Therefore, this policy has been established to communicate with you our commitment to your privacy as well as how your information will by used by our organization.

Data Collection
When you use ASSE's on-line resources, information may be collected in 3 different ways:

· Web Site Traffic—Web site traffic is collected by our web server. It tells us where individuals go on our site, which pages are most popular, etc. It helps us to analyze the effectiveness of our site and guides us in making it a better resource for you. While there are methods to track this activity to a specific computer, because we are only interested in the mass statistics, we do not collect that level of information.

· Cookies—Cookies allow web sites to maintain personal information and/or on-line history on an individual's computer. This information when read by a web server, allows the site to be customized to every user. At this time ASSE's web site uses cookies in a limited fashion to facilitate login. These cookies do not collect information about the user or computer that is accessing the ASSE site. The cookie information is not collected by the ASSE web server.

· Request For Information—An individual can request information from ASSE by navigating to the appropriate page and entering the personal information indicated. In doing so,the user recognizes he/she is doing so voluntarily. The information collection falls into two categories: That which is required to be certain the information can properly get to the requester, and that which is voluntary and meant to assist ASSE staff with the task of delivering exactly what the individual wants.

We do not knowingly collect information from children. All requests for information are assumed to be from adults. If we determine that any information has been collected from children, we will immediately purge it.

Data Analysis
As indicated above, we will collect usage statistics from our web server as one of several analysis methods to make our site more useful to our users. Again, this information will be collected and handled at the mass statistical/anonymous level. Individual statistics will not be collected.

No other analysis of information collected from our site will be performed.

Data Sharing
While we will make every effort to protect and preserve your privacy, we may need to disclose some or all of it when required to do so by law or an order by judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process served on us and/or our web site. In these cases, we will only share the information when we have a good-faith belief that doing so is necessary to legally comply.

In the event that ASSE merges with, is acquired by, or sells some of its assets to another company, the information that has been collected from this site will be transferred as part of the transaction.

In all other cases, ASSE will not share or distribute your personal information with any third party.

AIHA's Privacy Statement

Aiha.org does not collect personally identifiable information about individuals without the knowledge of that individual. However, aiha.org will collect and record information that is volunteered by a user of the site. For example, volunteered information may be gathered when a user is presented with a blank field and voluntarily inputs personal information and submits that information to aiha.org. Such volunteered information may be updated at any time by the user. Also, at the request of a user, aiha.org will use commercially reasonable efforts to delete the user from its database.

Please note, such commercially reasonable efforts may not include the deletion of a user's entry from back-up files and records of deletions. Information from back-up files and records of deletion are never allowed for external use. Aiha.org will not divulge information on the individual user to any unaffiliated third party unless the user provides aiha.org with permission from the user to do so. At each point where the user has opportunity to volunteer information on the aiha.org web site, the user will be given the option to opt-out of receiving any promotional or other marketing information from aiha.org or any other third party. Further, if the user should initially choose to receive such material, the user may later opt-out of the receipt of additional materials at any time.

Aiha.org also gathers certain non-personal information regarding users as a consequence of maintaining the operation of the aiha.org web site. The standard operation of aiha.org's internet servers requires the collection of certain non-personal information of its users.

Aiha.org may also use "cookies" in the operation of its web site. Generally, cookies work by assigning a unique number to the user that has no meaning outside the assigning site. The cookie tracks an individual's usage of the site to facilitate things such as site improvements, and customized services for the user. Aiha.org cannot control the use of cookies or the resulting information by third parties that host aiha.org data. Users who browse to other web sites from aiha.org, may be susceptible to that web site’s cookie policy. Most browsers have a feature that can be used to disable cookies if a user does not want cookies to be used on them. Aiha.org may from time to time perform statistical analyses of user behavior and characteristics in order to measure interest in and use of the various areas of the aiha.org web site. This information may be disclosed to third parties; however, such information will only be provided in aggregated form. Aiha.org may use this aggregated information to inform advertisers of the usage of the aiha.org web site and the number of users that have been exposed to or clicked on their advertising banners. Also, aiha.org may allow other parties to offer various services on the aiha.org web site. Aiha.org is not responsible for actions taken by these parties and the user should take the time to review any such third party's privacy policy.

This Privacy Policy is effective as of September 30, 2000.

Aiha.org may change this policy at any time. This privacy policy does not create any contractual right on behalf of the user, aiha.org or any other party. Notwithstanding anything else provided herein, aiha.org reserves the right to contact users regarding their account status and other matters relevant to our service.
