Privacy Policy
THIS PRIVACY POLICY IS ONLY FOR INFORMATION AI COLLECTS THROUGH
THE SITE. IT DOES NOT GOVERN INFORMATION COLLECTED BY AI THROUGH
OFF-LINE SOURCES, THIRD PARTIES, OR FROM OTHER WEBSITES MAINTAINED
OR SPONSORED BY AI. AI WILL CONTROL THE EXCHANGE, STORAGE, AND USE
OF SELECTED PERSONAL INFORMATION ABOUT YOU AS DESCRIBED IN THIS POLICY.
THE INFORMATION COLLECTED. THE SITE COLLECTS AND RETAINS TWO KINDS
OF INFORMATION ABOUT SITE VISITORS: (1) ANONYMOUS INFORMATION THAT
IS COLLECTED AUTOMATICALLY AND DOES NOT IDENTIFY ANY SPECIFIC USER,
SUCH AS LOG ON TIME AND PAGES ON THE SITE THAT ARE VISITED; AND (2)
CERTAIN PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION ABOUT USERS THAT IS
SUBMITTED.
VOLUNTARILY, SUCH AS NAMES AND E-MAIL ADDRESSES. THIS INFORMATION
MAY BE COLLECTED AND RETAINED IN DATABASES.
INFORMATION USED. THE INFORMATION GATHERED IS INTENDED TO HELP SERVE
SITE VISITORS BETTER BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, IMPROVING USER ACCESS, NAVIGATION,
AND COMMUNICATION.
(1) ANONYMOUS INFORMATION. THE ANONYMOUS INFORMATION COLLECTED MAY
BE USED TO CLOSELY MONITOR WHICH AREAS OF THE SITE ARE USED MOST AND
TO DETERMINE WHICH AREAS NEED IMPROVEMENT. THIS INFORMATION IS USED
EXCLUSIVELY IN AGGREGATE FORM SO THAT THE SITE CAN CONTINUE TO BE IMPROVED.
ANONYMOUS SITE USAGE STATISTICS MAY BE SHARED WITH OTHERS FOR ANY PURPOSE.
WEBSITE TRAFFIC ANALYSIS SOFTWARE MAY BE USED TO ANALYZE SITE TRAFFIC. SUCH
SOFTWARE DOES NOT CREATE INDIVIDUAL PROFILES OF VISITORS, BUT COLLECTS ONLY
AGGREGATE DATA.
THE SITE MAY ALSO USE COOKIE TECHNOLOGIES TO PROVIDE SIMPLIFIED ACCESS TO A
FEW AREAS OF THE SITE BY ALLOWING USERS TO SAVE THEIR DETAILS ON THEIR OWN
COMPUTERS. COOKIES CAN BE DISABLED OR CONTROLLED BY SETTING A PREFERENCE WITHIN
THE USER'S WEB BROWSER. LOG FILES RELATED TO COOKIES RECORD INTERNET PROTOCOL
(IP) ADDRESSES, BROWSER TYPES, INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDER (ISP), REFERRING/EXIT
PAGES, PLATFORM TYPE, DATE/TIME STAMP, AND NUMBER OF CLICKS TO ANALYZE TRENDS,

IS NOT LINKED TO PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION OF A USER.
(2) PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION. PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION
IS ONLY USED TO FULFILL THE PURPOSE OF THE USER’S INTERACTION WITH AI. IF THE
PURPOSE OF THE USER’S INTERACTION WITH AI IS TO PROVIDE INFORMATION TO A SPECIFIC
THIRD PARTY, AI MAY USE THE INFORMATION AS DIRECTED BY THE USER. INFORMATION MAY
ALSO BE COMPILED AND USED TO CUSTOMIZE USERS’ VISITS TO THE SITE.
LIMITED USE OF INFORMATION OUTSIDE AI. AI WILL NOT DISCLOSE PERSONALLY
IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION TO THIRD PARTIES, OTHER THAN SERVICE PROVIDERS
WHO ARE BOUND TO USE THE INFORMATION ONLY TO ASSIST US IN SUCH AREAS
AS DATA STORAGE AND ORDER PROCESSING, EXCEPT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
SITE’S WEBSITE TERMS OF USE. USERS SHOULD BE AWARE THAT AI IS A PUBLIC
AGENCY AND THAT PERSONAL INFORMATION PROVIDED TO AI MAY BE SUBJECT TO
DISCLOSURE IN ACCORDANCE WITH PUBLIC RECORDS LAWS.
SECURITY. COMMERCIALLY REASONABLE PRECAUTIONS ARE TAKEN TO PROTECT
USER INFORMATION STORED IN THE ELECTRONIC DATABASES. HOWEVER, GIVEN
THE NATURE OF THE INTERNET AND THE FACT THAT NETWORK SECURITY MEASURES
ARE NOT INFALLIBLE, AI CANNOT GUARANTEE THAT ELECTRONICALLY-STORED USER
INFORMATION WILL NEVER BE STOLEN, HACKED OR VIEWED BY UNAUTHORIZED PERSONS.
AI MAINTAINS NOTIFICATION PROCEDURES AS PART OF ITS INFORMATION SECURITY POLICIES,
TO BE USED IN THE EVENT OF A DATA SECURITY BREACH. IF AI IS REQUIRED TO PROVIDE

PRACTICES OR CONTENT OF THE OTHER WEBSITES.

YOU MAY CONTACT US TO CORRECT, UPDATE OR DELETE AND
