PRIVACY POLICY
SIFCO is sensitive to privacy issues on the Internet and is committed
to protecting your privacy and providing you with a safe online experience.
When you browse the Site, you do so anonymously. You can visit SIFCOASC.COM
without telling us who you are or revealing any information about yourself.
There are times, however, when SIFCO may collect personally identifiable
information, such as your name and address. Usually, this information
is used only to respond to your inquiry, process an order or allow you
to access specific account information. There is also information about
your computer hardware and software that may be automatically collected
by SIFCO and may be shared with other web sites within the SIFCO family
of web sites. This information can include your IP address, browser type,
domain names, access times and referring web site addresses. This information
is used by SIFCO for the operation of the service, to maintain quality
of the service, and to provide general statistics regarding use of the
Site.
SIFCO may collect and use your personal information to operate the Site
and deliver the services you have requested. We may also use your personally
identifiable information to inform you of other products or services available
from SIFCO and its affiliates. SIFCO may also contact you with surveys
to conduct research about your opinion of current services or of potential
new services that may be offered. SIFCO keeps track of the web sites and
pages our customers visit within the Site, in order to determine what
web sites, web pages and services are the most popular. This data is used
to deliver customized content and advertising within SIFCO to customers
whose behavior indicates that they are interested in a particular subject
area.
We may, from time to time, contact you on behalf of external business
partners about a particular offering that may be of interest to you. In
those cases, your unique personally identifiable information (e-mail,
name, address, telephone number) is not transferred to the third party.
All such third parties are prohibited from using your personal information
except to provide these services to SIFCO, and they are required to maintain
the confidentiality of your information.
We will not disclose your personal information, without notice, unless
we are required to do so by law or we have a good faith belief that such
action is necessary to 1) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with
legal process served on SIFCO or the Site; 2) protect and defend the rights
or property of SIFCO or its affiliated companies; 3) enforce these Terms
and Conditions; 4) protect the personal safety of users of SIFCO, the
Site, or the public; and, 5) as otherwise indicated in these Terms and
Conditions.
The Site may use "cookies" to help you personalize your online
experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by
a web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses
to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be
read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature
to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the web server that
you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize
SIFCO pages, or register with the Site, a cookie helps SIFCO to recall
your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process
of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping
addresses, and so on. When you return to the Site, the information you
previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the SIFCO
features that you customized.
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers
automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser
setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies,
you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the
SIFCO services or web sites you visit.
SIFCO web pages may contain electronic images known as web beacons -
sometimes called single-pixel gifs - that allow SIFCO to count users who
have visited those pages and to deliver co-branded services. Web beacons
are not used to access your personally identifiable information on the
Site; they are a technique we may use to compile aggregated statistics
about Site usage. Web beacons collect only a limited set of information
including a cookie number, time and date of a page view, and a description
of the page on which the web beacon resides. SIFCO web pages may also
contain web beacons placed there by our advertising partners to help SIFCO
determine the effectiveness of our Internet advertising campaigns.
The majority of the online banner advertisements you see on the Site
are displayed by SIFCO. In addition, SIFCO may also allow other companies,
called third-party ad servers or ad networks, to display advertisements
on the Site. To do this, ad networks place a persistent cookie on your
computer. Doing this allows the ad network to recognize your computer
each time they send you an online advertisement. In this way, ad networks
may compile information about where you, or others who are using your
computer, saw their advertisements and determine which ads are clicked
on. This information allows an ad network to deliver advertisements that
they believe will be of most interest to you. SIFCO does not have access
to or control of the cookies that may be placed by the third-party ad
servers or ad networks.
If you want to prevent one of these third-party companies from sending
and reading cookies on your computer, you will need to visit each ad network's
web site individually and request that you be removed from its system.
SIFCO encourages you to review the privacy statements of web sites you
choose to link to from SIFCO so that you can understand how those web
sites collect, use and share your information. SIFCO is not responsible
for the privacy statements or other content on web sites outside of the
SIFCO and SIFCO family of web sites.
