AJE Components is committed to safeguarding
your privacy online. Please read the following
policy to understand how your personal information
will be treated as you make full use of
our many offerings. This policy may change
from time to time so please check back periodically.
What personally identifiable
information do we collect from you?
Some personal information is gathered when
you register. During registration, we will
ask for your name, address, postal/zip code,
email address, birth date, gender, occupation,
industry and personal interests. The more
information you volunteer (and the more
accurate it is), the better we are able
to customise your experience.
Knowing that you use certain services or
features may help us to offer you better
and more relevant content and advertisements.
But as with all personally identifiable
information, we do not make this available
to any third parties without your permission.
Any user statistics that we may provide
to prospective advertisers or partners regarding
financial product or service usage are provided
in the aggregate only and do not include
any personally identifiable information
about any individual user.
Occasionally we ask users to complete surveys
that we use for research. Wherever we collect
personal information we make an effort to
include a link to this Privacy Policy on
that page.
What is AJE Components
policy on allowing me to update or delete
my personally identifiable information?
You may edit your account information at
any time by using logging in and selected
change profile.
Your account can be deleted or deactivated,
but doing so will result in not being able
to access any members-only area of the AJE
Components site. If you saved the confirmation
email you received when you first created
your account, you can use the URL provided
in that message to delete your account at
any time. Please contact.
What are cookies and
how does AJE Components use them?
As part of offering and providing customisable
and personalised services, cookies are used
to store and sometimes track information
about you. A cookie is a small amount of
data that is sent to your browser from a
web server and stored on your computer's
hard drive. All sites where you are prompted
to login or that are customisable require
that you accept cookies.
Generally, we use cookies to:
(1) Remind us of who you are and to access
your account information (stored on our
computers) in order to deliver to you a
better and more personalised service. This
cookie is set when you register or "Sign
In" and is modified when you "Sign
Out" of our services.
(2) Estimate our audience size. Each browser
accessing AJE Components is given a unique
cookie which is then used to determine the
extent of repeat usage, usage by a registered
user versus by an unregistered user, and
to help target advertisements based on user
interests and behaviour.
(3) Assist merchants in AJE Components
to track visits to and business at their
stores, and to process the items in your
shopping basket. The information collected
by cookies is sometimes called "clickstream"
or "click trail" and may also
describe which pages you have seen in each
merchant's store.
(4) Track your progress and number of entries
in some of our promotions and competitions.
When a promotion uses cookies, the information
written to the cookie indicates the player's
progress through the promotion, and may
be used to track entries, submissions, and
status in prize drawings.
(5) Measure certain traffic patterns and
your visiting patterns in the aggregate.
We may use this information to better personalise
the content, banners, and promotions that
you and other users will see on our sites.
Advertising networks that serve ads onto
AJE Components may also use their own cookies.
AJE Components also collects IP addresses
for system administration and to report
aggregate information to our advertisers.
How does AJE Components
use my information?
Our primary goal in collecting personal
information is to provide you, the user,
with a customised experience on our network
of sites. This includes personalisation
services, interactive communications, online
shopping and many other types of services,
most of which are completely free to you.
In order to provide services free of charge,
we display advertisements. By knowing a
little about you, AJE Components is able
to deliver more relevant advertisements
and content, and hence better service, to
you.
You will only receive special offers via
email from AJE Components if you have indicated
in your account preferences that you would
like to receive them. You can change your
account preferences at any time.
AJE Components does research on our users'
demographics, interests, and behaviour based
on the information provided to us upon registration,
during a promotion, or from our server log
files. We do this to better understand and
serve our users. This research is compiled
and analysed on an aggregated basis.
Who is collecting information?
When you are on a AJE Components site and
are asked for personal information, you
are sharing that information with us alone,
unless it is specifically stated otherwise.
If data is being collected and/or maintained
by any company, than you will be notified
prior to the time of the data collection
or transfer. If you do not want your data
to be shared, you can choose not to allow
the transfer by not using that particular
service.
Promotions that run on AJE Components may
be sponsored by companies other than AJE
Components or may be co-sponsored by another
company. Some or all data collected during
a promotion may be shared with the sponsor.
You can decide not to participate in the
promotion if you don't want your data to
be shared.
Please be aware that AJE Components advertisers
or web sites that have links on our site
may collect personally identifiable information
about you. The information practices of
those web sites linked to AJE Components
are not covered by this privacy statement.
