Athena Security, Inc. Customer Privacy Statement
Protecting your privacy is important to us. We hope the following statement will help you understand how Athena Security, Inc. collects, uses and safeguards the personal information you provide to us on our Web site.
Security
When you send confidential personal account data to us on Athena Security, Inc. Web site, we require that a "secure session" first be established using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology. SSL is a security protocol for commercial transactions on the Internet. SSL uses public-key cryptography to authenticate Internet servers, to encrypt data, and to maintain the accuracy of transmitted data.
Information Collection
When you browse www.athenasecurity.net and have not registered for any online service from Athena Security, you browse anonymously. Personal information such as your name, address, telephone number or e-mail address is not collected as you browse. Athena Security does, however, use "cookies" to collect information about how our site is used. (See "About Cookies," below.) Information, such as the server your computer is logged onto, your browser type (e.g., Netscape or Internet Explorer), and whether you responded to an Athena Security banner ad or e-mail is collected and tracked in aggregate. This information is used for the purpose of measuring response rates to banner ads and e-mail offers.
Registration for Online Products and Services
In order to provide you with a particular product or service online, we may request that you voluntarily supply us with personal information, including your e-mail address and credit card number, for purposes such as correspondence, site registration, checking your account status online, making a purchase or participating in online surveys, and enabling us to provide an online product or service to you in an efficient manner.
If you are known to us as a registered Athena Security online customer, we may combine information about your use of www.athenasecurity.net and the online product or service you utilize with certain other online and offline information we have about you as an Athena Security customer and information you have provided to us as well as information available from external sources, such as census bureau data, in order to customize your online experience and present you with relevant online and offline offers and updates. We also use a "cookie" to enable our server to recognize you as a registered Athena Security online customer when you re-enter our site.
Information Use
We may use information you have given us to, for example, provide a service, ensure proper billing, measure consumer interest in our various services and inform you about products and services. If you have provided your e-mail address to us or to a company we've partnered with to make their products and services available to you, we may send you e-mail offers. We may also send you e-mail offers if you have provided your e-mail address to a third party and have actively chosen or requested, on an opt-in basis, to receive e-mail offers from other parties. These offers may be based on information you provided in your initial transaction with us, in surveys, from information that may indicate purchasing preferences and lifestyle, as well as information available from external sources, such as census bureau data. These e-mail offers come directly from Athena security. You can opt out from receiving e-mail offers as described below in the section, "Declining E-mail Offers."
When we send e-mails to you, we may be able to identify information about your e-mail address, such as whether you can read graphic-rich html e-mails. If your e-mail address is html-enabled, we may choose to send you graphic-rich html e-mails.
Please note that we do not provide your e-mail address to our business partners. However, we may send you offers on behalf of our business partners. Keep in mind that if you take advantage of an offer from an Athena Security business partner and become their customer, they may independently wish to send offers to you. In this case, you will need to inform them separately if you wish to decline receiving future offers from them.
Our goal is to deliver offers to people who we believe will find them of value. Offers are developed and managed under strict conditions designed to safeguard the security and privacy of customer personal information.
Declining E-mail Offers
Athena security provides customers with an easy means to decline receiving e-mail offers. Although some customers tell us they appreciate receiving notice of these carefully designed opportunities, we recognize the importance of providing you with choices. At any time, you may request to discontinue receiving these offers from us by simply replying to the e-mail and informing us of your preferences. All e-mail offers that you receive from Athena security will inform you of how to decline receiving further e-mail offers. Additionally, you may set or change your e-mail preferences online at any time.
Children
We do not use www.athenasecurity.net to knowingly solicit data from or market to children under the age of 13.
