The following statement has been developed to demonstrate
our commitment to your privacy. This statement discloses the
information gathering and dissemination practices for AIM
Inc.'s web sites.
Overview
AIM Inc. collects personally identifiable information (name,
e-mail address, etc.) and demographic data (zip code, gender,
interests, etc.) that you submit when you: 1) register for
our services, 2) complete a survey, 3) register for a promotion,
contest, or sweepstakes, or 4) make a purchase from our online
store. We use this information to process and maintain your
account, compile demographic statistics about our users, and
display to you information and advertisements that match your
interests and profile. We will not sell, barter, or otherwise
give your personally identifiable information to a third party
except to:
AIM Corporate Members for the purpose of providing products
or services selected by you
Sponsors/co-sponsors of special promotions, contests, and
sweepstakes clearly identified when you register for such
promotions
Credit card information will be provided to third parties
only to provide products and services that you order. We also
may use the e-mail address you provide to contact you about
your account and to notify you about updates and changes to
our services. We will not provide your e-mail address to unaffiliated
third parties, and we will give you the right to tell us not
to send you unsolicited e-mail regarding any commercial offers.
As part of the registration process, you have the option to
inform us that you do not wish to receive information from
AIM Inc. about other special offers and promotions.
IP Addresses and Cookies
AIM Inc. uses IP addresses (random numbers assigned to individual
computers) to help diagnose problems with our servers, administer
our web site, and anonymously track content preferences and
traffic patterns. We also use cookies (small text files transferred
from our Web site to your hard drive) to recognize repeat
users, track usage behavior, and facilitate your access to
and use of our site. Cookies do not damage files or allow
anyone to access your personally identifiable information
- they simply allow us to tailor information and advertisements
to make your visits more enjoyable and meaningful. They also
provide information to us about site usage to help us improve
and update our site. We may share aggregate (not individual)
site usage statistics and demographic information with advertisers
and other third parties, but this information will not include
any personally identifiable information.
Security and Links
The security of the information you provide to AIM Inc. is
important to us. We use encryption software and other security
measures to protect against the loss, misuse, and alteration
of the information under our control. However, AIM Inc.'s
site includes links to other sites, and when you choose to
visit those sites, we are not responsible for their privacy
policies or how they treat user information. In addition,
we may permit third parties to offer registration-based services
through our site. We are not responsible for the actions and
policies of these third parties, and you should review the
privacy policies of these parties when supplying personally
identifiable information to them.
Additional Information
AIM Inc. reserves the right to alter our Privacy Policy as
business needs require. Any changes will be posted to our
web site in a timely manner. This statement and the policies
outlined here are not intended to and do not give you any
contractual or other legal rights.
If you have questions about this policy, please e-mail us.
