PLEASE READ THIS
AGREEMENT CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THIS SITE.
This This Privacy Policy ("Privacy Policy")
discloses the privacy practices for
Americast Metal Products, Inc. ("AMPI")
with regard to your ("You" or "Your")
use of this web site (www.americastmetal.com)
(the "Site"). AMPI is committed to Your
privacy.
AMPI hereby
notifies You of:
1. What personally identifiable
information of Yours is collected from
You through this Site and How the
Information is Used.
2. How the information may be shared.
3. How AMPI protects Your information.
4. How You can correct any inaccuracies
in the information.
I. WHAT
PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION OF
YOURS IS COLLECTED AND HOW THE
INFORMATION IS USED.
a. Information
Collection and Use
AMPI is the sole owner of the
information collected on this site. AMPI
will not sell, share, transfer or rent
this information to others in ways
different from what is disclosed in this
Privacy Policy.
b. Registration
For certain parts of this site, your
contact information (such as name,
e-mail address and/or present location)
will be collected. Such information
allows AMPI to process and fulfill Your
request. Your contact information is
also used to confirm Your identity and
to contact You about the services on the
Site for which You may have expressed
interest. When the Site requests Your
identity, the Site will clearly indicate
the purpose of the inquiry before the
information is requested.
c. IP Addresses
Every computer connected to the Internet
is given a domain name and a set of
numbers that serve as that computer's
"Internet Protocol" or IP address. When
You request a page from any page within
the Site, our Web servers automatically
recognize Your domain name and IP
address. The domain name and IP address
reveal nothing personal about You other
than the IP address from which You have
accessed the Site. AMPI may use IP
addresses to analyze trends, administer
the Site, track Your movement, and
gather broad demographic information for
aggregate use.
d. Children's
and Minor's Privacy
Protecting the privacy of the very young
is uniquely important, particularly on
the Internet. The Site is designed to
provide commercial business information
and services for adults. This Site is
not designed to attract minors, in
particular children under the age of 13.
AMPI does not market to or knowingly
collect information from anyone under
the age of 13. Children should always
get permission from their parents before
sending any information about themselves
(such as their names, email addresses,
and phone numbers) to anyone over the
Internet.
e. Opt Out
Procedures
You may opt-out of receiving
communications from AMPI at the point
where the Site requests personally
identifiable information about You.
Contact
clumpkin@americastmetal.com to be
removed from an e-mail list. If You are
using an e-mail forwarding service or
other similar service please make sure
to include the correct e-mail address or
addresses.
f. Cookies
A cookie is a small piece of data that
is sent to Your browser from a Web
server and stored on Your computer's
hard drive. A cookie cannot read data
off Your hard disk or read cookie files
created by other sites. Use of a cookie
is in no way linked to any personally
identifiable information while on the
Site. Once You close Your browser, the
cookie simply terminates. For instance,
by setting a cookie on the Site, You
would not have to log in a password more
than once, thereby saving time while on
the Site.
You can choose whether to accept cookies
by changing the setting of Your browser.
You can reset your Browser to refuse all
cookies or allow Your browser to show
You when a cookie is being sent. If You
reject the cookies on the Site, You may
still use the Site. The only drawback to
this is that the user may be limited in
some areas of this Site. Some of AMPI's
business partners may use cookies on the
Site. However, AMPI has no access to or
control over these cookies. AMPI and its
business partners may use cookies to
better personalize the content, banners,
and/or promotions that You see on the
Site.
II. HOW
INFORMATION MAY BE SHARED.
a. Sharing
AMPI may share aggregated
demographic information with AMPI's
partners. This is not linked to any
personal information that can identify
any individual person. AMPI may partner
with another party to provide specific
services. When You sign up for these
services, AMPI will share names, or
other contact information that is
necessary for the third party to provide
these services. Per AMPI's contractual
arrangements with parties, these parties
are not allowed to use personally
identifiable information except for the
explicit purpose of providing these
services.
AMPI shall not be liable for the
transfer of any personal identification
information resulting from loss or
distribution of data, the delineation or
corruption of storage media, power
failures, natural phenomena, riots, acts
of vandalism, sabotage, terrorism or any
other event beyond AMPI's control.
b. Sale of
Assets, Merger, Acquisition, Bankruptcy
Information collected from You may be
transferred to a third party as a result
of a sale or acquisition, merger or
bankruptcy involving AMPI.
c. Spam
AMPI maintains a strict "No-Spam"
policy, which means that AMPI does not
intend to sell, rent or otherwise give
your e-mail address to a third party
without Your consent.
d. Legal
Requests
AMPI cooperates with law enforcement
inquiries, as well as other third
parties, to enforce laws and third party
rights, such as intellectual property
rights and laws relating to fraud.
Therefore, in response to a verified
request by law enforcement or other
government officials relating to a
criminal investigation or alleged
illegal activity, or other activity that
may expose AMPI or You to legal
liability, AMPI can (and You authorize
AMPI to) disclose Your personal data and
other information about You as AMPI, in
its sole discretion, believes necessary
or appropriate.
III. HOW AMPI
PROTECTS YOUR INFORMATION.
a.
Confidentiality and Security
AMPI protects Your personal
information off-line. Access to Your
personal information is limited to
employees who AMPI reasonably believes
will need that information to provide
services to You. However, AMPI is not
responsible for the confidentiality,
security or distribution of your own
personal information by our partners and
third parties outside the scope of our
agreement with such partners and third
parties.
b. Links
This Site may contain links to other
sites. The linked sites are not
necessarily under the control of AMPI.
Please be aware that AMPI is not
responsible for the privacy practices of
such other sites. AMPI encourages You to
be aware when You leave this Site and to
read the privacy policies of each and
every web site that collects personally
identifiable information. If You decide
to access any of the third-party sites
linked to this Site, You do this
entirely at your own risk. Any links to
any partner of the Site should be the
responsibility of the linking party, and
AMPI shall not be responsible for
notification of any change in name or
location of any information on the Site.
IV. CORRECTING
INACCURACIES.
a.
Correction/Updating Personal Information
If personally identifiable information
previously submitted to AMPI by You
changes (such as name, e-mail address
and/or present location), please e-mail
AMPI at
clumpkin@americastmetal.com.
b. Notification
of Changes
If AMPI decides to change the
Privacy Policy for this Site, AMPI will
post those changes on
www.americastmetal.com
so You are always aware of what
information AMPI collects, how AMPI uses
it, and under what circumstances, if
any, AMPI discloses it. If You have
provided personally identifiable
information before the changes in AMPI's
Privacy Policy, You will have a choice
as to whether or not AMPI uses Your
information in this different manner. If
You choose that AMPI not use Your
personally identifiable information in
accordance with the new privacy policy,
AMPI will use information in accordance
with the privacy policy under which the
information was originally collected.
c. Site and
Service Updates
As necessary, AMPI may send You Site and
service announcement updates. You are
not able to un-subscribe from service
announcements, which contain important
information about the Site. AMPI
communicates via e-mail with You to
provide requested services and to
resolve issues relating to Your
accounts.
d. Consent to
This Policy
By downloading Materials (as defined in
the Terms of Use which is incorporated
herein by reference) or Using Services
(as defined in the Terms of Use) or by
using this Site, you consent to the
collection and use of information by
AMPI as specified in this Privacy
Policy.
