This information includes the operating system a visitor is using, the date and time the user visited the Website, referring URLs (what website the visitor came from), Internet service provider, browser type, device identifier, and information on the pages that visitors\u2019 access or visit.\u00a0Most non-personally identifiable information is collected via cookies or other analysis technologies, and is discussed in greater detail below under \u201cCookies and Interest-Based Advertising.\u201d<\/p>\n What We Collect Offline<\/strong><\/p>\n We may also obtain other information about you, including Personal Information, when you interact with us, or our agents or contractors, or other third party sources outside of our Website or mobile apps, such as in person, over the phone or by mail, text or email.

For example, if you rent a car through AAA Club Alliance\u2019s arrangement with Hertz, we may be provided with Personal Information regarding your rental. In addition, information we receive from third-party providers helps us verify the information you have given us or to add demographic or other information to help us better understand your potential needs for additional products or services. We may combine information that we receive about you from our Website or social media resources or mobile apps with information we receive about you from offline sources.<\/p>\n You may also give us information about other persons, such as your family members, or friends or your employees or clients, which we will use for the purpose you provide it, but then you are responsible for obtaining any required permission to share this information with us.<\/p>\n Personal Information<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cPersonal Information\u201d is defined as information related to your membership and\/or your transactions with us or that allows someone to identify or contact you, such as (a) your first name or first initial and last name, address, zip code, email addresses and telephone numbers, and\u00a0your AAA membership number;\u00a0(b) age, date of birth, gender and marital status and family information, military identification information and veteran status; (c)\u00a0payment or credit histories, wage\/salary information, income data, account balances, credit card, bank account or debit card numbers and other payment information; and (d) other non-public sensitive personal information, such as part or all of your social security number, passport number, alien registration number, driver\u2019s license number, other state identification numbers, VIN numbers, user names and passwords or security or access codes or authentication information, insurance policy information and identification numbers, personal health information, biometric identifiers, and geolocation information, and any other personal information that is protected by applicable federal or state laws, rules or regulations or industry requirements.\u00a0 Personal Information also may be referred to as \u201cnonpublic personal information\u201d or \u201cpersonally identifiable information\u201d.<\/p>\n How We May Use Information<\/strong><\/p>\n We may use the information we collect (including Personal Information) individually, or combine it with other information to generate aggregate statistical information. When we aggregate information it does not identify you personally. The primary uses of the information we collect include:<\/p>\n How We May Share Information<\/strong><\/p>\n We may share and disclose information including Personal Information as described at the time information is collected or as follows:<\/p>\n With Our Affiliates and Certain Non-Affiliated Companies<\/strong><\/p>\n We may share information about you, including certain Personal Information, with our affiliates and subsidiaries, other AAA clubs, AAA National organization, preferred travel partners, companies that offer our members discounts through the AAA Discounts and Rewards Program, and other non-affiliated companies that provide goods, services and\/or AAA member benefits to you, including Roadside Assistance, driving school, insurance and other financial services, transportation services, and health related services. We only share your information in this way to offer you products and services that may meet your interests and needs and to effect transactions, programs and services that you authorize or request. The companies outside our own affiliates are permitted to use this information, including Personal Information, only to promote their products and services offered through us to you, or to provide goods, services, member benefits, or effect transactions, programs and\/or services, and are not permitted to share your information or to use it for any other purpose without our or your specific consent. We are not liable for the privacy policies or information security practices of any such non-affiliated companies so you should review their privacy policies.\u00a0<\/p>\n Also see our Consumer Privacy Notice For Financial Services (included at the end of this Privacy Policy) to see how you can limit some of this sharing with respect to your nonpublic personal financial information.\u00a0<\/p>\n With Our Service Providers<\/strong><\/p>\n We share information, including Personal Information, with our service providers and contractors as needed so that they can perform the functions for which we engage them (such as Website hosting and data analyses, providing information systems for storing or processing our business data, with respect to our provision of services, sending communications and processing credit card payments). We may also share information as needed to operate the Website, mobile applications and our information systems and other aspects of our business.