ANSER Privacy Policy

The ANSER website is managed by Analytic Services Inc. (ANSER).

The purpose of this website is to provide information about ANSER to the general public. For site security purposes and to ensure that this service remains available to all users, our computer system employs software programs to monitor network traffic to identify unauthorized attempts to upload or change information, or otherwise cause damage.

We are always conscious and respectful of your personal privacy and we recognize the importance of protecting your personal information. We have provided this Privacy Policy to inform you how we intend to treat your Personal Information. Most visitors to this website will not leave any Personal Information; however, we believe you should be aware of the extent of information gathered. That being said, this Privacy Policy will answer any questions you may have about the kind of information we may collect and how we may use it when you visit our website and/or send us an e-mail.

Information Collection and Use

Except for authorized law enforcement investigation and to maintain required correspondence files, no other attempts are made to identify individual users or their usage habits. Raw data logs are used to simply determine how many users are accessing the site, which pages are the most popular, and, from time to time, from which top-level domain users are coming.

When you send us an e-mail, we do retain the content of the e-mail, your e-mail address, and our response in order to handle any follow-up questions you may have. We also use this information to measure how effectively we address your concerns.

Information Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or lease your name or any other personal information to anyone. We occasionally contract with other companies to provide limited services on our behalf, including packaging, mailing and delivering purchases, sending postal mail and processing event registration. We will only provide those companies the information they need to deliver the service, and they are prohibited from using that information for any other purpose.

ANSER will disclose your personal information, without notice, only if required to do so by law to: (1) protect and defend the rights or property of ANSER; (2) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on ANSER; and, (3) act in urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety of ANSER customers and/or team members/partners, visitors to ANSER’s website and/or the public.

Protection of Personal Information

We carefully protect your data from loss, misuse, unauthorized access or disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Your personal information is never shared outside the company without your permission, except under conditions explained above. Inside the company, data is stored in a controlled environment with limited access.

Children’s Online Privacy Protection

While none of the ANSER’s web pages are directed towards children, we are committed to complying with the United States’ Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). If a child has provided us with personally-identifiable information without parental or guardian consent, the parent or guardian should e-mail us to remove the information and cancel the e-mail subscription.

Cookies

The ANSER websites and Google Analytics store small fragments of text, called "cookies," in the visitor's web browser with limited information such as how the visitor was directed to the website, whether the visitor has submitted a form, or how recently the visitor last accessed the ANSER websites.

ANSER uses these cookies to measure the performance of the ANSER website. Please review your Internet browser's help file for instructions on rejecting or deleting cookies.

Please note: Some website pages and applications that use cookies may not function properly, may provide less relevant information, or maybe slower if cookies are rejected.

Digital Millennium Copyright Act

Analytic Services Inc. (“ANSER”) will respond to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (the text of which can be found at the U.S. Copyright Office website, www.copyright.gov/) and other applicable intellectual property laws. A response may include removing or disabling access to material claimed to be the subject of infringing activity. If we remove or disable access to comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, we will make a good-faith attempt to contact the owner or administrator of each affected site so that the owner or administrator may make a counter-notification pursuant to sections 512(g)(2) and (3) of that act. Analytic Services Inc. will document all notices of alleged infringement on which we act.

To file a notice of infringement with us, you must provide a written communication (by fax or regular mail) that sets forth the items specified below. Please note that you will be liable for damages (including costs and attorneys’ fees) if you materially misrepresent that a product or activity is infringing your copyrights. Accordingly, if you are not sure whether certain material of yours is protected by copyright laws, we suggest that you first contact an attorney.

To expedite our ability to process your request, please use the following format:

  1. Identify in sufficient detail the copyrighted work that you believe has been infringed. For example, “The copyrighted work at issue is the text that appears on www.__________.”
  2. Identify the material that you claim is infringing the copyrighted work listed in item #1 above.
  3. Provide information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact you (an email address is preferred).
  4. Provide information, if possible, sufficient to permit us to notify the owner or administrator of the web page that allegedly contains infringing material (an email address is preferred).
  5. Include the following statement: “I have a good-faith belief that use of the copyrighted materials described above on the allegedly infringing web pages is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.”
  6. Include the following statement: “I swear, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notification is accurate and that I am the copyright owner or am authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.”
