INFORMATION AE MARKETING GROUP COLLECTS FROM YOU
Permission-based Information Collection. Like many other websites, we actively collect information from our visitors by asking specific questions on this website and by permitting you to communicate directly with us via e-mail and contact forms. Some of the information that you submit through this website may be personally identifiable (that is, information that can be uniquely identified with you, such as your name, address, e-mail address, phone number, etc.).
Passive Information Collection. As you move through a website, certain information can be passively collected from that site (that is, gathered without you actively providing the information) using various technologies and means, such as navigational data collection. Like most website operators, AE tracks Internet service provider addresses and uses cookies (small data files placed into your computer’s browser file). These cookies are used by our server to automatically identify your browser whenever you visit our websites. We use the cookies to record website statistics. Our system also automatically gathers information about the pages you visit on this website and collects operational information about the technology you use, such as your browser, type of computer, operating system, Internet service provider, etc.
HOW AE USES YOUR INFORMATION
AE uses the information that is collected from this website to enhance the operation of this website and allow you to fully utilize all of its features. We use the information to understand what pages of this website are most popular, which pages might need improvement and what technologies are being used by our visitors. The information we gather automatically, or with your permission during your visit to our website, is used in the following ways:
AE may contract with vendors to provide services and information relating to this website. We may disclose information to such affiliated third parties that perform services for us in the processing of the site or servicing of transactions requested by you. These vendors are contractually obligated to keep your personal information secure and private. AE also will disclose any information that it is required to be disclosed by law or by an appropriate government authority. We do not rent, sell or exchange personally identifiable information to any third-party organizations.
E-mail communications, newsletters and related services AE may provide you with the opportunity to receive marketing materials, e-newsletters or educational communications from us or through third parties. You can stop receiving any or all of these materials at any time. Email communication that you send to us via email links and/or contact forms on our website will be referred to an internal staff member who is best able to address your inquiry. We make every effort to respond in a timely fashion when communications are received.
If you decide at some point that you no longer wish to receive marketing or educational communications that you originally requested, please click on the link near the bottom of any e-newsletter to remove yourself.
SECURITY
We take very seriously our responsibility to protect your personal information collected from this website. We use both technical and procedural methods to maintain the integrity and security of our customer information databases. AE protects information by using an Internet firewall. The Internet firewall is a security mechanism that allows us to restrict access to our network from the Internet, while allowing approved traffic to the websites according to AE’s policies and procedures.
The safety and security of your information also depends on you. If you have access to password-protected features, never share your password with anyone else, notify us promptly if you believe your password security has been breached and remember to log off of the secure sections of this website before you leave your computer.
