Legal Documents :: Privacy Statement
A5 has created this privacy statement in order to demonstrate our firm
commitment to privacy issues. The following discloses the information
gathering and dissemination practices for A5.
At A5, we are very committed to your privacy, so here is our PRIVACY
PROMISE TO YOU: A5 will never sell, exchange, or release any of your
individual personal information to a third party without your express
permission.
Information we may collect:
Occasionally, we may conduct online surveys or run a contest for promotional
purposes, during which, we may ask users for contact information (like email
addresses) and demographic information (like zip code, age, or income level).
We use contact data to send consumers information about our company and, of
course, to notify people if they win the contest.
We understand, though, that you may want to participate in these surveys or
contests but may not want us to send you email. Accordingly, as part of these
surveys or contests, we will always give you the option of declining to receive
information from A5. Hey, if you don't want to receive email, just let us know,
and we won't send it. It is as simple as that. [Of course, we will notify you
if you win the contest.]
Like other web sites, your IP number is visible to us when you visit our web site.
What is an IP address, you may ask? It is a number automatically assigned to your
computer whenever you're connected the Internet. Your IP number is visible to most
of the websites that you visit. Don't worry, though, at A5, we only use IP numbers
to help diagnose problems with our servers, to administer our Web site. Other
sites may use your IP number for marketing purposes. We don't.
From time to time, we may share with third parties aggregate information-- such as,
how many of our users are men, or how many A5 consumers search on Internet-related
topics. Such information will not contain any personal identifying information.
Cookies
Like many sites, A5 uses cookies. Cookies are data files that are stored on your
computer. They contain identification information that enables us to see how our
users are interacting with our site and how frequently they are returning. Cookies
do not contain any personally identifiable information.
We use cookies for the benefit of our users. Cookies let us know if we have repeat
visitors (a strong indication of happy consumers) and if we are delivering a quality
product to our consumers. We also use cookies to identify which sites our repeat
visitors are coming from, so that we can place more of our online advertising on
these sites. Essentially, it is an anonymous way to survey how we are doing and to
look for other consumers who we think will like our site.
If you do not want to accept cookies from A5 or other sites, your browser software
should allow you to not accept cookies. Look in the Preferences (Netscape) or Internet
Options (Microsoft Internet Explorer) feature to do this.
Links to other Web sites
A5 contains many links to other sites. A5 is not responsible for the privacy practices
or the content of such Web sites. A5 does not share any of the individual personal
information you provide A5 with the sites to which A5 links, although A5 may share
aggregate data with such sites (such as how many people use our site). This includes
other third party sites on the Internet for which A5 provides search services.
Please check with those sites to determine their privacy policy.
Opt-out
If you do not wish to receive future communications from us, you can send an email to
privacy@a5.com. However, email communications with our users will be a common method
for A5 to communicate about the services and any issues pertaining to your account(s).
As such, we recommend that users regularly check their A5 email account for any A5
Communications information.
