Privacy Policies:
(Last Update: 4 September 2003)
INTRODUCTION
ATR is committed to protecting the privacy of
our Visitors and Customers. Our privacy policy
governs our use of private Visitor information and
other information about our Visitors and Customers.
ATR complies with the America Online (AOL)
Certified Merchant privacy policy.
Purpose
ATR believes that our online
Visitors and
Customers need to be provided clear and
prominent notice regarding what personal information
is being collected about them, how it will be used,
whether or not it will be disclosed, and if so, to
whom.
Many entities have examined the issue of privacy and
developed guidelines for establishing reasonable
policies. We believe that by addressing these
issues, we will fulfill the goals of fair
information use supported by the U.S. government and
a variety of industry groups:

website. We do not disclose this information to
third parties, except for those with whom we
have contracted to analyze and safeguard the
data on our behalf. |

We may use web browser "cookies"
to track progress through our Web site, but the
cookies will not be used to collect or store

Information
Sharing/Disclosure.
 |
We do not share navigational
data with outside companies, except with those
with whom we have contracted to analyze and
safeguard the data on our behalf. |
 |
To offer our products and
services in the best way possible, ATR contracts with third party service
partners. These partners provide us with data
collection, storage, analysis and reporting
services and are restricted from using your
information in any way other than to help us
make our site and services more useful to you
and our other visitors. If you would like to
opt-out of having your personal information

contracted, please

We do not disclose individual
names or customer contact information (such as
telephone numbers, email address, or various
personal identification numbers), to any third
party without your prior consent, except as
required by law, or as needed to fulfill an
order or deliver a product that a customer has
ordered.
Service partners will abide by ATR's
privacy policies.
Additionally, we may share information with law
enforcement agencies or other companies
assisting us in fraud prevention or
investigations.
In support of maintaining a safe and secure
environment for credit card purchases, it is
essential to our customers that we use credit
card and other billing account numbers only for
the fulfillment of purchases or other
transactions initiated by our Customers. We do
not use credit card or other billing account
numbers in other ways without your prior
consent. |
 |
We do not release to third
parties specific customer account information
except to comply with valid legal process or in
reasonable efforts to fulfill a transaction
initiated by our Customers. |
 |
We provide Customers with the
opportunity to update or correct contact and
billing information.
We provide to our customers a means to update
and ensure the accuracy of their online contact
and billing information. For security reasons,
we will not disclose the original information
directly to the customer, but rather provide a
means to reenter changes to the information on
record. |
Online Purchases.
The objective of the online purchases principle is
to protect the information about customer
transactions and other online uses from misuse and
unauthorized disclosure.

Web site. We do not give out this purchase data
to others except as specified below: |
 |
We do not give out information
about what individual customers purchase, except
to complete the transactions or to comply with
valid legal process.
However, pursuant to specific contracts, we may
be required provide third-parties with listings
of specific groups of customers who have made
purchases. Generally, this data will be
aggregated and not individually identifiable,
but this may not be true in all cases. |
 |
When we facilitate a
transaction which is to be fulfilled by an
outside party, we will not use the specific,
individually identifiable transaction
information collected from a customer for
purposes other than fulfilling the transaction
without your prior consent. |
Choice.
We give you choices about how we use your personal
information.
The objective of the choice principle is to allow
customers to opt-out of future marketing offers.

contact information to unaffiliated third
parties for marketing purposes without your

information principle is to assure you that we
actively protect your privacy using a variety of
security and controls. We use secure technology,
privacy protection controls and restrictions on
employee access in order to safeguard your personal