<\/p>\n For Legal Purposes<\/strong><\/p>\n We also may share information that we collect to enforce our rights, protect our property or protect the rights, property or safety of others, or as needed to support external auditing, compliance and corporate governance functions. We will disclose information, including Personal Information, as we deem necessary to respond to a subpoena, warrant, governmental request, legal investigation, court order or other legal or regulatory process or to comply with reporting and other legal requirements (including relating to any data security breaches) or when necessary to protect our members, customers and others.<\/p>\n Corporate Changes<\/strong><\/p>\n We may transfer information, including your Personal Information, in connection with our, or any of our affiliates\u2019 participation in (in each case whether in whole or in part) a merger, sale, reorganization, joint venture, acquisition or other change of ownership or control by or of us or any affiliated company. If this occurs, we will disclose your information in accordance with applicable law, and will notify you if required by law or other agreement.<\/p>\n Security of Your Information<\/strong><\/p>\n We utilize a variety of industry standard security technologies and have internal security practices to safeguard the information we have about you and to protect the privacy and confidentiality of your Personal Information and transactions with us, and to comply with applicable federal and state laws, rules and regulations and industry regulations. We use administrative, technical and physical safeguards designed to restrict access to all of your Personal Information and account information to those AAA Club Alliance employees, agents, independent contractors or service providers who have a legitimate business need for such information with respect to our services and we require them to agree to protect such information. However, the security of information transmitted through the Internet or via e-mail or other means, can never be guaranteed. We are not responsible for any interception or interruption of any communications by you through the Internet or sent to us through your email, or for changes to or losses of data. Users of the Website are responsible for maintaining the security of any password, user ID or other form of authentication involved in obtaining access to password protected or secure areas of the Website. You should recognize that your use of the Internet and the Website is solely at your own risk.\u00a0 However, we do offer to members an identity theft monitoring program that may help you safeguard your financial security. If any data security breach of any personal information or confidential information is suspected or has occurred, we may suspend use of any of the Website, mobile applications or other systems, without notice, to protect personal information and any other types of information while we investigate the issue. Access to and use of password-protected and\/or secure areas of any of the Website, mobile applications or other systems is restricted to authorized users only. Unauthorized access to such areas is prohibited.\u00a0<\/p>\n Mobile Computing<\/strong><\/p>\n We may provide Websites and online resources that are specifically designed to be compatible with and used on mobile computing devices.\u00a0 Mobile versions of our Website or other mobile applications may require that users log in with an account.\u00a0 In such cases, information about the use of each mobile version of the Website may be associated with user accounts.\u00a0 In addition, we may enable individuals to download an application, widget or other tool that can be used on mobile or other computing devices. Some of these tools may store information on mobile or other devices.\u00a0 These tools may transmit information to us to enable you to access user accounts and to enable us to track use of these tools, such as location services so we can provide you with services.\u00a0 We may use Personal Information or non-identifiable information transmitted to us to enhance these tools, to develop new tools, for quality improvement and as otherwise described in this Privacy Policy or in other notices we provide.<\/p>\n Emails and Text Messages<\/strong><\/p>\n You may receive emails or text messages from us if you have provided us with your email address or cell phone number, unless you have opted out of receiving these.\u00a0 You can opt out by (i) clicking on the links available in our emails, or as may be stated in the text message, or (ii) by going online to the Preference Center, where you may opt out of different kinds of emails, text alerts, phone calls or postal communications, or (iii) by contacting us as provided in this Privacy Policy.\u00a0 Our Text Alert Policy is available at https:\/\/cluballiance.aaa.com\/mobile-services\/text-alerts-terms-and-conditions?rdl=midatlantic.aaa.com.<\/p>\n We try to strike a balance between the security of your Personal Information and account information and your convenience.\u00a0 We note that we may send you an e-mail or a text message in unencrypted form (i.e. instantly readable) because many of our members and customers are unable to access encrypted (i.e. coded) e-mails or texts. This means that such message, if misrouted or intercepted, could be read more easily than encrypted messages. For this reason, please do not include confidential information or certain Personal Information, such as your\u00a0credit card number, passport numbers, driver\u2019s license numbers, or account passwords, in any unencrypted e-mail or text you send to us.