Authorized Services of New England (ASNE) is committed to protecting your privacy. This Statement of Privacy applies to the ASNE website and governs data collection and usage. By using the ASNE website, you consent to the data practices described in this statement.
Collection of your Personal Information
ASNE collects personally identifiable information, such as your e-mail address, name, home and/or work address and/or telephone number. ASNE also collects anonymous demographic information, which is not unique to you, such as your ZIP code, age, gender, preferences, interests and favorites.
There is also information about your computer hardware and software that is automatically collected by ASNE. This information can include: your IP address, browser type, domain names, access times and referring website addresses. This information is used by ASNE for the operation of the service, to maintain quality of the service, and to provide general statistics regarding use of the ASNE website.
ASNE encourages you to review the privacy statements of websites you choose to link to from ASNE so that you can understand how those websites collect, use and share your information. ASNE is not responsible for the privacy statements or other content on websites outside of the ASNE and ASNE family of websites or the use of your information by such outside websites.
Traffic Analysis
ASNE uses software programs to analyze traffic to this Web site. These programs collect aggregate data, not personal information.
Use of your Personal Information
ASNE collects and uses your personal information to operate the ASNE website and deliver the services you have requested. ASNE may also use your personally identifiable information to inform you of other products or services available from ASNE and its affiliates. ASNE may also contact you via surveys to conduct research about your opinion of current services or of potential new services.
ASNE does not sell, rent or lease its customer lists to third parties. ASNE may, from time to time, contact you on behalf of external business partners about a particular offering that may be of interest to you. In those cases, your unique personally identifiable information (e-mail, name, address, telephone number) is not transferred to the third party. In addition, ASNE does not use or disclose sensitive personal information, such as race, religion, or political affiliations, without your explicit consent.
ASNE keeps track of the websites and pages you visit within ASNE, in order to determine what ASNE services are the most popular. This data is used to deliver customized content and advertising within ASNE to customers whose behavior indicates that they are interested in a particular subject area.
ASNE websites will disclose your personal information, without notice, only if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on ASNE or the site; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of ASNE (including enforcing this agreement); and, (c) act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of ASNE, or the public.
Use of Cookies
The ASNE website use "cookies" to help you personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web page server. Cookies are not used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize ASNE pages, or register with ASNE site or services, a cookie helps ASNE to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the same ASNE website, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the ASNE features that you customized.
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the ASNE services or websites you visit.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at info@asne.com.
Security of your Personal Information
No method of safeguarding information is 100% secure. ASNE uses a variety of security technologies and procedures to help protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. ASNE secures the personally identifiable information you provide on computer servers in a controlled, secure environment, protected from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. When personal information (such as a credit card number) is transmitted to other websites, it is protected through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.
Changes to this Statement
ASNE will occasionally update this Statement of Privacy to reflect company and customer feedback. ASNE encourages you to periodically review this Statement to be informed of how ASNE is protecting your information. When such a change is made, we will update the "Last Updated" date above.
