Privacy Notice – Online Supplement
This section describes our practices regarding information we receive about you during visits to this web site. The amount and type of information we receive depends on how you use this site.
Normal Web Site Usage
You can visit our web site to read product and company information, or use our on-line tools without revealing any personal information. The only information we collect and store during normal web site usage is the name and address of your Internet service provider, the web site you last visited, the pages you request, the date and time of those requests and the number of visits you made to our website. Web site log files are generated that collect the IP address of the visitor, as well as date, time and pages visited. Aggregate reports for web visitors are generated that do not contain personally identifiable information. These log files are used for the exclusive purpose of monitoring server load and delivering content to customers that is relative to their needs. We do not distribute or share IP information with any third parties.
We use this information to generate statistics and measure website activity in order to improve the usefulness of customer visits to our website. This same information may be shared with third parties in order to provide these services or to analyze, store, or aggregate the information. It may also be shared with other third parties, working with us to improve our services or our website. During normal web site usage, we do not collect or store personally identifiable information such as name, mailing address, email address, phone number, or Social Security number.
On-Line Collection of Personally Identifiable Information
Occasionally, we will request personally identifiable information in order to provide the web site visitor with a service or correspondence (e.g., promotions and mailed brochures). This information, such as name, mailing address, email address, type of request, and possibly additional information, is collected and stored in a manner appropriate to the nature of the request as determined by us and is used to fulfill your request. The information you provide is used by us to improve the services we provide you. This information may also be provided to agencies for use on our behalf in accordance with our Privacy Notice. However, it is never provided or sold to any other company for that company’s independent use.
Please note that our website may provide links to third party sites not controlled by us. We suggest that you check the specific Privacy Notices of any site before providing any personally identifiable information.
Electronic Mail Sent to Us That Contains Personal Information
Internet users may decide to send us personally identifying information, for example, in an electronic mail message containing information about your account with us. We will only use this information to identify the user as our customer and to determine how to respond to the electronic mail. We will use this information for the purpose identified in the email message and to enhance our understanding of you in order to improve our services to you. If you contact Albion Allen Inc. by e-mail, you should be aware that e-mail transmissions might not be secure. Information you send by e-mail could be viewed in transit by a third party. Albion Allen Inc. will have no liability for disclosure of your information due to errors or unauthorized acts of third parties during transmission.

Internet Services
To use our Internet services, such as online account access, we require a certain amount of personally identifying information (e.g., name, account number and other applicable information) we can use to verify you as our customer. We use this to identify and access data in the existing relationship we have with you in order to provide you with the requested services. We request email addresses as an alternate means of contacting you. Providing your email address is optional, except when you request an Internet delivered service, then it is necessary for us to have your email address in order to honor your request. We may also use this information to enhance our understanding of you and improve our services.
What Are Cookies
A “cookie” is a small line of text that is stored within your browser when you visit a cookie-enabled website. As you browse the Web, cookie-enabled sites will send cookies to your browser, along with pages. Your browser probably has options that will let you control whether the browser accepts cookies, rejects cookies, or notifies you each time a cookie is sent to you.
If your browser is set to reject cookies, cookie-enabled websites will not recognize you when you return. This provides you with anonymity, but it also makes it very difficult to offer you customized services. It is also less secure than using cookies, because all of your specific data must be sent to the website each time you view a page. Accepting cookies means your private data can stay at the Web server, and the only information transmitted over the Internet is your ID cookie.
If your browser is set to accept cookies, any cookies that are sent to your browser are stored in your computer for a period of time. There are a few different types of cookies. A “session” cookie is stored only in your computer’s working memory (RAM) and only lasts for your browsing session. When you close all of your browser’s windows, or when you shut down your computer, the session cookie disappears forever. A “permanent” cookie is stored on your computer’s hard drive until a specified date, which could be tomorrow, next week, or 10 years from now. Permanent cookies stay on your computer until either a) they expire, b) they are overwritten with newer cookies, c) you manually remove them.
We use permanent cookies to supply visitors to our site with a customized experience. These cookies do not involve personally identifiable information. We also use session cookies to customize your experience during a session, to aid in your navigation and use of the site, to develop generic web site metrics and other similar uses.
Effective Date; Changes to Our Policy
This Privacy Policy was last updated on: January 1, 2016. We reserve the right to change our Privacy Policy and Privacy Notice. A revised Privacy Policy or Privacy Notice applies only to data collected subsequent to its effective date. If we make substantial changes to our policy, we will post the changes on our website.
