Internet Awareness

Whenever you voluntarily post Personal Data in public areas of the AAI System, you should be aware that this information can be accessed by other users of the AAI System and can in turn be used by others to send you unsolicited communications, advertisements or for other purposes. Users should exercise caution in deciding what information you disclose on the AAI System.

The security of your Personal Data depends on your protection of your account password. Please do not disclose your account password to unauthorized people.

Although we will use reasonable efforts to safeguard the privacy of your information, transmissions on the internet cannot be made absolutely secure. Accordingly, we assume no responsibility or liability for disclosure of any of your information due to errors in transmission, unauthorised third-party access or other causes beyond our reasonable control.

Use of Cookies

The AAI System uses “cookies” to help you personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.

By accepting this Privacy Statement, you consent to the use of cookies by the AAI System. This consent can be withdrawn.

One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize the AAI System’s pages, or register with AAI site or services, a cookie helps AAI to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your Personal Data, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the same AAI website, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the AAI features that you customized.

You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the AAI services or Web sites you visit.

Update to this Statement

We may periodically make changes to this Privacy Statement. We will notify you of changes by posting the modified terms on the website and we advise you to revisit this Privacy Policy regularly. Your continued use of the AAI System will be subject to the terms of the then-current policy.
