Because customers entrust Astyra with important information/data, we have established this Statement as a means to communicate our information gathering and dissemination practices. We reserve the right to change this Statement and will provide notification of the change at least thirty (30) business days prior to the change taking effect.

Collected Information
We require customers who register to use the services (“Services”) to give us contact information, such as their name, company name, address, phone number, and e-mail address, and financial qualification and billing information, such as billing name and address, and the number of users within the organization that will be using the Services. Astyra uses the information that we collect to set up Services for individuals and their organizations. We may also use the information to contact customers to further discuss customer interest in our company, the Services that we provide, and to send information regarding our company or partners, such as promotions and events.

Customer email addresses and any personal customer information will not be distributed or shared with any third parties. We may also email information regarding updates to the Service. Except as we explicitly state at the time we request information, or as provided for in the Astyra Terms of Use, we do not disclose to any third-party the information provided. All financial and billing information that we collect through the Site is used solely to check the qualifications of prospective customers and to bill for Services. Billing information is not used by Astyra for marketing or promotional purposes. Astyra uses a third-party intermediary to manage the credit card processing. This intermediary is solely a link in the distribution chain, and is not permitted to store, retain, or use the information provided, except for the sole purpose of credit card processing. Other third parties, such as content providers, may provide content on the Web Site but they are not permitted to collect any information nor does Astyra share any user information with these parties. Customers will be using the service to host data and information (“Data”). Astyra will not review, share, distribute, print, or reference any such Data except as provided in the Astyra Terms of Use, or as may be required by law. Individual records may at times be viewed or accessed only for the purpose of resolving a problem, support issue, or suspected violation of the Terms of Use, or as may be required by law.

Of course, customers are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and security of their user registration and password. Astyra may also collect certain information from customers of the Site, such as Internet addresses. This information is logged to help diagnose technical problems, and to administer our Site in order to constantly improve the quality of the Service. Astyra may also ask visitors, who register for the Astyra Community, to provide certain information, such as email addresses to use and receive content from the site. Astyra will provide these visitors with the ability to opt-in or opt-out of future communications from the company. Astyra will not disclose the collected information to third parties without the permission of the visitor. We may also track and analyze non-identifying and aggregate usage and volume statistical information from our visitors and customers and provide such information to third parties.

Cookies
When you interact with Astyra we strive to make that experience easy and meaningful. When you log on to Astyra, our Web server sends a cookie to your computer. Cookies are files that Web browsers place on a computer’s hard drive and are used to tell us whether customers have used the Service previously. Standing alone, cookies do not identify you personally. They merely recognize your browser.
There are two types of Cookies: session and persistent-based. Session cookies exist only during an online session. They disappear from your computer when you close your browser software or turn off your computer. Persistent cookies remain on your computer after you’ve closed your browser or turned off your computer. They include such information as a unique identifier for your browser.
Astyra uses session cookies containing encrypted information to allow the system to uniquely identify you while you are logged in. This information allows Astyra to process your transactions and requests. Session cookies help us make sure you are who you say you are after you’ve logged in and are required in order to use the Astyra application. Astyra uses persistent cookies, that only Astyra can read and use, to identify the fact that you are a Astyra customer or a visitor, who has registered for the Astyra Community or to receive certain types of content. We are especially careful about the security and confidentiality of the information stored in persistent cookies. For example, we do not store account numbers or passwords in persistent cookies. Users or visitors who disable their Web browsers’ ability to accept cookies will be unable to use all aspects of our service or the Community

Finally, Astyra provides unique user names and passwords that must be entered each time a customer logs on.
