What information do you collect?
Registered users of eLumit.com are required to provide only the

address is used to send you our newsletter and notifications if
you requested it. Your zip code is used to look up your local manufacturer's

remove it. Project and product specification information is also
collected from My eLumit users.
What do you do with the information I provide?
We use your profile information to fulfill requests you make through
My eLumit. This includes requests you make for product information,
pricing or samples from manufacturers or their reps. The information
you provide when you register is never shared outside of eLumit.com
without your permission. We use your project and product spec information
