web site visitors from whom we receive personal data. This “Privacy Policy” is part of our
commitment to protecting your personal information.
Any personal data collected about visitors via this web site or when you contact ASI’s customer or
technical support will be processed in the United States by ASI or a party acting on its behalf.
ALERT Systems Inc. is the responsible party for the processing of your personal data, although the
goal of our policy is to give you control over your personal data.
When you provide personal data to ASI, you consent to the processing of your data in the United
States as this web site is operated in the United States.
What personal information does ASI collect and for what purposes?
- ASI does not automatically gather any information about identifiable individuals (“Personal
Information”). ASI only collects Personal Information when you subscribe to our E-News
service or other similar publication service, when you submit Personal Information in a
chatroom on our website, when you apply for a position with ASI, or when you contact us via e-
mail about a product or service.
Individuals applying for positions with ASI in response to our online job postings will be
asked to submit the following information: name; address; phone number(s); e-mail
address; education level; occupational history; skill profile; and other Personal Information
that may be requested by ASI. This Personal Information will not be used for any purpose
other than to determine your suitability for the position you are applying for. If you, as an
applicant, are not selected for the position applied for, you consent to the retention of the
personal data you applicant provided when applying for employment with ASI for reasonable
periods of time in order that you may be considered for future employment opportunities.
We use the standard "cookie" feature of major browser applications that allows us to collect
data about your visit to our website. Cookies are small data files that are sent to your browser
and stored on your computer’s hard-drive when you visit certain websites, thereby “tracking”
your use of the site. Some browsers can be set to reject all cookies; if you choose to set your
browser to reject cookies, some pages of the website may not function properly. At present,
we do not use cookies to collect Personal Information and we do not link the information that
we collect using cookies to any Personal Information. We use the information gathered
through the use of cookies to help us identify the areas of our website that are useful and
which areas need improvement.
Please note that operators of linked websites on our website may collect Personal
Information about you when you link to their websites. ASI does not collect Personal
Information collected by these entities, but ASI’s Privacy Policy does not cover the information
practices of these entities.
We may use your Internet Protocol Number (the number assigned to your computer while it is
on the Internet) (“IP number”) to help diagnose problems with our server, and to administer
our website. Your IP number is used to gather broad, aggregate demographic information.
However, we do not link this information to Personal Information. In other words, even though
your session may be tracked, your identity will remain anonymous.
When do we disclose Personal Information?
ASI does not disclose Personal Information to any third parties unless required to do so by
law or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to the law or
comply with legal processes served on ASI or its affiliates; (b) protect and defend the rights or
property of ASI or the users of our website; and (c) act under circumstances where there may
be a concern for the protection or the personal safety of users of our website or the public.
ASI does not sell, trade or rent Personal Information or share it with other parties for
commercial purposes.
What about security?
ASI employs security measures to protect your Personal Information. Unfortunately, no data
transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Therefore, ASI does not
represent, warrant or guarantee that Personal Information will be protected against loss,
misuse or alteration and does not accept any liability for Personal Information submitted to it,
nor for your or third parties’ use or misuse of Personal Information.
