What information does Aztec gather about me?

When you visit this site, we may collect information on two different levels about your visit:

• Anonymous statistics collected as you browse the site

Aztec collects personal information such as name, address and e-mail address, when you knowingly provide it to us. Our Web servers automatically collect statistical information about your visit such as pages visited and which browsers are used to visit our site.

Aztec's Online Ordering: Aztec provides Aztec products and Third-Party products for purchase and, at the time of purchase, you may be required to provide your credit card number to conclude the transaction and your mailing address to ensure proper delivery. Credit card information is never transferred to our customer database and is only used for collection purposes.

Aztec Forums: During registration for the Aztec Forums support service, the registrant is asked to provide information such as name, email address, the Aztec products owned by the registrant, and other information. The registrant's name, email address, and the Aztec products owned will be added to Aztec's customer database, unless you instruct us otherwise. This information helps us to inform customers when upgrades or changes to products occur. Any other information provided by the registrant will be used only in an aggregate form to help Aztec better define the likes, dislikes and general demographic picture of our customers.

Remember that any information you disclose while posting messages to the Aztec Forums message boards is immediately accessible by the public - discretion should be used in posting personally identifiable information within such forums.

Downloads: Aztec makes available various types of information for download from the Aztec site. Before these items can be downloaded, you are asked to provide information such as name, email address, the Aztec products owned by the registrant, and other information. The registrant's name, email address, and the Aztec products owned will be added to Aztec's customer database, unless you instruct us otherwise. Any other information provided by the registrant will be used only in an aggregate form to help Aztec better define the likes, dislikes and general demographic picture of our customers.

Aztec may also offer Third-Party products for download (such as Adobe Acrobat reader software). Visitors requesting to download such Third-Party software are encouraged to learn more about the privacy practices of any of the Third-Party software owners before submitting your information at the time of download.

Contests and/or Sweepstakes: Aztec may at times offer contests and sweepstakes on the Aztec site. Because the rules and terms of each contest or sweepstake can vary, all information about each contest or sweepstake will be clearly posted during the event. All contests and sweepstakes are conducted in full accordance with United States federal and state laws. When registering
for a contest or sweepstake, Aztec requests certain personal information. At a minimum, the required information includes name and email address; in some cases, the user may need to answer mandatory survey questions about a range of other personal data.
The information gathered in the entry form is used to:
Verify the entrant's identity;

1. To send the entrant an email notification that their entry has been received;
2. To contact winners and/or prize recipients; and
3. To compile general, non-personal demographic information.

Surveys: Occasionally Aztec may conduct on-line user surveys or polls to better target the content of the Aztec site and the Aztec products to our Web visitors and the public in general. We sometimes may share the aggregated demographic information in these surveys with our partners. We never share information about specific individuals with any third party.

Aztec Forums Support Service: Users of the Aztec Forums must register separately (free of charge) in order to post messages on the Aztec Forums (although a user need not register to simply read information posted there). During registration, the user is required to supply a username, password, and email address.

Remember that any information you disclose while posting messages to the Aztec Forums message boards is immediately accessible by the public - discretion should be used in posting personally identifiable information within such forums.
