We also use your personal information for our internal marketing and demographic studies, so we can constantly improve the Services we provide you and to better meet your needs.

B. WILL ASE SHARE MY DATA WITH THIRD PARTIES?

ASE does not share your personal information with third parties without your prior consent or as described below:

We may, however, share non-personal data in the aggregate (in a form that does not personally identify you/anonymous information) with advertisers, publishers, sponsors and other third parties.

You may also opt in to allow ASE to share your personal data with companies and organizations that provide products or services that we believe may be of interest to you. In addition, within some of the ASE games, third parties may be given your personal data only for narrative based interactions, such as automated phone calls or sending out email.

ASE may employ third party contractors to collect personal information on our behalf to provide email delivery, product, or promotional fulfillment, contest administration, credit card processing, shipping or other services on our sites. When requesting these services, you may be asked to supply your name, mailing address, telephone number and email address to our contractors. We ask some third party contractors, such as credit agencies or market research firms, to supplement personal information that you provide to us for our own marketing and demographic studies, so that we can consistently improve our sites and to better meet our visitors’ needs and preferences.

When our third party contractors collect and/or have access to the personal information you provide to ASE, we require that they adhere to our stated privacy policies and protect the confidentiality of personal information they collect or have access to in the course of their engagement by ASE. These third parties are prohibited from using your personal information for any other purpose without your specific consent.

We may also disclose personal information to law enforcement, or the appropriate civil authorities to enforce legal rights and comply with the law, or to comply with an order from a government entity or other competent authority, or when we have reason to believe that a disclosure is necessary to address potential or actual injury or interference with our rights, property, operations, users or others who may be harmed or may suffer loss or damage, or when we believe that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, combat fraud and/or comply with a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process served on ASE.

Please note that we may also transfer information that we collect about you to other third parties across borders and from your country or jurisdiction to other countries or jurisdictions around the world. Please note that these countries and jurisdictions may not have the same data protection laws as your own jurisdiction, and we take steps to ensure adequate safeguards are in place to enable transfer of information to the U.S. and the use and disclosure of information about you, including personal information, as described in this Privacy Policy.

V. WHERE IS THE DATA HELD?

VI. HOW DOES ASE PROTECT YOUR PERSONAL DATA?

We take your privacy and the security of your personal information very seriously.

However, please note that no existing data transmission method on the web, or electronic storage, can guarantee the absolute security of your personal data.

DESPITE OUR REASONABLE EFFORTS TO KEEP YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION SECURE, NO COMPANY CAN GUARANTEE THE SECURITY AND PRIVACY OF ITS SERVICES, INFORMATION AND OTHER DATA. ASE MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS THAT YOUR INFORMATION WILL BE PROTECTED AGAINST LOSS, MISUSE OR ALTERATION BY THIRD PARTIES.

Our website may contain advertising or services which link to other websites such as Twitter, Facebook and YouTube. The fact that we link to a website is not an endorsement, authorization or representation of our affiliation with that third party. If you click on a link to a third party site, including on an advertisement, you will leave the ASE site you are visiting and go to the site you selected. Because we cannot control the activities of third parties, we cannot accept responsibility for any use of your personal information by such third parties, and we cannot guarantee that they will adhere to the same privacy and security practices as ASE. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any other service provider from whom you request services. If you visit a third party website that is linked to an ASE site, you should consult that site’s privacy policy before providing any personal information.

FOR HOW LONG DOES ASE RETAIN MY PERSONAL DATA?
