Privacy /
Terms Of Use
Applied Concepts & Technologies Corp. is very sensitive to the privacy concerns of visitors of all ages to our web site, and is committed to safeguarding any personal information collected online. Because many of our web site visitors are children, we make an effort to develop content that is suitable for children. We also take measures to help safeguard children's privacy while online at our web site. The following information is a summary of our information collection and use practices, which may vary from time to time. We hope that this information will help our visitors of all ages to have a rewarding experience on line.
Collection of Information
As a general policy, we do not automatically collect personal information from visitors to our site. Of course, certain non-personal information of visitors is recorded by the standard operation of our Internet servers. This information is used primarily to provide an enhanced online experience for the visitor. Information tracked includes the type of operating system in use (e.g., Macintosh, Windows) and the type of browser being used by the visitor (e.g., Netscape, Internet Explorer). Other uses of this information include internal review of the number of visitors to the site - but only in an aggregate and non-personally identifiable form.
We sometimes collect personally identifiable information regarding visitors to our web site (such as e-mail address, first and last name, age, gender, home or other physical address, or telephone number, hobbies and preferences) but ONLY when visitors voluntarily submit such information to us. For example, we may collect such information when visitors register for clubs, sweepstakes or contests, or when visitors submit content or suggestions to us.
Use of Information
We may use information we collect, including personally identifiable information voluntarily submitted to us by our visitors, for any of the following purposes: (1) to help us better understand visitors' use of our site; (2) to improve the design and content of our site; (3) to respond to specific requests from our visitors; (4) to obtain parental consent from visitors under 18 years of age, whenever necessary; (5) to provide any necessary notices to our visitors or their parents or guardians, whenever necessary; (6) to protect the security or integrity of our site when necessary; (7) to fulfill prizes; (8) to fulfill club materials; and (9) to offer programs, products and services. We will not use personally identifiable information in ways that are materially different from the uses described above, without notifying visitors of such use, and obtaining parental consent whenever necessary for any such use.
Sharing of Information with Third Parties
Unless otherwise disclosed more specifically during our collection of information, we generally do not disclose information we collect to third parties outside of Applied Concepts & Technologies Corp., except when disclosure may be required by law, or when requested by a law enforcement agency. Sometimes, we may use agents or contractors outside of Applied Concepts & Technologies Corp. to help us provide services to visitors to our web site, such as when we conduct contests or promotions. In these cases, we require that the agents and contractors we use also keep the information confidential and that they use the information ONLY in connection with the specific services they are providing for us. We will not transfer or otherwise disclose personally identifiable information in ways that are materially different from the types of transfers and disclosures described above, without notifying visitors of such transfers or disclosures, and obtaining parental consent whenever necessary for any such transfers or disclosures.
Applied Concepts & Technologies Corp. operates a variety of web sites which are accessible through Applied Concepts & Technologies Corp.'s home web site. To the extent that any of the other sites operated by Applied Concepts & Technologies Corp. and accessible through Applied Concepts & Technologies Corp.'s home web site have different information practices, those different practices will be stated and applicable at those sites. Applied Concepts & Technologies Corp., web sites also may contain links to web sites operated by others whose information practices may differ from Applied Concepts & Technologies Corp., practices. Visitors always should consult the privacy policies contained on other web sites they visit because those sites ARE NOT COVERED by Applied Concepts & Technologies Corp., privacy policy and may follow procedures that are different from Applied Concepts & Technologies Corp., information practices.
