occasionally.

Types of Information We Collect
At our site, we collect both personal information and aggregate
information.
Personal information relates to an individual consumer - e.g., name,
address, telephone number, e-mail address, etc. We only collect personal
information from individuals who provide it to us voluntarily and
knowingly by registering at our site. We don't require you to register
or provide this information to us in order to view our site or have
access to its content.
Aggregate information relates to such things as how many consumers visit
the site, which pages they access, what information they download, the
type of web browser and operating system you use, the name of your
Internet Service Provider, and so on. When you
visit our site, we automatically collect this information, and combine
it with similar information collected about all other visitors. By
collecting this information, we learn how to best tailor our website to
our visitors.
How
collect the information
As we mentioned above, personal information is collected from you
directly and with your knowledge when you register on the site. When you
e-mail us, we collect the e-mail address you supply, so that we can
respond.
We also collect aggregate, non-personal information on an ongoing basis
when you view our website. The collection of this non-personal
information is done either through "cookie" technology or with "web
beacons" (also called 'single-pixel gifs'), as explained below.
Cookies
Like many companies, we use "cookie" technology on and off of our
website. Cookies are pieces of information that a website transfers to
an individual's hard drive for purpose of keeping records. They enhance
your online experience by saving your preferences while you are visiting
a particular site. The cookies do not contain any personal information
and cannot profile your system or collect information from your hard
drive.
When you view our website we may place a "cookie" on your computer.
Temporary cookies are used for purposes such as counting the number of
visits to our sites. These temporary cookies are eliminated when you
exit your browser. A permanent cookie may also be stored on your
computer by your browser. When you log in, this type of cookie tells us
whether you've visited us before or if you are a new visitor. The cookie
doesn't obtain any personal information about you or provide us with any
way to contact you, and the cookie doesn't extract any information from
your computer.
The "help" portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to
prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser
notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies
altogether. Remember, though, that cookies allow you to take full
advantage of all of American Development Corp's newest website features, and we
recommend that you leave them turned on.
Web Beacons
Web beacons are Internet instrumentations that help us to determine
whether a page has been viewed.
Third party advertising networks that serve ads onto any American
Development Corp website may use cookies and/or web beacons in their
advertisements. American Development Corp retains no control over these third
party cookies and/or web beacons and does not have access to whatever
information they may collect on behalf of the third party. To learn more
about third party advertising networks and their privacy policies, click

In addition, American Development Corp may use cookies and/or web beacons when
American Development Corp advertises on other companies' websites. Any
information we gather in this way will be governed by this Privacy
Policy.
Contests
Our site sometimes includes notices of contests we are organizing, and
we may permit you to register electronically. If that occurs, we will
use the information you provide for the purpose of conducting the
contest (e.g., to contact you if you're a winner) or registering you for
it.
Questionnaires and Surveys
We may occasionally ask visitors to complete surveys and opinion polls
about their attitudes and interests. Surveys help us to understand your
needs. If sample answers to surveys are posted on the website site, no
personally identifiable information will be included. If you participate
in one of our surveys, you can be assured that we do not maintain any
personal information about you in our databases as a result of the
survey.
How We Use Your Personal
Information
If you specifically agreed to follow-up contacts by us or asked to be
put on our mailing list when you registered, we may contact you from
time to time. For example, we may send you marketing or promotion
materials; we may respond to your comments or requests for information;
or we may contact you if needed in the course of processing a service
you requested through our website.
In the e-mail section of our site, we ask for some personal information,
such as your name and phone number. We use this information only if we
need to contact you directly because our attempts to contact you by
e-mail were unsuccessful. We don't use your e-mail address for any
purpose other than responding to the message you've sent, unless we have
your permission.
We also use personal information about you to improve our marketing and
promotional efforts; to statistically analyze website usage; and to
improve our features and content. We may also use your personal
information to deliver content that is customized to your interests as
we best understand them from the information you've provided to us as
well as from your activities on the site. This customized content may
include such things as banners and promotions. We do not collect
personal information automatically, but we may combine non-personal
information collected automatically (through cookies) with your
previously submitted personal information.
Advertising
Partners
Third Parties Who Provide Support Services to American Development Corp.
In the course of doing business, we employ other companies and
individuals to perform a variety of functions on our behalf. For
example, we hire agencies to produce advertising materials for us or
assist with event planning and execution. These agents may have access
to personal information if it is needed to perform their functions for
American Development Corp; however, they are prohibited from using it for other
purposes and they are required to maintain the information in
confidence.
Data
Sharing and Transfer
We do not sell, transfer, or disclose the personal information we gather
at our website to third parties without your prior consent. There are
only two exceptions to this rule: (1) We will disclose information in
cases where we believe in good faith that it is necessary to prevent a
crime or an injury to ourselves or third parties; and (2) We disclose
information to third parties who provide support services to us, as
described above.
There may be times when we share aggregate information about our
visitors (for example, the percentage of male and female visitors to our
site) with advertisers, business partners, sponsors, and other third
parties in an effort to customize or enhance the content and advertising
of our site for our users. We may also aggregate data from web log files
(such as your web browser, operating system, pages visited, etc.) to
understand how users navigate the site and what features are most
popular.
Links to
Other Sites
American Development Corp does its best to make sure that every link on our
website sends you to a helpful place on the Internet. However, websites
and addresses change quickly, and American Development Corp cannot guarantee the
content of every site to which we provide a link. In addition, different
websites have different privacy policies. You should always check the
privacy policy of the specific site you're visiting to understand your
rights.
Choice and
Control
You are ultimately in control of the personal information you provide to
us on our site. You can cancel your registration altogether and we will
take prompt steps to remove your personal information from our database.
Important
Note to Kids
Before providing your name, address, e-mail address, or any other
personal information to anyone on the Internet, be sure to ask your
parents if it's OK.
Children's Privacy Policy
We do not directly collect personal information from kids under 13 in
the child-directed areas of our website, except as permitted by federal
regulations and CARU guidelines. We do sometimes offer contest
registration on our website. In those cases, we permit the child to
enter by submitting their information. If the parent permits the child's
participation in the contest and the child wins, we contact the parent
(not the child) for further personal information needed for any prize
delivery. We do not use the child's personal information for any purpose
other than registration in the contest, and we do not share the
information with third parties (other than support service companies as
described above), unless we've explicitly said so. We delete the child's
personal information from our database within a reasonable time after
the conclusion of these promotions, unless the parent has given
permission for us to retain the information in our files.
We also might permit a child to send us an e-mail. We will respond to or
deliver these e-mails, but we do not store the names, e-mail addresses,
or the e-mails themselves in our operational database. We do not
maintain this information, nor do we share it with third parties (other
than support service companies as described above).
Under federal law, websites directed to children under 13 are prohibited
from conditioning a child's participation in an activity on the child's
disclosing more personal information than is reasonably necessary to
engage in the activity. We comply fully with this requirement.
Upon proper identification, any parent can review any personal
information we have collected from their child, if we are still
maintaining the information in our operational database. They may also
request that the information be deleted from our database, and refuse to
permit further collection or use of their child's information. If you
are a parent and wish to exercise these rights, please contact American
Development Corp.