<\/p>\n On our Website, you may be able to choose to use a send or share service to send information from the Website to someone else.\u00a0 In such case we will ask you for certain Personal Information of such persons, such as their email address, as well as your name and email address.\u00a0 The information you provide will be used to send a single message by us on your behalf.\u00a0 This information will not be collected or stored for any additional purpose.\u00a0 By providing us with this information you affirm that you are entitled to provide it to us.<\/p>\n Social Media<\/strong><\/p>\n We may also enable you to post content to social networking sites (e.g. Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube) for purposes such as answering some questions or asking questions or providing comments.\u00a0 If you choose to do this you acknowledge that you are responsible for your use of a social networking site.\u00a0 We are not responsible for the availability or accuracy of such social networking sites or your use of such sites. You also should not include any confidential information and certain types of Personal Information in any post you make to a public area of a third party social network page, especially since any such posting immediately becomes public.<\/p>\n Linking From AAA.com to other Websites<\/strong><\/p>\n For your convenience, we may provide links on our Website to third party websites. We may also provide links to third party websites of our business partners or certain service providers so that they can provide you with the products or services that you request. For example, when you book travel through us or certain of our affiliates, we may direct you to the booking system of our third party service provider which is hosted by them on their own website. Please remember that this Privacy Policy is not applicable to such third party websites and that we are not responsible for the privacy practices of such third parties. Your browsing, use of your email address, providing any information including Personal Information, and interaction on any other website, including sites which have a link on this Website, are subject to the terms, conditions, and privacy policies of that website. Please read over those terms, conditions and policies before proceeding.\u00a0<\/p>\n Note about Children<\/strong><\/p>\n We do not knowingly solicit, collect or maintain Personal Information directly from any person under the age of thirteen (however, if their Personal Information is provided to us by their parents, for example, in connection with travel services or transportation services, such persons are therefore providing any legally required parental consents by doing this).\u00a0 No parts of our Services are directed to or designed to attract anyone under the age of thirteen directly.\u00a0<\/p>\n Our Use of Cookies and Interest-Based Advertising<\/strong><\/p>\n We use \u201ccookies\u201d or \u201cweb beacons\u201d (also called \u201cclear GIFs\u201d or \u201cpixel tags\u201d) to obtain certain types of information when your web browser accesses our Website.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n What are cookies? Cookies are small pieces of information that a website transfers to your computer\u2019s hard drive while you are viewing the Website for record keeping and other purposes. Cookies make navigating the Web easier for you by saving your registration, passwords and preferences while you\u2019re at the Website. By using cookies, we can serve you better since they help us understand what information interests you.<\/p>\n The use of cookies is an industry standard; most major websites use them. Cookies come in two types that might be used on our Website: a persistent cookie and a session cookie. A persistent cookie gets entered by your Web browser in the \u201ccookies\u201d folder on your computer and remains in this folder after you close your browser. Persistent cookies may be used by your browser on subsequent visits to the site. A session cookie is held temporarily in your computer\u2019s memory and disappears after you close your browser or shut off your computer.<\/p>\n Web beacons are small graphic files with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies which are used to track online movements of Web users.<\/p>\n We may work with third parties, including advertising companies, media agencies, and website analysis firms, who also use cookies and web beacons to collect non-personally identifiable information when you visit our Website and third party sites. This non-personally identifiable information is typically used by these third party advertising companies (i.e., advertising networks) to serve you with advertisements tailored to meet your interests and needs while on third party sites.