Website Visitors

Like most website operators, AWI collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. AWI’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how AWI’s visitors use its website. From time to time, AWI may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

AWI also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on ams.gg blogs/sites.

Aggregated Statistics

AWI may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. AWI may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, AWI does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.

Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information

AWI discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on AWI’s behalf or to provide services available at AWI’s websites, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using AWI’s websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. AWI will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, AWI discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when AWI believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of AWI, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of an AWI website and have supplied your email address, AWI may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with AWI and our products. If you send us a request (for example via email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. AWI takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.

Data such as passwords are encrypted and stored in our database and cannot be viewed by anyone.

Transactions are handled securely through our payment gateway provider, PayPal.

How long we retain your data

We generally store information about you for as long as we need the information for the purposes for which we collect and use it, and we are not legally required to continue to keep it. For example, we will store order information for 10 years for tax and accounting purposes. This includes your name, email address and billing and shipping addresses.

We will also store comments or reviews, if you choose to leave them.

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
