Privacy Policy
1. Acceptance of Terms
This Privacy Policy describes ADI’s policies and procedures on the collection, use and disclosure of your information. ADI (hereinafter referred to as “we”, “us”, “our” or ” ADI”) receives your information through our various web sites, APIs, services and third-parties (hereinafter referred to as the “Services”). When using any of our Services you consent to the collection, transfer, manipulation, storage, disclosure and other uses of your information as described in this Privacy Policy. Irrespective of which country that you reside in or create information from, your information may be used by ADI in the United States or any other country where ADI operates. This Privacy Policy is incorporated into and subject to the terms of the ADI Terms of Service. Each time you use the Services, you signify that you have read, understood and agree to be bound by the Terms of Service. If you do not agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy, you must discontinue using the Services and terminate your membership.
2. Information Collection and Use
Visitors of the website may view various web pages without providing any personal information. If you desire to have the ADI provide services or goods to you or an organization of which you have representative capacity, ADI may ask you to provide certain information about yourself or your organization by filling out and submitting one or more forms. Providing personal information is optional, but ADI reserves the right to refuse service to you if you are unable or unwilling to provide certain requested personal information as determined by ADI.
The personal information that you provide in connection with the use of the website or the products and/or services provided by ADI is protected in numerous ways. Access to your personal information collected during the purchasing of a product or service may be available through a password and unique user ID or e-mail address. The password is encrypted. ADI recommends that you do not divulge your password to anyone. In addition, your personal information resides on secure servers that only selected personnel and contractors have access to via password. ADI encrypts your personal information as it is transferred to the Company and thereby strives to prevent unauthorized parties from viewing such information. ADI collects your information in order to record, support and facilitate your use of the website and to prevent fraud and unlawful use. If you purchase or register for products and/or services, the personal information may be used to register your rights, if any, to technical support or other benefits that may be made available to users. Your personal information may also be used to track your preferences in order to provide an experience customized to your tastes, or to contact you in regards to changes to the site that may affect your account or to update you as to new or updated features. ADI does not share personal information it receives from residents of California or from residents of any other place with such other organizations for marketing purposes unless we have received an opt-in from you.
3. Log Data
In order to reduce errors in our database(s), authenticate our users, prevent fraud and prevent abuse of ADI’s web site and/or the product and services ADI provides, as well as to provide more consistent, relevant experiences to ADI’s users, ADI may on occasion supplement or correct the personal information you submit to ADI and your Internet Protocol (IP) address with information in our other databases or information from third-party sources. As permissible, ADI may also supplement the personal information you provide to ADI with demographic and other information stored in third-party databases.
4. Links
ADI may keep track of how you interact with links in posts by redirecting clicks or through other means. We do this to help improve our Services, including advertising, and to be able to share aggregate click statistics such as how many times a particular link was clicked on.
5. Cookies
Like many websites, we use “cookie” technology to collect additional website usage data and to improve our Services, but we do not require cookies for many parts of our Services such as searching and looking at public user profiles or lists. A cookie is a small data file that is transferred to your computer’s hard disk. ADI may use both session cookies and persistent cookies to better understand how you interact with our Services, to monitor aggregate usage by our users and web traffic routing on our Services, and to improve our Services. Most Internet browsers automatically accept cookies. You can instruct your browser, by editing its options, to stop accepting cookies or to prompt you before accepting a cookie from the websites you visit.
6. Third Party Services
ADI uses a variety of services hosted by third parties to help provide our Services and to help us understand the use of our Services. These services may collect information sent by your browser as part of a web page request, such as cookies or your IP request.
7. Information Sharing and Disclosure
ADI recognizes and appreciates the importance of responsible use of information collected on the website and in connection with the products and services provided by ADI. ADI will respect your legal rights regarding access to, and correction and deletion of, your personal information. ADI may communicate information to you regarding products, services, and special offers available from ADI unless you have opted not to receive such communications or such communications are prohibited by law, although in such cases ADI may find it necessary to continue to communicate with you regarding your use of the website and the products and services. In addition, you may receive communications and special offers from selected third party providers, but only if you previously opted in to receive such communications. ADI will not provide your name to other companies or organizations without your consent. If you have opted to receive email communications from our selected third party providers and later wish to discontinue receipt of these emails, please contact those third parties directly to update your preferences.
8. Service Providers
We engage certain trusted third parties to perform functions and provide services to us. We may share your personal information with these third parties, but only to the extent necessary to perform these functions and provide such services, and only pursuant to obligations mirroring the protections of this privacy policy. We may provide products and/or services that may require you to accept one or more privacy policies of third party providers. It is your duty to familiarize yourself with the privacy policies of the third party providers. If you do not accept the privacy policy of the third party providers, ADI reserves the right to refuse services to you.
9. Law and Harm
We may disclose your information if we believe that it is reasonably necessary to comply with a law, regulation or legal request; to protect the safety of any person; to address fraud, security or technical issues; or to protect ADI’s rights or property.
10. Business Transfers
In the event that ADI is involved in a bankruptcy, merger, acquisition, reorganization or sale of assets, your information may be sold or transferred as part of that transaction. The promises in this privacy policy will apply to your information as transferred to the new entity.
11. Non-Private or Non-Personal Information
ADI may collect information about the use of the web site and the third party software packages listed therein, such as the number of downloads, services purchased/utilized, how many users visit the website daily, web pages visited, and the IP address of your computer. This information is generally collected in aggregate form, without identifying any user individually, although IP address and Session ID in relation to purchases may be tracked as part of the Company’s customer order review and fraud prevention efforts. ADI may use aggregate, non-identifying statistical data for improving the website and the products and services provided by the Company.
12. Our Policy Towards Children
Our Services are not directed to people under 18. If you become aware that your child has provided us with personal information without your consent, please contact us. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 18. If we become aware that a child under 18 has provided us with personal information, we take steps to remove such information and terminate the child’s account.
13. Changes to Our Privacy Policy
From time to time ADI may update this Privacy Policy when our information practices are modified or changed. If we make any material changes to this policy, we may notify you by publication. Your continued use of the Services after we posts a revised Privacy Policy signifies your acknowledgement of such changes and agreement to be bound by the terms and conditions of such changes in the revised Privacy Policy. If you object to any such changes, you must cease using the Services. We therefore encourage you to periodically review this page for the latest information on our privacy practices.
