AEUSP.com Statement of Privacy
This document was last updated June 10, 1998.
At AEUSP, we are committed to protecting your privacy and to developing technology that
gives you the most powerful and secure online experience. You can travel through
most of our site without giving us any information about yourself. But sometimes we do
need information to provide services that you request, and this statement of privacy
explains data collection and use in those situations. Please read the complete AEUSP.com
privacy statement.
Collecting your Personal Information
We will ask you when we need information that personally identifies you (personal
information) or allows us to contact you. Generally, this information is requested when
you are asked to register before entering a contest, ordering e-mail newsletters, joining
a limited-access premium site, or when purchasing and registering AEUSP products. Personal
information collected by AEUSP.com often is limited to e-mail address, language, country
or location, but may include other information when needed to provide a service you
requested.
For example: If you choose to make a purchase a product on the Web site, we will request
personal information such as: name, address, telephone number, credit card number and
shipping information.
When you buy a new product, we may ask you to register your purchase electronically. When
you do, we keep this registration information on file with any information you've already
given us on previous visits to our Web site. This is considered your personal profile.
AEUSP.com uses AEUSP MS ADVANCED SERVER NT 2003 Professional for its registration service.
This allows us only to access your personal information at AEUSP, you can also shop
securely at many other participating
Passport Web
sites, by signing in with your e-mail address and a password. When you register with
the AEUSP, your profile is created only by the
webmaster.
If you ever want to review or update your profile, simply visit our sites or e-mail the webmaster. Your personal information will be
changed by request. Well may ask you to disclose your AEUSP sign-on (e-mail
address and password) so that only we can access your profile.
The sign-on service assigns a personal identification number on our server and sends it to
your computer in the form of a small text file, called a "cookie." The use
of this cookie allows you to visit our participating web sites without having to sign in
to each site.
Use of your Personal Information
We use your personal information for four primary purposes:
We occasionally hire other companies to provide limited services on our behalf,
including packaging, mailing and delivering purchases, answering customer questions about
products or services, sending postal mail and processing event registration. We will
not provide those companies personal information. They also may need to
deliver our service, however, they are prohibited from using that information for any
other purpose.
AEUSP will disclose your personal information, without notice, only if required to do so
by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to:
(a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on AEUSP or the site;
(b) protect and defend the rights or property of AEUSP and its family of Web sites, and,
(c) act in urgent circumstances to protect
the personal safety of users of AEUSP, its Web sites, or the public.
Control of your Personal Information
When you register, or otherwise give us personal information, AEUSP.com will not share
that information with third parties without your permission, other than for the limited
exceptions already listed. It will only be used for the purposes stated above.
Registering also allows you to tell us how or whether you want AEUSP.com to communicate
with you. After registering, view our site to decide what information you want to receive
and how you want to receive it. Or you can tell us not to contact you.
AEUSP.com occasionally allows other companies to offer our registered customers
information about their products and services, using postal mail only. If you do not want
to receive these offers, you should notify us of this immediately stating, "I do not want to receive
partnered information or additional services or products."
