PRIVACY
Aum has created this privacy policy statement to inform you of the information gathering and dissemnation practices for our website. Because Aum wants to demonstrate its commitment to your privacy, we have agreed to disclose our information practices and notify you of:
• What personally identifiable information is collected from you through our website.
• How the information is used and with whom the information may be shared.
• The kind of security procedures that are in place to protect your information.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding Aum's privacy policy, please contact us.
Information Collection and Use
Aum is the sole owner of the information collected on this site. We will not sell or rent this information to other third parties, however some of your information may be shared for the purpose of processing and delivering your order. Aum collects information from our users at several different points on our website.
E-news Signup
When you sign up to receive our e-newsletter, you provide the following information to Aum:
• Your name.
• Your email address.
• Your postcode.
Usage Tracking
Aum's database tracks the traffic through our website. This information is used to compile overall statistics. This includes IP (internet protocol) addresses, browser type, ISP (internet service provider), referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time stamp, and number of clicks. We use this information to analyse trends, administer the site and track users' movement in the aggregate. The statistics help us determine which products and services best serve our members and guests. Aum also uses aggregate information from demographic surveys, traffic patterns and IP addresses to improve and customise our site.
Service Announcements
On rare occasions it may be necessary to send out a strictly service related announcement. For instance, if our service is temporarily suspended for maintenance we may send you an email. Generally, users may not opt-out of these communications, although you can deactivate your account. However, these communications are infrequent and are not promotional in nature.
Surveys & Competitions
From time to time, our site or the my.Aum site may request information from users via surveys or competitions. Participation is completely voluntary and the user therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose this information. Information requested may include contact information (such as name, address and email) or demographic information (such as postcode, age level). Contact information will be used to notify winners and award prizes. Survey information will be used for purposes of monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction of this site.
Security
Aum takes every precaution to protect our users' information. When users submit sensitive information via our website, this information is protected both online and off-line. While we use secure databases to protect sensitive information online, we also do everything in our power to protect user information off-line. All of our users' information is restricted in our offices. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job are granted access to personally identifiable information. Furthermore, employees are informed about our security and privacy practices and updated as new policies are added or revised. They are regularly reminded about the importance we place on privacy and what they can do to ensure that our customers' information is protected. Finally, the servers that we store personally identifiable information on are kept in a secure environment under restricted access. If you have any questions or concerns about security on our website feel free to contact us.
Correcting/Updating/Deleting/Deactivating
If a user's personally identifiable information changes (such as your postcode or email), or if a user no longer desires our services, we provide a way to correct, update or delete/deactivate that user's personally identifiable information. This can be done by clicking unsubscribe on one of our email newsletters.
Changes to our Privacy Policy
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes to this privacy statement so that our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it. We will use information in accordance with the privacy policy under which the information was collected.
If, however, we are going to use your personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the time of collection we will notify you via email. You will have a choice as to whether or not we use your information in this different manner. However, if you have opted out of all communication with the site, or deleted/unsubscribed your account, then you will not be contacted, nor will your personal information be used in this new manner. In addition, if we make any material changes in our privacy practices that do not affect user information already stored in our database, we will post a prominent notice on our web site notifying users of the change. In some cases where we post a notice we will also email users notifying them of the changes in our privacy practices.
