As a part of the operation of the Website, ATP gathers certain information about users. This Privacy Policy applies to the Website and governs data collection and usage at the Website. Prior to registering for any membership, chat, networking, voting and/or other online service enabled through the Website (“Online Service”) or entering any of the Website’s contests, sweepstakes or promotions (“Promotions”), you are required to acknowledge and consent to this Privacy Policy.

Data Collected
Two types of data are collected: (a) personal data, such as names, company names, postal addresses, e-mail addresses, telephone numbers, credit cards, financial institution account information, age, gender, and product and services preferences (“Personal Data”); and (b) non-personal aggregate or traffic data, such as your IP address, which web pages are being visited, the order in which the web pages are being visited, which hyperlinks are being “clicked”, how many users are visiting the Website, domain server, type of computer and type of web browser (“Traffic Data” and together with Personal Data, the “Collected Data”).

Traffic Data is tracked and gathered when you and other users visit the Website. While gathering Traffic Data may not collect Personal Data, it may provide information on the geographical location from which users access the site. This Traffic Data generally does not identify individual users. Instead, the Traffic Data identifies Website users as a whole, including demographic information, preferences in content and advertising, quality of service, and web traffic patterns.
Names and other Collected Data may be released to affiliated (by contract, equity or otherwise) persons and/or entities of ATP (including without limitation, strategic alliances and advertising affiliated persons and/or entities). For instance, Personal Data may be used to: (1) send you information about ATP and our Online Service, Promotions, products, services, offers and/or upcoming events; (2) send you information about affiliated persons’ and/or entities’ related products and services; (3) conduct surveys about your opinion of ATP, its staff, performance or services or the Website; (4) verify your qualifications for certain Promotions, Online Services, products and other services and to bill you for any such products and services; and (5) customize and tailor your experience on the Website by displaying content that we think you might be interested in according to your preferences. You consent to the release of your Collected Data to the affiliated persons and/or entities of ATP.
Names and other Collected Data may also be released to any non-affiliated persons and/or entities directly associated with your instructions, requests, reservations and/or registrations for an Online Service, Promotion, products and/or services provided by such non-affiliated persons and/or entities (including without limitation, customer support, information technology support, credit card processing and processing and personal profile services) when the transfer of such Collected Data is necessary to provide you with such products and/or services. By instructing, requesting, reserving and/or registering for such products and/or services through the Website from such non-affiliated person and/or entity, you consent to the release of your Personal Data to such non-affiliated person and/or entity. ATP shall use reasonable efforts to provide the non-affiliated person and/or entity access to only the Personal Data necessary to assist in responding to instructions and requests and completing reservations and/or registrations for such products and/or services and cause non-affiliated persons and/or entities to uses your Personal Data for these limited purposes.
In the event that ATP sells, buys, merges or otherwise reorganizes, all or a controlling part of, ATP’s assets and/or equity, your Collected Data may be released, transferred, sold or otherwise conveyed (“Conveyed”) to prospective or actual buyers, sellers or persons and/or entities merging with ATP. You consent to any and all such Conveyances of your Collected Data.

Names and other Collected Data may also be released to the sponsors of Promotions for the sponsors’ use in connection with the Promotion. By entering a Promotion, you consent to the release of your Collected Data to the Promotion sponsor or as otherwise allowed in accordance with the Promotion rules.

Cookies
The Website may place small files, called “cookies” onto your computer. Cookies are data files that websites write onto computer hard drives for record keeping purposes when you visit them. The cookie file then identifies you as unique user.

Measures to Safeguard Children
ATP encourages parents and guardians to spend time with their children online and to be fully familiar with the sites visited by their children. At various places on the Website, ATP may ask users whether they are under the age of 18 or 21. ATP relies on users to be truthful in responding to these questions.
ATP does not intentionally gather or solicit Personal Data from or about children under 18 years of age. A parent or guardian whose child provided Personal Data to ATP without the parent or guardian’s consent should immediately notify ATP of such disclosure in writing to the contact provided below. ATP, upon receipt such written notice, shall take reasonable measures to remove such disclosed information from ATP’s database.

ATP has implemented security measures to help protect your Personal Data. For example, ATP stores Personal Data on secured servers and transmits Personal Data through secure and encrypted channels.
Although ATP has implemented such security measures to help protect your Personal Data, your Personal Data may still be accessed, altered, disclosed and/or otherwise used in an unauthorized manner and as such, ATP is not responsible if such unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure and/or other uses occur.
