We may also inform your company about products and services, sales and special offers that might benefit your business. When you register online or participate in a survey, you will have the opportunity to sign up for e-mails about our products, services, sales and special offers. We may also send you email, faxes, mail or call your business with information about our product and service offerings if you have provided us with your business' name and address, email address, fax or phone numbers.

Sale of Business:

AOP reserves the right to transfer any information we have about your business in the event we sell or transfer all or a portion of our business or assets to a third party acquirer.

Please note that AOP must provide your business information in response to a search warrant or other legally valid inquiry or order, or to an investigative body in the case of a breach of an agreement or contravention of law, or as otherwise required by law.

Additional Information about our Sites

Visiting our Sites:

In general, you can visit our Sites without telling us who you are or providing us with any information. However, we collect the IP (Internet protocol) addresses of all visitors to our Sites and other related information such as page requests, browser type, operating system and average time spent on our Sites. We use this information to monitor and improve our Sites.

Cookies:

Our Sites use a technology called "cookies". A cookie is a tiny element of data that our Sites and our third party technology providers can send to your browser, which may then be stored on your hard drive so we can recognize you when you return. All pages on our Sites where you are prompted to log in or that are customizable require that you accept cookies. If you have registered with our Sites, these cookies (1) may let us know who you are, (2) are necessary to access your account information (stored on our computers) in order to deliver products and personalized services, and (3) will provide us and our service providers with information that we will use to personalize our Sites in accordance with your preferences. Cookies are also required to optimize your shopping experience in that they allow you to add multiple items to your shopping basket before checking out and help us to recommend relevant products to you. You may set your Web browser to notify you when you receive a cookie. However, should you decide not to accept cookies from our Sites, you will limit the functionality we can provide when you visit our Sites.

Tracer Tags:

Our Sites may also use a technology called "tracer tags". These may also be referred to as "Clear GIFs" or "Web Beacons". This technology allows us and our third party technology providers to understand which pages you visit on our Sites. These tracer tags are used to help us optimize and tailor our Sites for you and other future website visitors.

Third party links:

Our Sites may include links to our business partners' websites, vendors and advertisers. Except as provided herein, we will not provide any of your business information to these third parties without your prior consent.

AOP provides links to third party websites as a convenience to the user. The inclusion of any link does not imply AOP endorsement of any other company, its websites, or its products and/or services. These linked websites have separate and independent terms of use and privacy policies, which we recommend you read carefully. We have no control over such websites and therefore have no responsibility or liability for the manner in which the organizations that operate such linked websites may collect, use or disclose and otherwise treat your business information.

Security of Business Information:

We will maintain the confidentiality of all business information collected in our Call Centers, our Sites and from our Service Providers and will only disclose such information to employees and Service Providers who require such information for the purposes described in this Confidentiality and Security Statement. We maintain administrative, technical and physical safeguards to protect against unauthorized access, use, modification and disclosure of business information in our custody and control.

Security Measures on our Sites

Secure Shopping:

When you place orders on our Sites, all of your order information, including your credit or debit card number and delivery address, is transmitted through the Internet using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology. SSL technology causes your browser to encrypt your order information before transmitting it to our secure server. SSL technology, an industry standard, is designed to prevent someone other than operators of our Sites from capturing and viewing your business information.

AOP also takes the following measures to protect your business information online:

Passwords:

To provide you with an increased level of security, online access to your business information is protected with a password. We strongly recommend that you do not disclose your password to any third party. AOP will never ask you for your password in any unsolicited correspondence such as letters, phone calls or e-mail messages.

Order Information:

Since any order information you provide to us on our Sites will be transmitted using a secure connection, if your Web browser cannot support this level of security, you will not be able to order products through our Sites.

No data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. While we strive to protect your company's business information from unauthorized access, use or disclosure, AOP cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us on our Sites.
