Ascad Networks is an independent company working to offer the highest quality services at the absolute lowest prices. Because we want to demonstrate our commitment to our users’ privacy, we have agreed to disclose our information practices and have our privacy practices.

Information Collection and Use
Upon signing up for all of our services, users will be asked to provide information so that we can contact you, locate you, or identify you. We collect information in the following ways:

• When you register for one of our services, we will collect your name, email, an Ascad Networks username/password, and other basic contact information. Furthermore, when you register for an Ascad Networks service, you will be prompted for payment through 2CheckOut or PayPal. Required information will include your name, credit card number and expiration date, and billing address. Note that all credit card information is not handled by Ascad Networks: purchase issues must be directed to either 2CheckOut or PayPal, depending on which was used for payment. Once registered, Ascad Networks may contact you about special offers, contests or promotions, or reported problems.
• Furthermore, Ascad Networks logs all hit activity around our web site, which include information about your system, browser, IP address, referrer address, and other common logging information.
• Every time that you log into your Ascad Networks account, not only will you be prompted for a username and password, but information will be stored on our system such as the date you accessed it, how many times you accessed it, the time at which you accessed it, and other tracking and statistical information.

Cookies
Users visiting Ascad Networks will have cookies set in order to retain certain information. No sensitive information will ever be stored in a cookie. Some of our business partners may use cookies on our site (for example, advertisers). However, we have no access to or control over these cookies, once we have given permission for them to set cookies for advertising.

Advertising
The ads appearing on this Web site are delivered to users by Ascad Networks. Information about users’ visit to this site, such as number of times they have viewed an ad (but not user name, address, or other personal information), is used to serve ads to users on this site. This privacy statement covers the use of cookies by Ascad Networks only and does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers.

Log Files
Like most standard web site servers we use log files. This includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time stamp, and number of clicks to analyze trends, administer the site, track user’s movement in the aggregate, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses, etc. are not linked to personally identifiable information. IP addresses are tied to personally identifiable information to enable our Web-based service. Ascad Networks currently uses a tracking utility called AXS that uses log files to analyze user movement.

Communications from the Site

• Special Offers and Updates: We send all new members a welcoming email to verify password and username. Established members will occasionally receive information on products, services, special deals, and a newsletter. Out of respect for the privacy of our users we present the option to not receive these types of communications. Please see the Choice and Opt-out sections.
• Newsletter: Users downloading one of our free CGI scripts will be prompted to join our newsletter. At their discretion, they may choose not to join. All users registering for a pay service are automatically added to the newsletter. If a customer wishes to be removed, he/she must contact a Ascad Networks representative a request removal.
• Service Announcements: On rare occasions it is necessary to send out a strictly service related announcement. For instance, if our service is temporarily suspended for maintenance we might send users an email. Generally, users may not opt-out of these communications, though they can deactivate their account. However, these communications are not promotional in nature.
• Customer Service: We communicate with users on a regular basis to provide requested services and in regards to issues relating to their account we reply via email or phone, in accordance with the users wishes.

Sharing: Legal Disclaimer
Ascad Networks takes every possible precaution in order to not share personal information

• Aggregate Information (non-personally identifiable): We may share aggregated demographic information with our partners and advertisers. On rare occasion, if requested by an advertiser, partner, or affiliate, we will display information about total members, total hits, total unique IPs, and other information along these lines. This is not linked to any personally identifiable information.
• Third Party Advertisers: Ascad Networks runs its own advertising engine, and thus does not share personal information with any outside sources. We do not Share Personal Information with Third Parties.
• Third Party Intermediaries: We use an outside shipping company to ship orders, and a credit card processing company to bill users for goods and services. These companies do not retain, share, store or use personally identifiable information for any secondary purposes.
• Service Providers: We partner with other third parties, for example nu3.net web central, to provide specific services. When the user signs up for these particular services, he or she will be asked if interested in web hosting by nu3.net. If the user is, some personal information will be shared with nu3.net web central. These third parties are not allowed to use personally identifiable information except for the purpose of providing these services.

Business Transitions
In the event Ascad Networks goes through a business transition, such as a merger, being acquired by another company, or selling a portion of its assets, users’ personal information will, in most instances, be part of the assets transferred.

Links
This Web site contains links to other sites. Please be aware that we, Ascad Networks, are not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each and every web site that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by this web site.

Surveys & Contests
From time-to-time our site requests information from users via surveys or contests. Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary and the user therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose this information. The requested information typically includes contact information (such as name and shipping address), and demographic information (such as zip code). Contact information will be used to notify the winners and award prizes. Anonymous survey information will be used for purposes of monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction of this site. Users’ personally identifiable information is not shared with third parties unless we give prior notice and choice. Though we may use an intermediary to conduct these surveys or contests, they may not use users’ personally identifiable information for any secondary purposes.

Tell-A-Friend
If a user elects to use our referral service to inform a friend about Ascad Networks, the friend’s name and email address will be requested. Ascad Networks will then automatically send the friend a one-time email inviting him/her to visit the site. Ascad Networks does not store this information.

Customer Support Tickets
Ascad Networks reserves the right to use any statements made by users in its support ticket system or in emails received by users for the purpose of testimonials. Users not wishing to have their comments used as testimonials must contact us directly and request that their testimonial be removed or that their statements not be used.

Chat Rooms, Message Boards, and Public Forums
Please keep in mind that whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information online - for example on message boards, through e-mail, or in chat areas - that information can be collected and used by others. In short, by posting personal information online that is publicly accessible, you may receive unsolicited messages from other parties in return.

Ascad Networks uses some of the finest tools in the business to protect your personal information. If users have any questions about the security at our website, please contact us.
