Our Privacy Policy

ALD.Net respects your privacy. Here's our privacy policy for this site:

Personally Identifiable Information

We do track how our visitors use this site so that we can see what people like and don't like. We also analyze and aggregate information about use patterns and share the aggregated data with our advertisers (for example, we keep track of how many users see and click on particular advertisements). We may also collect personal information about you via registration for contests, surveys and newsletters. We will not, however, release your name, e-mail address or any other personal information to anyone else outside ALD.Net unless we have your consent, we are under a legal order to do so, or there is an emergency involving personal danger. This means that we will not provide our advertisers or anyone else outside ALD.Net with any information specific to you unless we have your consent. The only ALD.Net employees or consultants allowed access to personal information about you are those who need to have access. Any employee or consultant who violates our privacy and security policies is subject to disciplinary action, including possible termination or prosecution.

Cookies

"Cookies" are small text files that allow Web sites to store and retrieve information about you from your computer system. ALD.Net does serve cookies to track individual site usage for later aggregation. But we do not use cookies in order to retrieve any information from your computer other than information originally sent in a ALD.Net cookie, such as a user code. We have no control over whether and how our advertisers use cookies that originate from their website.
