We are concerned about the security of your personal information online. That's why we have ensured that each of our partners employs the best methods for keeping your information safe.

Both AES and our partner programs protect your information via:

  • SSL encryption of personal data which protects data as it passes over the Internet
  • Password protection and encryption technology on your personal accounts
  • Firewalls and systems monitoring
  • Security audits and inspections by leading security firms
  • Monitoring for intrusion attempts - 24 hours a day, 7 days a week

Remember that information you provide to our program partners is governed under each individual partner's privacy policy. We recommend that you understand each partner's policy before joining.

What you can do to protect your personal information

The following tips can help you keep your information secure:

Passwords

  • Choose a unique, hard-to-guess password. Do not use obvious or easily accessed information, such as your name, phone number, Social Security number, family names, birthdays, pets, etc.
  • Include a long phrase or a combination of letters, numbers and symbols.
  • Do not use the same password for all of your online accounts.
  • Never provide your account user name or password to anyone.

Online/Email

  • Log out when you are finished accessing your partner program account and close your browser to erase information that may have been stored temporarily.
  • Do not click a link in an email if you are unsure of its origin.
  • Never include confidential personal or financial information in an email.
