This Privacy Policy is intended to inform users about the general approach Assisting Hands® uses in collecting, using and disseminating user information via www.assistinghands.com.
What Data Do We Collect Automatically And Why?
When you visit www.assistinghands.com our web server automatically recognizes your domain name, but not your e-mail address. We collect the domain name and monitor general site use and traffic patterns to improve our web site and the products and services we offer. Assisting Hands® uses web server logs to collect data for metric purposes. Examples of the types of data collected on the logs are IP addresses, referral pages, date and time of Site access, and Site visited. We may use collected data to customize the content and/or layout of our pages for each individual visitor.
Do We Use Cookies Or Tracers?
Cookies are small data files placed on your hard drive by a website server when you visit. www.assistinghands.com may use cookies for tracking purposes or to make the Site easier to use. Cookies are currently the only way to effectively identify a unique anonymous visitor and understand how they navigate our web site. An anonymous visitor to our site remains anonymous in all cases. We do not attempt to identify visitors if they do not voluntarily submit personal information to us. With most internet browsers, you can erase cookies from your computer hard drive, block all cookies, or receive a warning before a cookie is stored. Cookies offer enhanced functionality to the user, but whether you allow a cookie to be placed on your computer is up to you.
In some instances, we use tracking scripts or “tracers” that recognize a unique identifier from a cookie placed on your hard drive by another website. These are used by Assisting Hands® solely to gauge the success of our own advertising. For instance, we may use a tracer to determine whether you visit our site by clicking on an Assisting Hands® banner ad from a different website. We do not use tracers to gather information on your use of the internet unrelated to Assisting Hands®. Please note that Assisting Hands® does not use tracers to identify your personal information, and you remain anonymous.
Do We Collect Personal Information?
In some cases, Assisting Hands® requests personally identifiable information from you in order to satisfy the underlying transaction or purpose of your accessing the Site.

Please note that we do not consider aggregated information, from which personally identifiable information has been removed, to be private.
What Security Is Provided?
We do not treat your general interaction with www.assistinghands.com (e.g., submission of suggestions) as confidential. However, certain Assisting Hands® Sites do conduct transactions for which heightened security is appropriate. For instance, certain Assisting Hands® Sites encrypt your personal information (e.g., for transmission of credit card data), so that only appropriate personnel are able to decode your information.

Please refer to the agreements and policies applicable to the Assisting Hands® Site for which you provide personal information in order to assure that you understand applicable security practices.

We do not rent, sell, or trade any personally identifiable information about you (e.g., e-mail addresses) to third parties. Certain Assisting Hands® Sites may disclose information to third parties assisting us in processing a transaction requested by you (e.g., credit card service providers). In order to cooperate with legitimate governmental requests, subpoenas, or court orders, to protect Assisting Hands® and/or Assisting Hands® ‘s systems and customers, or to ensure the integrity and operation of Assisting Hands® and/or Assisting Hands® ‘s business and systems, Assisting Hands® and/or Assisting Hands® may access and disclose any information it considers necessary or appropriate under the circumstances.