With whom does AJE Components
share my information?
As a general rule, we will not disclose
any of your personally identifiable information
except when we have your permission or under
special circumstances, such as when we believe
in good faith that the law requires it or
under the circumstances described below.
The following describes some of the ways
that your information may be disclosed.
Business Partners & Sponsors:
We may disclose your personal information
to business partners or sponsors, but this
is specifically described to you prior to
data collection or prior to transferring
the data. Details of shared use can be found
in specific Terms of Service.
Many promotions offer opportunities to
request additional information from sponsors.
By requesting more information, you give
us permission to transfer your personal
information to the sponsor so they can fulfill
your request. In many instances, only your
email address will be shared.
Stores & Shopping: If you make
a purchase from a store hosted by us, the
information obtained during your visit to
those stores, and the information you give
such as your credit card number and contact
information, is provided to the merchants.
This is to enable transactions to take place.
Merchants stores have separate privacy
and data collection practices. We have no
responsibility or liability for these independent
policies.
From time to time, you may be offered the
opportunity to receive materials or special
offers from third parties. If you opt-in
to receive information from these third
parties, we will (with your permission)
share your name and email address with them.
Third Party Data & Data in the Aggregate:
Under confidentiality agreements, we may
match user information with third party
data. Also, we may disclose aggregated user
statistics (for example, 45% of our users
are female) in order to describe our services
to prospective partners, advertisers, and
other third parties, and for other lawful
purposes.
Other: We may also disclose account
information in special cases when we have
reason to believe that disclosing this information
is necessary to identify, contact or bring
legal action against someone who may be
violating our Terms of Service or may be
causing injury to or interference with (either
intentionally or unintentionally) our rights
or property, other users, or anyone else
that could be harmed by such activities.
We may disclose or access account information
when we believe in good faith that the law
requires it and for administrative and other
purposes that we deem necessary to maintain,
service, and improve our products and services.
What are my choices
regarding collection, use, and distribution
of my information?
AJE Components may, from time to time,
send you email regarding our products and
services. In addition, if you indicated
upon registration that you are interested
in receiving offers or information from
us and our partners, we may occasionally
send you e-mail about products and services
that we feel may be of interest to you.
Only AJE Components (or agents working on
behalf of us and under confidentiality agreements)
will send you these direct mailings and
only if you indicated that you do not object
to these offers.
On some types of promotions, we will ask
for your email address in order to update
you on your score, entries, and status in
prize drawings. When you participate in
these types of promotions, you automatically
receive promotion-related email, unless
you choose the no-email option that some
promotions offer. Occasionally these promotion-related
email messages may include targeted advertisements.
You also have choices with respect to cookies.
By modifying your browser preferences, you
have the choice to accept all cookies, to
be notified when a cookie is set, or to
reject all cookies. If you choose to reject
all cookies you will be unable to use those
our services that require registration in
order to participate.
What security precautions
are in place to protect the loss, misuse,
or alteration of my information?
Your Account Information is password-protected
so that you and only you have access to
this personal information.
We recommend that you do not divulge your
password to anyone. We will never ask you
for your password in an unsolicited phone
call or in an unsolicited email. Also remember
to sign out of your account and close your
browser window when you have finished your
work. This is to ensure that others cannot
access your personal information and correspondence
if you share a computer with someone else
or are using a computer in a public place.
Unfortunately, no data transmission over
the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100%
secure. As a result, while we strive to
protect your personal information, we cannot
ensure or warrant the security of any information
you transmit to us or from our online products
or services, and you do so at your own risk.
Once we receive your transmission, we make
our best effort to ensure its security on
our systems.
Please note that there are several places
where you can transmit credit card information
in order to complete a purchase transaction
or for verification purposes. Any time we
ask for a credit card number we transmit
that credit card number in an encrypted
format. We use industry-standard, SSL (secure
socket layer) encryption.
What else should I know
about my privacy?
Please keep in mind that whenever you voluntarily
disclose personal information online - for
example on message boards, through email,
or in chat areas - that information can
be collected and used by others. In short,
if you post personal information online
that is accessible to the public, you may
receive unsolicited messages from other
parties in return.
Ultimately, you are solely responsible
for maintaining the secrecy of your passwords
and/or any account information. Please be
careful and responsible whenever you're
online.
