What kind of information do we collect on this web site?

This information is only collected through direct correspondence with AlmondNet.

It is not necessary to provide any personally identifiable information in order to simply browse our web site.

How do we use Personally Identifiable Information?
Unless disclosed otherwise at the time of collection and in this policy, we do not share any personally identifiable information with any third party other than our employees and companies with which we work to serve your needs (these companies are not permitted to use your information for any secondary purposes), unless it is necessary to respond to a specific inquiry or request made by you in correspondence with AlmondNet, or to comply with applicable law. We will never sell your information to any third party without your consent, except in connection with the sale or merger of AlmondNet or a division of AlmondNet. See “Changes to this policy” section below.
If you voluntarily choose to provide your email address or other personally identifiable information to us, we will only use that information to respond to your specific question or request. We will not give that information to a third party to promote their products or services directly to you.
We reserve the right to disclose your personally identifiable information as required by law, when we believe that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights or to comply with a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process served on AlmondNet.
What types of security procedures are in place?
The security of your information is very important to us. AlmondNet follows generally accepted industry standards to protect your information. All information collected by the AlmondNet system is stored in databases that are stored in a secure data center located in the United States. Both physical and Internet access is strictly protected and limited. Access is granted only to those with authorization. However, no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
