UASP Privacy Policy  

Protection of Customer Information

We understand the importance of privacy to our customers and visitors to UASP web site. For many years, our policy has been to treat what we learn about our customers as confidential. For example, we will not give or sell confidential or Personal Information (as described below) about our customer to any third party not affiliated with their transaction, except as required by law or as necessary to provide UASP services to the customer. 

Some of the information collected by UASP is data which relates to an identifiable person ("Personal Information"). Examples of Personal Information are names, addresses, e-mail addresses and telephone numbers. We never sell information to third parties that could be used to specifically identify an individual customer or group of customers. Finally, we do provide Personal Information to government agencies as required by law or regulation. 

Security and Integrity of Information 

We treat our data as assets that must be protected against loss and unauthorized access. We employ information security techniques to appropriately protect confidential information from unauthorized access by users inside and outside the company. Access to customer information is limited to those employees who have a legitimate business need for that information. 

Retention of Customer Information 

We retain information, including Personal Information, about customers as necessary for business purposes. 

Customers are Responsible for Protecting Information and Systems on Their Premises 

Some information about UASP customers is stored on customer computers. Customers concerned about the security of their information in these systems should secure it by activating passwords and using physical access controls. When these systems (hardware or software) are provided by UASP, we provide tools to facilitate customer efforts to safeguard their information. 

The UASP Web Site 

The following paragraphs describe our commitment to the protection of Personal Information as it applies to the UASP Web Site. What Information We Collect And How We Will Use It 

Users can visit most areas of the UASP Web Site without revealing who they are or providing any information about themselves. However, some of our interactive services require that users identify themselves in order to enable the interactive function. We may ask users to provide some Personal Information in these situations. 

Links to Other Sites 

UASP provides links to external sites as a convenience to the user. The inclusion of any link does not imply UASP endorsement of the external site company, its web site, or the products and services it promotes and sells. UASP is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such web sites.

Web Surveys 

From time to time, we include survey forms on the UASP Web Site asking users for contact and demographic information (such as zip code or age). We use the responses from the surveys to better understand our customers' needs and to create a web site that respond to their interests. Customers may opt-out of participating in follow-up surveys. UASP will not disclose survey response information to companies or individuals outside UASP with one exception:

1. To vendors who are required to maintain the confidentiality of the information and are restricted from using the information for any purpose other than helping to provide services to UASP or UASP customers.

An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to a computer whenever it is connected to the Internet. We log these addresses and analyze them to understand where requests originate so that we can provide the most efficient service, enhance security, ensure appropriate usage and produce traffic volume statistics.
