Your privacy is important to
Architectural Metals (AM). This statement discloses the information
practices for AM Web sites, including what type of information is
gathered and tracked, how the information is used, and with whom
the information is shared.
Personal information: In general, you can
visit AM on the Internet without telling us who you are and without
giving any personal information about yourself. There are times,
however, when we or our partners may need information from you.
Fulfilling your transaction request: If you
request something from an AM Web site, for example, a product or
service, a callback, or specific marketing materials, we will use
the information you provide to fulfill your request. To help us
do this, we may share information, with others, for instance, other
parts of AM, AM's Business Partners, financial institutions, shipping
companies, postal or government authorities (for example, Customs
authorities) involved in fulfillment. In connection with a transaction
we may also contact you as part of our customer satisfaction surveys
or for market research purposes.
Marketing Use: The information you provide
to AM on certain AM Web sites may also be used by AM and selected
third parties for marketing purposes. Before we use it, however,
we will offer you the opportunity to choose whether or not to have
your information used in this way.
Supplementing Information: From time to time
we may supplement information you give us via an AM Web site with
information from other sources, such as information validating your
address or other available information about businesses. This is
to help us maintain the accuracy of the information we collect and
to help us provide a better service.
Cookies, Web Beacons and Other Technologies:
We sometimes collect non-identifiable information from visits to
our Web sites to help us provide better customer service. For example,
we keep track of the domains from which people visit, and we also
measure visitor activity on AM Web sites, but we do so in ways that
keep the information non-identifiable. This information is sometimes
known as "clickstream data." AM or others on AM's behalf
may use this data to analyze trends and statistics and to help us
provide better customer service.
Also, when we collect personal data from you in
a transaction, we may extract some information about that transaction
in an non-identifiable format and combine it with other non-identifiable
information such as clickstream data. This information is used and
analyzed only at an aggregate level to help us understand trends
and patterns. This information is not reviewed at an individual
level. If you do not want your transaction details used in this
manner you can disable your cookies.
We collect the information we mentioned in the previous
paragraphs through the use of various technologies, including one
called "cookies". A cookie is a piece of data that a Web
site can send to your browser, which may then be stored on your
computer as an anonymous tag that identifies your computer but not
you. Some AM pages use cookies, sent by AM or its third party vendors,
or other technologies to better serve you when you return to the
Web site. You can set your browser to notify you before you receive
a cookie, giving you the chance to decide whether to accept it.
You can also set your browser to turn off cookies. If you do so,
however, some Web sites may not work properly.
Some AM Web sites also use Web beacon or other technologies
to better tailor those sites to provide better customer service.
These technologies may be in use on a number of pages across AM's
Web sites. When a visitor accesses these pages, a non-identifiable
notice of that visit is generated which may be processed by us or
by our suppliers. These Web beacons usually work in conjunction
with cookies. If you don't want your cookie information to be associated
with your visits to these pages, you can set your browser to turn
off cookies.
If you turn off cookies, Web beacon and other technologies
will still detect visits to these pages, but the notices they generate
cannot be associated with other non-identifiable cookie information
and are disregarded.
Disclosures Required By Law: Please be aware that in certain
circumstances, it is possible that personal information may be subject
to disclosure pursuant to judicial or other government subpoenas,
warrants, or orders.
Links to non-AM Web sites: AM Web sites may
contain links to other Web sites. AM is not responsible for the
privacy practices or the content of those other Web sites.
If you have questions or concerns regarding the
site's privacy statement, you should first contact AM directly.
