be disclosed to a non-Agent third party, or (b) to be used for a purpose other than the purpose for which it was originally
collected or subsequently authorized by the individual.
For Sensitive Personal information, ALO NY will give individuals the opportunity to affirmatively and explicitly consent
(opt-in) to the disclosure of the information to a non-Agent third party or the use of the information for a purpose other
than the purpose for which it was originally collected or subsequently authorized by the individual.

IV. DISPUTE RESOLUTION
ALO NY sees the Internet, intranets and the use of other technologies as valuable tools for communicating and interacting

privacy of Personal information collected through websites that it operates. ALO NY' sole purpose for operating its websites
is to provide information concerning products and services to the public. In general, visitors can reach ALO NY on the Web

provide Personal information by filling out and submitting online questionnaires concerning feedback on the website,
requesting information on products or services, or seeking employment. The Personal information voluntarily provided by
website users is contact information limited to the user's name, home and/or business address, phone numbers and email
address. ALO NY collects this information so it may answer questions and forward requested information. ALO NY does not
sell this information.
ALO NY may also collect anonymous information concerning website users through the use of "cookies" in order to provide
better customer service. "Cookies" are small files that websites place on users' computers to identify the user and enhance
the website experience. Company personnel periodically audit ALO NY’ commercial websites to determine what cookies are used
on each. The cookies used are typically not intrusive and are not typically connected to visitors’ contact or other
identifiable information. Visitors may set their browsers to provide notice before they receive a cookie, giving the
opportunity to decide whether to accept the cookie. Visitors can also set their browsers to turn off cookies.
