The Services use cookies and similar technologies such as pixel tags, web beacons, clear GIFs, and JavaScript (collectively, “Cookies”) to enable our servers to recognize your web browser, tell us how and when you visit and use our Services, analyze trends, learn about our user base and operate and improve our Services.  Cookies are small pieces of data– usually text files – placed on your computer, tablet, phone or similar device when you use that device to access our Services.  Please note that because of our use of Cookies, the Services do not support “Do Not Track” requests sent from a browser at this time.

We will work to respond to your Valid Request within the time period required by applicable law.  We will not charge you for a fee for making a Valid Request unless your Valid Request(s) is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded.  If we determine that your Valid Request warrants a fee, we will notify you of the fee and explain that decision before completing your request.

You may submit a Valid Request using the following methods:

  • Email us at:  privacy@eongroup.co
  • Submit a request at this address: Attn: Data Privacy Team, 11 West 30th Street, 6th Floor, New York, NY 10001, USA
