PRIVACY POLICY:
The privacy policy for A.W.S. Distributing, Inc. is as follows:


A.W.S. Distributing, Inc. Internet Privacy Policy
A.W.S. Distributing, Inc. ("AWS") respects your right to privacy. This policy summarizes what personally identifiable
information we may collect, and how we might use this information. This policy also describes other important topics
relating to your privacy.

It is AWS policy to comply with all applicable privacy and data protection laws. This commitment reflects the value we place
on earning and keeping the trust of our employees, customers, business partners and others who share their personal
information with us.
This Global Internet Privacy Policy (this “Policy”) describes how AWS protects your privacy when we collect personal
information on AWS Internet sites. As used in this Policy, the term “personal information” means information that identifies
you personally, alone or in combination with other information available to us.
This Policy applies, in general, to all Internet sites operated by or on behalf of AWS.

Your Consent
By using a AWS Internet Site or providing personal information to us, you are consenting to the collection, use and
disclosure of your personal information as described in this Policy and any applicable Country or Web Site Privacy
Statements.
If you do not consent to the collection, use and disclosure of your personal information as described in this Policy (and any
applicable Country or Web Site Privacy Statements), do not use AWS Internet Sites.

Limitations on the Collection, Use and Disclosure of Personal Information
To the extent required by applicable law, whenever AWS collects personal information on a AWS Internet Site, AWS will:
• provide timely and appropriate notice to you about its data practices;

• collect, use, disclose and transfer your personal information only with your consent, which may be express or implied,
depending on the sensitivity of the personal information, legal requirements, and other factors;

• collect your personal information only for specific, limited purposes. The information we collect will be relevant, adequate
and not excessive for the purposes for which it is collected;

• process your personal information in a manner consistent with the purposes for which it was originally collected or to
which you have subsequently consented;

• take commercially reasonable steps to ensure that your personal information is reliable for its intended use, accurate,
complete, and, where necessary, kept up-to-date;

• not use your personal information for direct marketing purposes without giving you an opportunity to “opt-out”; and

• take appropriate measures, by contract or otherwise, to provide adequate protection for personal information that is
disclosed to a third party or transferred to another country.

Information Collected on AWS Internet Site and How It May Be Used
When you access and use an AWS Internet Site, there are 3 ways we may collect information about you:
1. Information Sent to Us by Your Web Browser
AWS collects information that is sent to us automatically by your web browser. This information typically includes the IP
address of your Internet service provider, the name of your operating system (such as Macintosh® or Windows®) and the
name and version of your browser (such as Internet Explorer® or Netscape®). The information we receive depends on the
settings on your web browser. Please check your browser if you want to learn what information your browser sends or how
to change your settings.
The information provided by your browser does not identify you personally. We use this information to create statistics that
help us improve our sites and make them more compatible with the technology used by our Internet visitors.
2. Information Collected By Placing a “Cookie” On Your Computer
AWS may obtain information about you by installing a “tag” on your computer’s hard drive. This tag is known as a “cookie.”
The AWS  Internet Site may use “session cookies.” A session cookie is used to tag your computer with a computer-
generated, unique identifier when you access our site. A session cookie does not identify you personally and expires after
you close your browser. We use session cookies to collect statistical information about the ways visitors use our sites –
which pages they visit, which links they use, and how long they stay on each page. We analyze this information (known as
“clickstream data”) in statistical form to better understand our visitors’ interests and needs to improve the content and
functionality of our sites.
The AWS  Internet site may also use “persistent cookies.” These cookies do not expire when you close your browser; they
stay on your computer until you delete them. By assigning your computer a unique identifier, we are able to create a
database of your previous choices and preferences, and in situations where these choices or preferences need to be
collected again, they can be provided by us automatically, saving you time and effort. For example, after you make a
purchase, if you decide to make another purchase, your shipping address will have been retained and will only need to be
confirmed. If the AWS Internet Site uses “persistent cookies” we will notify you in the Privacy Statement posted on that site.
If you do not wish to receive cookies, you may set your browser to reject cookies or to alert you when a cookie is placed on
your computer. Although you are not required to accept cookies when you visit an AWS Internet Site, you may be unable to
use all of the functionality of the site if your browser rejects our cookies.
3. Information You Knowingly and Voluntarily Provide
AWS collects the information you knowingly and voluntarily provide when you use a AWS Internet Site, for example, the
information you provide when you sign up to receive email alerts, when you complete a survey, or when you ask us a
question or email us with feedback. In many cases this information will be personal information. AWS uses this information
for the purposes for which you provide it. For example, if you provide your e-mail address when you sign up to receive e-mail
alerts, we use your e-mail address to deliver the e-mail alerts you request.
We may also use the information we collect on AWS Internet Sites for various business purposes such as customer
service, fraud prevention, market research, improving our products and services, and providing you and your company with
information and offers we believe may be of interest to you. We may also remove all the personally identifiable information
and use the rest for historical, statistical or scientific purposes.
The AWS Internet Site permits you to make choices about the use of your personal information. In most cases, we ask you
to indicate your choices at the time and on the page where you provide your personal information.


