ABSHR
Privacy Policy
First
and foremost, all data and information entered into ABSHR
is the property of the ABSHR Member. Other than for normal,
authorized and routine website business initiated by Member’s
Users, American Business Services will not access, review,
alter or disseminate any Member’s information unless specifically
instructed by the Member’s Administrator.
ABSHR is committed
to protecting consumer privacy online. We believe that greater
protection of personal privacy on the Web will not only
protect consumers, but also increase consumer confidence
and ultimately their participation in online activities.
At ABSHR, we intend to give you as much control as possible
over your personal and company information.
The purpose
of our policy is to inform you about the types of information
we gather about you when you visit our site(s), how we may
use that information, whether we disclose it to anyone,
and the choices you have regarding our use of, and your
ability to correct, the information.
Our Site(s)
may contain links to other Web sites, including other affiliated,
approved, and professional websites. We have no control
over the privacy practices or the content of any of our
business partners, sponsors or other sites to which we provide
links from our sites. You should check the applicable privacy
policy of the web site sponsor when linking to other Web
sites.
ABSHR strives
to offer its visitors the many advantages of Internet technology
and to provide an interactive and personalized experience.
We may use Personally Identifiable Information (your name,
e-mail address, street address, telephone number and other
information) subject to the terms of this privacy policy.
Please note this policy applies only to information collected
by ABSHR and does not impact information collected or used
by ABSHR or its affiliates through other means.
How we
gather information from users
How we collect
and store information depends on the page you are visiting,
the activities in which you elect to participate and the
services provided. You can visit many pages on our site
without providing any information. Other pages may prompt
you to provide information, such as when you register for
access to portions of our site, sign up for membership,
or request certain features e.g., newsletters, news updates
and other.
Like most
Web sites, ABSHR also collects information automatically
and through the use of electronic tools that may be transparent
to our visitors. For example, we may log the name of your
Internet Service Provider or use "cookie" technology.
Among other things, the cookie may store your user name
and password, sparing you from having to re-enter that information
each time you visit. In certain cases, you can choose not
to provide us with information, for example by setting your
browser to refuse to accept cookies, but doing so may inhibit
site functionality.
What
we do with the information we collect
We will use
your information only as permitted by law. Aggregated Information
(information that does not personally identify you) may
be used in many ways. As one example, we may combine information
about your usage patterns with similar information obtained
from other users to learn which pages are visited most or
what features are most attractive. Aggregated Information
may occasionally be shared with our advertisers and business
partners, but cannot be used to contact you individually.
We also collect
information to enhance your visit and deliver more individualized
content.
As we continue
to develop our business, we may sell, buy, merge or partner
with other companies or businesses. In such transactions,
user information may be among the transferred assets. We
may also disclose your information in response to a court
order, at other times when we believe we are reasonably
required to do so by law, in connection with the collection
of amounts you may owe to us, and/or whenever we deem it
appropriate or necessary to give such information to law
enforcement authorities. Please note we may not provide
you with notice prior to disclosure in such cases.
Affiliated
sites, linked sites and advertisements
ABSHR expects
its partners, and third-party affiliates to respect the
privacy of our users. However, third parties, including
our partners, affiliates and other content providers accessible
through our site, may have their own privacy and data collection
policies and practices. For example, during your visit to
our site you may link to, or view as part of a frame on
a ABSHR page, certain content that is actually created or
hosted by a third party. Also, through ABSHR you may be
introduced to, or be able to access, information, Web sites,
features offered by other parties. ABSHR is not responsible
for the actions or policies of such third parties. You should
check the applicable privacy policies of those third parties
when providing information on a feature or page operated
by a third party.
While on our
site, partners or other third parties may use cookies or
other technology to attempt to identify some of your preferences
or retrieve information about you. For example, some of
our third parties may include cookies that enable the advertiser
to determine whether you have seen a particular article
before. Through features available on our site, third parties
may use cookies or other technology to gather information.
ABSHR does not control the use of this technology or the
resulting information and is not responsible for any actions
or policies of such third parties.
Please be
careful and responsible whenever you are online. Should
you choose to voluntarily disclose Personally Identifiable
Information in public areas on our site, such as in message
boards, chat areas or notices you post, that information
can be viewed by potential applicants or business partners.
Such activities are beyond the control of ABSHR and this
policy.
