Privacy
Please read the following to learn more about our Privacy Policy. By visiting SAA’s web site, submitting information to SAA or using any of our products or services, you acknowledge that you accept the practices and policies outlined in this Privacy Policy.
Overview
This Privacy Policy covers SAA’s treatment of personally identifiable information (“Personal Information”) that SAA gathers when you are accessing SAA’s website and when you register and use SAA services.
Information Collected
If you elect to register with SAA, we collect your email address in order to provide notifications to you about our products and services. We may receive a confirmation when you open an email from SAA if your computer supports this type of program.
We may receive and store certain types of anonymous information whenever you interact with our web site or services, such as your browser type, IP address, cookie information, and the page you requested. SAA generally only uses this data in aggregate form and not in a manner that would identify you personally. However, if you have registered with SAA using our site and your browser accepts cookies, SAA may automatically collect individualized information regarding your visits to SAA’s site (“Individual Site Usage Information”) to provide you with a more personalized customer experience. As part of this use of information, we may provide aggregate information to our partners about how our customers, collectively, use our site. If you do not wish to have your Individual Usage Information collected, please see the “What About Cookies” section below for further information.
Cookies
Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we may transfer to your computer’s hard drive through your browser to enable our systems to recognize your browser and tell us how and when pages in our site are visited and by how many people. SAA cookies do not collect Personal Information; however, we may combine the general information collected through cookies with other Personal Information in connection with our collection of Individual Site Usage Information (as described above). If you do not wish to have your Individual Site Usage Information collected, most browsers have an option for turning off the cookie feature, which will prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, as well as (depending on the sophistication of your browser software) allowing you to decide on acceptance of each new cookie in a variety of ways. Please be aware that disabling cookies may reduce your ability to access certain portions of the SAA website, and that by disabling cookies, you are agreeing not to access those portions of the SAA website. In addition, we may also record the pages you visit on the website through the use of pixel tags (also called “clear gifs” or “beacons”).
Information Sharing
We neither rent nor sell your Personal Information to anyone. We share your Personal Information only with your consent or to business partners and affiliates as described below:
Agents: We may employ other companies and people to perform tasks on our behalf and need to share your information with them to provide products or services to you. Unless we tell you differently, SAA’s agents do not have any right to use Personal Information we share with them beyond what is necessary to assist us. You hereby consent to our sharing of Personal Information for the above purposes.
Business Transfers: In some cases, we may choose to buy or sell business assets. In these types of transactions, customer information is typically one of the business assets that is transferred. Moreover, if SAA, or substantially all of its assets, were acquired, customer information would be one of the assets that is transferred or acquired by a third party. You acknowledge that such transfers may occur, and that any acquirer of SAA may continue to use your Personal Information as set forth in this policy.
Protection of SAA and Others: We may release Personal Information when we believe in good faith that release is necessary to comply with any law; enforce or apply our terms of use and other agreements; or protect the rights, property, or safety of SAA, our employees, our customers, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction.
Security
SAA takes appropriate steps to ensure data privacy and security including through various hardware and software methodologies. However, due to the open communication nature of the Internet, we cannot guarantee that communications between you and the SAA website, and the SAA website and you, will be free from unauthorized access by third parties. Users of the SAA website do so at their own risk with respect to such communications.
Children
SAA does not knowingly collect or use personal information regarding children under the age of 13. If SAA obtains actual knowledge that it has collected personal information about a child under the age of 13, that information will be immediately deleted from our database.
Changes to this Privacy Policy
SAA may amend this Privacy Policy from time to time. Use of information we collect now is subject to the Privacy Policy in effect at the time such information is collected. If we make changes in the way we use Personal Information, we will notify you by posting an amendment to the Privacy Policy on the website. Such modifications will become effective on the day they are posted. SAA encourages you to frequently review this Privacy Policy for any modifications.
Email Communications & Opt-Out
If you wish to: (i) remove your personally identifiable information from our system in order to stop receiving information from us, (ii) update your Personal Information, or (iii) have any questions about this privacy statement, the practices of this site, or your dealings with this website, please send us a detailed message (with sufficient information for us to identify your Personal Information) at privacy@SAA.com.
