INFORMATION

When browsing the Alteer Site, certain personally identifying Information is automatically recorded by automatic operation of our Internet servers. This Information may include the type of browser and operating system used, the accessing computer’s Internet Protocol (“IP”) address (a number that Internet service providers assign all computers when accessing the Internet) and the date and time the Alteer Site was accessed. We collect this information for purposes of research, improvement of the Alteer Site or to provide information that is potentially helpful to you. For example, Alteer may send you information in response to direct requests. Alteer may also use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server, to administer the Alteer Site and to gather broad demographic information about use of the Alteer Site.

The security of the Information provided to Alteer is important to us. Any information that you send to us while at a secure portion of the Alteer Site is encrypted before it is transmitted over the Internet. We also use reasonable means to protect information from loss and misuse. It is important to know, however, that no transmission of information over the Internet is 100% secure. Although we do strive to use reasonable means to safeguard the Information, we cannot guarantee its security during its transmission or its storage in our systems. Alteer periodically reviews its security and privacy policies and revises them as may be appropriate.

We collect and store certain visitor information that we believe is necessary or helpful for our legitimate business interests to improve your visit to the Alteer Site, to make your visit more productive and to tailor your future visits to your preferences. We count, track and aggregate customer visits to analyze general traffic flow. Among other Information, we collect the following visitor information: (i) our server automatically recognizes the visitor’s domain name; (ii) we track where our visitors come from and how they move within the Alteer Site; and (iii) we track the visit if you review or download documents.

Unlike the secure portions of the Alteer Site described above, e-mail communications are not encrypted. E-mail communications are not secure and are treated as non-confidential and non-proprietary. If you send information via e-mail, you do so at your own risk. YOU SHOULD NOT SUBMIT ANY PROTECTED HEALTH INFORMATION OR OTHER CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION VIA E-MAIL COMMUNICATIONS. WITHOUT EXPANDING ANY OF ALTEER’S OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER, ALTEER SHALL HAVE NO OBLIGATION OR LIABILITY OF ANY KIND WITH RESPECT TO ANY SUCH PROTECTED HEALTH INFORMATION OR OTHER CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION THAT YOU PROVIDE VIA E-MAIL COMMUNICATION.

Please note that there may be links from this site to other web sites; however, this Privacy Statement applies only to the Alteer Site. When you click on one of those links, you are accessing a web site that is not owned, operated or controlled by Alteer. The operator of such a site may have its own privacy policy (which we encourage you to read carefully) and that policy will govern the collection and use of your data on that site.

We will only collect Information that we believe is necessary or helpful for our legitimate business interests, such as for commercial purposes, marketing, research, improvement of the Alteer Site or to provide information that is potentially helpful to you. This includes, without limitation, Information provided when you visit certain sections of the Alteer Site.

Alteer does not sell, share or release personal Information to any third party except in aggregate form, when you give your permission in writing to do so or to comply with valid legal requirements such as law, regulation, warrant, subpoena or court order.

A common practice among web site operators is to download small data bits known as “cookies” onto your computer when you visit their web site. Alteer may use this technology to store your preferences and record session information. You can disable “cookies” by turning them off in your browser; however, without “cookies,” some areas of the Alteer Site may not function properly. No personal information such as names, phone numbers or e-mail addresses are stored in “cookies” and the information stored in the “cookie” is kept only to improve your visit to the Alteer Site.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Information is an asset of Alteer and will become part of our normal business records. If Alteer or a substantial part of our business is sold or otherwise transferred to a third party, such as a legal successor in interest, information, including, without limitation, your Information, may be transferred to that third party.

The Alteer Site does not intend to collect personal information from children under 18 without permission of the child’s parent or legal guardian. If your child has submitted personal information without your permission and you would like to remove that information from our system, please contact us at privacy@alteer.com.
