Information Collection
AAM collects personal information
in order to deliver a superior level of customer service. In order to
facilitate online transactions and allow user access to Members-Only features, AAM
collects certain information such as names, addresses, membership IDS, and
credit card numbers. In addition, your personal information helps us to keep
you posted on the latest meetings, products, and events that you might like to
hear about.
The AAM Web site requires you to
provide personally identifiable information in order to use certain functions
of the site. By providing such information, you consent to AAM’s collection and
use of it, as described in this Privacy Statement.
The information you provide may
include information collected during the registration process, including
contact information (name, address, phone number, e-mail address) and financial
information (credit card number). This information will be used to process your
order and, if necessary, to contact you regarding the status of your order.
AAM will not ask your permission
to collect or use aggregate information about Web site visitors or users of our
products and services, since aggregate data does not identify you as a specific
individual.

seriously. Be assured that AAM does not sell or rent your e-mail address to
other companies without prior communication. To help us provide superior
service, we may share personal information with credit card processing
companies, merchants, and any other third party that may need the information
for your request to be processed. These organizations have their own privacy
and collection practices, and AAM is not responsible for their independent policies.
At times we may be required by law or litigation to disclose your personal
information. We may also disclose information about you if we determine that
for national security, law enforcement, or other issues of public importance,
disclosure is necessary.
