Your visit to the Site will be logged; however, you will remain anonymous to us unless you choose to share information with us. We track the number of people that view each page of the Site to better understand which features are most popular and best meet the needs of our visitors.

From time to time, we may use Member information for new, unanticipated uses not previously disclosed in this Policy.

If you are concerned about how your information is used, you should check back at the Site periodically.

AIM does not target children for collection of personal information at any of its Sites. AIM recognizes that the privacy of children must be protected. We believe that parents have the right to protect the privacy and security of their children and to prevent the inappropriate use of information about their children.
We will never knowingly collect or solicit information from individuals under the age of 13 without first obtaining verifiable parental consent. If you are under the age of 13 you should not provide information to us via the Site.
