We have created this page so that you know what information we collect from you and what we do with it.

Privacy Policy
ASBC respects and protects the privacy of the individuals that use ASBC ’s Web Site (“Site”). Our success is based upon being able to provide superior services and in building long-term trust-based relationships with our members. Individually identifiable information about you is not willfully disclosed to any third party without first receiving your permission, as explained in this privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”).

ASBC and Cookies
Every computer on the Internet is identified by a unique number called an Internet Protocol (IP) address. Each time you connect to the Internet, your machine is assigned an IP address. We may use your IP address to help diagnose problems with the Site, more efficiently administer the Site and better tailor our Site to your needs, and analyze trends by gathering broad demographic information.
Upon your first visit to ASBC , ASBC may send a “cookie” to your computer. A cookie is a piece of data that identifies you as a unique user. ASBC uses cookies to improve the quality of our service and to further understand our user base. ASBC does this by storing user preferences. ASBC will not disclose its cookies to third parties except as required by a valid legal process such as a search warrant, subpoena, statute, or court order. Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. You can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. Be aware, however, that some parts of the ASBC Site may not function properly if you refuse cookies.

What Information Do We Collect?
ASBC does not collect any unique information about you (such as your name, email address, etc.) except when you specifically and knowingly provide such information. ASBC may save information such as time of day, browser type, browser language, and IP address with each query. That information is used to verify our records and to provide more relevant services to users and to make the Site easier for you to use by not having to enter information more than once.
