- What kind of information, including personally identifiable information, is collected from you;
- Who collects the information;
- How the information is used;
- With whom the information may be shared;
- Choices that are available to you regarding the collection, use and distribution of information;
- The security procedures in place to protect the information; and
- How you can correct inaccuracies in the information.
Information We Collect
Non-Personally Identifiable Information. Non-personally identifiable information is information that, by itself, cannot be tracked to a specific individual. AGIS may collect non-personally identifiable information while you are visiting the Service. While providing services and features, AGIS may collect web surfing data such as your IP address, web pages on the Service that you have visited, time and date, and whether or not you clicked on advertisements. We use different types of technologies to collect this information, including cookies and single-pixel GIFs.
If your browser is configured to accept the cookies, these cookies will be used to recognize your computer when you revisit the Service to provide you with a superior web surfing experience; for example, by allowing us to learn how you use the Service we can show you advertisements or other information we think you would want to see. However, if you wish, you can configure your browser to block cookies.
Advertisements of third-party advertisers may be displayed on the Service. If you choose to click on an advertisement or link, AGIS may provide non-personally identifiable information to the advertiser and/or web publisher. Also, the advertiser or web publisher may use cookies or other technologies to collect information when you are visiting their websites. The information advertisers or other third parties collect is governed by their individual privacy policies, not by AGIS' Privacy Policy.

If you upload, post, and/or distribute to the Service website any material, including but not limited to, information, questions, feedback, data, comments, suggestions, information, text, data, software, sounds, photographs, podcasts, webinars, articles, links, logos, audio, video, images, graphics, messages and other content or materials of any nature ("Materials"), the Materials, along with your username or other personally identifiable information, we may maintain such Materials on the Service, where it may be viewable by other users.
Use of the Information We Collect
Use of Non-Personally Identifiable Information. AGIS may use non-personally identifiable information collected to improve the quality of AGIS' Service, for example, by diagnosing service or technology problems, by assessing and maintaining security, by increasing ad placements on web pages that are receiving more web traffic and presenting you with ads that we think you would be interested in seeing, or by allowing you to log in or access your saved information automatically. We may also use the information to count and recognize returning users.
AGIS may perform analysis on the non-personally identifiable information to determine user demographics, interests, and behavior and may market the Service by sharing aggregated non-personally identifiable information with potential advertisers or partners. For example, we may provide demographic or usage information to an advertiser so they may see how many registered users are from a specific geographic area or clicked on a certain ad in the previous month. AGIS also may provide your non-personally identifiable information to contractors so that they can perform services for us.
Use of Personally Identifiable Information. AGIS does not intentionally provide personally identifiable information to third parties except under the following conditions: If you provide personally identifiable information as part of an inquiry about products or services provided by one of the advertisers or partners, we will provide that information to that advertiser or partner so that they may attempt to provide you with information regarding the products or services about which you inquired, only if you indicate that this is acceptable by either selecting the advertisement or otherwise.
AGIS may use the personally identifiable information provided by users for internal purposes, such as sales, human resources, marketing, and administration. We may share this information with third parties who provide AGIS with administrative services. If AGIS shares any of the information collected from you with a third party, their use of that information will be governed by the third party's privacy policy.
If you provide personally identifiable information and/or other Materials to the Service, including without limitation, to blogs, forums, message boards, communities, or "care pages," others may have may have access to this information. If you save searches, articles, links or other information to "My Page," such information should not be accessible to others unless they obtain your permission or password. "Care pages" are web pages administered by primary caregiver users that are accessible by family member users and others invited by the primary caregiver.
If you provide Materials to the Service, as a part of the Service, we may match your Materials, to others who face similar issues or provide relevant goods or services by submitting the Materials you provide to a community webpage to facilitate discussions and the exchange of information.
If you do not want other users to know your email address or other personally identifiable information, do not provide it with any Materials to any portion of the Service. Also, to limit the amount of personal information disclosed you may consider providing a user name other than your actual name.

If you do not want to receive such notices (except for breach of security), you may send an email message to [email protected] with the word "Opt Out" in the subject field. Opting out may prevent you from receiving email messages regarding updates, improvements, or special offers. If AGIS has provided any third party with your personal information, you will have to contact the third-party directly with any opt-out request.
