 PRIVACY POLICY

1. Introduction

AME Equipment Inc. (“AME”) is committed protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains AME’s collection and use of personally identifiable information collected from visitors and users of the AME’s Website (the “Website”). This Privacy Policy only applies to AME’s Website, and does not apply to third-party websites that may be linked to or accessed through the Website.
AME reserves the right to amend this Policy from time to time. The last update of this Policy (the "Effective Date") is listed at the bottom of this Privacy Policy.  In the event that any amendment affects the purpose(s) for which we collect, use or disclose your Personal Information, we will obtain any additional consent required from you under applicable privacy laws.

2. Definitions

“Personal information" means identifiable information about an individual and/or individual's company. This includes details such as name, job title, email address, and other types of information which enable us to provide services and information to an individual.

3. Coverage

AME’s Privacy Policy covers AME’s management of personally identifiable information that AME collects when you are on AME web sites, and when you use AME’s services. This Privacy Policy also covers AME’s management of any personally identifiable information that AME’s business partners share with AME.
This Privacy Policy does not apply to the practices of companies that AME does not own or control, or to people that AME does not employ or manage, including without limitation, any AME’s affiliates or business partners.

4.   Collection and Use of Information

Information concerning your computer hardware and software may be automatically collected. This information may include your IP address, browser type, domain names, access times and referring website addresses. AME uses this information to maintain the quality of its service and to provide general statistics about website visitors.

5.    Sharing and Disclosure of Information

AME only shares personal information with other companies or individuals outside of AME in the following limited circumstances:

• We have your consent to share this information.
• We provide such information to our trusted businesses or persons for the purpose of helping us in providing the services offered on the Website. We require that these parties agree to use personal information based on our instructions and in compliance with this Privacy Policy and any other appropriate confidentiality and security measures.  In such cases, these companies do not have any right to use the information we provide to them beyond what is necessary to assist us.
• We may access or disclose information about you, including the content of your communications, in order to: (a) comply with the law or respond to lawful requests or legal process; (b) protect the rights or property of AME or our users, including the enforcement of our agreements or policies governing your use of the Website; or (c) act on a good faith belief that such access or disclosure is necessary to protect the personal safety of AME employees, customers or the public.

• We may hire other companies to provide limited services on our behalf, such as sending newsletters, providing customer service, and performing statistical analysis of our services. We will only provide those companies with the information that they need to provide us with such services, and we prohibit them from using that information for any other purpose.

AME, its affiliates, and other third parties to whom we disclose information under this Privacy Policy may store and process data outside of Canada. As a result, your information may be securely used, stored or accessed in other countries and may be subject to the laws of those countries. For example, information may be disclosed in response to valid demands or requests from government authorities, courts, or law enforcement in these countries.
If AME becomes involved in a merger, acquisition, or any form of sale of some or all of its assets, we will provide notice before personal information is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

6.    Publicly Visible Information

AME encourages you to review the privacy statements of web sites you choose to visit via hyper-links posted on this Website so that you can understand how those web sites collect, use and share your information, since this Privacy Policy does not apply to third-party websites accessed through the Website.

7.     Security and Integrity of Your Information

AME uses a variety of security technologies and procedures to help protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. For example, we store the personal information you provide on computer systems with limited access, which are located in controlled facilities.
