   a. Suppliers and Other Service Providers.We may use third party vendors to perform functions on our behalf or to facilitate our services, and may occasionally allow access to our systems to third parties providing necessary technical services. These parties will have access to personally identifiable information needed to perform their functions, but may not use it for other purposes.
   
   b. Transactions with Affiliated Third Parties. Occasionally, Affiliated Third Parties, through TeachAde and under TeachAde’s control, may make available to users of the Site, either through your use of the Site or through your e-mail address (as further specified below), newsletters, special offers and promotions or seek to provide you with access to products, services, tools or other activities.

It is important that you familiarize yourself with such policies before disclosing sensitive personal or financial information.

AEV will not use, and will not provide or make available to any Affiliated Third Party, your email address in order to announce or conduct an online survey or poll. If you elect to participate, you will be asked for your opinions on various issues, and occasionally you may be asked to provide demographic information such as your zip code, age or gender. By choosing to participate, you agree that any information you provide as a part of such survey or poll may be shared with Affiliated Third Parties, including market-research firms or the third parties with whom we are conducting the survey or poll, and the information collected will not be subject to the Privacy Policy, but instead will be used, stored and disclosed in the manner advised during such survey or poll, the terms and conditions of which shall supersede the Privacy Policy.

A cookie is a string of information that is anonymously sent by a web site and stored on your hard drive or temporarily in your computer's memory. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you. We do not share or sell non-aggregated information contained within cookies with any third party. We may use the information from such cookies regarding your activities on the Sites and other non-personally identifiable information about you to target or limit the online ads or offers you encounter while navigating the Site to those we believe are consistent with your interests.

AEV is not responsible or liable for the content on these other web sites, and your use of these sites is subject to their own terms of use and privacy policies. You should consult the terms of use and privacy policies at those sites to determine how your information may be used.
