Privacy Policy
Information Collected
In general, you can visit this website without telling us who you are or revealing any information about yourself. Our web servers collect the domain names, not the email addresses, of visitors. Our web servers also seek to place a “cookie” (a small data file) on your computer’s hard drive which allows the server to determine the computer when it visits again, in order to track statistical information about navigation to and throughout certain areas of our site, and to A&D promotions on other sites. This cookie is not used to obtain your name or any personal data, and the information that is tracked is used only for internal purposes, such as to improve site navigation and to measure the effectiveness of our promotional placements, and is not shared with anyone other than A&D affiliates and contractors who assist A&D in these efforts and are bound to confidentiality. However, if you prefer not to accept cookies you can set your browser to reject them or to alert you before one is placed.
In addition, there are portions of this web site where we may need to collect personal information from you for a specific purpose, such as to provide you with certain information that you request. The information collected from you may include your name, address, telephone number, fax number, or email address. For electronic access to annual reports and proxy statements, we collect your tax identification number to verify your shareholder status. For our supplier diversity site, we necessarily collect information about gender and ethnicity, such as whether your business is female owned. This website is not intended for persons under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly solicit or collect personal information from or about children, and we do not knowingly market our products or services to children.
Use of Collected Information
Domain name information that we collect is not used to personally identify you, but instead is aggregated to measure the number of visits, average time spent on the site, pages viewed, etc. We use this information to measure the use of our site and to improve the content of our site.
When other information is collected about you, such as your name and email address we generally let you know at the time of collection how we will use the personal information. Usually we use the personal information you provide only to respond to your inquiry or to process your request (such as to receive electronic annual reports or to be added to our supplier diversity database). This information may be shared with other A&D businesses, but only if necessary to fulfill your request or for related purposes.
We may share the personal information you provide with other companies we have hired to provide services to us. These companies – our vendors – are contractually bound to use personal information we share with them only to perform the services we have hired them to provide. We do not share, sell, or lease personal information about you to any third parties for their marketing use. We will release information about you if you direct us to do so, or if we are required by law to do so, or in other legally limited circumstances (for example, to protect your account from fraud).
If you register with one of A&D’s business units online, they may use this information to provide you with custom information about A&D’s offerings in support of your business needs. They may also need to place a cookie as discussed previously in order to provide you with tailored information. You should review the privacy policy associated with that A&D business’ website for further information about that A&D business’ privacy practices.
Links to Other Sites
A&D’s website may contain links to other sites such as A&D distributors and sales affiliates. While we try to link only to sites that share our high standards and respect for privacy, we are not responsible for the content, security, or privacy practices employed by other sites.
Security of Collected Information
We maintain strict physical, electronic, and administrative safeguards to protect your personal information from unauthorized or inappropriate access. We restrict access to information about you to those A&D workers who need to know the information in order to respond to your inquiry or request. Workers who misuse personal information are subject to disciplinary action.
