Information that can identify any online visitor is collected only when voluntarily offered by the visitor. In cases where AAG may need personal information to provide visitors with products and/or services tailored specifically for them, or to inform then about new features, products and/or services, visitors are asked explicitly for that information. AAG web site uses several order forms for members and visitors to request information, products, and services. Personal contact information (such as first and last name, e-mail addresses, phone numbers, etc.) and billing data (such as account or credit card numbers) is collected. The latter is used only to effect billing for products and services ordered by the member or visitor. Other contact information from the order form may be used to send orders and information about AAG to our members and web visitors. We will not disclose any of your personal information unless you authorize us to do so, the law requires it, or to protect the rights or property of AAG.
AAG's Web site employs an optional "E-mail newsletter" mechanism through which members and visitors provide their E-mail address to allow the electronic transmission of company, product and/or service updates. Members and visitors also have the option of providing additional information that will only be used for internal purposes and not sold and/or leased to third parties.
AAG's Web site also may collect non-personal information from online visitors in order to track the total of number of visitors to the site in aggregate form, identify the type of Internet browser (e.g., Netscape®; Internet Explorer®) and operating system (e.g., Windows®, Macintosh®, etc.) used by the visitor and/or to continuously improve the design of our Web site. For example, we may tell a third party advertiser that X number of individuals visited a certain area on our web site, or that Y number of men and Z number of women filled out our registration form, but we would never disclose anything that could be used to identify those individuals.
