AAD may also use your personally identifiable information to inform you of other resources or initiatives available from AAD and its affiliates that align with our mission of providing stability and support.
Sharing Information with Third Parties
AAD does not sell, rent, or lease its member or donor lists to third parties.
AAD may share data with trusted partners to help perform statistical analysis, send you email or postal mail, provide support, or arrange for deliveries. All such third parties are prohibited from using your personal information except to provide these services to AAD, and they are required to maintain the strict confidentiality of your information.
AAD may disclose your personal information, without notice, if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on AAD or the site; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of AAD; and/or (c) act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of AAD, or the public.
Automatically Collected Information
Information about your computer hardware and software may be automatically collected by AAD. This information can include: your IP address, browser type, domain names, access times, and referring website addresses. This information is used for the operation of the service, to maintain the quality of the service, and to provide general statistics regarding use of the AAD website.
Security of your Personal Information
AAD acts as a protective steward of your data, securing your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. AAD uses the following methods for this purpose:
- SSL Protocol: When personal information (such as a credit card number) is transmitted to other websites, it is protected through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol.
- Stewardship in Payments: Payments and donations are processed through our trusted partner, Donorbox. Donorbox does not store usable credit cards on their servers and adheres to strict PCI security compliance and encryption standards to prevent fraud and protect your generosity.
We strive to take appropriate security measures to protect against unauthorized access to or alteration of your personal information. However, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. While we work to protect your personal information, you acknowledge that there are security and privacy limitations inherent to the Internet which are beyond our control.
Right to Deletion
Subject to certain exceptions set out below, on receipt of a verifiable request from you, we will:
- Delete your personal information from our records; and
- Direct any service providers to delete your personal information from their records.
Please note that we may not be able to comply with requests to delete your personal information if it is necessary to complete a transaction, detect security incidents, comply with a legal obligation, or otherwise use your personal information internally in a lawful manner that is compatible with the context in which you provided it.

AAD does not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under the age of thirteen. If you are under the age of thirteen, you must ask your parent or guardian for permission to use this website.
