As of 1 December 2020, Ahead of the Curves updated its Privacy Policy to give you a better understanding of our Privacy Policy and Practice. If you have any questions, please contact [email protected].

Introduction

We at Ahead of the Curves are committed to respecting your online privacy and recognize your need for appropriate protection and management of any personally identifiable information (“Personal Information”) you share with us. Ahead of the Curves has established this Online Privacy Policy so that you can understand the care with which we intend to treat your Personal Information. Personal Information means any information that may be used to identify an individual, including, but not limited to, a first and last name, a home or other physical address and an email address or other contact information, whether at work or at home. In general, you can visit Ahead of the Curves’s Web pages without telling us who you are or revealing any Personal Information about yourself. If you choose to provide us with your Personal Information on the Web, we may transfer that Information within Ahead of the Curves or to Ahead of the Curves’s clients around the world. Ahead of the Curves strives to comply with all applicable laws around the globe that are designed to protect your privacy. Our goal is to provide protection for your Personal Information no matter where that Personal Information is collected, transferred, or retained.

Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies

Some of our Web pages utilize “cookies” and other tracking technologies. A “cookie” is a small text file that may be used, for example, to collect information about Web site activity. Some cookies and other technologies may serve to recall Personal Information previously indicated by a Web user. Most browsers allow you to control cookies, including whether or not to accept them and how to remove them. You may set most browsers to notify you if you receive a cookie, or you may choose to block cookies with your browser, but please note that if you choose to erase or block your cookies, you will need to re-enter your original user ID and password to gain access to certain parts of the Web site. Tracking technologies may record information such as Internet domain and host names; Internet protocol (IP) addresses; browser software and operating system types; click stream patterns; and dates and times that our site is accessed. Our use of cookies and other tracking technologies allows us to improve our Web site and your Web experience. We may also analyze information that does not contain Personal Information for trends and statistics.

Notice

Where Ahead of the Curves collects Personal Information on the web, we intend to post a purpose statement that explains why Personal Information will be collected and whether we plan to share such Personal Information outside of Ahead of the Curves or those working on Ahead of the Curves’s behalf. Ahead of the Curves does not intend to transfer Personal Information without your consent to third parties who are not bound to act on Ahead of the Curves’s behalf unless such transfer is legally required.

Choice

You may choose whether or not to provide Personal Information to Ahead of the Curves. The notice we intend to provide where Ahead of the Curves collects Personal Information on the Web should help you to make this choice. If you choose not to provide the Personal Information we request, you can still visit most of Ahead of the Curves’s Web sites, but you may be unable to access certain options, offers, and services that involve our interaction with you. If you chose to have a relationship with Ahead of the Curves, such as a contractual or other business relationship or partnership, we will naturally continue to contact you in connection with that business relationship.

Security

Wherever your Personal Information may be held within Ahead of the Curves or on its behalf, we intend to take reasonable and appropriate steps to protect the Personal Information that you share with us from unauthorized access or disclosure.

Access/Accuracy

To the extent that you do provide us with Personal Information, Ahead of the Curves wishes to maintain accurate Personal Information. Where we collect Personal Information from you on the Web, our goal is to provide a means of contacting Ahead of the Curves should you need to update or correct that Information. If for any reason those means are unavailable or inaccessible, you may send updates and corrections about your Personal Information to  [email protected] and we will make reasonable efforts to incorporate the changes in your Personal Information that we hold as soon as practicable.

Third Party Services

Third parties provide certain services available on Ahead of the Curves.com on Ahead of the Curves’s behalf. Ahead of the Curves may provide information, including Personal Information, that Ahead of the Curves collects on the Web to third-party service providers to help us deliver programs, products, information, and services. Service providers are also an important means by which Ahead of the Curves maintains its Web site and mailing lists. Ahead of the Curves will take reasonable steps to ensure that these third-party service providers are obligated to protect Personal Information on Ahead of the Curves’s behalf. Ahead of the Curves does not intend to transfer Personal Information without your consent to third parties who are not bound to act on Ahead of the Curves’s behalf unless such transfer is legally required. Similarly, it is against Ahead of the Curves’s policy to sell Personal Information collected online without consent.

Children’s Privacy

Ahead of the Curves.com is not structured to attract children. Accordingly, we do not intend to collect Personal Information from anyone we know to be under 13 years of age.
