Statement of Privacy 

IAAM believes in protecting the privacy of its website visitors. Our Statement of Privacy applies to the IAAM site data collection and usage. By using the IAAM site, you consent to the data practices described in this statement.

Collection of your Personal Information

IAAM may gather personally identifiable information, such as your name, email address, home or work address, or telephone number. IAAM also collects anonymous demographic information, which is not unique to you, such as your ZIP code, age, gender, preferences, interests, and favorites.

There is also information about your computer hardware and software that is automatically collected by IAAM. This information can include your IP address, browser type, domain names, access times, and referring website addresses. This information is used by IAAM for the operation of the service, to maintain the quality of the service, and to provide general statistics regarding the use of the IAAM site.

Please keep in mind that if you directly disclose personally identifiable information or personally sensitive data through IAAM public message boards, this information may be collected and used by others. Note: IAAM does not read any of your private online communications.

IAAM encourages you to review the privacy statements of Web sites you choose to link to from IAAM so that you can understand how those Web sites collect, use and share your information. IAAM is not responsible for the privacy statements or other content on Web sites outside of the IAAM and IAAM family of Web sites.

Use of your Personal Information

IAAM collects and uses your personal information to operate the IAAM Web site and deliver the services you have requested. IAAM also uses your personally identifiable information to inform you of other products or services available from IAAM and its affiliates. IAAM may also contact you via surveys to conduct research about your opinion of current services or of potential new services that may be offered.

IAAM does not sell, rent or lease its customer lists to third parties. IAAM may, from time to time, contact you on behalf of external business partners about a particular offering that may be of interest to you. In those cases, your unique personally identifiable information (e-mail, name, address, telephone number) is not transferred to the third party. In addition, IAAM may share data with trusted partners to help us perform statistical analysis, send you email or postal mail, provide customer support, or arrange for deliveries. All such third parties are prohibited from using your personal information except to provide these services to IAAM, and they are required to maintain the confidentiality of your information.

IAAM does not use or disclose sensitive personal information, such as race, religion, or political affiliations, without your explicit consent.

IAAM keeps track of the Web sites and pages our customers visit within IAAM, in order to determine what IAAM services are the most popular. This data is used to deliver customized content and advertising within IAAM to customers whose behavior indicates that they are interested in a particular subject area.
