For site security purposes and to ensure that this service remains available to all users, the web site may employ software programs to monitor network traffic to identify unauthorized attempts to upload or change information, or otherwise cause damage.

What We Collect If You Volunteer Information

If during your visit to our web site you purchase products, participate in a survey, send a message, participate in a Site hosted mailing list or web-based discussion, or perform some other transaction on our site, the following additional information will be collected:

• Information about products and services purchased.
• The e-mail address, and contents of the e-mail, for those who communicate with us via e-mail or who participate in a Site hosted mailing list or web-based discussion.

We may use your e-mail address to respond to you. Online discussion lists or "threads" are maintained and controlled in the site. Information provided for a transaction is used only for the purpose of completing and recording the transaction. Information requested will be no more specific than if a visitor were engaging in the transaction by other means, including by telephone or in-person while visiting a AIM facility. In all cases, AIM strives to collect the minimum information necessary.

This applies to information that may be collected on the site and on that of any third party with whom AIM contracts to provide Internet related services.

Personal Information and Choice

You may choose whether to provide personal information online.

"Personal information" is information about a natural person that is readily identifiable to that specific individual. Personal information includes such things as an individual's name, address, and phone number. A domain name or Internet Protocol address is not considered personal information.

We collect no personal information about you unless you voluntarily provide it to us by sending us e-mail, participating in a survey, completing an online form, or engaging in an online transaction. You may choose not to contact us by e-mail, participate in a survey, provide personal information using an online form, or engage in an electronic transaction. However, some information available through this site is specific to individual users. Visitors interested in viewing this user specific information are requested to sign up for a password-protected account. Your choice to not participate in these activities will not impair your ability to browse, read, or download general information provided on the site. Information protected on this site by a password, which is subject to disclosure, may be obtained by contacting the company directly.

If you believe that your personal information is being used for a purpose other than what was intended when submitted, you may contact aim@aimusa.com.
