On our Web sites, you may have an opportunity to post user-generated content using social networking tools available on those sites. If you take advantage of this opportunity, remember that the user-generated content you post is available to others who visit the Web site and therefore you should have no expectation of privacy with respect to such content.

If such a transfer occurs, we will use reasonable efforts to direct the transferee to use personal information you have provided to us in a manner consistent with this policy. Following such a sale or transfer, you may contact the entity to which we transferred your personal information with any inquiries concerning the processing of that information.
Your Rights and Choices
You may have certain rights regarding the personal information we maintain about you. We offer you certain choices about what personal information we collect from you, how we use that information, and how we communicate with you.
You may refrain from submitting information directly to us, although doing so may impact our ability to provide the products, services, and information you request.
You may elect not to have a unique cookie identification number assigned to your computer to avoid aggregation and analysis of data collected on our Web sites. Generally, if you do not wish to receive cookies, you may set your browser to reject cookies or to alert you when a cookie is placed on your computer. Although you are not required to accept cookies when you visit our Web sites, you may be unable to use all of the functionality of our sites if your browser rejects our cookies.

Data Transfers
We may transfer the personal information we collect about you to countries other than the country in which the information was originally collected.

When we transfer your information to other countries, we will protect that information as described in this policy.
How We Protect Personal Information
We maintain reasonable administrative, physical and technological measures to protect the confidentiality and security of information about you. Unfortunately, no Web site, server or database is completely secure or "hacker proof." We therefore cannot guarantee that information about you will not be disclosed, misused or lost by accident or by the unauthorized acts of others. ASTRA/CFX never collects information for third party commercial marketing purposes nor does it create individual profiles or provide your information to any third party organization. ASTRA/CFX will only share your information with third parties when and as you request or as otherwise required by law.

We are proud of our Web sites and we strive to ensure that they do not offend people of any age. However, unless otherwise noted on a particular site, our Web sites are not intended for children under the age of eighteen years without the permission of a parent or guardian. If you believe that a child has submitted personally identifiable information on or through our Web sites without the consent and supervision of a parent or guardian, please contact us using the information provided below so that we can take appropriate action.
Links to Other Web sites
Our Web sites may provide links to other Web sites for your convenience and information. These Web sites may operate independently from ASTRA/CFX. Linked sites may have their own privacy notices or policies, which we strongly suggest you review. In addition, a link to a non-ASTRA/CFX Web site does not mean that ASTRA/CFX endorses or accepts any responsibility for the content, or the use, of such Web site. It is up to you to take precautions to ensure that whatever you select for your use is free of such items as viruses, worms, Trojan horses and other items of a destructive nature.