\u00a0<\/p>\n Here are some examples of how we use cookies and web beacons:<\/strong><\/p>\n Our use of cookies and web beacons includes login verification, session management, load balancing and personalization to enhance your user experience. A cookie lets our computers remember that you\u2019ve registered, which allows us to speed up your future activities at our Website. Using cookies to do this record keeping saves you the trouble of entering information over and over again. For example, when you initially visit AAA.com, a persistent cookie is used to capture your zip code to make it easier to ensure you visit the appropriate AAA club website. We also use cookies to estimate the number of visitors to our Website, track visits to and sales at the sites referenced on our Website, and analyze our users\u2019, members\u2019 and customers\u2019 visiting patterns. Similarly, cookies help us tailor our product and service offerings, and those of our business partners, to suit your personal interests, and for that reason we may share cookies that contain your email address or AAA membership number with our business partners.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n We also use clear gif tracking images on some of our pages and in our HTML e-mails that we send you to determine open rates.<\/p>\n We use web analytics tools, including Google Analytics, to help analyze how users use the Website. The web analytics tools use cookies to collect standard Internet log information and visitor behavior information in an anonymous form. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the Website (including IP address) is transmitted to our web analytics service providers. This information is then used to evaluate visitors\u2019 use of the Website and to compile statistical reports on Website activity for us. By using our Website or mobile applications you consent to the processing of information about you by web analytics services.<\/p>\n We do not use cookies to store any of your Personal Information or financial information on your computer. Also, we do not use cookies to retrieve information from your computer that was not originally provided by you or provided by your browser in a visit to our Website. Once you visit or click on a link to third party websites, their sites may use cookies. We do not control what information those websites collect or their use of cookies, and they are not subject to our Privacy Policy, including the use of cookies.<\/p>\n What to do if you do not want cookies used:<\/strong><\/p>\n If you do not want cookies used in connection with your visit to our Website, or if you wish to limit their use, you can generally adjust your browser settings on your computer. Most Internet browsers allow you to set your own preferences for use of cookies, and websites may let you accept or not accept the use of cookies. To learn more about cookies and interest-based advertising, or to opt out of cookies, visit the opt-out services of the National Advertising Initiative here:\u00a0\u00a0<\/em>https:\/\/www.networkadvertising.org\/choices<\/a>, or visit\u00a0www.aboutads.info<\/a>\u00a0, and follow the simple opt-out process. If you decline cookies, you may have difficulty navigating our Website, which could adversely impact your AAA online experience.\u00a0A couple of important notes about this opt-out tool: (1) it includes all the advertising networks that we may work with, and many advertising networks that we do not work with, and (2) it may rely on cookies (called \u201cOpt-out Cookies\u201d) to ensure that a given advertising network does not collect information about you. An explanation of how Opt-out Cookies work can be found on\u00a0www.aboutads.info<\/a>. If you use different equipment, change web browsers or delete these Opt-out Cookies from your computer, you will need to perform the opt-out task again. Visitors desiring to prevent data from being collected by Google Analytics may use the opt-out browser add-on\u00a0https:\/\/tools.google.com\/dlpage\/gaoptout\/<\/a>\u00a0developed by Google for this purpose.<\/p>\n Do Not Track Features<\/strong>:<\/p>\n Certain browsers may offer you the option of providing notice to websites that you do not wish for your online activities to be tracked for interest based advertising purposes (\u201cDNT Notice\u201d). Some browsers are, by default, set to provide a DNT Notice, whether or not that reflects your preference. Providing DNT Notice is often touted as a means to ensure that cookies, web beacons and similar technology are not used for interest based advertising purposes \u2013 that is, to restrict the collection of non-personally identifiable information about your online activities for advertising purposes. Unfortunately, given how interest based advertising works, DNT Notices may not effectively accomplish this goal. For this and a variety of other reasons, we do not recognize or take any action in response to browser-based DNT Notices. Rather, if you do not wish to participate in interest-based advertising, you should follow the opt-out process described above in the\u00a0\u201cWhat to do if you do not want cookies used\u201d section of the Privacy Policy.<\/strong><\/p>\n Non-US Users<\/strong><\/p>\n The Website and our affiliates\u2019 websites are not meant to be used by persons residing or located outside of the United States and also by persons not residing in the states or jurisdictions where we are licensed to do business.\u00a0 The services and products offered on our Website are available to or for use only by persons located in the United States where we are licensed to do business.\u00a0 And our club members must reside in the states\/territories where we operate.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Contact Us<\/strong><\/p>\n If you are a member and want to update or modify your Personal Information, please go to My Account<\/strong>\u00a0(https:\/\/cluballiance.aaa.com\/membership\/account<\/a>)\u00a0or contact Member Services at 866-636-2377.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n
