    • Categories of personal information we disclose: We may disclose any of the categories of personal information listed above and use them for the above-listed purposes or for other business or operational purposes compatible with the context in which the personal information was collected.

    • Withdraw that consent at any time if we have collected personal information with your consent.

    • Request from us access to information held about you.

    • Request that we correct the personal information we hold about you if it is inaccurate or incomplete.

    • Request that we provide your personal information to you in a format that can be transferred to another entity.

    • Request that, in certain circumstances, we limit our processing of your personal information if you are contesting the accuracy of your personal information; asserting that our processing is unlawful; asserting that we need to keep the information for reasons related to the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, or you object to our processing.

We ensure that transfers of personal information to a third country or an international organization are subject to appropriate safeguards as described in Article 46 of the GDPR.

Special Information for Nevada Residents: Residents of the State of Nevada have the right to opt out of the sale of certain pieces of their information to third parties who will sell or license their information to others. At this time, ASG does not engage in such sales. If you are a Nevada resident and would like more information about our data sharing practices, please email [email protected].

Your Options to Control Your Personal Information

Verification Procedures: We must verify your identity for everyone’s protection, so we may require you to provide us with verification information prior to accessing any records containing personal information about you. We do this by asking you to provide personal identifiers we can match against information we may have collected from you previously and confirm your request using the email or telephone account stated in the request.

If you are a California resident, you may authorize another individual or a business registered with the California Secretary of State, called an authorized agent, to make requests on your behalf. We will require the authorized agent and you to each verify your identities.

We will use the information you provide for verification only for the purpose of verification. We may have a reason under the law why we do not have to respond to your request, or respond to it in a more limited way than you anticipated. If we do, we will explain that to you in our response.

Do Not Track: Your browser or device may include “Do Not Track” functionality. At this time, ASG does not respond to browser “Do Not Track” signals.
