What personal information is collected from you

For the most part, you can visit Advanced Technologies without telling us who you are, or any revealing information about yourself. IP address (e.g., whether the visitor is logged on from a .com, .gov, .edu, or any other domains), and the domain names (the Internet address of a computer) are logged to track a visitor's session. This gives us an idea of which of our sites are visited and how much time is spent there. We do not link IP addresses to anything possible identifiable. This means that a visitor's session will be tracked, but the visitor will be anonymous. The visitors browser also lets us know the type of computer and operating system being used (e.g., a Netscape browser on a Unix platform).

Sometimes, however, we ask you to voluntarily provide information about yourself. If you wish to contact us, or purchase products via the online store, or sign up for a mailing list, you will be asked to provide your name, email address, postal address, and possibly additional information. When you purchase products from the online store, for example, we collect shipping and billing addresses, and credit card information. Whenever Advanced Technologies collects personal information, we make an effort to include a link to this Privacy Policy on that page.

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

Please note that Advanced Technologies uses "cookies" in their collection of customer data. A cookie is a small file containing your personal information that is placed on your hard drive for record keeping purposes. Only that information which you provide to us is included in the cookie, and cookies cannot take any additional information from your hard drive. By using cookies, the Advanced Technologies Web site is able to recognize you when you revisit the site, and it is used to remember certain information about you, such as your preferences in the site. Cookies are placed in your browser for your convenience.

Who is collecting this information and with whom it is 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

Unfortunately, no data transmitted over the Internet can be guaranteed 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, Advanced Technologies, cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us from our online products or services, and  you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your information, we make all commercially reasonable efforts to ensure its security on our systems.
