This website is owned and operated by A Bridge to Achievement. We recognize that many visitors to our website are concerned about the information that they provide to us or that may be collected, and how we treat that information. In order to address those concerns, we have developed this Website Privacy Statement.
Types of Information Collected
Through our website, we may collect both personally identifiable information and non-personal information. Personally identifiable information relates to an individual consumer (for example, their name, address, telephone number, email address, etc.). We don’t require you to provide this information to us in order to view our website or have access to its content. We may, however, collect personally identifiable information if you purchase merchandise or request referrals through this website. If you voluntarily request a referral for services, we may collect Personal Health Information as that term is defined in the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”). Non-personal information includes such things as how many consumers visit the website, which pages they access, the information they download, the type of browser and operating systems used, the name of the internet service provider (such as MSN), and other information of this general type. When you visit our website we will automatically collect non-personal information, and combine it with similar information collected about all other visitors to the website. By collecting this information we learn how best to develop our website to meet the needs and desires of our customers and visitors.
Methods of Information Collection
Only non-personal information is collected from people who just visit this website. Visitors who purchase goods through this website or sign up for our mailing list will be asked to provide personally identifiable information. Also, when you send an email to A Bridge to Achievement we will collect the email address you provide. Without doing this, we would not be able to respond to your email.

We may also use it to assist in the delivery of content that is customized to your interests. We do not collect personal information on an automatic basis, but we may combine non-personal information (which is automatically collected) with your previously submitted personally identifiable information. If you specifically agree to follow-up contact by A Bridge to Achievement, or if you ask to be placed on mailing lists that our website may maintain, we may contact you if necessary during the course of processing a product or service you requested through our website.
We keep any Personal Health Information confidential in accordance with the requirements of HIPAA. We do not sell or rent your name, address, e-mail address, or other personal information to anyone. We do not disclose your information to anyone without your consent, except (1) as necessary to comply with applicable laws or legal processes, (2) to protect our rights or property, (3) to enforce our terms of service, or (4) to a third party providing services to us or to assist us in offering products and services to you, and then only if the third party agrees to safeguard and keep confidential your Personal Information.
