"Cookies" are small data files transferred by a website to your computer's hard drive. Amount or its service providers send cookies when you surf our Site or websites where Amount ads appear, make purchases, request or personalize information, or register yourself for certain services. Accepting the cookies used on our Site, websites that are "powered by" another company on Amount’s behalf, websites powered by Amount for another company, or websites where our ads appear may give us access to information about your browsing preferences, which we may use to personalize and enhance your experience. Cookies are typically classified as either "session" cookies or "persistent" cookies.

• Session cookies do not stay on your computer after you close your browser.
• Persistent cookies remain on your computer until you delete them or they expire.

Like many companies, we use cookies and other tracking technologies on our Site (referred to together from this point forward as "Cookies", unless otherwise stated) including HTTP cookies, flash cookies, HTML5 and Flash local storage, web beacons/GIFs, embedded scripts, and e-tags/cache browsers.

In most instances, however, a customer may refuse a cookie and still be able to navigate our Site without issue.
Amount may also use cookies or other technologies to collect and store information about your visit to, or use of, our services. This information may help Amount assess the performance of its Site and develop strategies to maximize utility. This information may be provided to other companies, including but not limited to third party advertisers. Unless the customer explicitly consents to share his or her information, such information does NOT include any personally identifiable information. You can control the use of cookies within your web browser.
The following list is an example of cookies that Amount may use on its Site:

• Google Analytics – Web analytics tracking.

The Site uses Google Analytics, which is a web analysis service provided by Google. Google utilizes the data collected to track and examine the use of our Site and may share this data with other Google services.

We will not collect additional categories of personal information or use the personal information we collected for materially different, unrelated, or incompatible purposes without providing you notice.

We reserve the right to share information, including personal information, with third parties as described below:

• With any other third parties with your consent or for our legitimate business purposes.

When we disclose personal information for a business purpose, we enter a contract that describes the purpose and requires the recipient to both keep that personal information confidential and not use it for any purpose except performing the contract.

In the preceding twelve (12) months, we have not sold any personal information.

Amount may keep records of any information and transactions that a customer or potential customer enters into or provides in accordance with Amount’s record retention policies. Amount may keep other information about a customer only to the extent necessary to comply with applicable laws and to further legitimate business needs.

The security of your personal information is important to us. We maintain reasonable physical, technical, and administrative security measures to protect and limit access to your personal information. For example, Personal information is protected by Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts it so that it cannot be read over the Internet. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage technology is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

We use third party advertising and media companies to serve ads on our behalf across the Internet and to help manage and optimize our Internet business and communications. Through the use of cookies, such third party companies may collect anonymous information about your visits to our Site and your interaction with our ads and content. For instance, they may keep track of how many of our ads you have seen on other websites before visiting our Site. This information is used to understand your browsing behavior and interests so that we can identify your needs and provide service that is tailored to you.
The Site may contain links to third party websites that are not owned or controlled by Amount. We have no control over the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third party website. You are subject to the policies of those third party websites, where applicable. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third party websites before you disclose your personal information.

Like many website operators, Amount makes use of standard internet technologies to collect information that a browser sends whenever you visit the Site or perform any activity on the Site ("Log Data"). This Log Data may include information such as your computer Internet Protocol ("IP") address, browser type, browser version, pages of the Site that you visit, the time and date of a visit, the time spent on those pages and other statistics.

We do not currently take actions to respond to "Do Not Track" signals from your browser because a uniform technological standard has not yet been developed. We continue to review new technologies and may adopt a standard once one is created.

For quality assurance purposes, we and our authorized partners may monitor or record all telephone communications.

Amount may update or modify this privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the collection, use and/or sharing of information. This Policy will reflect the date it was last updated. If any material change is made to this Policy, Amount will notify visitors of any changes by posting the new privacy Policy on the Site.
