For each visitor to our web site, our web server automatically recognizes only the visitor’s domain name and IP address, but not the e-mail address (where possible). The domain name and IP address reveal nothing personal about you other than the IP address and the domain name from which you have accessed our web site. We may also track certain information about the use of our web site, such as the source address of a page request and the date and time of the page request. We use this data to better understand use of our web site and user preferences. This information is stored in log files and is used for aggregated and statistical reporting.

ALIR uses “popups” solely for the purpose of its top level navigation bars in order to invoke drop down menu selection to sub pages. In addition, we will occasionally use a “cookie”. A cookie is a small file that a web site stores on your computer. We use cookies for a number of administrative purposes; for example, to gather data about the usage of our web site, to store your preferences for certain kinds of information, or to store a password so that you do not have to input it every time you visit our site. Our use of cookies does not require that they contain personally identifiable information about you. It simply allows the web server to recognize you during your next visit to our site. You can decide if and how your computer will accept a cookie by configuring your preferences or options in your browser. You can set your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie, giving you the chance to decide whether to accept it. However, if you choose to reject cookies, you may not be able to use certain features within our web site.
If you submit an application or form online, or request an online transaction, we may keep the information you send in an electronic database. We use security measures to protect against the loss, misuse, and the alteration of data used in our systems. ALIR is the owner of the information which is collected on our web site. We will not sell, disseminate, disclose, trade, transmit, transfer, share, lease or rent any personally identifiable information to any third party not authorized by you to receive your information except as we have disclosed to you in this Privacy Policy.
We may also request your e-mail address or mailing address for the purposes of conducting a survey or to provide additional services (for example, subscriptions to e-mail newsletters, announcement lists or information about seminars). Whenever we request the identity of a visitor, we will clearly indicate the purpose of the inquiry before the information is requested. Unless explicitly stated, e-mail is not secure. We recommend that you do not send any confidential information through e-mail. If you send e-mail to us, we may retain the contents of your e-mail message, your e-mail address, and our response.

Please be aware that ALIR is not responsible for the content of third party web sites nor are we responsible for the privacy policy or practices of third party web sites linked to ALIR. We do not share any of the individual personal information you provide to ALIR with the sites to which ALIR links, although ALIR may share aggregate data with such web sites (such as how many people use our Site). Our Privacy Policy only applies to information we collect from you while you are at and while you are actively in a session with ALIR. If you should link to a third party web site from ALIR, we strongly encourage you to review and become familiar with that web site’s privacy policy. Please keep in mind that whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information online – for example through e-mail, discussion lists, or elsewhere – that information can be collected and used by others. 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 responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your personal information.

As an added benefit to the visitors of ALIR’ web site, we send e-mail announcements to individuals who request to receive them. When you sign up for a ALIR e-mail newsletter, you are given the opportunity to also receive announcement lists from third parties. If you choose to receive a specific announcement list, you will receive commercial messages that are related to the topic of the list from independent third-parties that have contracted with ALIR to send messages to the list. Personally identifiable information will not be used by ALIR for any purposes other than to deliver the newsletters. You may stop the arrival of these announcement lists at any time by removing your e-mail address from the list by forwarding the announcement list to info@ALIR.com, or by following the instructions on the e-mails you receive.
