Privacy Policy

 |
AJE Consulting 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 Consulting 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 Consulting 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 Consulting 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 Consulting 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 Consulting 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 Consulting may also
use their own cookies.
AJE Consulting also collects IP addresses for system administration
and to report aggregate information to our advertisers.
How does AJE Consulting 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 Consulting 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 Consulting 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 Consulting 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 Consulting 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 Consulting may be sponsored by companies
other than AJE Consulting 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 Consulting 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 Consulting are not covered by this privacy
statement.
With whom does AJE Consulting 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 Consulting 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 Consulting (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.
