Your personal privacy is absolutely important to us. Because of that, AEGIS operates by these principles --

• You are never required to provide any personal information in order to use AEGIS.
• When we ask for information that personally identifies you, it is used only in providing the information you have requested. For example, AEGIS can deliver HIV-related news directly to you via email, but to do that we have to ask for your email address.
• At no time does AEGIS share, give, or sell any personal information about you.
• If you decide to personalize your AEGIS visits by setting user preferences, we store those preferences in a text file called a "cookie" in the browser files of your computer. This cookie lets AEGIS remember your personalized settings between visits. This information is stored on your computer, not on the AEGIS server. If you do not want this information stored, refrain from setting any preferences.
• If at any time you believe AEGIS has not adhered to these principles, please notify us by email to webmaster@aegis.org and we will use all commercially reasonable efforts to determine and correct the problem.
