| Privacy
Policy
As
of January, 2002
Ann Arbor Sensor Systems, LLC (AAS2) is committed to
respecting your privacy. We've structured our websites
so that, in general, you can visit AAS2 on the Web without
identifying yourself or revealing any personal information.
Our servers, like most, track visitors’ IP addresses
and referring addresses (the site you came from), but
this information is used to administrate and/or to diagnose
problems with our server, and to gather demographic
information about our visitors. Once you choose to provide
us personally identifiable information (any information
by which you can be identified), you can be assured
that it will only be used to support your customer relationship
with AAS2. As our e_commerce implication is developed,
this information is used to identify you and to keep
track of your shopping cart. This information is not
used to send unrequested solicitations nor is it sold
to third parties.
This
statement regarding the privacy of the information you
provide online covers five main areas: Awareness, Choice,
Access & Accuracy, Security, and Oversight.
Awareness:
AAS2 provides this Online Privacy Statement to make
you aware of our privacy policy and practices and of
the choices you can make about the way your information
is collected and used. To make this notice easy to find,
we make it available on our homepage and the bottom
of every aas2.com webpage.
What
We Collect: On some AAS2 web pages, you can order products,
make requests, and register to receive materials. The
types of personal information collected at these pages
are name, contact and billing information, transaction,
and credit card information.
In
order to tailor our subsequent communications to you
and continuously improve our products and services,
we may also ask you to voluntarily provide us with information
regarding your personal or professional interests, demographics,
experience with our products, and contact preferences.
How
We Use it: AAS2 uses your information to better understand
your needs and provide you with better service. Specifically,
we use your information to help you complete a transaction,
to communicate back to you, to update you on service
and benefits, and to personalize our web site for you.
Credit card numbers are used only for payment processing
and are not retained for other purposes.
From
time to time, we may also use your information to contact
you for market research or to provide you with marketing
information we think would be of particular interest.
At a minimum, we will always give you the opportunity
to opt out of receiving such direct marketing or market
research contact. We will also follow local requirements,
such as allowing you to opt in before receiving unsolicited
contact, where applicable.
Data
collected online may also be combined with information
you provide when you register your ownership of AAS2
products.
Who
We Share It With: AAS2 will not sell, rent, or lease
your personally identifiable information to others.
Unless we have your permission or are required by law,
we will only share the personal data you provide online
with other AAS2 entities and/or business partners who
are acting on our behalf to complete the activities
described above. Such AAS2 entities and/or business
partners, including those located in other countries,
are governed by our privacy policies with respect to
the use of this data.
Choice:
AAS2 will not use or share the personally identifiable
information provided to us online in ways unrelated
to the ones described above without letting you know
and offering you a choice. As previously stated, we
will also provide you the opportunity to let us know
if you do not wish to receive unsolicited direct marketing
materials from us and we will do everything we can to
honor such requests.
Your
permission is always secured first, should we ever share
your information with third parties that are not acting
on our behalf and governed by our privacy policy. For
example, as part of AAS2’’s commitment to
offering you choice, we enable you to make online purchases
directly from us or through our resellers. When you
choose our resellers, we inform you that your registration
and shopping basket data is being transferred to the
reseller you selected. This notice is important because
when you choose to have your registration and shopping
basket data transferred to the reseller, use of that
data by the reseller is then governed by their privacy
policy.
Access
& Accuracy: AAS2 strives to keep your personally
identifiable information accurate. We make every effort
to provide you with online access to your registration
data so that you may update or correct your information
at the AAS2 site where it was submitted. To protect
your privacy and security, we will also take reasonable
steps to verify your identity before granting you access
or enabling you to make corrections.
Security:
AAS2 is committed to ensuring the security of your information.
To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy,
and ensure the appropriate use of information, we have
put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial
procedures to safeguard and secure the information we
collect online. We use encryption when collecting or
transferring sensitive data such as credit card information.
Oversight:
If you have comments or questions about our privacy
policy, please send them to privacy@aas2.com.
