Privacy Policy


Affordable Internet Services Online, Inc.("AISO") is strongly committed to protecting the privacy of its customers. The intent of this privacy policy is to detail the information AISO may gather about customers who visit its Web sites, how that information is used, and AISO's disclosure practices. Please note that this policy applies only to AISO's Web sites and not to the Web sites of other companies or organizations to which we provide links via our web site. In the course of serving its customers, AISO acquires, stores and transmits customer communications and information that customers may regard as private or sensitive. Some of this information - such as the customer's name, address, telephone number, and credit card data - is provided to AISO by its customers in order to establish service. Other information - such as the customer's account status, choice of services, and customer logs - is created and maintained by AISO in the normal course of providing service. None of this information will be disclosed to any party, only within AISO company itself. AISO also uses cookies on the landing pages of products sold online which record the referring URL required for the order form processor itself.

Such data is used in the aggregate, to help determine general usage patterns, how the site was accessed and fine tune layout in order to ensure that our sites are as useful and enjoyable as possible. The data is also used to provide technical support. This "visit" and statistical information will not be made public information.

 

Please note that AISO does not control all HTML served in conjunction with its sites. AISO sites may include content from other parties that may perform user activity tracking other than that described herein. For example, some of our customer web sites may use "cookies" in ways that we do not.

AISO and/or its partners may wish to contact individual users regarding community news or to make promotional offers. However, such communications will only be delivered to users who have previously approved them.

 

AISO will not disclose any of its customers' personal and account information unless AISO has reason to believe that disclosing such information is necessary to identify, make contact with, or bring legal action against someone who may be causing harm or interfering with the rights or property of AISO or AISO's customers.

Disclosure
AISO reserves the right to access and disclose individually identifiable information to comply with applicable laws and lawful government requests or to protect itself or its users. Where practical, AISO will attempt to obtain the prior consent of the individual prior to disclosing individually identifiable information. We also may use information collected from web site visitors, visitors to our network systems, our customers or logs to protect AISO and its users. Depending on the severity of the violation, AISO may, at its sole discretion, pursue other civil remedies for visitors and/or customers to its sites, services, servers and network. If such violation is a criminal offense, AISO will notify the appropriate law enforcement authorities of such violation. An unlisted activity may also be a violation of the TOS if it is illegal, irresponsible, or constitutes disruptive use of the Internet. Violators are responsible, without limitations, for the cost of labor to rectify any damage done to the operation of the network and business operations supported by the network, and to respond to complaints incurred by AISO. Violations of system or network security are prohibited and may result in criminal and civil liability and visit information or information contained in logs may be used. AISO reserves the right to revise this privacy policy at anytime without notice.
