User Information
Users of this website may differ in their access or needs. We recommend you read this policy in its entirety to understand your and our responsibilities. We use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server and administer our website.
The information in this statement is summarized into two broad headings: customer information and member information. Members who pay dues or register for events online should also read the customer information section. Our site uses Google Analytics for tracking. It also uses cookies to track authenticated sessions such as when you log in to Join AWM or Renew Your Membership or Donate using a password. See the Cookie Information section below for more information about cookies.
Customer Information
Our site uses an order form for customers to request information and services. We collect customers’ contact information (e.g., name and email address) and financial information (e.g., account or credit card numbers). Financial information is used to bill the customer for services. Contact information from the order form is used to send information about the AWM. This contact information is also used to get in touch with customers when necessary. Customers may opt out of receiving future mailings; see the Choice/Opt Out section below.

Members’ contact information is available through the Member Directory. You must log on as an AWM Member to access this directory. Members may opt out of receiving future mailings or being listed in the Member Directory; see the Choice/Opt Out section below.
Security
This site has security measures in place to protect against the loss, misuse, and alteration of the information under our control. We encrypt the transmission of sensitive information (such as credit card numbers) using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology. An SSL certificate to HTTPS enable this website was obtained from Let’s Encrypt, a Certificate Authority. When you go to any section of our website where you transmit sensitive information (such as the Join, Renew Your Membership or Donate sections) you will see a lock in the URL line, which indicates security; it you click on the lock you can see that encryption with a digital certificate keeps your information private and you can see the certificate.
