What personal information is collected from you

In general, you can visit Advanced Technologies on the Internet without telling us who you are and without giving any personal information about yourself. There are times, however, when we and/or our partners may need information from you.

You may choose to give us personal information in a variety of situations. For example, you may want to give us information, such as your name and address or e-mail address to correspond with you, to process an order, or to provide you with a subscription. You may give us your credit card details to buy something from us. We intend to let you know how we will use such information before we collect it from you; if you tell us that you do not want us to use this information to make further contact with you beyond fulfilling your requests, we will respect your wishes. If you give us personal information about somebody else, such as a spouse or work colleague, we will assume that you have their permission to do so.

How Advanced Technologies uses the information collected from you

When we receive such information about your session or about you, we may use it for research, or to improve our site and the services we offer you. We will ask you if you want us to use the information you provide to continue contact with you, either via email. We will not contact you unless you give us specific permission to do so.

What cookies are, and how we use them

We sometimes collect non-identifiable information from visits to our Web sites to help us provide better customer service. For example, we keep track of the domains from which people visit, and we also measure visitor activity on Advanced Technologies Web sites, but we do so in ways that keep the information non-identifiable. This information is sometimes known as "clickstream data." Advanced Technologies or others on Advanced Technologies behalf may use this data to analyze trends and statistics and to help us provide better customer service.

Also, when we collect personal data from you in a transaction, we may extract some information about that transaction in an non-identifiable format and combine it with other non-identifiable information such as clickstream data. This information is used and analyzed only at an aggregate level to help us understand trends and patterns. This information is not reviewed at an individual level. If you do not want your transaction details used in this manner you can disable your cookies.

We collect the information we mentioned in the previous paragraphs through the use of various technologies, including one called "cookies". A cookie is a piece of data that a Web site can send to your browser, which may then be stored on your computer as an anonymous tag that identifies your computer but not you. Some Advanced Technologies pages use cookies, sent by Advanced Technologies or its third party vendors, or other technologies to better serve you when you return to the Web site. You can set your browser to notify you before you receive a cookie, giving you the chance to decide whether to accept it. You can also set your browser to turn off cookies. If you do so, however, some Web sites may not work properly.

Who is collecting this information and with whom is it shared

When you are at the Advanced Technologies site and are asked for personal information, you are sharing that information only with Advanced Technologies and our business partners, unless otherwise specified. For example, if you are ordering something through the online store, we will be sharing your information with our manufacturing and shipping partners to ensure the package is delivered to you, and we will be sharing your credit card with number with other financial partners to affect payment. This is to enable the transaction to take place.

The other circumstance under which Advanced Technologies may disclose your personal information to another party is when we believe in good faith that the law requires such a disclosure. For example, we will share such information if we have reason to believe that the information is necessary to identify, contact, or bring legal action against someone who may be either causing injury to, or interference with Advanced Technologies rights or property, other Advanced Technologies customers or affiliates, or anyone else accessing the Web site. Please keep in mind that any other Web site that may be linked to our site may collect personally identifiable information about you. The data collection practices of those Web sites are not covered by the Advanced Technologies privacy policy.

The kind of security precautions that are in place

We intend to protect your personal information and to maintain its quality. We implement appropriate measures and processes, such as using encryption when transmitting certain sensitive information, to help us to keep your information secure and to maintain its quality.
