Commitment to Privacy
Essential Group, Inc. (The Company) respects the privacy of visitors to
its web site, and as a result, we have developed this web site privacy policy
to safeguard and secure the information we collect online.
User Information
Through this web site The Company may collect information that can identify
you, such as your name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, and
other similar information ("User Information") when it is voluntarily
submitted to us. We will use User Information to respond to requests you
may make of us, and from time to time, we may refer to User Information
to better understand your needs and how we can improve our web site, products
and services. We may also use User Information to contact you about our
products and services. We may also enhance or merge User Information with
data obtained from third parties for the same purposes. Any other information
transferred by you in connection with your visit to this site ("Other
Information" - that is, information that cannot be used to identify
you) may be included in databases owned and maintained by The Company
or its agents. The Company retains all rights to these databases and the
information contained in them. Other Information we collect may include
your IP Address and other information gathered through our web logs and
cookies (see below). This site may collect web log information. Web log
information is gathered when you visit our web site by the computer that
hosts our web site (called a "web server"). The web server automatically
recognizes some non-personal information, such as the date and time you
visited our site, the pages you visited, the web site you came from, the
type of browser you are using (e.g., Internet Explorer or Netscape), the
type of operating system you are using (e.g., Windows XP), and the domain
name and address of your Internet service provider (e.g., MSN).
Cookies
This web site may use a technology called a "cookie." A cookie
is a piece of information that our web server sends to your computer (actually
to your browser file) when you access a web site Then when you come back
our site will detect whether you have one of our cookies on your computer.
Our cookies help provide additional functionality to the site and help
us analyze site usage more accurately. For instance, our site may set
a cookie on your browser that keeps you from needing to remember and then
enter a password more than once during a visit to the site.
This web site uses
Internet Protocol (IP) Addresses. An IP Address is a number assigned to
your computer by your Internet service provider so you can access the
Internet. Generally, an IP address changes each time you connect to the
Internet (it is a "dynamic" address). Note, however, that if
you have a broadband connection, depending on your individual circumstance,
it is possible that your IP Address that we collect, or even perhaps a
cookie we use, may contain information that could be deemed identifiable.
This is because with some broadband connections your IP Address doesn't
change (it is "static") and could be associated with your personal
computer. We use your IP address to report aggregate information on use
and to help improve the web site
Children's Privacy
You should be aware that this site is not intended for, or designed to
attract, individuals under the age of 18. We do not collect personally
identifiable information from any person we actually know is an individual
under the age of 18.

Company are engaged. We may, for example, provide your information to

services, or so that they can mail you information that you requested.
The Company reserves
the right to share User Information to respond to duly authorized information
requests of governmental authorities or where required by law. We may
