online - specifically in our business listings - that information can be collected and used by others. In short, if you post your information online that is accessible to the public, you may receive unsolicited messages from other parties in return.

Ultimately, you are solely responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your passwords and/or any account information. Please be careful and responsible whenever you are online.
