PRIVACY POLICY

PROTECTION OF CUSTOMER INFORMATION
We understand the importance of privacy to our customers and visitors to our Web site. Our policy has been to treat what we learn about our customers as confidential. For example, we will not give or sell confidential or personal information about our customer to any third party not affiliated with their transaction, except as required by law or as necessary to provide GA services to the customer.

We collect and store information about every purchase transaction we handle so that we can efficiently provide the products and services demanded by our customers. We use information about our customers, to provide or enhance the products and services we make available to our customers, to enhance our ability to communicate with our customers about additional products and services they may find of value, to satisfy our legitimate business interests (including performing trend analysis and market studies), to set prices, establish credit, accomplish the billing function, and to comply with government regulations.

As we collect and use information about our customers, we may contract with vendors to assist us in processing that information. These vendors are required to maintain the confidentiality of the information and are restricted from using the information for any purpose other than helping to provide GA services to our customers.

Some of the information collected by GA is personal data or data which relates to an identifiable person. Examples of personal data are names, addresses, e-mail addresses, credit card numbers and telephone numbers. We never sell information to third parties that could be used to specifically identify an individual customer or group of customers. Finally, we do provide personal data to government agencies as required by law or regulation.

In addition to the uses of the information described in the paragraphs above, we collect telephone numbers and e-mail addresses in the event that we have to contact the customer, to resolve a question or provide status information.

LINKS TO OTHER SITES
GA provides links to external sites as a convenience to the user. The inclusion of any link does not imply GA endorsement of the external site company, its web site, or the products and services it promotes and sells. GA is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such Web sites.

SECURITY AND INTEGRITY OF INFORMATION
We treat our data as assets that must be protected against loss and unauthorized access. We employ information security techniques to appropriately protect confidential information from unauthorized access by users inside and outside the company. Access to customer information is limited to those employees who have a legitimate business need for that information.

GA Internet sites are currently located in the United States. GA Internet sites, and their supporting systems, employ generally accepted information security techniques such as firewalls, access control procedures and cryptography to appropriately protect confidential information from unauthorized access.

RETENTION OF CUSTOMER INFORMATION
We retain information about customers as necessary for business purposes and as required by government regulation.
