PLEASE READ THIS
AGREEMENT CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THIS SITE.
This Privacy Policy
("Privacy Policy") discloses the privacy
practices for Tennessee Chapter of the American
Foundry Society ("AFS-TN") with regard to your
("you" or "your") use of this web site (www.afs-tn.org) (the "site"). AFS-TN is committed to
your privacy.
AFS-TN hereby
notifies you of:
1. What personally
identifiable information of yours is collected
from you through this site and how the
information is used.
2. How the information may be shared.
3. How AFS-TN protects your information.
4. How you can correct any inaccuracies in the
information.
I. WHAT PERSONALLY
IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION OF YOURS IS COLLECTED
AND HOW THE INFORMATION IS USED.
a. Information
Collection and Use
AFS-TN is the sole
owner of the information collected on this site.
AFS-TN will not sell, share, transfer or rent
this information to others in ways different
from what is disclosed in this Privacy Policy.
b. Registration
For certain parts of
this site, your contact information (such as
name, e-mail address and/or present location)
will be collected. Such information allows
AFS-TN to process and fulfill your request. Your
contact information is also used to confirm your
identity and to contact you about the services
on the site for which you may have expressed
interest. When the site requests your identity,
the site will clearly indicate the purpose of
the inquiry before the information is requested.
c. IP Addresses
Every computer
connected to the Internet is given a domain name
and a set of numbers that serve as that
computer's "Internet Protocol" or IP address.
When you request a page from any page within the
site, our Web servers automatically recognize
your domain name and IP address. The domain name
and IP address reveal nothing personal about you
other than the IP address from which you have
accessed the site. AFS-TN may use IP addresses
to analyze trends, administer the site, track
your movement, and gather broad demographic
information for aggregate use.
d. Children's and
Minor's Privacy
Protecting the
privacy of the very young is uniquely important,
particularly on the Internet. The site is
designed to provide commercial business
information and services for adults. This site
is not designed to attract minors, in particular
children under the age of 13. AFS-TN does not
market to or knowingly collect information from
anyone under the age of 13. Children should
always get permission from their parents before
sending any information about themselves (such
as their names, email addresses, and phone
numbers) to anyone over the Internet.
e. Opt Out
Procedures
You may opt-out of
receiving communications from AFS-TN at the
point where the site requests personally
identifiable information about you. Contact
Elliot Fair to be removed from an e-mail
list. If you are using an e-mail forwarding
service or other similar service please make
sure to include the correct e-mail address or
addresses.
f. Cookies
A cookie is a small
piece of data that is sent to your browser from
a Web server and stored on your computer's hard
drive. A cookie cannot read data off your hard
disk or read cookie files created by other
sites. Use of a cookie is in no way linked to
any personally identifiable information while on
the site. Once you close your browser, the
cookie simply terminates. For instance, by
setting a cookie on the site, you would not have
to log in a password more than once, thereby
saving time while on the site.
You can choose
whether to accept cookies by changing the
setting of your browser. You can reset your
Browser to refuse all cookies or allow your
browser to show you when a cookie is being sent.
If you reject the cookies on the site, you may
still use the site. The only drawback to this is
that the user may be limited in some areas of
this site. Some of AFS-TN's business partners
may use cookies on the site. However, AFS-TN has
no access to or control over these cookies.
AFS-TN and its business partners may use cookies
to better personalize the content, banners,
and/or promotions that you see on the site.
II. HOW INFORMATION
MAY BE SHARED.
a. Sharing
AFS-TN may share
aggregated demographic information with AFS-TN's
partners. This is not linked to any personal
information that can identify any individual
person. AFS-TN may partner with another party to
provide specific services. When you sign up for
these services, AFS-TN will share names, or
other contact information that is necessary for
the third party to provide these services. Per
AFS-TN's contractual arrangements with parties,
these parties are not allowed to use personally
identifiable information except for the explicit
purpose of providing these services.
AFS-TN shall not be
liable for the transfer of any personal
identification information resulting from loss
or distribution of data, the delineation or
corruption of storage media, power failures,
natural phenomena, riots, acts of vandalism,
sabotage, terrorism or any other event beyond
AFS-TN's control.
b. Sale of Assets,
Merger, Acquisition, Bankruptcy
Information
collected from you may be transferred to a third
party as a result of a sale or acquisition,
merger or bankruptcy involving AFS-TN.
c. Spam
AFS-TN maintains a
strict "No-Spam" policy, which means that AFS-TN
does not intend to sell, rent or otherwise give
your e-mail address to a third party without
your consent.
d. Legal Requests
AFS-TN cooperates
with law enforcement inquiries, as well as other
third parties, to enforce laws and third party
rights, such as intellectual property rights and
laws relating to fraud. Therefore, in response
to a verified request by law enforcement or
other government officials relating to a
criminal investigation or alleged illegal
activity, or other activity that may expose
AFS-TN or you to legal liability, AFS-TN can
(and you authorize AFS-TN to) disclose your
personal data and other information about you as
AFS-TN, in its sole discretion, believes
necessary or appropriate.
III. HOW AFS-TN
PROTECTS YOUR INFORMATION.
a. Confidentiality
and Security
AFS-TN protects your
personal information off-line. Access to your
personal information is limited to employees who
AFS-TN reasonably believes will need that
information to provide services to you. However,
AFS-TN is not responsible for the
confidentiality, security or distribution of
your own personal information by our partners
and third parties outside the scope of our
agreement with such partners and third parties.

This site may
contain links to other sites. The linked sites
are not necessarily under the control of AFS-TN.
Please be aware that AFS-TN is not responsible
for the privacy practices of such other sites.

this site and to read the privacy policies of
each and every web site that collects personally
identifiable information. If you decide to

b. Notification of
Changes
If AFS-TN decides to
change the Privacy Policy for this site, AFS-TN
will post those changes on www.afs-tn.org so you

collects, how AFS-TN uses it, and under what
circumstances, if any, AFS-TN discloses it. If
you have provided personally identifiable
information before the changes in AFS-TN's
Privacy Policy, you will have a choice as to
whether or not AFS-TN uses your information in
this different manner. If you choose that AFS-TN
not use your personally identifiable information
in accordance with the new privacy policy,
AFS-TN will use information in accordance with
the privacy policy under which the information
was originally collected.
