We collect this information through "cookie" technology as explained below.

We use browser cookies on this Web site. Browser cookies are bits of text that are placed on your computer's hard drive when you visit certain web sites. We use browser cookies to tell us, for example, whether you've visited us before or if you're a new visitor and to help us identify site features in which you may have the greatest interest. Browser cookies may enhance your online experience by saving your preferences while you are visiting a particular site, and cookies allows registered users to avoid reentering information upon every new visit to our site. Please consult your browser's Help section to stop accepting cookies.

In addition, in certain sections of this Web site, you may complete a registration form or profile, participate in surveys or questionnaires, provide us with feedback, contact us with questions, comments, or request information. Due to the nature of some of these activities, we may collect personally identifiable information about you such as your name, address, email address, phone number, username, password, gender, and other contact information that you voluntarily transmit with your communication to us. AGSE may also collect information that you provide to us when you contact us (via phone, email or other method of requesting assistance) or that you voluntarily post in our spaces available from our Web site.

Information Use: Any information you provide to us at this Web site when you establish/update an account or request information (i.e., name, address, e-mail address and telephone number), is maintained in private files on our secure Web server and our internal systems.

If personally identifiable information (i.e., name, address, e-mail address and telephone number) is provided to any of these third parties, we will require that such information be maintained by them in strictest confidence.

We may participate with certain reputable companies who offer you the ability to establish a membership that would enable you to participate in digital wallets, payment services or rewards programs. In this regard, if you elect to establish membership in a program sponsored by one of these companies, we would disclose only the information to them required to make their program work and support your membership with them (typically name of the user).

Article 26 of the European Union's Data Protection Directive (Directive 95/46/EC, 1995 O.J. (L 281) 31) allows for transfer of personal data from the European Union to a third country if the individual has unambiguously given his or her consent to the transfer of personal information, regardless of the third country's level of protection. By agreeing to the terms of use and this Privacy Policy, you consent to the transfer of all such information to the United States of America which may not offer an equivalent level of protection to that required in the European Union and to the processing of that information by AGSE on its servers located in the United States of America as described in this Privacy Policy.
