In some areas we use cookies to allow access to registered users and to pre-populate forms. The cookies are used only to store information to identify the user. Information is not web accessible and access to the information is restricted. If the user has cookies disabled in their browser, we will identify that user by their IP number.
We also use cookies as "shopping carts" in online stores. These cookies are used strictly to keep track of items selected for purchase. Without cookies enabled users will not be able to keep track of multiple purchases but may purchase items individually. These cookies are not tied to a user's personally identifiable information.
We use third-party advertising companies to serve our ads on our Web sites. These third-party advertising companies employ cookie and 1x1 pixel .gifs or web beacons to measure and improve the effectiveness of ads for their clients. To do so, these companies may use anonymous information about your visits to our website and other websites. This information can include: date/time of banner ad shown, the banner ad that was shown, their cookie, the IP address. This information can also be used for online preference marketing purposes.
If you want to prevent a third-party advertiser from collecting data, currently you may either visit each ad network's web site individually and opt out or visit the NAI gateway opt-out site to opt-out of all network advertising cookies. Click here for the NAI gateway opt-out site. This site will also allow you to review the third-party advertising companies' privacy policies.
Links
We offer links to non-affiliated websites. Those non-affiliated sites may employ their own privacy policies. We encourage our visitors to visit the sites that link to our site, but please review the privacy policies of those other websites as we are not responsible for the privacy practices, content, or advertising of such third-party websites.
Petitions, Surveys, Polls, News Alerts, etc.
The American Target Advertising family of sites frequently invites visitors to register to participate in a variety of grassroots actions. These initiatives often require us to capture personal information such as name, email address, postal address and other data related to the particular initiative. How such data will be used will be stated on the data capture form. Your permission to use such data is implied by your participation in the initiative under those stated terms but your email address will never be shared with a 3rd party. We will share such information with our affiliated sites in order to more effectively communicate with you about the important issues we think are of concern to you and to send you information on behalf of our partners and sponsors. We reserve the right to share your postal address and aggregated demographic information with advertisers, sponsors, and partners.

We do not share your credit card information even with our own websites or affiliates, or with third parties except our merchant account established expressly to process your transactions in a secured manner.
We have security procedures such as encryption in place to guard your credit card information from unauthorized disclosure, loss or misuse. Those who make purchases using their credit card are directed to a secure server.

WE’RE GRATEFUL FOR YOUR SUPPORT --
AND WE RESPECT YOUR WISHES
We want to communicate with millions of Americans about our important mission in the least intrusive ways, and to do so we rely on digital data. Some states have enacted laws that protect rights to your personal data such as your name and postal or email address.
Even though states may not constitutionally enact Do Not Mail laws, and even before enactment of state laws about personal information and data privacy rights, we sought to ensure that people who do not wish to receive unwanted postal or digital mail had their desires honored. The process of suppressing names to prevent unwanted mail uses computerized methods, and does not stop printed mailings in process, but takes approximately eight weeks on average to filter for total effectiveness. Our direct mail data agents use the best industry standards out of respect for donors and their family members — because it is the right thing to do. We too have family members or friends we wish to be respected. It is personal to us that we respect Do Not Mail and other reasonable requests, even though states legally may not prohibit mail.
Here are some notices required by data privacy laws in various states.
