Aberdeen Proving Ground MWR Privacy Policy

We at Aberdeen Proving Ground have created this privacy policy to demonstrate our firm commitment to protecting your personal information and informing you about how we handle it. This privacy policy only applies to transactions made, and data gathered, on the apgmwr.com web site (the "Site") and does not apply to any other web site or offline point of contact between APG MWR and consumers. Please review this privacy policy periodically as we may update it from time to time. This privacy policy was last revised on August, 2005. Each time you visit the Site or provide us with information, by doing so you are accepting the practices described in this privacy policy at that time.

Your IP Address

Like most e-commerce websites, each time you visit the Site, we automatically collect your IP address and the web page from which you came. In order to administer and optimize the Site for you and to diagnose problems with our Site, we use your IP address to help identify you and to gather broad demographic information about you.

Information We Collect From You

In order to operate the Site, conduct contests, provide the best services possible and provide you with information on products and services that may be of interest to you, we may ask to collect personal information (i.e. information that could be used to contact you such as full name, postal address, phone number and email address), and demographic information (zip code, hometown, gender and age) from you.

Security

The secure area of our site uses the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) to protect your billing information. Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encrypts information and keeps the data private and confidential between your machine and APG MWR. This technology makes it safe to transmit your credit card number over the Internet. Look for two security icons, the "s" after "http" in the address line and the lock in the top menu bar and bottom status bar of your browser in Netscape or in the bottom status bar only in Internet Explorer.

Information Other Web Sites Collect From You

On the Site, we place links to other web sites operated by other parties. When you click on these links and visit these other web sites, you need to be aware that we do not control these other web sites or these other web sites' business practices, and that this privacy policy does not apply to these other web sites. Consequently, the operators of these other web sites may collect different kinds of information about you, and may use and disclose that information in different ways than we would if it were collected on the Site. We encourage you to review their privacy policies and remind you that we will not be responsible for their actions.

How We Use Personal Information

We use your personal information to help us efficiently perform transactions on the Site, to deliver the services & information you have requested (including reply confirmations or feedback), or to contact you when a response is necessary. We DO NOT give any personal information to third parties. The Site provides you with the option of declining to receive offers from APG MWR by "opting-out" of receiving this type of communication. In connection with events for which you have participated in on the Site (including reply confirmations, feedback, sweepstakes and promotional offers), to send you information, offers and other promotional materials from APG MWR we may contact you via one of the ways provided from you from these events. We send only the information you have selected that are of value to you, such as discounts, exclusive offers or special event information.

You may be required to provide certain information to us so that you are able to participate in an online event (such as sweepstakes and promotional contests), consenting (i.e., you opt-in) to receive communications (such as emails), from APG MWR.

We may also disclose specific information when we determine that such disclosure is necessary to comply with law, to cooperate with law enforcement or to protect the interests or safety of APG MWR or other visitors to the Site or users of services or products provided by APG MWR.
