ASAP may also receive information about Customers from other sources, including third parties from whom we have purchased data, and combine this information with Data we already have about you. This helps us to update, expand and analyse our records, identify new customers, and create more tailored advertising to provide products and services that may be of interest to you. ASAP uses Web Site Navigational Information to operate and improve the Company’s Websites. The Company may also use Web Site Navigational Information alone or in combination with Data about ASAP Customers and Data about ASAP Attendees to provide personalised information about the Company.

4. Web Site Navigational Information Cookies, Web Beacons and IP Addresses ASAP uses commonly-used information-gathering tools, such as cookies and Web beacons, to collect information as you navigate the Company’s Websites (“Web Site Navigational Information”). As described more fully below, we and our partners use these cookies or similar technologies to analyse trends, administer Websites and Services, track users’ movements around our Websites and Services, serve targeted advertisements and gather demographic information about our user base as a whole. This section describes the types of Web Site Navigational Information used on the Company’s Websites and Services, and how this information may be used. Cookies ASAP uses cookies to make interactions with the Company’s Websites easy and meaningful. When you visit one of the Company’s Websites, ASAP’s servers send a cookie to your computer or device. Standing alone, cookies do not personally identify you; they merely recognise your Web browser. Unless you choose to identify yourself to ASAP, either by responding to a promotional offer, opening an account, or filling out a Web form (such as a “Contact Me” or a “Free Trial” Web form) or have previously identified yourself to ASAP, you remain anonymous to the Company. ASAP uses cookies that are session-based and persistent-based. Session cookies exist only during one session. They disappear from your computer or device when you close your browser software or turn off your computer. Persistent cookies remain on your computer or device after you close your browser or turn off your computer. You can control the use of cookies at the individual browser level, but if you choose to disable cookies, it may limit your use of certain features or functions on our Websites or Services. The following sets out how ASAP uses different categories of cookies and your options for managing cookies’ settings:

Log Files, IP Addresses, URLs and Other Data As is true of most Websites, we gather certain information automatically to analyse trends in the aggregate and administer our Websites and Services. This information may include your Internet Protocol (IP) address (or the proxy server you use to access the World Wide Web), device and application identification numbers, your location, your browser type, your Internet service provider and/or mobile carrier, the pages and files you viewed, your searches, your operating system and system configuration information, and date/time stamps associated with your usage. Due to Internet communications standards, when you visit or use the Company’s Web sites and Services, we automatically receive the URL of the website from which you came and the website to which you go when you leave our Website. This information is used to analyse overall trends, to help us improve our Websites and Services, to track and aggregate non-personal information, and to provide the Websites and Services. For example, ASAP uses IP addresses to monitor the regions from which Customers and Visitors navigate the Company’s Websites. ASAP also collects IP addresses from Customers when they log into the Services as part of the Company’s “Identity Confirmation” and “IP Range Restrictions” security features. Do Not Track Currently, various browsers — including Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Safari — offer a “do not track” or “DNT” option that relies on a technology known as a DNT header, which sends a signal to Websites’ visited by the user about the user’s browser DNT preference setting. ASAP does not currently commit to responding to browsers’ DNT signals with respect to the Company’s Websites, in part, because no common industry standard for DNT has been adopted by industry groups, technology companies or regulators, including no consistent standard of interpreting user intent. ASAP takes privacy and meaningful choice seriously and will make efforts to continue to monitor developments around DNT browser technology and the implementation of a standard.

5. Sharing of information collected Service Providers ASAP may share Data about ASAP’s Visitors, Customers and Attendees with the Company’s contracted service providers so that these service providers can provide services on our behalf. These service providers are authorised to use your personal information only as necessary to provide the requested services to us. Without limiting the foregoing, ASAP may also share Data about ASAP’s Visitors, Customers and Attendees with the Company’s service providers to ensure the quality of information provided, and with third-party social networking and media Websites, such as Facebook, for marketing and advertising on those Websites. Unless described in this Privacy Statement, ASAP does not share, sell, rent, or trade any information with third parties for their promotional purposes. ASAP Affiliates The Company shares Data about ASAP Customers with other companies in order to work with them, including affiliates of the ASAP corporate group. For example, the Company may need to share Data about ASAP Customers with other companies within the ASAP corporate family for customer support, marketing, technical operations and account management purposes. Business Partners ASAP partner with other companies to jointly offer products, services, or programs (such solicitor services). If you purchase, specifically express interest in, or register for a jointly–offered product, service, or program from or through ASAP, the Company may share Data about ASAP Customers collected in connection with your purchase or expression of interest with our partner(s). ASAP does not control our business partners’ use of the Data about ASAP Customers that we collect, and their use of the information will be in accordance with their own privacy policies. If you do not wish for your information to be shared in this manner, you may opt not to purchase or specifically express interest in a jointly-offered product or service. Third Parties Section 4 of this Privacy Statement, Web Site Navigational Information, specifically addresses the information we or third parties collect through cookies and web beacons, and how you can control cookies through your Web browsers. We may also disclose your personal information to any third party with your prior consent. Compelled Disclosure ASAP reserves the right to use or disclose information provided if required by law or if the Company reasonably believes that use or disclosure is necessary to protect the Company’s rights and/or to comply with a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process.

6. International transfer of information collected The Company primarily stores Data about ASAP Customers and Data about ASAP Attendees on our IT platform which is provided by a company in the United States.

This Privacy Statement shall apply even if ASAP transfers Data about ASAP’s Customers or Data about ASAP Attendees to other countries.
