Use of Cookies

The altPath website may use “cookies” to help you personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.

One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize altPath pages, or register with the altPath Site or services, a cookie helps altPath to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. When you return to the same altPath Site, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the altPath features that you customized.

You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the altPath services or Sites you visit.

Use of Chatbots

Our Site may use automated chat features, or “chatbots.” Information collected by a chatbot is used only for the intended purpose stated at the time of collection, such as to answer a specific question. We will only collect the information a user submits as part of a chatbot conversation, along with session information described generally above. We recommend users not submit personal or other sensitive information through the chatbot features.

Links

The Site may contain links to other sites. Please be aware that we are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of such other sites. Any information you share with third parties is governed by their terms and privacy statements. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our Site and to read the privacy statements of any other site that collects personally identifiable information before sharing your information with them.

Security of your Personal Information

We strive to take appropriate security measures to protect against unauthorized access to or alteration of your Personal Information. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet or any wireless network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your Personal Information, there are security and privacy limitations inherent to the Internet which are beyond our control. The security, integrity, and privacy of any and all Personal Information and data exchanged between you and us cannot be guaranteed.
