This Privacy Statement may change without any additional notice, so you are encouraged to review this policy regularly or anytime you have a concern about your privacy.  Your continued use of any of our web tools means that you accept the changes to this Privacy Statement.

Our policy regarding use of your individual identifying information supplied to us or collected via your experiences with our web tools covers these areas: 

Notice and Disclosure
This Online Privacy Statement is made available to you to make you aware of how ASSET collects and uses individual identifying information of visitors to the ASSET WWW site or any of our web tools.

ASSET collects the following information regarding visitors to our website: domain name, name, information regarding what pages are accessed, and information volunteered by you, such as survey information, e-mail address, or site registrations.

ASSET does make individual identifying information available to third parties, including business partners, for marketing purposes. ASSET does use such information to contact people for marketing purposes.

Choice/Consent
When you sign up for an email list, you will be given instructions at that time on how to remove yourself from that list.

Data Security
ASSET is committed to taking reasonable steps to protect the individual identifying information that you provide to us.

Cookies
A cookie is a small data file that certain WWW sites write to your hard drive when you visit them. A cookie file can contain information such as a user ID that the site uses to track the pages you've visited, but the only personal information a cookie can contain is information you supply yourself. A cookie can't read data off your hard disk or read cookie files created by other sites. Some parts of the ASSET WWW site use cookies to save information you might enter into forms more than once. We do this to simplify completing registrations. ASSET InterTech does not correlate this information with data about individual users, nor does it share this information or sell it to any third party.

Web Tools Integrated with ASSET Products
When you request access to the Model Library, the ScanWorks Maintenance Benefits Library, the DFT Analyzer Web Resources or the Self-Service Licensing Tools, information about the ASSET products you license and your computer's host ID and IP address may be sent to ASSET InterTech.  The information may be used to determine eligibility for accessing the web tools, to create your license file, to assist in assessing your needs for software upgrades, to update information in our sales and support databases, to assist in debugging web tool access problems, or to keep statistical data on web tool usage.  

The ASSET Users Group Message Board
The message board is designed to allow ASSET customers to communicate with other ASSET customers. ASSET uses ezboard for this service. Privacy of the message board is governed by the ezboard Privacy Policy. The ASSET administrator(s) for the message board may have access to individual identifying information, as detailed in the ezboard Privacy Policy. This information may be used to determine eligibility for access to the message board, to filter inappropriate usage of the message board, or to validate other internal records. ASSET is not responsible for the privacy of information posted on the message board by its customers or for any individual identifying information left unprotected by the user's self-managed profile settings.  

Support Wizard
ASSET uses a service called Support Wizard to manage technical support questions on the web.  Registration on Support Wizard requires your e-mail address in order to communicate with you.  Other contact information, such as your telephone and address can be supplied at your option.  Individual identifying information supplied to Support Wizard will be used to communicate with you about your technical needs or to validate other internal records. Confidential information that you write or attach in Support Wizard tickets is visible only by you and by ASSET employees, unless you specifically arrange with the administrator for others to see it.

The FTP Site
ASSET maintains both public and private ftp sites. The public site is for broadcasting public information to customers, such as product downloads. The private site is for transferring private data between ASSET and its customers. Access to the private (upload) directory is limited by both a customer login and by user IP address range. Therefore, advance registration is required before using the private ftp site. User login information, user IP addresses, and any information placed in private ftp site folders will be accessible only by the account owner and by ASSET employees. This information will not be shared with non-ASSET employees, unless specific permission is granted by the account owner.
