0. General |

prospective business partners, current and prospective clients, and other interested organisations
and individuals active in all relevant fields of international engineering and management consulting.
This policy is intended to explain how information from users at any time is collected, what it is
collected for, and what choices users may have. ANTS Inc web site (the Site) also provides links
to other sites that may be of interest to users. These sites are provided as a convenience and are

1. Means of Data Collection |
The following are the main means of collecting data:
(a) Registration screens and online forms;
(b) User messages sent to ANTS Inc;
(c) Interactive discussions and public forums;
(d) Automated means such as communications protocols and cookies (defined as small pieces of
information sent by web servers to store on a web browser so that they can later be read back from browsers).
ANTS Inc may receive data from users as part of the communication connection itself - the
standard electronic greeting between user's computer, the network and the linked servers. This
information often consists of network routing, equipment information (browser type), date and time. Currently,
cookies are not sent out, and therefore, user computers are not queried to see if there are cookies previously
set by ANTS Inc. As the Site is further customised, cookies may have to be used in assuring that information
provided will be the most relevant to user needs. Such changes in the implementation policy and methodology
will always be noted on this page.
Note: Web browsers provide information and control over cookies. Web browsers can be set to alert users
when cookies are being used. They can also get information on the duration of cookies, and what servers
the information is being returned to. Users then have the opportunity to accept or reject cookies (browsers
can be preset to refuse all cookies or accept only cookies returned to the originating servers). Users may
generally disable the cookie feature on their browsers without affecting their ability to use the site, except
in some cases where cookies are used as an essential security feature necessary for
transaction completion. |

(e) specific information described and requested by ANTS Inc in other sections of the Site;

access to that information. |

5. Policy Updates |
ANTS Inc makes no independent use of the collected information
outside of what is needed to manage the Site, and to support or to complete specific actions requested
by the user. If any personally identifiable information is needed to be used in a manner different from
that stated at the time of collection, the revised terms of use for the newly defined implementation will
be announced in relevant sections of this Site and interested users will be invited to forward some or all
of that information again.

that do not affect user information already collected, a prominent notice will be posted on this web Site
notifying users of the change. This policy may be updated from time to time to describe how new site
features affect use of user information and to announce new control and preference features that
