Astute Technology Management (“ATM” or “We”) takes measures to ensure that the use and disclosure of your private personal information is consistent with applicable law.
This Privacy Statement explains what personally identifiable information we collect, why we collect it, how we protect it, how we use it, and how and why, in certain cases, we share such information with other parties. Our Privacy Statement is effective as of 12/29/2015, and may be amended from time to time.
Our Privacy Statement applies to personally identifiable information collected or used when we offer products or services to consumers.
INFORMATION THAT WE COLLECT AND MAY DISCLOSE
We collect information from, and about you, in order to comply with applicable laws and to provide the superior level of service that you expect. Personally identifiable information may include: names, addresses, phone numbers or e-mail addresses.
A specific example of personal information that we collect and may disclose to affiliates and certain third parties may include: If you visit our Internet web site, www.astutetm.com (the “website”), information you may submit to us on our website forms and information we may collect through “cookies” (explained below).
HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION
ATM and third-party service providers may work together to provide a variety of services, and they may need to share personally identifiable information received from you to maintain an efficient and effective level of service.
The responsible use and disclosure of the personally identifiable information we collect is crucial to our ability to provide you with the services that you expect, and may occur under a variety of different circumstances. For example, we may:
- Use personally identifiable information internally for the purposes of furthering our business, which may include analyzing information we receive form you, matching that information with the information of others, processing services, maintaining accounts, resolving disputes, preventing fraud and verifying your identity.
- Disclose personally identifiable information when required by law, such as requests for personally identifiable information in connection with a judicial, administrative or investigative matter.
- Use and disclose personally identifiable information on an aggregate basis. This means that we may combine parts of your information with parts of the information from our other users without including other identifying components of that information, such as name, complete telephone number, complete e-mail address or your street address, in the combination.
SHARING WITH NON-AFFILIATED SERVICE PROVIDERS
We may disclose personally identifiable information to nonaffiliated service providers who perform business functions on our behalf, which may include marketing of our products and services and data processing. Nonaffiliated third party service providers often aid us in the efficient and effective delivery of services and there may be circumstances where it is necessary to disclose personally identifiable information we collect to such parties. However, before we disclose personally identifiable information to a nonaffiliated party, we require them to agree to keep that information confidential and secure and to use it only as authorized by us. Also, we will only share your nonpublic information with nonaffiliated third parties where permitted by applicable law.
ATM does not share, sell, or rent personally identifiable information with outside marketers.
HOW WE PROTECT YOUR INFORMATION
ATM maintains a comprehensive information security program designed to ensure the security and confidentiality of customer information, protect against threats or hazards to the security of such information, and prevent unauthorized access.
