Privacy Policy
We have created this privacy policy to demonstrate our firm commitment
to your privacy and the protection of your information.
How we protect your privacy
We use security measures to protect against the loss, misuse and alteration
of data used by our system.
Sharing and Usage
We will never share, sell, or rent individual personal information with anyone
without your advance permission or unless ordered by a court of law. Information
submitted to us is only available to employees managing this information
for purposes of contacting you or sending you e-mails based on your request
for information and to contracted service providers for purposes of providing
services relating to our communications with you.
How can you stop receiving e-mail from us?
Each e-mail sent contains an easy, automated way for you to cease receiving
e-mail from us, or to change your expressed interests. If you wish to do
this, simply follow the instructions at the end of any e-mail.
Order
We request information from the user on our order form. A user must provide
contact information (such as name, email, and shipping address) and financial
information (such as credit card number, expiration date). This information
is used for billing purposes and to fill customer’s orders. If we have
trouble processing an order, the information is used to contact the user.
Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user’s computer tied to information
about the user. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any personally identifiable
information while on our site. We use both session ID cookies and persistent
cookies. For the session ID cookie, once users close the browser, the cookie
simply terminates. A persistent cookie is a small text file stored on the user’s
hard drive for an extended period of time. Persistent cookies can be removed
by following Internet browser help file directions. Provide a link to information
on cookies.
By setting a cookie on our site, users would not have to log in
a password more than once, thereby saving time while on our site.
If users reject the cookie, they may still use our site. The only
drawback to this is that the user will be limited in some areas
of our site.
Some of our business partners use cookies on our site (for example,
advertisers). However, we have no access to or control over these
cookies, once we have given permission for them to set cookies
for advertising.
This privacy statement covers the use of cookies by this site
only and does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers.
Log Files
Like most standard Web site servers we use log files. This includes internet
protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit
pages, platform type, date/time stamp, and number of clicks to analyze trends,
administer the site, track user’s movement in the aggregate, and gather
broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses, etc. are not
linked to personally identifiable information.
Newsletter
If a user wishes to subscribe to our newsletter, we ask for contact information
such as name and email address. Out of respect for our users privacy we provide
a way to opt-out of these communications. Please see the paragraph above
for opting-out.
Legal Disclaimer
Though we make every effort to preserve user privacy, we may need to disclose
personal information when required by law wherein we have a good-faith belief
that such action is necessary to comply with a current judicial proceeding,
a court order or legal process served on our Web site.
Third Party Intermediaries
We use an outside credit card processing company to bill users for goods and
services. These companies do not retain, share, store or use personally identifiable
information for any secondary purposes.
Service Providers
We partner with other third parties to provide specific services. These third
parties are not allowed to use personally identifiable information except
for the purpose of providing these services.
Links
This Web site contains links to other sites. Please be aware that we, AMA Interactive,
are not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage
our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements
of each and every Web site that collects personally identifiable information.
This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by this Web
site.
Surveys & Contests
From time-to-time our site requests information from users via surveys or contests.
Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary and the
user therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose this information.
The requested information typically includes contact information (such as
name and shipping address), and demographic information (such as zip code).
Contact information will be used [shared with the contest [survey] sponsors]
to notify the winners and award prizes. Survey information will be used for
purposes of monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction of this site.
Users’ personally identifiable information is not shared with third
parties unless we give prior notice and choice. Though we may use an intermediary
to conduct these surveys or contests, they may not use users’ personally
identifiable information for any secondary purposes.
Security
This Web site takes every precaution to protect our users’ information.
When users submit sensitive information via the Web site, their information
is protected both online and off-line.
When our registration/order form asks users to enter sensitive
information (such as credit card number and/or social security
number), that information is encrypted and is protected with the
best encryption software in the industry - SSL. While on a secure
page, such as our order form, the lock icon on the bottom of Web
browsers such as Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer
becomes locked, as opposed to un-locked, or open, when users are
just ‘surfing’.
While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online,
we also do everything in our power to protect user-information
off-line. All of our users’ information, not just the sensitive
information mentioned above, is restricted in our offices. Only
employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for
example, our billing clerk or a customer service representative)
are granted access to personally identifiable information. Our
employees must use password-protected screen-savers when they leave
their desk. When they return, they must re-enter their password
to re-gain access to user information. Furthermore, ALL employees
are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy practices. Every
quarter, as well as any time new policies are added, our employees
are notified and/or reminded about the importance we place on privacy,
and what they can do to ensure our users’ information is
protected. Finally, the servers that store personally identifiable
information are in a secure environment.
If users have any questions about the security at our Web site,
users can send an email to webmaster@amainteractive.com