Sharing Personal Information
AWS will not sell personal information collected from its Internet site to mailing list brokers without your express consent.
AWS may share your personal information with third parties we hire to perform support services for us. These third parties
are required to use the personal information we share with them only to perform services on our behalf and to treat your
personal information as strictly confidential.
In some cases, AWS may share your personal information with third parties who partner with us to provide products and
services to our customers. When we do so, we will require our business partners to use the personal information we share
with them in a manner consistent with the purposes for which it was originally collected (or to which you subsequently
consented) and only as permitted under this Policy, any applicable Country or Web Site Privacy Statements, and all
applicable privacy and data protection laws.
In certain, limited circumstances we may share or transfer personal information to unrelated third parties. For example, we
may provide personal information to a third party (i) at your request; (ii) to comply with a legal requirement or court order; (iii)
to investigate a possible crime, such as identity theft; (iv) in connection with the sale, purchase, merger, reorganization,
liquidation or dissolution of AWS or; (v) under similar circumstances. If such an event occurs, we will take appropriate steps
to protect your personal information.
The AWS Internet Site permits you to make choices about the disclosure and/or transfer of your personal information. In
most cases, we ask you to indicate your choices at the time and on the page where you provide your personal information.  

Security of Personal Information
Your personal information will generally be stored in AWS databases or databases maintained by our service providers.
Most of these databases are stored on servers located in the United States. To the extent required by law, if your personal
information will be transferred outside your country an appropriate notice will be provided.
AWS maintains reasonable safeguards to protect the confidentiality, security and integrity of your personal information. For
example, we use secure socket layer (SSL) technology to transfer personal information over the Internet. Although we use
security measures to help protect your personal information against unauthorized disclosure, misuse or alteration, as is the
case with all computer networks linked to the Internet, we cannot guarantee the security of information provided over the
Internet and will not be responsible for breaches of security beyond our reasonable control.

Links to Third Party Internet Sites
The AWS Internet Site may contain links to Internet sites that are not operated by AWS. These links are provided as a
service and do not imply any endorsement of the activities or content of these sites, nor any association with their
operators. AWS does not control these Internet sites and is not responsible for their content, security, or privacy practices.
We urge you to review the privacy policy posted on web sites you visit before using the site or providing personal
information.

You may review, correct and update the personal information that you provide to us at the AWS Internet Site by writing to us

Retention of Personal Information
AWS retains the personal information collected on the AWS Internet Site as long as necessary to provide the services,
products and information you request or as permitted by applicable law.

Children and Parents
The AWS Internet Site is generally not intended for persons under 13 years of age. AWS does not knowingly solicit or collect
personal information from or about children on its Internet Sites except as permitted under applicable law. If your child has
submitted personal information and you would like to request that such information be deleted from our records, you may
do so by writing to us at AWS Distributing, Inc. 30W260 Butterfield Rd. Suite #211 Warrenville, IL 60555.

Statements, at any time and without prior notice, by posting the revised Privacy Statement on the applicable AWS Internet
