Privacy
American Mensa, Ltd., respects your privacy. This document outlines
the ways that the AML Web site may collect information from you.
Browsing the site
Generally speaking, you can visit the pages of the AML Web site
without telling us who you are or revealing any personal
information.
There are portions of the AML Web site that do request personal
information:
Members-only pages
Some sections of the Web site are reserved for AML members,
International members and our guests only. To access the members-only
pages of the site, you will need to enter your member ID and password.
You may also need to have cookies enabled in your browser. This
information is used to confirm that you are a member in good standing
before displaying these limited-access pages.
NOTICE: The information in the members-only section is for the use of
AML members only. This information should not be shared with nonmembers
of American Mensa or used for promotional and/or non-AML-related
purposes.
Web form and order form pages
Other portions of the site require personal information in order for you
to complete certain activities such as joining AML, renewing your
membership, updating your member profile and so on. These pages will ask
you to enter personal information such as your name, member number,
mailing address, phone numbers, email address, credit card information
and personal profile information. The information that you type in these
forms is necessary to complete the action for which the page is used. We
use SSL (Secure Socket Layers), an advanced online encryption system,
for your safety.
American Mensa collects information from children on a voluntary
basis to update personal profile information or to provide membership
information to potential members.
NOTICE: Information from potential members may be distributed
to local chapters to provide information about local member benefits and
activities and to arrange testing as necessary. For our young members,
we require parental consent to distribute more information than name,
city and state within the organization.
Cookies
The AML Web site uses cookies to provide members-only access to certain
portions of the site as well as to complete online transactions. A
cookie is a text file stored on your computer that includes identifying
information that can be retrieved later. To increase security and
privacy, AML uses "session" cookies only — that is, the cookies
from the AML Web site work only during your current visit. Information
is not saved for future visits.
Opt-out provision
If you currently get Mensa-related notices via email from
American Mensa and wish to have your name removed from future mailings,
please visit our opt-out page.
Links to other sites
The AML Web site includes links to other Web sites. AML is not
responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites. You
should always read the privacy policy at a Web site before revealing any
personal information.
Policy changes
We will inform you of any changes to our Web policies by
posting a notice on our Web site. Those changes will go into effect on
the date posted in the notice. The new policy will apply to everyone
using our Web site and will replace any prior policies.
