3. Disclosure/Transfer of Your Personal Information
AIC does not sell, rent or lease its user lists to third parties.
AIC may access and/or disclose your Personal Information if required or permitted to do so by law.

For example, we store the Personal Information you provide on computer systems with limited access which are located in controlled facilities.

6. Use of Cookies
AIC may use “cookies” to facilitate your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you. One of the primary purposes of cookies is to ensure that you are authorized to use SAHARA.

You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. Please note that if you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to use SAHARA and some of the content on our Site.

7. Use of Web Beacons
Some pages on the Site may contain electronic images known as Web beacons - sometimes called single-pixel gifs - that allow AIC to count users who have visited those pages.

AIC may also place Web beacons from third parties on our site in order to compile aggregated statistics and to help determine the effectiveness of our promotional or advertising campaigns. AIC prohibits third parties, by contractual means, from using Web beacons on our Site to access your Personal Information.

8. Changes to this Policy
AIC encourages you to periodically review this Policy. AIC will occasionally update or change this Privacy Policy. When AIC makes changes to this Policy, you will see the word “updated” next to the Privacy Policy link on the introductory page of the Site for a period of at least thirty (30) days from the date of the update. The date that this Policy was last updated will appear at the top of the Privacy Policy.
