CAS sets high standards and has a strong commitment
to protect customers' privacy. When a user enters
the CAS Web site, our web server automatically
recognizes the consumer's domain name, but not
the e-mail address. This enables us to collect
aggregate information on what pages consumers
visit, information volunteered by the consumer,
such as survey information and/or site registrations,
and the e-mail address of those who communicate
with us via e-mail.
The information we collect is used to ensure
quality customer service, to improve the content
of our Web site, to notify consumers about updates
to our Web site and to contact consumers for marketing
purposes, and for other internal business purposes.
The CAS Web site does use cookies. "Cookies"
are small pieces of information that are stored
by your browser on your computer's hard drive.
Our cookies enable us to facilitate access to
different aspects of your account across our Web
site. If you select the option for aps.com to
remember your username and password, a cookie
file will be stored on your hard drive after you
log in. This allows us to re-populate your username
and password on our login form, saving you the
trouble of remembering it. You can choose to de-select
this option at any time, which will delete the
cookie file after you log in. Most Web browsers
automatically accept cookies, but you can usually
change your Web browser to not accept cookies.
If you do not want to receive e-mail from us
in the future, please let us know by e-mailing
us at info@casadvantage.com. We will remove your
name from our e-mail list. CAS reserves the right
to contact you should it become necessary for
administrative purposes.
If you supply us with your postal address or
telephone number on-line, you will only receive
information related to the reason for which you
provided us your address or telephone number.
From time to time, we may use customer information
for new, unanticipated uses not previously disclosed
in our privacy notice. If our information practices
change at some time in the future we will post
the policy changes to our Web site to notify you
of these changes and provide you with the ability
to opt out of these new uses. If you are concerned
about how your information is used, you should
check back at our Web site periodically.
Upon request, we offer visitors the ability to
have inaccuracies corrected in contact information.
Consumers can have this information corrected
by calling us at the above telephone number or
writing to us at the above address.
Note that once posted, you cannot change or remove
postings that are made in any chat rooms, message
or feedback areas that we may make available on
our Web site. Because such information will be
public, please exercise caution when posting such
information.
We strive to make our Web site secure. We use
industry-standard encryption technologies when
electronically transferring and receiving customer
information through the Web site. We have put
in place measures in our physical facilities we
believe appropriate to protect against the loss,
misuse or alteration of information collected
at our Web site. But, information transmitted
via e-mail is not secure or encrypted. Also, it
may be possible for an unauthorized person to
gain access to your information notwithstanding
our use of security measures. Therefore, please
note that you enter information in this Web site
at your own risk.
You can assist us in maintaining the security
of your information by being careful and responsible
when you are online and by being aware that you
are responsible for maintaining the secrecy of
any passwords and account information you have
regarding this Web site. We also advise that you
use up-to-date virus scanning software on your
computer to reduce the risk of encountering a
virus through e-mails. APS accepts no responsibility
or liability for any loss or damage arising from
the use of e-mail or their attachments, or for
any viruses or errors or delays in the contents
that result from e-mail transmissions.
