Terms of Use
Overview
At AMTW we care about your privacy and take special efforts to maintain
your trust. We offer the AMTW network of web sites which allows
you to interact with AMTW representatives, volunteers and other
users; this document describes our privacy policies and practices
so you will feel more comfortable and confident in using our services.
You should carefully read this Privacy Statement (the "Policy").
This Policy applies only to information collected
on the AMTW network of web sites. It does not speak about our practices
for information collected elsewhere or the practices of any third
parties, including those who operate sites on our behalf and that
display our branding.
General
We do not sell or rent your personally identifiable information
for marketing purposes. Our goal is to act with respectable and
professional conduct with respect to your privacy. We feel that
trust is critically important to your use of our sites and we know
that in order to achieve this goal, we must ensure that all members
are totally confident that their information is secure and private.
Our primary goal in collecting personal information from you is
to provide you with a smooth, efficient and customized experience
while using our sites. This allows us to provide services and features
that most likely meet your needs, and to customize our service to
make you experience easier and quicker. With features such as previous
order retrieval, pro-active first name basis live customer service
and saved orders are all made possible through our process of collecting
information from our users. Our site has been optimized for usability
with registered users. Those who are not registered will still have
access to a large portion of the features. Please note however,
that we may still collect information from non-registered users.
About AMTW Cookies
Cookies are small bits of information that are stored on your hard
drive. A session cookie is only stored on your hard drive while
you are actually visiting our sites, whereas a permanent cookie
is stored permanently unless you delete it from your cookie file
on your hard drive. Cookies are extensively used by web sites as
a convenient way to store information it knows about you. If you
have not registered, cookies enable us to customize your shopping
and browsing experience and help enable order retrieval, saved orders
and name based live customer support. Most browsers allow you to
configure your preferences to notify you when cookies are being
placed on your hard drive or to reject all cookies. If you disable
the AMTW cookies you will still be able to enjoy most of our sites
features but some aspects will not be enabled.
About IP Addresses
An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your
computer when you use the Internet. In some cases your IP address
stays the same from browser session to browser session; but if you
use a consumer Internet access provider such as AOL or Earthlink,
your IP address probably varies each session-thus making it difficult
for us to use your IP address (by itself) to determine who you are.
When you visit the AMTW network, our servers log your IP address,
which is used for, among other things, systems administration and
aggregated usage reports.
Information We Collect
- Registration Information
- Cookies and IP Addreses
- Purchases and other activities. If you buy products or take
part in other activities on our network we automatically store
that information regarding the transaction or activity.
- Referred Information. If you were referred to our Site from
another web site, that web site may send us information that you
provided to them. We will collect, use and protect that information
they provide to us, just as if you provided it to us. Affiliates
will be able to see that a purchase was made after linking from
their site but they will not be able to see who or what was purchased.
Our Use of Your Information
We primarily use your information to facilitate our services. The
main purpose is to facilitate sales transactions and the shipping
process. We will use your contact information to send you notices
regarding your activity on our site and perhaps sales notifications
or other special offers. If you elected to be put on the AMTW Mailing
List then you will receive that content as well.
Future Services
We also use your information to improve our marketing and promotional
efforts, to statistically analyze site usage, to improve our content
and product offerings, and to customize our sites' content, layout
and services.
We do not sell or give out any of your information
to any 3rd parties however in the event of an investigation, or
if we have suspicion of fraud or other illegal activities we may
provide your information to the proper authorities. We make every
effort and follow industry standard practices to safeguard the confidentiality
of each user's personal information.
Limitations
While it is our mission to run our service perfectly to ensure your
satisfaction, technology is never perfect. We may make inadvertent
uses and disclosures of your information in ways not described in
this Policy. For example, if the software has a crash or a virus,
your personal information could be displayed on the site even though
you have configured your preferences otherwise. We may also make
ad hoc uses of your information in ways we have not contemplated
here. We will do our best to work with you if these types of situations
arise, but your sole remedy in these cases is to have us try to
fix the problem as soon as we possibly can.
Control of Your Password
Except as specifically permitted by this Section, you may not disclose
your password to any third parties nor share it with any third parties.
If you lose control of your password, you may lose substantial control
over your personally identifiable information and may be subject
to legally binding actions taken on your behalf. Therefore, if your
password has been compromised for any reason, you should immediately
change your password AND notify an AMTW representative.
AMTW will in no event be held liable to any user
or customer of the AMTW network of sites for any damages or breach
of this privacy policy. We will use our best efforts to maintain
this policy but it is not to be taken in any way as a guarantee
and users must understand that hacker attacks, viruses, natural
disasters and other computer problems may cause a loss of your information
which is beyond our control.
Changes to this Privacy Policy
AMTW may amend this policy from time to time. If we make any substantial
changes in the way we use your personal information we will notify
you by posting a prominent announcement on our pages.
