ON-LINE PRIVACY STATEMENT
Our Commitment
AMI respects our members' and other users' right to privacy
on-line. We hold your detailed member/user information in
confidence.
Collection of your information
We will sometimes ask users for personal information such
as your name, address, e-mail address, occupation, hobbies
and other details. Providing us your information will simply
help us offer products and services that we think you'd like
to hear about. When you choose to give personal information
to us over the Internet that our business partners or we may
request, we will endeavour to inform you how we will use the
information.
When we ask for personal information for any reason, we will
provide a link to this policy statement to make our intentions
clear.
Use and Disclosure of Information
AMI will take all appropriate steps to keep your personal
information confidential. Those steps include limiting access
to member information databases, communicating this policy
statement to all AMI employees and establishing and enforcing
penalties for violating this statement.
AMI will not sell, rent, or give away our members' personal
information to other companies for use in selling others'
products or services. When we do contract with another company
to market or advertise products or services for us, we will
insist on binding agreements from those companies protecting
our member information. We will vigorously enforce all privacy
agreements we have with other companies.
We gather personal information from our members so we can
better develop our relationship with those members. Occasionally,
we seek user comments on our products and services. These
comments allow us to determine which products and services
our members should be made aware of based on their specific
needs.
We will communicate with members via e-mail or other online
delivery devices only if the member agrees to receive those
communications. Members, who believe they are receiving our
communications in error or no longer desire to receive them,
should inform us and we will remove those members' names from
our mailing lists. AMI will be judicious in the use of e-mail
and paper mail to communicate with members and other users.
We will, at all times, put ourselves in the place of the
recipients of our mail and treat our members as we ourselves
would like to be treated.
AMI has teamed with others to provide our members with
enhanced Internet services. In providing such services, our
business partners also may request personal information from
our members. We prohibit these business partners from selling
or giving away our member information and we require them
to have a posted Privacy Policy, so that our members may review
it before providing personal information to our business partners.
Links to Other Web Sites
AMI has links to third party web sites that provide additional
services and benefits. AMI takes all reasonable steps to
ensure that third parties have and enforce an adequate Privacy
Policy. The Privacy Policy of a third party may be different
to that of AMI and we recommend you carefully review any
third party's Privacy Policy before using products and services.
Storage and Security
AMI will use all reasonable endeavours to ensure that you
only provide personal information in a secure environment
and when the information is no longer needed it will be destroyed
or permanently rendered anonymous.
We currently use the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol
to safeguard your information, including your credit card
number, during online transactions. We believe SSL to be a
very safe encryption method, but we are always looking for
even more secure encryption methods to safeguard information
sent online. Our server will run detection software to help
ensure you are using a secure browser and your information
is secure when you check out. If our browser determines you
are not using a secure browser, a message will appear at checkout.

For your protection, never put your credit card number or
other sensitive information in unencrypted e-mail. In the
extremely unlikely event that we ever do suspect a member's
credit card number has been intercepted, we will immediately
notify the member.
Notwithstanding the fact that we take all reasonable steps
to protect your personal data including the use of encryption
technology, we cannot guarantee the security of any data you
disclose on-line. You can help us keep your personal information
secure by ensuring that any password you use on our web site
is kept strictly confidential, and by logging off when you
have finished using a shared computer.
AMI limits employee access to the servers and databases
that store user information. We have taken all reasonable
steps to prevent unauthorised access, disclosure, loss, misuse
or alteration of data.
You should be aware of the inherent risks associated with
the transmission of information via the Internet.

Liability Disclaimer

relation to its members, customers, students, subscribers
or website visitors. If confidential or personal information
is accessed by a third party, whether by negligence or otherwise
of AMI, its agents, suppliers, contractors, related bodies
corporate, affiliates or associated parties, to the extent
permitted by law, AMI is not liable for any loss, damage,
costs, liability or other form of contribution.
