Security Statement: What does ADI do to protect the information I provide?
ADI provides three levels of protection. First, access to the servers that store your information is limited to those ADI employees and third parties with a need to know the information. Second, ADI servers use commercially-available security measures to prevent unauthorized access. Finally, when you purchase ADI products through our Web site, ADI will take reasonable steps to establish a secure connection to your Web browser.

While ADI will continue to exercise diligence and use reasonable measures to protect the security of this Site, ADI cannot warrant that all internet communications will be absolutely secure.
ADI is committed to the responsible use of the World Wide Web. ADI reserves the right to change or amend this policy from time to time, but will post any such changes as part of its privacy and security statement on this Site.
