Collection of Information

Personally Identifiable Information

Personally identifiable information - information that you choose to supply -- is collected from our site by obvious request only. This would include your name or phone number, etc. You may decline to supply this information.

  • Certain information may be required in order for you to receive further information. If you want us to call, we'll need your phone number. If you want to receive email, we'll need your address. If you want to buy something, we'll need your credit card information and a street address.

  • Otherwise any information you give to ADDA will not be used in ways that you have not agreed to by accepting the terms of this privacy policy.

Non-Personally Identifiable Information

Non-Personally Identifiable Information is not linked to any individual person. An "IP address" is a number used by computers on the network to identify your computer so that data can be transmitted to you. "Environmental variables" include, among other things, the domain from which you access the Internet, the time of your visit to our website, the type of Browser and operating system or platform used, the Internet address of the websites you visit previously and subsequently to visiting the ADDA website, and the pages you visit while at our website.

  • ADDA does collect from visitors to the site some Non-Personally Identifiable Information. To collect this information, we may store information on your computer in the form of a "cookie." Cookies allow us to tailor the site and help us to better respond to your interests and preferences. With most Internet Browsers, you can erase cookies from your computer hard drive, block all cookies, or receive a warning before a cookie is stored.

  • ADDA may also collect information about IP addresses or environmental variables. We collect this information to allow us to detect broad demographic trends, to provide information tailored to your interests and to enhance your experience on the ADDA site. This information may be aggregated in an anonymous manner.

Browser information collected on our web site

ADDA collects anonymous browser information, and analyzes our website logs to constantly improve the value of the materials available on our site. ADDA may from time to time link anonymous browser information with personally-identifiable information in connection with the Member section of the site. This will help us better tailor our site and provide you with content and offers that we think may be of interest to you.

Resale of information or disclosure of information to third parties

We won't do it. PERIOD.
ADDA will, however, disclose personal information specifically, but not inclusively,

  • as may be permitted or required by law or court order,
  • as may be necessary to protect the rights or property of ADDA, or
  • to select third party agents with whom ADDA has contracted to carry out internal operations of the site.
    • For example if you want to register for an event or fulfill a purchase or delivery request, we'll need to pass that information along to the right people.
    • ADDA may also share personally and non-personally identifiable information with third parties that help manage our web site and databases.
