Welcome to InstantAmber. Keeping your non-public personal information secure and confidential is our top priority. Please take a moment to read the InstantAmber Privacy Policy carefully to learn how we handle your personal information.
This policy may change from time to time. Please check this policy each time you use our Website in order to have the most current information on this topic. Note: You must be 18 years old or older to register as a subscriber of InstantAmber. We do not knowingly solicit personal information from children or send them requests for non-public personal information.
In all circumstances, we take reasonable steps to give you, a subscriber of InstantAmber’s service or a user of our Website, clear notice when we are requesting information from you, the types of information we request from you, the general purposes for which that information will be used or disclosed and the categories of users to whom we provide the information. We will also offer you the ability to opt out of such uses, maintain accurate records and provide you access to your personally identifiable information (PII). We will use safe and secure systems, physical and electronic, to safeguard your non-public personal information.
While registering on our Website, we will ask you for the following types of information: contact information (such as name, address, phone number, and email address) and financial information (such as credit card number). This information is required in order to verify your identity, charge you the appropriate and agreed fees and fulfill our services on your behalf.
We do not collect PII on our Website through cookies or any other technology except where you clearly enter it.
Why we collect non-public personal information
As a subscriber of InstantAmber’s service or as a user of our Website, we want you to know that we will only collect your non-public personal information for the following reasons:
- To enroll you as a subscriber or complete a transaction
- To fulfill our services on your behalf
In both of these circumstances, we will only collect and use the minimum information needed to accomplish the stated purpose, and only with your full knowledge and consent. In many of these circumstances, our principal role is actually to facilitate a relationship in which you provide your information directly to a third party - for instance, to provide law enforcement with information necessary to file a police report.
How we collect non-public personal information
When you visit the InstantAmber Website, you are able to do so anonymously. Generally, we don't collect non-public personal information when you browse - not even your email address. InstantAmber does collect general Internet data, such as how often each of our web pages was visited and how much time was spent on each page. None of this information identifies you personally. We use it only to analyze traffic patterns on our Website in order to make our Website more useful to our visitors and to evaluate the effectiveness of our marketing efforts.
We may use log files on our webserver as well as third-party and internally developed Customer Relationship Management (CRM) technology to capture and analyze this data. We do not identify you personally, nor will we ever market to you from the information we gather without your express approval. The InstantAmber Website may contain links to other Websites. InstantAmber does not share your non-public personal information with those Websites and is not responsible for their privacy practices, which may differ from ours in significant ways. We encourage you to learn about the privacy policies of those Websites and the companies that operate them. However, Websites to which we link may use cookie technology to gather and store data about their visitors. Cookies contain a small amount of information, possibly including non-public personal information, which allows a web server to recognize you whenever you visit. Again, we encourage you to familiarize yourself with the privacy and information collection practices of any Website you visit.
We also receive information from you online when you send us email, applications and other forms, or when you register at our Website. We may also collect information about your transactions with us or with our direct partners, such as what products and services you ordered. In each of these circumstances, as mentioned above, we will only collect and use the minimum amount of information needed to accomplish the stated purpose, and only with your full knowledge and consent. We will never share this information with any third party. The InstantAmber Website is not intended for the use of children, defined as individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly solicit personal information from children or send them requests for non-public personal information.
When and to whom we disclose non-public personal information
We will never disclose your non-public personal information to any third party or affiliate under normal circumstances. As mentioned above, there are circumstances in which you yourself may provide non-public personal information to third parties involved in the crisis resolution process. Such information will be provided directly by you to the parties in question. Such third parties might include:
- a representative of law enforcement;
- another party, but only at your authorized request.
At times we may be required by law or legal process to disclose your personal information. We will comply with any such law or legal process.
How we protect your non-public personal information
InstantAmber uses highly secure physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard the confidentiality and security of the data you provide to us.
- None of your non-public personal information will ever be disclosed by us to any third party or affiliate in ways other than disclosed in this privacy statement.
- Only authorized employees of InstantAmber will have access to the data that you provide to us, and that access is granted only on a "need to know" basis.
- All stored personal data is electronically encrypted.
- We will never transmit any personal data that you provide to us over the public Internet without your authorization.
- Any data that we transmit over the public Internet will be sent via secure, encrypted channels.
Security
The security of your personal information is important to us. When you enter sensitive information (such as credit card number and/or social security number) on our registration or order forms, we encrypt that information using secure socket layer technology (SSL).
We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, however. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
If you have any questions about security on our Website, email us at info@InstantAmber.com. Additionally, we urge you to take every precaution to protect your personal data, both on and off the Internet.
Opt Out
We provide you the opportunity to "opt-out" of having your PII used for certain purposes, when we ask for this information. For example, if you purchase a product/service but do not wish to receive any additional marketing material from us, you can indicate your preference on our order form.
If you no longer wish to receive our newsletter and promotional communications, you may opt-out of receiving them by following the instructions by emailing us at info@InstantAmber.com, or by regular mail at:
Instant Amber, LLC
Bulletin Boards and Chat Rooms
From time to time we place testimonials on our Website from our clients. We do this only after asking permission from the client providing the testimonial. It may be removed at any time at the request of the client. Should you choose to disclose personal information on our Website, we are not responsible for the way third parties may use this information. Third parties may use your personal information for a variety of purposes, including unsolicited marketing and sales attempts.
Access to your non-public personal information
You always have access to the information we have about you. If you would like to review non-public personal information that InstantAmber may have about you, contact us via our secure Website. If you need to make changes to your non-public personal information, you may do so by logging into your account on this Website.
Our companywide commitment to privacy
To make sure your non-public personal information remains confidential, we communicate these privacy guidelines to every InstantAmber employee.
The InstantAmber Privacy Policy is subject to change at any time. We encourage you to review the privacy policy regularly for any changes.
