Disclaimer
AAMI is providing information and services on the Internet as a benefit to AAMI website visitors, both members and the general public. AAMI makes no representations about the suitability, accuracy or completeness of this information and these services for any purpose.
Privacy Policy
AAMI respects the privacy of every individual who uses this website. This Privacy Policy outlines the information that AAMI will collect and how we will use that information. Therefore, please read it carefully.
Use of Personally Identifiable Information
When you visit this website, we will not collect any personally identifiable information about you (such as your name, address, telephone number, billing and shipping information, credit card information or e-mail address) unless you provide it to us voluntarily. If you opt not to provide us with this information, no material consequences will result, although you may be unable to receive certain information, or participate in certain transactions through this website. Parties wishing to participate in any transactions through this website are required to provide AAMI with a variety of necessary and personally identifiable information.
AAMI may store and process your personally identifiable information to better understand your needs and how we may improve our services, and we may use your personally identifiable information to contact you (for example, we may send you information on the organization, we may respond to your comments, or we may contact you if needed in the course of processing your requests). In some limited cases, we may share the data you provide with a third party in order to engage in (on AAMI's behalf) any of the activities listed above. However, AAMI does not generally provide or release names or e-mail addresses of site visitors to any third party without the visitor's explicit permission. Personally identifiable information provided by a site visitor, such as survey information and/or site registrations are used for AAMI's internal use only and are not shared with other persons or organizations for commercial purposes. Note that nothing in this Privacy Policy shall be deemed to prohibit AAMI from disclosing your identity if AAMI is required to do so by law.
Security
AAMI will make reasonable efforts to keep secure the data you provide us and will take reasonable precautions in an effort to protect your personally identifiable information from loss, misuse or alteration. Further, AAMI cares about the safety and security of credit card transactions. This site uses high-grade encryption and the https security protocol to communicate with browser software. This method is the industry standard security protocol, which makes it extremely difficult for anyone else to intercept the credit card information sent via the Internet. Messages sent to AAMI by e-mail may not be secure. Do not send confidential information to AAMI via e-mail. If you prefer to order by phone, call 1-877-249-8226.
Non Personally Identifiable Information Collected Automatically
In some cases, we may collect information about you that is not personally identifiable. Examples of this type of information include the type of Internet browser or computer system you are using and the domain name of the website from which you linked to our site or general demographics. In addition, when you view our website, we may store some information on your computer. This information will be in the form of a "cookie" or similar file and will help us in many ways. For example, cookies allow us to tailor our Web site to shape and direct the creation and maintenance of content, as well as determine the information to be seen by site visitors while visiting the AAMI website. Most Internet browsers enable you to erase cookies from your computer hard drive, block all cookies, or receive a warning before a cookie is stored. Please refer to your browser instructions or help screen to learn more about these functions. Please note that you may be unable to access certain areas of the members only and my.aami.org portions of the site if you have disabled cookies on your browser. Also note that AAMI makes no attempt to link information collected automatically to previously submitted personally identifiable information.
Limitation of Liability
Neither AAMI nor any of its subsidiaries or affiliated entities, agents, employees, or subcontractors shall be liable for any direct, indirect, special, incidental, consequential, punitive, or exemplary damages, including lost profits (even if we are advised of the possibility) arising in any way from the information contained in this website or any information transmitted via this website. AAMI is not liable for any damages or losses that may be caused to any equipment and other software due to any viruses, defects, or malfunctions in connection with access or use of this website.
