PRIVACY
POLICY
Advanced Diamond Technologies, Inc. (“Company”) knows that
you care about how your personal information is used and shared, and
we take your privacy seriously. Please read the following to learn more
about our privacy policy. By visiting the www.diamondseals.com
website and domain name, and any other linked pages, features, content,
or application services offered from time to time by Company in connection
therewith (collectively, the "Website"), or using any of our
services, you acknowledge that you accept the practices and policies
outlined in this Privacy Policy.
WHAT DOES THIS PRIVACY POLICY COVER?
This Privacy Policy covers Company’s treatment of personally identifiable
information ("Personal Information") that Company gathers
when you access the Website and when you use Company’s services.
This policy does not apply to the practices of companies that Company
does not own or control, or to individuals that Company does not employ
or manage.
WHAT PERSONAL INFORMATION DOES COMPANY COLLECT?
The information we gather from customers enables us to personalize and
improve our services. We collect the following types of information
from our customers:
Personal Information You Provide to Us:
We receive and store any information you enter on our Website or provide
to us in any other way. The types of Personal Information collected
include your full name, email address, IP address, browser information,
username, password and any other information necessary for us to provide
our services. You can choose not to provide us with certain information,
but then you may not be able to take advantage of many of our special
features. The Personal Information you provide is used for such purposes
as answering questions, sending product updates, and communicating with
you about Company’s products and services, including specials
and new features.
Personal Information Collected Automatically:
• We receive and store certain types of information whenever you
interact with our Website or use our services. Company automatically
receives and records information on our server logs from your browser
including your IP address, cookie information, and the page you requested.
• Generally, our service automatically collects usage information,
such as the numbers and frequency of visitors to our Website and its
components, similar to TV ratings that indicate how many people watched
a particular show. Company only uses this data in aggregate form, that
is, as a statistical measure, and not in a manner that would identify
you personally. This type of aggregate data enables us to figure out
how often customers use parts of the Website or services so that we
can make the Website appealing to as many customers as possible, and
improve those services. As part of this use of information, we may provide
aggregate information to our partners about how our customers, collectively,
use our Website or services. We share this type of statistical data
so that our partners also understand how often people use the Website
or services, so that they, too, may provide you with an optimal online
experience. Again, Company never discloses aggregate information to
a partner in a manner that would identify you personally.
E-mail Communications:
We often receive a confirmation when you open an email from Company
if your computer supports this type of program. Company uses this confirmation
to help us make emails more interesting and helpful. We also compare
our customer list to lists received from other companies, in an effort
to avoid sending unnecessary messages to our customers. When you receive
e-mail from Company, you can opt out of receiving further e-mails by
following the included instructions to unsubscribe.
What About Cookies?

which will prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, as well
as (depending on the sophistication of your browser software) allowing

because cookies enable you to take advantage of some of our Website’s
most attractive features.

advertising partners, who may set cookies. These cookies allow the ad
server to recognize your computer each time they send you an online
advertisement to compile information about you or others who use your
computer. This information allows ad networks to, among other things,
deliver targeted advertisements that they believe will be of most interest
