Some Alchemy Web sites may deposit certain bits of information called "cookies" in a visitor’s computer. Generally, a cookie assigns a unique number to the visitor that has no meaning outside the assigning site. Cookies can tell us how and when pages in a Web site are visited and by how many people. This technology does not collect an individual visitor’s identifying information; rather, this information is collected in an aggregate form. The purpose of this technology and the information it provides is again to help us improve our Web sites. Most Web browsers allow the user to deny or accept the cookie feature.

Only when specifically requested by Web site visitors, for example, when filling out a form will Alchemy collect and use personal information through this Web site. Alchemy collects personal information in limited cases, specifically including, but not limited to, the following cases:

In all cases, we will not authorize them to keep, disclose, or use your information except for the purpose of providing the services for which they have been contracted.
Alchemy will not sell, rent, publish or exchange such personally identifiable information to any other organization or entity unless the user is first notified and expressly agrees to it, or as otherwise required by law. This limitation does not prohibit transfer of information in conjunction with a significant corporate event, such as a merger, sale, dissolution, or acquisition, in which customer information is one of the business assets transferred.
