By using or accessing Awdio, you are accepting the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
Awdio's Privacy Policy covers the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information that may be collected by Awdio anytime you interact with Awdio such as when you visit our website, when you purchase Awdio Services, or when you call our sales or support associates. Please read carefully the following to learn more about our information practices, including what type of information is gathered, how the information is used and for what purposes, to whom we disclose the information, and how we safeguard your personal information. Your privacy is a priority at Awdio and we go to great lengths to protect it.

2. Why we collect information
We collect your personal information because it helps us deliver a superior level of customer service and provide a more useful online experience. It enables us to give you convenient access to our different services and focus on categories of greatest interest to you. In addition, Awdio may also collect information about you in order to provide you with more useful information and a more personalized experience (e.g. your personal information helps us keep you posted on the latest services announcements, special offers, and other events that you might like to hear about).
There are a number of situations in which your personal information may help us give you better services. For example when we collect your information regarding your activities on our website, we gain a better understanding of our customers and thus provide more valuable service. This helps us to determine how best to provide useful information to users and to understand which parts of our website, Services are of most interest to them. We may use personal information to provide services that you have requested as well as for auditing.

3. The information we collect and use of information obtained
When you visit Awdio you provide us with two types of information: personal information you knowingly choose to disclose that is collected by us and website use information collected by us as you interact with our website.
Your “My Awdio” account and related information. When you register with Awdio, you accept to provide us with certain personal information depending on the level of registration or account type. The Awdio website allows you to create a “My Awdio” personal account based on your personal information, such as your name, your email address, your telephone number (fixed line and/or cellular telephone numbers), and in some cases your mailing address, information about your use of the Service, and any other personal or preference information that you provide to us. This convenient service saves you time and allows for easier use of our services. The system saves your information and assigns you a personal Awdio ID/login (in many cases simply your email address). The next time you order from the Awdio Service, all you need to do is enter your Awdio ID/login and password; the system looks up the information it needs to assist you.
Furthermore, non-personal information are also gathered when you use or register with Awdio, such as your version of web browser (Netscape, Internet Explorer, etc.), the operating system (Windows 98, Mac Os, etc.) and the IP address of the computer from which you are visiting.
Cookies. As we said, when you enter Awdio, we collect your browser type and IP address. In addition, as is standard practice on many corporate websites, we store certain information from your browser using "cookies".
Awdio’s website uses “cookies” to help us understand which parts of our websites are the most popular, where our visitors are going, and how much time they spend there.
We use session ID cookies to confirm that users are logged in, in order to allow you to continue browsing without having to re-enter your identification information for each new page. These cookies terminate once the user closes the browser. By default, we use a persistent cookie that stores your login ID/login (but not your password) to make it easier for you to login when you come back to Awdio. At any time, you can remove or block this cookie using the settings in your web browser if you want to disable this convenience feature.
We also use cookies to make sure that our online advertising is bringing customers to our services, to study traffic patterns on our website, to make it even more rewarding as well as to study the effectiveness of our customer communications. And we use cookies to customize your experience and provide greater convenience each time you interact with us.
If, however, you prefer not to enable cookies, please note that certain features of the Awdio website will not be available once cookies are disabled.
As is true of most websites, we gather certain information automatically and store it in log files. This information includes Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and click stream data.
We use this information, which does not identify individual users, to analyze trends, to administer the site, to track users’ movements around the site and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole.
Children. Awdio recognizes that parents, guardians, or other adults often purchase our Services for family use, including use by minors. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 for marketing purposes, but because some information is collected electronically, it can appear to be the personal information of the Awdio purchaser of the Service, and will be treated as such by this Privacy Policy. If a child under 13 submits personal information to Awdio and we learn that that personal information is the information of a child under 13, we will attempt to delete the information as soon as permitted.

Retention. By using the Site or the Service, you are consenting to have your personal data transferred to and processed in Awdio’s offices. We store all of this information in a secure database.
Awdio takes precautions (technical, administrative, and physical measures) to safeguard your personal information against loss, theft, and misuse, as well as unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction.
