GENERAL PRIVACY INFORMATION COLLECTION, USE, DISCLOSURE AND SECURITY OF PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION
Direct Collection of PII: Aaron Academy collects personally identifiable information ("PII"), such as your full name, e-mail address, mailing address or telephone number, only in order to create or enhance our relationship with you. We collect PII from you directly when you voluntarily submit information to us by requesting materials or event registrations.
Use by Aaron Academy of PII: We use PII only to send materials such as viewbooks, applications, or event information. When you give us information for a specific purpose, we will use that information solely for that purpose unless we tell you otherwise and give you an opportunity to "opt out."
Linked Websites: Aaron Academy's website may contain links to other Internet sites operated by other organizations. Aaron Academy is not responsible for the privacy practices of websites operated by third parties that are linked to our website. Once you've left Aaron Academy's site via such a link, you should check the applicable privacy policy of the third party to determine how they will handle any PII they collect from you.
Internal Security: Aaron Academy uses reasonable administrative, technical, personnel and physical measures to safeguard PII in its possession against loss, theft and unauthorized use, disclosure or modification.
Third Party Access to PII at Aaron Academy: Aaron Academy will not share PII with any third party except to a person or entity who provides support for the internal operations of the website and who does not disclose or use that information for any other purpose. When we give third parties access to PII, they must first agree to maintain security and confidentiality consistent with this Privacy Policy.

If you would like to know whether Aaron Academy has collected PII about you, please send us the activities that you participated in on our website which requested PII; after reviewing the relevant databases, we will confirm whether we have collected such information about you. You may review PII about you in our records at any time provided you first give us proof of your identity via postal mail or by fax, such as a copy of a valid driver's license with your name and address. You may request changes into the PII we have that pertains to you, and/or end any direct communications with you, or even delete your PII altogether.
Notification of Changes in this Policy: We may change this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will give notice of changes in this space so you can be kept abreast by visiting this site from time to time. Despite any changes in policy, however, we only will use information in accordance with the privacy policy in effect when the information was collected.
Indirect Collection of non-personally identifiable information: We may also collect information from you passively through the use of cookies. Cookies are small bits of information that the operators of Internet sites place on the hard drive of your computer. Cookies remember information about your activities on the site and enable the operator of the site to make your visits to our website more enjoyable. At this time, Aaron Academy employs cookies to identify each user as a unique visitor, so that we can determine if you are a new or returning user. Users may also optionally store a cookie that contains a username and password for easy logon. These cookies are not currently associated with any PII. Also, you can program your computer to warn you each time a cookie is being sent or to refuse cookies completely. Aaron Academy also records your PC's IP address. We use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server and to administer our Web site by identifying which parts of our site are most heavily used, and the location and computer specifications of our users. We do not link IP addresses to anything personally identifiable. This means that user sessions will be tracked, but the users will remain anonymous. The Aaron Academy staff uses the information gathered above to tailor site content to user needs, and to generate statistical reports. At no time do we disclose site usage by individual IP addresses. Web server logs are retained on a temporary basis and then deleted completely from our systems.
