PRIVACY POLICY

You must read this Privacy Policy, and related documents (the Terms of Use and the Acceptable Use Guidelines), carefully before accessing or using any of the AMS Web Sites (as hereinafter defined). By accessing or using the AMS Web Sites, you agree to be bound by this Privacy Policy and the Terms of Use and the Acceptable Use Guidelines and all the terms and conditions set forth herein and therein. If you wish not to be bound by these terms you must navigate away from any of the AMS Web Sites now, and you are prohibited from accessing and using such Web sites until such time as you are willing to be so bound. If you use the AMS Web Sites in a manner inconsistent with this Privacy Policy, the Terms of Use or the Acceptable Use Guidelines AMS may terminate your access, block your future access and/or seek such other additional relief as AMS, in its sole and reasonable discretion, shall determine. This Privacy Policy may be modified per its terms.

1. Information About Visitors to the AMS Web Sites

AMS keeps track of the Web sites and pages our visitors view within the AMS Web Sites to enable AMS to determine what sites and services are the most popular. This data can be used to deliver customized content and advertising to AMS’ customers and other visitors to the AMS Web Sites whose behavior indicates that they are interested in a specific subject area. AMS’ service may automatically gather certain usage information like the numbers and frequency of visitors to the AMS Web Sites and its pages, and AMS will only use information gathered in this manner in the aggregate to enable AMS to improve and better design the AMS Web Sites.

To facilitate the above, AMS Web sites may use a technology called “cookies” – small files attached to your Web browser – which tell AMS how and when pages in the AMS Web Sites are visited, and by how many people. AMS’ cookies do not collect personally identifiable information and do not combine information collected through cookies with other personally identifiable information, so users remain anonymous. AMS may also provide statistical “ratings” information in the aggregate (and never about individual users personally) to AMS’ partners about how visitors, collectively, use the AMS Web sites.

2. Use of Cookies

Some AMS Web Sites may use “cookies” to personalize users’ online experience. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to users’ computers. Cookies are uniquely assigned to individual users, and can only be read by a Web server in the domain that issued such cookies.

Among the primary purposes of cookies is to indicate to AMS’ Web server that a particular user has returned to a specific page and enables AMS’ Web servers to “remember” such users from prior visits – including any preferences such users may have established during such prior visits. This simplifies the process of recording personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, etc. When a visitor returns to the same AMS Web site, the information previously provided can be retrieved, so that such visitor can easily use the AMS Web Sites’ features previously customized.

Users have the ability and the right to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but users may be able to modify their browser settings to decline cookies or purchase third-party programs that provide such functionality. If a user chooses to decline cookies, such user may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the AMS Web Sites visited.

3. Use of Third Party Advertising

AMS sometimes enter contracts to provide space on the AMS Web Sites to third-party advertisers. AMS will never reveal users’ personal data or data about a user’s specific visits to the AMS Web Sites to such third-party advertisers. AMS reserves the right to provide information to such third-party advertisers about visitors to the AMS Web Sites in the aggregate, absent any personally-identifying information.

4. Information About You

AMS may request specific information about a user when such user signs up to use a service or orders a product through the AMS Web Sites. AMS does not sell, rent or lease its customer lists to third parties. AMS does, however, require specific information to enable provisioning of such service or product, to bill for the same, and to enable AMS to properly credit and maintain users’ accounts. Such information typically includes, but may not be limited to, name, age, Internet address or screen name, billing address, type of computer, phone number and perhaps a credit card number. AMS reserves the right to use such information to inform users of additional products and services which AMS believes they might be interested in learning about. In the event AMS exercises this right, users can opt not to receive such information by letting AMS know on the registration screen when signing up for the product or service. AMS may ask users to identify their interests to enable AMS to enrich users’ online experience; users may choose to respond or not. Additionally, AMS may offer users an opportunity to be listed in a directory on one of the AMS-branded services; such listings are also optional and users can edit or delete their listing information at their discretion.

AMS takes all reasonable precautions to prevent correlation of any user-sensitive data, such as race, age, religion, political affiliation, or sexual orientation, with personally identifiable data.

5. Security of Users’ Personal Information

AMS secures users’ personal information from unauthorized access, use or disclosure, and secures their personally identifiable information we receive from them on computer servers in a controlled, secure environment, protected from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. Personal information is transmitted to other Web sites through the use of Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encrypted protection.

6. Third Party Disclosure

AMS does not use or disclose information about users’ individual visits to AMS Web Sites or personal data that they may provide AMS, such as name, address, email address or telephone number, to any un-affiliated companies. AMS may share with our AMS Web Site partners aggregated ratings information about access to and use of AMS Web Sites, however, and AMS may utilize the services of trusted partners to assist in such statistical analysis. All such third parties are prohibited from using users’ personal information except to provide such services to AMS, and are required to maintain the confidentiality of users’ information.

AMS never discloses personal information without notice to the owner of such information unless required to do so (i) by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with the law and legal process, (ii) in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to protect the safety of an AMS Web Sites user or other AMS customer or the public generally, or (iii) in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to protect and defend the rights of AMS, its affiliates and subsidiaries.

7. Children & The Web

AMS does not specifically collect information about minors and believes that minors should get their parents’ consent before giving out any personal or sensitive information whether over the Internet or otherwise. AMS encourages parents to be engaged and proactive participants in their minor’s experience in cyberspace and otherwise, and to review important safety tips before their minor explores the Internet; AMS also encourages minors to consult with their parents before giving out information of any kind about themselves and their families whether on the Internet or otherwise. AMS supports and encourages the use of Web filtering technology to supervise and protect young minors’ access to online information.

8. Privacy Policy Changes

AMS reserves the right to update and change this Privacy Policy in light of both industry best-practices, user comments and its own discretion. Notice of changes to the Privacy Policy will be provided on the AMS Web Sites’ homepage (www.amsvoicecom.net). In the event AMS believes, in its sole discretion, that such changes materially change these policies, AMS will provide notice of such proposed changes prior to their being implemented; such notice shall appear on the AMS Web Sites’ homepage. Users are responsible for periodically reviewing these policies to ensure their continued comfort as to AMS’ handling of their confidential and identifying information.
