Cookies and Passive Information
We sometimes collect non-identifiable information from
visits to our Web sites to help us provide better customer service. For
example, we keep track of the domains from which people visit, and we
also measure visitor activity on All Star Software Systems Web sites,
but we do so in ways that keep the information non-identifiable. This
information is sometimes known as "clickstream data" or passive
information. All Star Software Systems or others on All Star Software
Systems behalf may use this data to analyze trends and statistics and
to help us provide better customer service.
Also, when we collect personal data from
you in a transaction, we may extract some information about that transaction
in a non-identifiable format and combine it with other non-identifiable
information such as clickstream data. This information is used and analyzed
only at an aggregate level to help us understand trends and patterns.
This information is not reviewed at an individual level. If you do not
want your transaction details used in this manner you can disable your
cookies.
We may collect the information we mentioned
in the previous paragraphs through the use of various technologies, including
one called "cookies". A cookie is a piece of data that a Web
site can send to your browser, which may then be stored on your computer
as an anonymous tag that identifies your computer but not you. Some All
Star Software Systems pages use cookies, sent by All Star Software Systems
or its third party vendors, or other technologies to better serve you
when you return to the Web site. You can set your browser to notify you
before you receive a cookie, giving you the chance to decide whether to
accept it. You can also set your browser to turn off cookies. If you do
so, however, some Web sites may not work properly.
Cookies are a feature of web browser
(Internet Explorer, Netscape Navigator, etc.) software that allows web
servers to recognize the computer used to access a site. They are small
pieces of data that are stored by a user's web browser on one site to
simplify subsequent interactions with that site by the same user or to
use the information to streamline the user's transaction on related web
pages. This makes it easier for a user to move from site to site and to
complete transactions over the Internet. Cookies should make your online
experience easier and more personalized.

Service Quality Monitoring
Certain Web transactions may also involve you calling us or our calling
you. Please be aware that it is All Star Software Systems general practice
to monitor and in some cases record such calls for staff training or quality
assurance purposes.
