who you are. The information we collect and
store about your visit is listed below: |

such information in any of the following limited
circumstances: |

We provide such information to trusted businesses
or persons for the sole purpose of processing

behalf. When this is done, it is subject to
agreements that oblige those parties to process
such information only on our instructions

and appropriate confidentiality and security
measures. |
| |

We conclude that we are required by law
or have a good faith belief that access, preservation

necessary to protect the rights, property
or safety of Ahtspot.com, its users or the
public.
If you have an account, we may share the information
submitted under your account among all of
our services in order to provide you with
a seamless experience and to improve the quality
of our services. We will not disclose your

companies, except in the limited circumstances
described in this Policy or with your consent. |
| In
the unlikely event of a transfer of ownership
of Ahtspot.com, such as acquisition by or
merger with another company, we will provide
notice before any personally identifying information
is transferred and becomes subject to a different
privacy policy. |

| Privacy of Minors: |
| Ahtspot.com does not solicit personal information
from minors. Consistent with the Children's
Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998, we
will never knowingly request personally identifiable
information from anyone under the age of eighteen

| If
we become aware that a subscriber is under
the age of eighteen (18) and has registered
without prior verifiable parental consent,
we will remove his or her personally identifiable
registration information from our files. Please
note: We may nevertheless maintain a record
of that person's name and address in a "do
not register" file to avoid subsequent
registration by a child under the age of eighteen
(18). |
| |

Policy: |

time to time. We expect most changes to be
minor, but there may be changes that are more
