What we collect.

- Sign-ins: each time you sign in we record the date and time, your IP address and the name your browser gives for itself and your device (its user agent), to keep accounts secure.
- Policy views and agreements: when you open this Privacy Policy or our Terms of Use we record the date and time, your IP address and your browser's user agent; when you agree to a policy we also record the name you sign with and the version you agreed to.

Cookies. When you sign in, the website places a cookie named SessionID in your browser that keeps you signed in. It ends when you close the browser, or after 30 days if you choose Remember me. While you use the website, a cookie that ends when you close the browser keeps your place, and short-lived cookies, which end within minutes or days, are used while you sign in, register, recover your account or reset your password. If you vote in a poll, a cookie remembers for one year that this browser has voted. None of these cookies is used for advertising.
How we use it. To run the website and American True Merit's programs and services, to keep your account secure, to send you the notices your account needs and the messages you choose to receive, and where the law requires it. We do not sell your personal information.
Who sees it. American True Merit's staff and volunteers, as far as their roles need; American True Merit, which hosts the website; and the services that deliver the website's email and take its payments, only to do so. Otherwise we share it only where the law requires.
How long we keep it. Only as long as it is needed for these purposes, or as long as the law requires.
Keeping it safe. We protect personal information with reasonable safeguards against loss, theft and unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, use or change.
Your choices. You can see and correct much of your information in your account. To ask for a copy of your information, or for it to be corrected or deleted, write to info@amtruemerit.com. Marketing emails carry an Unsubscribe link that stops them.
