BY USING THE SITE, YOU AGREE TO THE PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU DISAGREE WITH THE PRIVACY POLICY, DO NOT USE THIS SITE.

TOA reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to change, modify, add or remove portions of this privacy policy, at any time. When such changes are made, users of the site may be notified by email (where available) or a statement of update will be displayed for a reasonable amount of time on the home page of the Site after the change notifying all who visit the Site. You are responsible for periodically reviewing this privacy policy for changes. If, after notification, you continue to use the Site, you accept any changes at the time they are implemented.

Collection of Personal Data

Two types of data may collected from you:

  • any other information you may provide.

Non-identifying information is anonymous information. This information is technical and is often gathered from analytics software for the Site.

  • logs, contact information, and other information about the communications between registered users.

  • Subsidiaries and assigns of TOA and affiliate members. Affiliates will use this information to send you marketing communications only if you’ve requested their services.
  • Law enforcement offices, third-party rights owners or others in the good faith belief that such disclosure is reasonably necessary to enforce the Terms of Use or Privacy Policy; respond to claims that a posting or other content violates the rights of a third party; or protect the rights, property or personal safety of other users or the general public.
  • Parties to whom you grant permission for TOA to share.
  • Service providers under contract who help with the business operations of the Site; or

The Site may communicate and facilitate communications between users, with TOA or its affiliates or subsidiaries through telephone, email, or other methods of communication. The Site may collect information related to such communication. You agree to such contact as may be described at the time of communication.

Email Preferences

You may opt out of all nonessential (i.e., promotional or marketing-related) communications from TOA. To remove your contact information from TOA’s lists and newsletters, notify TOA in the manner described in such communications. Sometimes, opting out of these communications may lead to you not receiving information you do desire. If you opt out of marketing-related contact and find you are not receiving information you are expecting, please contact TOA to ensure you are receiving the information you desire.

Cookies

TOA or its service providers may place cookies or web beacons on your computer when you visit portions of the Site. Permanent cookies help facilitate personalized features. Session cookies, which are deleted when you log out of the Site or browse to a different website, are used to monitor and improve the functionality and usability of the Site. Cookies can be blocked by changing the settings on your browser (contact your Internet Service Provider for help), but doing so may prevent delivery of certain services.

Third Parties

This privacy policy only applies to information collected by TOA from you. If you disclose your information to others, whether registered users of this Site, affiliate members, or through other sites throughout the Internet, this privacy policy does not apply. TOA does not control the privacy policies of third parties, even if the Site links directly to another website that collects your personal data.

Security

TOA will take reasonable precautions to protect your personal data. TOA, however, makes no warranty or promise that your personal data or private communications will not be intercepted due to unauthorized access or disclosure.
