Introduction
Welcome to Alliant Event Services Inc.
online, which includes alliantevents.com and
visionmasterav.com (the "AES Sites").
The AES Sites are owned by Alliant Event Services
Inc.. This Privacy Policy is designed to tell
you how the AES Sites collect, use, and disclose
the information you provide via the Internet.
By using the AES Sites, you acknowledge that
you have reviewed, and agree to, the terms
of this Privacy Policy and the Terms of Use.
If you do not agree to this Privacy Policy
and the Terms of Use, do not use the AES Sites.
Scope of Privacy Policy
/ Links
This Privacy Policy applies only to
the AES Sites listed in the preceding paragraph.
Although AES Sites may provide you with links
to other Web sites, including those of our
business partners and/or service providers,
those Web sites are not covered by this Privacy
Policy. We strongly encourage you to read
the privacy policy of every Web site you visit,
including those Web sites to which this Site
provides links. Whenever you link to any other
Web site from the AES Sites, you are solely
responsible for any interactions you may have
with that Web site. Links from this Site to
other Web sites will typically open in a separate
browser window while the browser window for
the AES Site remains open in the background.
Who Should Use this
Site
AES Sites are not intended for use
by children under the age of 13, and we will
not knowingly collect personally identifiable
information from such individuals.
Active Information
Collection
At various points on the AES Sites,
you might choose to actively provide certain
kinds of information, including personally
identifiable information, such as full name,
address, phone number, e-mail address, etc.
The Site typically will indicate which information
is required and which information is optional
at the information collection point in question.
In any case, by submitting information via
an active information collection point at
any of the AES Sites, you specifically consent
to the collection, use, and dissemination
of such information in accordance with this
Privacy Policy.
Active information collection points at this
Site may include:
Email
Reply Mechanisms
The AES Sites may provide you with
one or more e-mail mechanisms through which
you may submit questions or comments. Information
you provide via such e-mail mechanisms is
typically all optional. We may use the information
you provide in your e-mail to respond to your
inquiry, and we reserve the right to retain
whatever information you submit in your e-mail,
including your name, e-mail address, and any
comments or other information that you send
via the e-mail mechanism.
Question, Comment, and Feedback Forms
The AES Sites may post a form for you to use
in submitting questions, comments, and other
feedback about us, our affiliates, the AES
Sites, or our affiliates' products and services,
and other topics. We use such feedback information
to improve the AES Sites, and affiliates'
products and services as well as for marketing
and research purposes. Most information you
provide in such forms is optional, but you
will need to provide at least some personally
identifiable information, such as your name,
address, e-mail address, and phone number,
so that we may respond to your inquiry.
Product Information, and Catalog Request Forms
The AES Sites may include a form that you
can use to request information about us, our
affiliates, or our affiliates' products and
services, or to request catalogs or brochures
or price quotes. In addition to asking you
to identify the specific information or materials
in which you are interested, these forms may
request, among other things, your name, address,
and e-mail address, so that we may send you
the information or materials you request.
These forms may also request certain demographic
information about you to help us better understand
your interests and needs.
Surveys and Evaluation
The AES Sites may ask you to complete optional
surveys and evaluations about us, our affiliates,
the AES Sites, or our affiliates' products
and services, and other topics. These surveys
and evaluations might request personally identifiable
information, such as your name and e-mail
address, so that we can follow up with you.
Typically, we use such surveys and evaluations
to better understand our customers and their
preferences.
Registration Forms
Because access to portions of this Site is
restricted to authorized users, you may be
required to complete a registration form.
This form may ask you for a variety of information
that will help us to identify you and contact
you, such as your name, business address,
office e-mail address, office phone number,
and your relationship to us. Registration
information will be associated with your username
and password, without which you will not be
able to access the restricted portions of
the AES Sites.
Passive Information
Collection
The AES Sites uses various technologies to
passively collect information from you while
you are visiting (that is, you do not actively
provide this information). Such technologies
allow the AES Sites to collect a range of
non-personally identifiable information, including
your Internet Protocol (IP) address (a unique
identifier automatically assigned to your
computer when logging onto the Internet),
the type of Web browser and operating system
you use, the date and time you visit the Site,
the specific pages you visit on the Site,
and the address of the Web site you visited
before coming to this Site. We typically use
such passively collected information for a
variety of purposes, such as to administer
the Site, customize the Site to your preferences,
and compile aggregated statistics for marketing
and research purposes. We reserve the unrestricted
right to use this passively collected, non-personally
identifiable information, including, but not
limited to, selling, leasing, permitting access
to, or otherwise transferring it to our affiliates,
business partners, advertisers, dealers, and
other third parties.
Two types of passive information collection
technologies deserve special mention:
Cookies
"Cookies" are small text files that
store information about your interactions
with a particular Web site, either temporarily
(known as a "temporary" or "session"
cookie, and deleted once you close your browser
window) or more permanently on the hard drive
of your computer (known as a "permanent"
or "persistent cookie"). Cookies
can make it easier to use a Web site by allowing
servers to access certain information quickly:
• Session cookies can be used to help
a user's browser navigate a Web site more
smoothly and may show up if the user comes
from a Web site with which the subsequent
Web site has some relationship (e.g., a Web
site of an affiliated company) and can give
helpful information.
• Persistent cookies can be used to
customize a Web site for a user, such as by
storing passwords, preferences, and registration
and account information so that users do not
have to reenter them each time they visit
a Web site.
This Site uses both session/temporary cookies
and persistent/permanent cookies to store
information that allows us to offer you better
customer service and to navigate through the
Site with ease. To make the Site easier to
use, we combine information collected via
cookies with personally identifiable information.
Note that if you configure your browser to
reject cookies, you might not be able to access
important functions or areas of the Site or
enjoy certain conveniences at this Site.
Other Uses and Disclosures
of Information
As indicated above, we use information we
collect from you via this Site for a variety
of purposes. Unless otherwise provided above,
we may also use personally and non-personally
identifiable information you submit via this
Site in the following ways:
• to conduct internal marketing and
research; and
• to improve the content of the Site.
From time to time, our service providers may
have access to information you submit via
the AES Sites to provide operational or other
support services for the AES Sites (e.g.,
Web hosting or database services). We have
put in place agreements with such service
providers to protect against unauthorized
uses or disclosures of such information.
Except as otherwise provided in the "Active
Information Collection" section above,
we also reserve the right to sell, lease,
provide access, or otherwise transfer personally
identifiable information you submit via the
AES Sites to our business partners (including
e-mail delivery services and content providers),
affiliates, and dealers for the purposes described
in this Privacy Policy.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in this Privacy Policy or elsewhere on the
AES Sites, we reserve the right to share or
transfer any information you submit via the
AES Sites to another person or company in
connection with the sale, assignment, or other
transfer of the business of the AES Sites
and/or Alliant Event Services Inc. to respond
to law enforcement requests; or where required
by applicable law, statute, regulation, ordinance,
subpoena, or court order. By submitting personally
identifiable information via the AES Sites,
you consent to such disclosures in accordance
with this Privacy Policy.
Data Security,
Although we take steps to protect personally
identifiable information you provide via the
AES Sites from loss, misuse, or unauthorized
alteration, no system is 100% secure or error-free.
Therefore, we do not, and cannot, guarantee
the security or accuracy of the information
we collect via this Site, and you acknowledge
that you are assuming the risk in transmitting
any information to us.
It is your responsibility to safeguard
any usernames and passwords you use to access
portions of this Site and to notify us if
you ever suspect that these usernames or passwords
have been compromised. You acknowledge that
you are solely responsible for any unauthorized
use of this Site conducted via your username
or password.
