How do we protect your information?

Your personal information is accessible only to authorized AATIA officers or appointees via a secured database connection. Members may also choose to make all or certain parts of their personal information hidden to the public in our online membership directory.

We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information when you enter, submit, or access that information. We offer the use of a secure server. All supplied sensitive/credit card information is transmitted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology and then encrypted into our payment gateway provider’s database. It is only accessible to authorized individuals with special access rights to such systems, who are required to keep the information confidential.

After a transaction, your private credit card or other financial information will not be kept on file, unless you select the automatic membership renewal option.
