Privacy Policy
We at Arlington Scott, Inc. ("A.S.I.") are committed to good privacy practices
regarding your personal information. Your loyalty as a visitor, member, or
customer is important, and we hope that our concerns regarding your privacy, as
described in this policy (the "Privacy Policy" or "Policy"), demonstrate our
commitment to making your A.S.I. Internet experience an enjoyable and
satisfying one.
Although A.S.I. respects the privacy of all those who visit our Web site and
use our online services, we do collect information from our visitors, members,
and customers. This Privacy Policy governs your interaction with the A.S.I. web
site, and your registration for and use of A.S.I. online services
(collectively, the "Services"). Except as set forth within this Privacy Policy
and our Terms of Service and other published guidelines, we do not release
personally identifiable information about out members and visitors without
their permission.
Note that, by using the Services, you signify your agreement to this Privacy
Policy. If you do not agree to this Policy, please do not use the Services.
Your continued use of the Services subsequent to changes to this Policy will
mean that you accept the changes; therefore, please bookmark this page and
review it frequently. If you have any questions regarding this Privacy Policy,
or any other privacy issues in connection with the Services, please e-mail us

The information we gather.
-
A.S.I. gathers two types of information about users:
-
Non-personally identifiable information (information that does not identify a
specific individual): When visitors use the Services, we collect and aggregate
information indicating, among other things, which pages were visited, the order
in which they were visited, and which links were "clicked." Collecting such
information involves the collection and logging of IP addresses, operating
system, and browser software used by each user of the Services. Although such
information is not personally identifiable, we can determine from the IP
address a visitor's Internet Service Provider and the geographic location of
his or her point of connectivity.
The non-personally identifiable information we collect helps us identify the
most popular areas of our web site .
We collect non-personally identifiable information in part through the use of
"cookies" - that is, small text files placed on your computer's hard
drive. Essentially, cookies are your identification cards for the A.S.I.
computers, or servers, that placed them there. Cookies are only read by the
server that placed them, and are unable to execute any code or virus; they will
not permit a Web site operator to learn any personally identifiable information
(see below) about you unless you have previously provided that information to
the Web site operator or you have set the preferences in your browser to
provide this information.
Cookies allow A.S.I. to serve you better and more efficiently, and to
personalize your experience with the Services - for example, by allowing us to
save your password so that you do not have to reenter it each time you use the
Services. 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 so,
please refer to the documentation accompanying your browser.
-
Personally identifiable information: In certain areas of the Services - such as
those in which you register we may request that you provide us with certain
personally identifiable information, such as your e-mail address as well as
certain information such as your name, address, zip code.
-
How we use (and do not use) the information we gather. Please take some time to
familiarize yourself with the different ways we use the information we gather.
Keep in mind that, while A.S.I. encourages all third parties involved - to
adhere to our policies regarding the privacy of our visitors and members and to
otherwise handle personal information in a responsible manner, we cannot and do
not assume any responsibility for any actions or omissions of third parties,
including the manner in which they use information received either from A.S.I.
or independently. Nevertheless, in the event you encounter any third party
associated with, or who claims association with A.S.I., who you feel is
improperly collecting or using information about you, please contact
privacy@arlingtonscott.com; we will be happy to forward your message to the
third party.
-
How we use (and do not use) non-personally identifiable information: We use
non-personally identifiable information in aggregate form to build higher
quality, more useful Services by performing statistical analyses of the
collective characteristics and behavior of our visitors and members, and by
measuring demographics and interests regarding specific areas of the Services.
We may provide statistical information based on this data to advertisers and
other current and potential business partners. We may also use the aggregate
data to inform these third parties as to the number of people who have seen and
clicked through links to their sites.
-
How we use (and do not use) personally identifiable information: Please note
that A.S.I. reserves the right to disclose information submitted by or
concerning any visitor or member as we reasonably feel is necessary to protect
our systems or business. Specifically, but without limitation, we reserve the
right to disclose such information when a visitor or member is in violation of
our Terms of Use or other published guidelines, or partakes (or is reasonably
suspected of partaking) in any harmful, infringing or 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, as well as in response to
allegations of infringement. We cooperate with law enforcement agencies in
identifying those who may be using our servers or services for illegal
activities. We also reserve the right to report any suspected illegal activity
to law enforcement for investigation or prosecution, or to suspend or terminate
your membership in connection with any suspected illegal or infringing
activity. Finally, A.S.I. reserves the right to assign, sell, license, or
otherwise transfer to a third party your personally identifiable information in
connection with an assignment, sale, joint venture, or other transfer or
disposition of any portion or all of A.S.I.'s or its affiliated entities.
Subject to the foregoing, A.S.I. uses your personally identifying information
in limited ways:
to our contractors and consultants, and professional advisors (such as
attorneys or accountants), but only to the extent necessary for them to perform
services on our behalf, and only under a duty of confidentiality.
-
Deleting or correcting personal information. If you would like to have your
personally identifiable information removed from A.S.I.'s database, or would
like to correct an error in such information, please contact us at
privacy@arlingtonscott.com, and we will use reasonable efforts to comply with
your request. Keep in mind, however, that there will be residual information
that will remain within A.S.I. databases, access logs, and other records, which
may or may not contain such personally identifiable information. The residual
information will not be used for commercial purposes; however A.S.I. reserves
the right, from time to time, to re-contact former customers or users of
A.S.I..
