A&E Salvage Privacy Policy

We take your privacy seriously. Because we gather certain types of information about our users, we want to help you understand the terms and conditions surrounding the collection and use of that information. This Privacy Policy discloses the types of information we gather, how we use it, and how you can correct or change it.

1. Information Collection and Use

A&E Salvage, Inc. ("A&E Salvage") is the owner of information collected on this site. We will not sell, share, or rent this information to any third parties, except to the entities listed in Sections 4 and 10 of the Terms of Use, now existing or to be established, and except as outlined in this policy. Our primary goal in collecting personal information is to provide you with the best and most useful content and services. Several of the services and features that we offer on our sites require you to provide us with information as a condition of usage.

We collect personally identifiable information, such as your name, email address, postal address, phone number, and mobile number when you provide it to us. We also require you to submit a username and password of your choice for future access to account information. To safeguard that your user name and password remain confidential, DO NOT share this information with anyone. If you elect to receive special promotions, your contact information will be used for the delivery of these items.

2. Registration

In order to use our site, you must first complete the registration form. During registration, you will be required to provide your contact information, which includes your name, e-mail address, telephone number, and street address. In addition, you will be required to create a user name and password in order to post, email, transmit, and upload content onto our site.

3. Cookies

We assign cookies to our readers in order to save their preferences. We will not share any personally identifiable information provided by this cookie with any third party except to the entities listed in Sections 4 and 10 of the Terms of Use or as provided herein. We will, however, link data stored in cookies to personally identifiable information you submit while on our site. Accessing our website is not dependent on accepting cookies and you may disable the cookies if you wish. However, if you set your browser to refuse cookies, some portions of the site may not function properly.

4. Log Files

We also automatically receive and record information from our servers and from your browser, including your IP address, to track user movement, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. We do not link IP addresses to personally identifiable information nor do we distribute or share IP information with third parties.

5. Sharing

We may make your personally identifiable information available to third parties when:

• You have elected to allow us to share that information at the time you registered with us or provided us the information, or through subsequent affirmative election through our website.
• You use cobranded services (i.e., sites or services that we offer to you in connection with a partner, who is identified on the site). When you use a cobranded service within our network of sites, you grant us permission to pass your registration information back to that service partner. Their use of your information is subject to their applicable privacy policies.
• We hire third-party vendors to provide specialized services such as customer support; email message deployment; suppression, merge and de-duplication services; data processing; and special products or services that you have requested. These companies are only allowed to use the information in order to help us fulfill our services to you. We do not provide your information to these companies for their own, permanent use.
• When required by law, such as when we respond to a subpoena, court order, or other legal process, including, but not limited to investigations conducted by law enforcement agencies.
• We believe your actions violate applicable laws, our Terms of Use, or threaten the rights, property, or safety of our company, our users, or others.

We are always looking to improve our business and, in accomplishing this objective, we may buy or sell a company, or one or more of the companies in our corporate family may merge or be acquired by another company. User information is one of the business assets that would be transferred in these types of transactions. In such a situation, your personally identifiable information would be used in a manner consistent with our pre-existing Privacy Policy.

6. Postings
