All viewers shall have a right to privacy
The African Americans and Japanese Society (AA&JS) respects
your right to privacy. We understand that our Complimentary AA&JS Members
need to be in control of their personal information. We also strive to
present information on the AA&JS homepages and e-mail announcements
that are tailored to the needs of our Complimentary AA&JS Members,
an international viewing audience. It is for this reason that we ask you
to register for Membership and to provide your complete and personal information
at AA&JS Surveys, AA&JS Questionnaires and AA&JS Membership
pages.
We may also ask you for personal information when you: visit
particular sites on our AA&JS homepage; enter a contest; download freeware/shareware
language programs (a feature not currently available); subscribe to the
AA&JS quarterly newsletter, or; subscribe to the AA&JS Monitor
(a Members-only Postboard). We will use the personal information that you
provide for us to:
- ensure that the Web contents, Web links, AA&JS-supported advertising (a feature not currently available), and the Complimentary virtual services that we provide on AA&JS (and related sites) are tailored to your current and future needs.
- alert you to special announcements, surveys, updated AA&JS pages, and additional AA&JS features.
- give you first notice of AA&JS opportunities as we continue to grow in size and beyond virtual reality.
If you choose not to register with AA&JS, or if you provide
inaccurate or incomplete personal information, you may still visit many
AA&JS pages on the Web. However, you will not have full access to the
AA&JS pages or AA&JS Member benefits that require your accurate
and complete personal identification. If we find that you have provided
AA&JS with false or inaccurate personal identification, your Complimentary
AA&JS Membership and your Membership benefits will be denied or revoked.
About Special AA&JS Announcements
All e-mails addressed to and forwarded by the AA&JS are
subject to having the Member's personal contact information edited out
for the purpose of monitoring the progress of the e-mail dialogues and
for confidentiality.
Occasionally, the African Americans and Japanese Society (AA&JS)
will forward edited versions of its Members' e-mail messages and announcements,
upon special request, to its AA&JS Complimentary Members. This service
is designed to allow Members the chance to respond by e-mail to the forwarded
e-mail message or announcement topic.
All e-mails addressed to and forwarded by the AA&JS are subject to having the personal contact information edited out by the AA&JS for the purpose of enabling AA&JS to monitor the progress of the e-mail dialogues and to supervise confidentiality.
Since AA&JS attempts to act as editor and moderator of
its Members' special e-mail messages and announcements, it is the AA&JS
that receives all e-mails and e-mail replies, and then it is also the AA&JS
that forwards the e-mails and e-mail replies to each intended participants
of the dialogue in progress.
Because of issues that relate to user confidentiality and for the purpose of monitoring the e-mail discussion between AA&JS Members (regarding the topics forwarded in the occasional e-mail messages and announcements), editorial measures are taken so that nearly all of each member's personal contact information is omitted from the message.
Confidentiality is important because in some cases, the authenticity
behind every participant's on-line identity or circumstances cannot be
guaranteed. The AA&JS Complimentary Member who sends AA&JS e-mail
messages and announcements for special broadcast purposes hereby agrees
to accept the terms explained in the above section.
Any participation in the aforementioned service by you, the
AA&JS Complimentary Member, hereby enters into a mutual agreement that
reads as follows: the AA&JS reserves the right to edit all e-mails
and to edit-out any and all personal contact information for the purpose
of monitoring and confidentiality.
How will AA&JS protect your personal information?
AA&JS will protect the personal information that you provide.
Your information will not be used for marketing purposes. No AA&JS
Staff or Complimentary AA&JS Member or third-party affiliates will
ever request monetary payments from you on-line or otherwise. In the event
such activity does occur (on-line or otherwise), please report the activity
at once to the AA&JS Founder (see e-mail and contact information below).
When we do request current demographic information, we will
not share any of your personal information with any third party without
your prior consent. We may however offer non-personal aggregate information
to third-parties that will in no way jeopardize your right to privacy.
All AA&JS Members will receive special AA&JS announcements
via e-mail. On occasion, AA&JS Staff may also send you personal e-mail
messages unless you have otherwise specified that you do not want such
e-mail sent to you. If you do not want to receive personalized e-mail messages
from AA&JS Staff, you may indicate so by clicking the "No"
circle at the time you initially submit your personal membership application
to AA&JS. If you later change your mind, you may contact us by e-mail
at any time or resubmit your corrected application data. Your most recent
AA&JS membership application will supersede earlier applications in
the event you need to make changes in data. You will receive a confirmation
letter via e-mail as is necessary.
AA&JS may occasionally present a special contest or promotion or an AA&JS on-line event that may or may not be sponsored by another company. To qualify for entry, we may request you to provide personal information. If we plan to share that information with the sponsor(s), we will provide a statement to that effect at the time or our request.
How to cancel your Complimentary AA&JS Membership?

However so, at AA&JS, we realize that the lives of our diverse AA&JS Members are always changing and that they may choose to no longer benefit from an AA&JS membership. With ease, we allow you to cancel your Complimentary AA&JS Membership when you simply e-mail the AA&JS Membership Administrator (click here) and include the following request to "CANCEL AA&JS MEMBERSHIP." We will remove your personal information from all AA&JS e-mailing lists and terminate all AA&JS services and benefits for you after receiving your e-mail request.
