Privacy Notice

AA Petroleum Testing Services and Compliance. strives to offer its visitors the many advantages of Internet technology and to provide an interactive and personalized experience. We may use Personally Identifiable Information (your name, e-mail address, street address, telephone number) subject to the terms of this privacy policy. Please note this policy applies only to information collected by AA Petroleum Testing Services and Compliance. online and does not impact information collected or used by AA Petroleum Testing Services and Compliance. or its affiliates through other means.

How We Gather Information from Users

How we collect and store information depends on the page you are visiting, the activities in which you elect to participate and the services provided. You can visit many pages on our site without providing any information. Other pages may prompt you to provide information, such as when you register for access to portions of our site, sign up for membership, request certain features (e.g., newsletters, news updates and other products), sign up for a newspaper subscription or register to purchase products.

You may also provide information when you participate in other interactive areas of our site. Like most websites, AA Petroleum Testing Services and Compliance. also collects information automatically and through the use of electronic tools that may be transparent to our visitors. For example, we may log the name of your Internet Service Provider or use “cookie” technology. Among other things, the cookie may store your user name and password, sparing you from having to re-enter that information each time you visit, or may control the number of times you encounter a particular advertisement while visiting our site.

As we adopt additional technology, we may also gather information through other means. In certain cases, you can choose not to provide us with information, for example by setting your browser to refuse to accept cookies, but doing so may limit your ability to access certain portions of the site or may require you to re-enter your user name and password. Additionally we may not be able to customise the AA Petroleum Testing Services and Compliance. site’s features according to your preferences.

What we do with the Information We Collect

We will use your information only as permitted by law. Aggregated Information (information that does not personally identify you) may be used in many ways. As one example, we may combine information about your usage patterns with similar information obtained from other users to learn which pages are visited most or what features are most attractive. Aggregated Information may occasionally be shared with our advertisers and business partners, but cannot be used to contact you individually.

We also collect information to enhance your visit and deliver more individualised content and advertising. For example, we may use Personally Identifiable Information collected on the AA Petroleum Testing Services and Compliance. to website communicate with you regarding our Terms of Service and privacy policy, products and services offered by AA Petroleum Testing Services and Compliance. and other affiliates and partners, administration of contests, processing e-commerce transactions and other topics we think you might find of interest. We reserve the right to share this information with other business units and affiliates. Personally Identifiable Information collected by AA Petroleum Testing Services and Compliance. may also be used for other purposes including but not limited to site administration and troubleshooting. Certain third parties who provide technical support for the operation of our site (our Web hosting service and our website designer, for example) may access such information.

As we continue to develop our business, we may sell, buy, merge or partner with other companies or businesses. In such transactions, user information may be among the transferred assets. We may also disclose your information in response to a court order, at other times when we believe we are reasonably required to do so by law, in connection with the collection of amounts you may owe to us, and/or whenever we deem it appropriate or necessary to give such information to law enforcement authorities. Please note, we may not provide you with notice, prior to disclosure in such cases.

Your Choice to Opt Out

The information on the AA Petroleum Testing Services and Compliance. website is supported by our suppliers and by advertising revenue. A controlled program of e-mail marketing is an important element of our online business. Like other Web publishers, we sometimes permit our advertising and promotional partners to e-mail you about services, features, products, special offers and unique content we believe might interest you.
