AmeraScope Media is concerned about your privacy and your rights as our customer. As part of the operation of AmeraScope Media certain pieces of information are gathered about our members and customers. Below are explanations regarding the types of information collected, what is done with it and your rights.

How We Gather Data
We gather information in a number of ways, depending on the section of our site you are using. This information is used for account management purposes so we can better suit your needs. Your personal information will never be gathered without your knowledge or understanding.

Contact Us
AmeraScope Media uses "contact us" forms as a way for clients, potential clients, and members to communicate with us. AmeraScope Media collects the information supplied by the sender of the "contact us" form in order to establish and maintain relationships with clients, potential clients, and members. AmeraScope Media also uses e-mail links located on various pages of the AmeraScope Media Web site to allow you to contact us with questions or comments you may have. AmeraScope Media welcomes these e-mail communications and makes efforts to respond to these communications where appropriate. E-mail communications and the ideas sent to AmeraScope Media in these e-mail communications become the property of AmeraScope Media. AmeraScope Media uses the e-mail communications to evaluate and improve its services and Web site. AmeraScope Media also may save these e-mail communications for future reference or use.

Registration
You may be required to register in order to be granted access to certain services and/or products at this Web site. At the time of registration, you may be prompted by one of our online forms to provide certain personal information to us (such as your name, company name, e-mail address, etc.) otherwise known as "Registration Data". We use Registration Data to send you information about our company and service, and to keep you informed of enhancements and complimentary products in which you might be interested. We also use Registration Data to tailor our Web site to your particular needs. We use demographic and profile information to tailor your experience at our site, showing you the content that we think you might be interested in, as well as, displaying the content according to your preferences. This Registration Data may be shared with other AmeraScope Media partners.

Newsletter / Mailing List
If a user wishes to opt-in to our mailing list, we ask for contact information such as name and e-mail address. Our mailing list will provide users with the latest site developments, new product lines, special offers, interesting information, and more. All information provided by the user for this list is optional.

Surveys and Contests
We may occasionally need to share your information with business partners who co-sponsor contests, surveys, or other services. In these cases, we will provide only the data that is needed to make the survey or contest successful. If we plan to share this type of information, we will notify you before we collect it. If you do not want AmeraScope Media to share your information, simply choose not to allow the transfer by not using or signing up for the contest or service in question. Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary and the user therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose this information. Contact information will be used to notify the winners and award prizes. Survey information will be used for purposes of monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction of this site.

Promotional Offers
When you sign up to receive promotional items from us, we may need to share some personal information with the third parties helping us to complete your transaction or send you the items you have requested. When we share your information with such third parties, we will disclose only the information needed to complete your transaction. You will be informed at the time of registering that the information gathered might be sent to third parties.

What Information Is Collected
We collect and store information about our customers, which includes contact information and other various pieces of information. We use this information to contact our customers through both e-mail and regular mail regarding the service and to alert them of new products and services. Through our services, we also collect and store information in a secure and private manner on behalf of our customers. This information includes, but is not limited to, e-mail address lists, articles, survey answers, letters, and usage statistics.

In an attempt to customize our service and provide members with the information they may be most interested in, AmeraScope Media also conducts internal research on our users` demographics, interests, and behavior based upon information members provide directly to AmeraScope Media and information that AmeraScope Media may collect from third party sources. AmeraScope Media may combine or otherwise overlay some or all of the foregoing information to build profiles about AmeraScope Media members, which may be individual specific or in aggregate form. By becoming an AmeraScope Media member, you consent to AmeraScope Media employing the foregoing techniques in its continuing efforts to better serve its members by providing them with the information in which they may be most interested. AmeraScope Media does not use information about its members for any purposes unrelated to the services offered by AmeraScope Media.

As discussed above, AmeraScope Media may, from time to time, obtain information about its members from third party sources. Please be aware that this Privacy Policy does not cover the conduct or practices of third party sources. However, AmeraScope Media will treat information that it receives from third party sources according to the terms of this Privacy Policy.
