Collection and Use of Personal Information

Your privacy is important to us. The Site may collect personally identifiable information, such as your e-mail address, name, home, work address, or telephone number.  AMK9 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 AMK9. This information can include: your IP address, browser type, domain names, access times, and referring Website addresses. This information is used by AMK9 for the operation of the service, to maintain quality of the service, and to provide general statistics regarding use of the AMK9 Site.

AMK9 collects and uses your personal information to operate the AMK9 Site and deliver the services you have requested. Generally, we will not disclose or share any visitor information (including your e-mail address) with anyone outside AMK9 without your permission.  We may need to use your information if required to respond to a legal matter or when we believe in good faith that the law requires it, or to enforce our rights as agreed under the Terms of Use.  In all such efforts, we will take steps to safeguard your information. You agree that by submitting information to this Site you understand and freely consent to allow us to use, store, publish, transmit, and process this information at our discretion.

AMK9 is not responsible for the privacy statements or other content on Web sites outside of the AMK9 and AMK9 family of Sites.

Use of Cookies

The AMK9 Site uses “cookies” to help you personalize your online experience.  A cookie is a text-only string of information that a website transfers to the cookie file of the browser on your computer’s hard disk so that the website can remember who youare.  A cookie will typically contain the name of the domain from which the cookie has come, the “lifetime” of the cookie, and a value, usually a randomly generated unique number.  Cookies cannot be 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.

The only personal information a cookie can contain is information you supply yourself.  You can refuse cookies by turning them off in your browser.  Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser settings to decline cookies if you prefer.  If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience certain interactive features of the Site or access all of the services provided through the Site.

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 pages, or register with AMK9, a cookie helps AMK9
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, if applicable. When you return to the same AMK9 Site, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the AMK9 features that you customized.

Another primary purpose of cookies is to compile anonymous, aggregated statistics that allow us to understand how users use our Site and to help us improve the structure of our Site. We cannot identify you personally in this way.

Third Party Sites and Information

AMK9 does not sell, rent, or lease its customer lists to third parties.  AMK9 may share data with trusted partners to help us perform statistical analysis, send you e-mail or postal mail, provide customer support, or arrange for deliveries. All such third parties are prohibited from using your personal information except to provide these services to AMK9, and they are required to maintain the confidentiality of your information.

The Site may contain links to other Web sites that are run by third parties such as other organizations, sponsors, content providers and advertisers.  Once you have clicked on a link or button activator for an outside Site, you will leave the Site and be taken to sites that we do not control, and our privacy policy no longer applies on those sites.  Visitors should consult the other sites’ privacy notices as we have no control over information that is submitted to, or collected by, these third parties.  We are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such content providers or third-party sites.

Security of Your Personal Information

AMK9 secures your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. AMK9 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 is transmitted to other Web sites, we typically employ security measures, including technical, administrative, and physical security steps to protect the loss, misuse, and alteration of information under our control, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol and the use of encryption.

AMK9 cannot guarantee the security of your personal information.  You can do some things to help protect the security of your information:  never give out your password; always sign out of your account; and close your browser window when you finish visiting our Site.
