Amherst Holdings LLC currently does NOT collect personally identifying information via its Web site.

 

Amherst Holdings LLC collects IP addresses for the purposes of system administration and traffic monitoring.

 

An IP address is a number that's automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are connected to the Internet. Our Web server automatically identifies your computer by its IP address. 

 

When you request pages from www.amherstholdings.com, our server logs your IP addresses. We do not link IP addresses to anything personally identifiable with the exception of the portions of the web site that require you to enter a user name and password. With the exception of the password protected areas, this means that your session will be logged, but you remain anonymous to us.

 

If you are a registered user and you use our online fixed-income analytical softare, it is sometimes necessary to read and write to your hard drive. In order to use this software, you would have signed up with your Amherst representative via phone, mail or email. You would have been assigned a user name and a password. You would have to install WinFrame software that we sent you or that you downloaded from our Web site.

 

When you run the Amherst programs, the system will attempt to create a c:\SPIRES and/or C:\ASG sub-directory on your hard drive. It is within this sub-directory that the Amherst programs will allow you to save any custom files you create on our system. If you run the web version of our software, you will be prompted to give our programs permission to access your hard drive. If you do not give your permission, the programs will still work, but you will not be able to save and then later re-load custom files such as Bond Scan Queries. 

 

Amherst Holdings LLC does not read or write any other data to your hard drive. 

 

Cookies are pieces of information that our server transfers to your hard drive for record-keeping purposes. Cookies make Web-surfing easier for you by saving your passwords and preferences while you're at our site. The use of cookies is an industry standard—you'll find them at most major Web sites. 

 

By showing how and when you use our site, cookies help us see which areas are popular and which are not. Many improvements and updates to the site are based on such data as total number of visitors and pages viewed. This information is most easily tracked with cookies. 

 

Amherst Holdings LLC never uses cookies to retrieve information from your computer that was not originally sent in a cookie. Amherst Securities Group LP does not use information transferred through cookies for any promotional or marketing purposes, nor is that information shared with any third parties whatsoever. 

 

Amherst Holdings LLC does not use cookies to identify specific individuals with the exception of the password protected areas. 

 

You may occasionally get cookies from our advertisers or other content providers. Amherst Holdings LLC does not control these cookies, and these cookies are not subject to the www.asglp.com or www.amherstsecurities.com cookies policy. The use of advertising cookies sent by third-party servers is standard in the Internet industry.

 

Most browsers are initially set to accept cookies. If you'd prefer, you can set yours to refuse cookies or to alert you when cookies are being sent. However, it is possible that some parts of the site, like the shopping areas, will not function properly if you do so.
