Privacy Policy
Introduction
At Astir, our primary concern is maintaining our relationship with our customers.
We are committed to securing our customers’ data and ensure its’ confidentiality.
This Privacy Policy will explain exactly what type of information is collected from
our customers and how it is used. Henceforth, “we,” “us” and “our” will refer to
Astir, and “you” and “your” shall refer to the customer.
Information We Collect
At any time, you may visit our websites anonymously and learn about the services
Astir offers.
We collect two general types of information, namely personal information and aggregate
data. As used in this Policy, the term “personal information” means information
that specifically identifies an individual (such as a name and email address), and
demographic and other information when directly linked to information that can identify
an individual. Our definition of personal information does not include “aggregate”
data.
Aggregate data is information we collect about a group or category of services or
users from which user identities have been removed. In other words, no personal
information is included in aggregate data. Aggregate data helps us understand trends
in our users’ needs so that we can better consider new features or otherwise tailor
our services. This policy in no way restricts or limits our collection and use of
aggregate data, and we may share aggregate data about our users with third parties
for various purposes, including to help us better understand our customer needs
and improve our services and for advertising and marketing purposes.
When visiting our sites, you may be given the opportunity to provide certain identifying
information in order to request downloadable information; or request a point of

address, telephone number, and title. Providing this information is completely optional.

to contact you via the methods you have provided. If you have provided this information
and further decide you do not wish to be contacted; or have provided it mistakenly,
