Welcome to our site ("Site"). To better protect your privacy, this notice explains our online information practices and the choices you can make about the way your information is collected and used by AO Media. Protecting the privacy of all parties involved is a top priority. We have adopted the following policy regarding the use of your information online.

AO Mediamay collect and store personally identifiable, voluntarily submit information about you. The name of the domain from which you access, the date and time you access our Site; and the site from which you linked directly to our Site. We use the information we collect to measure the number of visitors to the different sections of our site.

If you send us personal identifying information by e-mail (for example, in a message containing a question or comment, or by filling out a form that e-mails us this information), we use it to respond to your requests. We may forward your e-mail to other employees or contract personnel who are better able to answer your questions. We may use the personal information we collect to contact you about our products and services or those of our clients or other third parties from time to time. In general, we do not sell your personal identifiable information to third parties or mass marketers. For example we will not sell another company your name or e-mail address unless you consent to the disclosure of your information. Only we and our affiliates, our technical consultants, third party auditors, and other third parties who make our Site available, enhance its functionality, or provide associated services have access to this information. We require them to agree that they are covered by this policy. Please note that we do reserve the right to transfer your personally identifiable information and other information to successors in business and purchasers of site assets. We may use the aggregate or anonymous information we collect about our customers, traffic patterns, and related site information to better design our site and to share with reputable third-party vendors.

Opt-Out
You may ask us to delete any information about you and cease to further contact at any time by sending us a request marked "privacy" to: contact@apples-oranges.net.

We do not keep or distribute lists of e-mail addresses to any parties outside of A&O. In no event, do we distribute lists of e-mail addresses to other entities.

In addition to our online security efforts, we take steps to protect your personal data offline, as well. All of your information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted in our offices. Employees are granted access on a need-to-know basis (for example, our billing clerk or a customer service representative). Furthermore, ALL employees are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy practices. Finally, the servers on which we store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment, behind a locked cage.

Even the best policy can't protect your online privacy and security in all circumstances. Unscrupulous advertisers, hackers, and scam artists are constantly searching the Internet looking for new targets. Your best protection is to understand the limits to privacy on the Internet and use common sense in all of your on-line activities.
Be aware that e-mail is an inherently insecure form of communication. Remember that third parties are sometimes able to illegally intercept your unencrypted messages.

File transfer protocol (FTP)
Using the file transfer protocol may also store your e-mail address if your web browser is configured to provide it. By default most web browser software does not send your e-mail address; this option is configured through your browser preferences. In Netscape Navigator, for example, this option must be set by you through the Advanced preferences category by the item labeled, "Send email address as anonymous FTP password."

Privacy Precautionary Warning
Please note that we reserve the right to access and/or disclose the user information discussed herein. (including personal information) As required by courts and/or administrative agencies and to the extent required to permit us to investigate suspected fraud, harassment or other violations of law or our Site Terms of Use policies.

Consent
By using our site, you consent to the collection, use, and storage of your personal and non-personal information as described in this policy. You further authorize the export of personal information and its storage and use as specified in this policy when you provide such information to us. This policy and all the legal obligations of A&O are subject to the laws of the United States of America, regardless of location of any user. Any claims or complaints must be filed in the USA.

We may amend our privacy policy, but if we decide to change our Privacy Policy, we will post those changes on this page, so you are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it and under what circumstances we disclose it.
