Privacy Statement

Alternate Memories is committed to protecting and respecting your privacy. This Privacy Statement sets out our privacy policy and explains what we do with the personal information that we collect from our users. Please read the following to understand our views and practices regarding personal information, and how they pertain to you as you use our various features and services. This statement discloses the current privacy practices for our Web sites. If we make any substantive changes to this policy, we'll announce it on our sites. If you have any questions or concerns regarding this statement, you should contact Alternate Memories's site coordinator.

What information does Alternate Memories gather?

There are times when Alternate Memories may need to gather specific information from you such as your name and address, among other personal information. Information that is essential for Alternate Memories to provide the services and/or products that are requested by you is generally designated as "Required". Additional information that would allow Alternate Memories flexibility in providing its services or products, and may be used for internal statistical studies or market research, is generally indicated as "Optional". For example, a credit card number is required when ordering a product, whereas a fax number may not be essential, but would provide another means of communication between you and Alternate Memories.

The choice of how much personally identifiable information you disclose to Alternate Memories is completely at your discretion. It is never mandatory for you to answer any question, although it may limit the services and products that Alternate Memories is able to offer.

How does Alternate Memories use personal information?

When you submit personal information to Alternate Memories, you understand that you are agreeing to allow Alternate Memories, its subsidiaries, and its affiliates, access to, storage of, and use of, the data in any of the countries where Alternate Memories, its subsidiaries, and its affiliates, do business. Alternate Memories may use the personal information you submit for any purposes related to Alternate Memories's business, including, but not limited to, generating statistical studies, conducting market research, improving its products and services, sending you surveys, and notifying you of product upgrades and updates, new products, special offers, seminars and conventions and any other changes within Alternate Memories may affect you.

Does Alternate Memories share the information that it gathers with third parties?

Alternate Memories only shares the information with other Alternate Memories agents. Should you decide you would not like your information shared, please use the contact information below to request that Alternate Memories deactivate you from its lists. Please note, however, that certain customer records must be maintained by their respective resellers and by Alternate Memories for accountability reasons. If you continue to receive materials from third parties after informing Alternate Memories to deactivate your name, please notify the particular third parties regarding deactivation of your personal information.

Cookies and web beacons

We also use third party advertisements on allaboutethio.com to support our site. Some of these advertisers may use technology such as cookies and web beacons when they advertise on our site, which will also send these advertisers (such as Google through the Google Adsense program) information including your IP address, your ISP, the browser you used to visit our site, and in some cases, whether you have Flash installed. This is generally used for geotargeting purposes (showing Virginia real estate ads to someone in Virginia, for example) or showing certain ads based on specific sites visited (such as showing fishing ads to someone who frequents fishing sites).

You can choose to disable or selectively turn off our cookies or third-party cookies in your browser settings, or by managing preferences in programs such as Norton Internet Security. However, this can affect how you are able to interact with our site as well as other websites. This could include the inability to login to services or programs, such as logging into forums or accounts.

Links to other sites

Our Service may contain links to other sites that are not operated by us. If you click on a third party link, you will be directed to that third party's site. We strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy of every site you visit.

We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies or practices of any third party sites or services.

What is Alternate Memories's commitment to data security? 

Alternate Memories recognizes your concern for security, and will use reasonable efforts to establish secure connections with you and to limit access to databases containing personal information to authorized personnel only.
