This ASHTON CENTRAL Statement of Privacy applies to the ASHTON CENTRAL websites and governs data collection and usage at all ASHTON CENTRAL sites and services; it does not apply to other online or offline ASHTON CENTRAL sites, products or services. Please read the ASHTON CENTRAL Statement of Privacy below as well as any supplementary information at the end of this statement for additional details about particular ASHTON CENTRAL sites and services that you may use.
ASHTON CENTRAL is a general audience website. Personal information of every user is collected, used and disclosed as described in this Statement of Privacy.
Collection of your Personal Information
At some point in the site, ASHTON CENTRAL collects personal information, such as your e-mail address, name, home or work address or telephone number. ASHTON CENTRAL may also collect demographic information, such as your postal code, age, gender, preferences, interests and favorites. Information collected by ASHTON CENTRAL may be combined with information obtained from other services and other companies.
ASHTON CENTRAL also collects certain information about your computer's hardware and software. This information may include: your IP address, browser type, domain names, access times and recurring website addresses. This information is used by ASHTON CENTRAL for the operation of the service, to maintain quality of the service, and to provide general statistics regarding the use of www.ashcent.com.
ASHTON CENTRAL keeps track of the pages our customers visit within ASHTON CENTRAL, in order to determine what ASHTON CENTRAL sites and services are the most popular. This data is also used by ASHTON CENTRAL to deliver customized content and advertising to customers whose behavior indicates that they are interested in a particular subject matter.
ASHTON CENTRAL uses authentication to provide access to the private portion of the Site. If you create an account with ASHTON CENTRAL, all of the registration information you provide will be stored by ASHTON CENTRAL, and some or all of that information will also be stored in your profile.
Please keep in mind that if you directly disclose personal information through ASHTON CENTRAL Chats, News Groups, or other public on-line forums, this information may be collected and used by others.
ASHTON CENTRAL encourages you to review the privacy statements of websites you choose to link to from ASHTON CENTRAL so that you can understand how those websites collect, use and share your information. ASHTON CENTRAL is not responsible for the privacy statements or other content on websites outside of the ASHTON CENTRAL website.
Use of your Personal Information
ASHTON CENTRAL and its operational service partners collect and use your personal information to operate ASHTON CENTRAL and deliver the services you have requested. ASHTON CENTRAL also uses your personal information to inform you of other products or services available from ASHTON CENTRAL and its affiliates. ASHTON CENTRAL may also contact you via surveys to conduct research about your opinion on current services or on new services that may be offered.
ASHTON CENTRAL does not sell, rent or lease its customer lists to third parties. ASHTON CENTRAL may, from time to time, contact you on behalf of external business partners about a particular offering that may be of interest to you. In those cases, your personal information (e-mail, name, address, telephone number) is not transferred to the third party.
We occasionally hire other companies to provide limited services on our behalf, such as handling the processing and delivery of mailings, providing customer support, processing transactions, or performing statistical analysis of our services. We will only provide those companies the personal information they need to deliver the service. They are required to maintain the confidentiality of your information and are prohibited from using that information for any other purpose.
ASHTON CENTRAL does not use or disclose sensitive personal information, such as race, religion, or political affiliations, without your explicit consent.
ASHTON CENTRAL may access and/or disclose your personal information if required to do so by law or in good faith in the belief that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on ASHTON CENTRAL or the site; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of ASHTON CENTRAL, including the ASHTON CENTRAL website; or ™ act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of ASHTON CENTRAL, its websites, or the public.
Personal information collected on this Site may be stored and processed in Canada or any other country in which ASHTON CENTRAL or its affiliates, subsidiaries or agents maintain facilities, and by using this Site, you consent to any such transfer of information outside of your country.
Control of your Personal Information
ASHTON CENTRAL offers its customers choices for the collection, use and sharing of personal information. You may go to the Personal Account page to proactively make choices about the use and sharing of your personal information. You may choose not to receive marketing material from ASHTON CENTRAL or on behalf of external third party business partners.
In addition, you may visit the Personal Account page to view, edit or delete your personal information from the ASHTON CENTRAL database.
In both cases described above, you will be asked to make your requests while logged into your account, so that ASHTON CENTRAL can associate your preferences with a particular account. This security safeguard prevents someone else from making choices about the usage and control of your personal information. If you do not have a user account, contact our sales department.
You may also stop the delivery of future promotional e-mail from ASHTON CENTRAL by following the specific instructions in the e-mail you receive. The instructions explain how to stop receiving such e-mails.
There are some ASHTON CENTRAL services that periodically send out e-mails informing you of technical service issues, product surveys, new feature announcements and news about ASHTON CENTRAL products and services. You will be able to unsubscribe to these mailings, as indicated in the bottom portion of the said e-mail.
Security of your Personal Information
ASHTON CENTRAL is committed to protecting the security of your personal information. We use a variety of security technologies and procedures to help protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. For example, we store the personal information you provide on computer systems with limited access, which are located in controlled facilities. When we transmit highly confidential information (such as personal information or a credit card number) over the Internet, we protect it through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.
Use of Cookies
ASHTON CENTRAL uses "cookies" to help you personalize your on-line experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard-drive by a web page server. 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.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. For example, if you personalize ASHTON CENTRALs' pages, or register with ASHTON CENTRAL sites or services, a cookie helps ASHTON CENTRAL 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. When you return to ASHTON CENTRAL, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the ASHTON CENTRAL features that you customized.
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of ASHTON CENTRALS' services or websites you visit.
