Cookies
A cookie is a small file which is placed on the user’s hard drive during an encoreatlanta.com visit. This file allows the user to move quickly and easily around our site. It is used to identify returning users and to identify subscribers and registrants (a registrant – and subscriber – will have the cookie linked to their e-mail address as a way of identifying them). This means that if you are a registrant or subscriber, you will not have to login each time you visit. We also use a cookie to track a user’s sessions. We use this information to find out what site features are most popular so that we can develop Encore Atlanta in the light of our analysis of people’s usage. We also use cookies and the information we collect to show you relevant content and advertising.
You can delete cookies from your hard drive at any time. Bear in mind, though, that if you delete these cookies, any settings such as your stored username and password will have to be reset when you log in again.
Unlike many sites, you will be able to use Encore Atlanta even if you set your browser not to accept any cookies. However, certain features and content may not be available to you and you will have to log in every time you visit.

E-mails
Encore Atlanta uses reputable third parties to deliver the e-mails you might receive from our site if you subscribe to our e-mail newsletters or have chosen to receive information about Encore Atlanta products and offers. These third parties use unique identifiers and invisible images (often called "pixel tags" or "clear GIFs") to perform message open sensing, message format sensing, and clickthrough sensing on behalf of Encore Atlanta in order to bring you more relevant information.
Security Policy
Encore Atlanta has appropriate measures in place to ensure that users’ personal details are not misused, accidentally destroyed, lost or altered within the Encore Atlanta server environment.
Occasions will arise when customer information is passed outside the Encore Atlanta server environment to other data processors (i.e. fulfillment bureaus, database consultants etc.) but they will only act upon instruction from Encore Atlanta in order to perform the services required.
Transfer of Personal Data Overseas
Given that the Internet is a global environment, using the Internet to collect and process personal data necessarily involves the transmission of data on an international basis. Therefore, by browsing Encore Atlanta and communicating electronically with us, you acknowledge and agree to our processing of personal data in this way.
Updating Customer Details
It is important to us that we have your correct contact information so that you don’t miss out on further correspondence or experience problems with the delivery of products.
You can change your personal information or your e-mail requirements by contacting us at info@encoreatlanta.com.
Children Under 13
Encore Atlanta does not intentionally collect any personally identifiable information from individuals under the age of 13. When necessary, underage users will be told not to submit any personal details and we will make every effort to delete any details of such users where a parent or guardian has informed us that these details have been collected.
