AdvaTech is committed to implementing measures designed to protect
the privacy of those using our services. Although AdvaTech respects
the privacy of all those who visit our Site and use our online services,
we do collect information from and about our users. Except as set

The
Information We May Gather |
|
1) Non-personally-identifiable information:
(a) General:
When users come to our Site, we collect and aggregate information
indicating their home server, but not their e-mail addresses. Such
information helps us identify the most popular content and portions
of our Site and determine the effectiveness of our various promotional
activities. We aggregate such information for internal review and
thereafter it's superseded by more recent information.
(b) "Cookies":
We also use "cookies" -- that is, small text files placed
on your computer's hard drive -- to help you in getting faster access
to this Site's contents, and to help us determine the type of content
you find of interest and the sites to which you link, the length
of time you spend at any particular area of this Site, and the particular
AdvaTech services you choose to use. Cookies are only read by the
server that placed them, and are unable to execute any code or virus.
Cookies allow AdvaTech to serve you better, and to personalize your
Web-browsing experience. Nevertheless, you should be able to control
how and whether cookies will be accepted by your Web browser. For
more information on how to do this, please refer to the documentation
accompanying your browser or third party Web sites.
2) Personally Identifiable Information:
(a) General:
In certain areas of this Site, we require that you provide us with
personally-identifiable information, in order to be able to use
that portion or those portions of this Site. For instance, the names
and contact information of persons who visit our Web sites are added
to our database so that, for example, they may be contacted in the future regarding
AdvaTech's products, services or future opportunities. Such contact
may occur by email, telephone or mail, as AdvaTech deems appropriate.
(b) Lack of AdvaTech Responsibility
For Third Party Content On Site:
AdvaTech cannot and does not control the acts of the users of its
Web site's services or monitor the accuracy of postings by such
users. All users should be aware that, when they disclose personally
identifiable information in a bulletin board, chat room, or other
forum or public area of this Site, the information might be collected,
circulated, and used by others. In the event that you encounter
any user who is improperly collecting or using information about
you or other users, please call 469.272.5000 or email info@AdvaTech.com.

How
We Use The Information We Gather |
-
How We Use Non-Personally Identifiable Information:
We aggregate data on users' home servers for internal review
purposes, in order to build higher quality, more useful online
services and better products, e.g., by performing statistical
analyses of the collective characteristics and behavior of our
users. Following such internal review, such aggregated information
is then superseded by more recent information.
-
How We Use Personally-Identifiable Information:
AdvaTech provides notice to users that personally-identifiable
(i.e., non-aggregated) information will be collected during
the Web-browsing process; this Privacy Policy also serves as
notice that such information is collected under those circumstances.
AdvaTech may use such information to enhance your experience
by providing such information to appropriate third parties,
including any outsourcers, as reviewed and selected by AdvaTech.
|
AdvaTech reserves the right to disclose information
contained in our access logs concerning any user as we reasonably
feel is necessary to protect our systems or business. In particular,
we reserve the right to disclose such when a user is in violation
of our current or later Terms of Service or other published guidelines,
or initiates or participates (or is reasonably believed so) in any
illegal activity, even without a subpoena, warrant, or other court
order, and to disclose such information in response to court and governmental
orders, civil subpoenas, discovery requests, and as otherwise required
by law.
In reviewing the information above, please keep in mind that AdvaTech
cannot and does not assume any responsibility for any actions or
omissions of third parties, including other Site users, including
the manner in which they might use information received either from
AdvaTech or independently.
