This policy does not apply to our partners,
advertisers or any other web site that may be connected, in any

Third party advertising
We may use third-party advertising companies to serve
ads when you visit our Web site. These companies may use
information (which will never include your name, address,
email address or telephone number) about your visits to
this and other Web sites solely in order to provide
advertisements on this site and other sites about goods and
services that may be of interest to you.
Some of these advertisers have the ability to deposit

to limit the number of times a particular banner is shown
to you. The information collected from these cookies is not

Our site's registration form requires
users to give us and our recommended schools contact

age).
While we have no control over the use of
this information by our recommended schools, the contact
information from the registration forms supplied to ABT is
used only to provide information about our company. The
customer's contact information may also be used to send
promotional material about some of our partners to our
customers, and to get in touch with the customer when
necessary.
Users may opt-out of receiving future
mailings from ABT. Please see the choice/opt-out section

Special Note on our Spanish Language
Website Directory
In order to submit a website for listing in our
directory (The Spanish
Language Website Directory), we ask you to give us
certain personal information (e.g. name and email address).
We use such information only in connection with the
provision of the website directory, and do not use it for
marketing purposes. We do not share your information with
any outside companies.
Children's Guidelines
We care about children and understand
that they have special privacy needs. Therefore, we have
adopted the following privacy policy regarding
children:
- We will NOT collect, use, or distribute to third
parties personally identifiable information without
prior verifiable parental consent.
- We will NOT give the child access to unmonitored
chat rooms, message boards, email accounts, or other
services that would give the child the ability to
publicly post or otherwise distribute personally
identifiable information without prior verifiable
parental consent
-
When verifiable parental consent is not obtained,
we will only use the online contact information
(such as email) to:
- Respond directly to the child's request on
a one-time basis and not use that information
to re-contact the child for other
purposes.
- Request the name or online contact
information of a parent for the purpose of
obtaining verifiable parental consent or
providing parental notification.
- Respond more than once directly to a
specific request from a child (such as in the
case where a child requests a newsletter
subscription) and the information gathered from
this request will not be used to re-contact the
child for other purposes. We will use our best
efforts to provide parental notification, which
will include the nature and intended use as
well as an opportunity for the parent to
prevent the use of the information and
participation in the activity.
- We will NOT entice the child to divulge more
information than is needed to participate in any
activity, game, or service.
- We will provide the parent a description of the
specific types of personally identifiable information
collected from their child upon request. We will allow
the parent to refuse further use or future online
collection of personally identifiable information and
provide a way for a parent to obtain any personally
identifiable information collected from their
child.
- We will provide notice to children in age
appropriate terms of what personally identifiable
information is to be collected.
- We will NOT provide any links to Web sites that are
unsuitable for children.
- We will encourage children to get their parent's
permission before sharing personal information
online.
