Collection of your Personal Information

As an e-commerce website, AIGA Maine collects personal information, such as your e-mail address, name, home or work address, or telephone number. Information collected by AIGA Maine is used solely for the purpose of billing and shipping your online purchases. AIGA Maine does not collect any information about your computer hardware and software.

AIGA Maine encourages you to review the privacy statements of websites you choose to link to from AIGA Maine so that you can understand how those websites collect, use, and share your information. We are not responsible for the privacy statements or other content on websites outside of the AIGA Maine website.

Use of your Personal Information

AIGA Maine and its operational service partners collect and use your personal information to process product orders and deliver the products requested. It is possible that AIGA Maine may also use personal information to inform you of other products or services available from AIGA Maine and its affiliates. AIGA Maine may also contact you via surveys to conduct research about your opinion of current services or potential new services that may be offered.

AIGA Maine does not sell, rent, or lease its customer lists to third parties. AIGA Maine may, from time to time, contact you on behalf of external business partners about a particular offering that may be of interest to you. In those cases, your personal information (email, name, address, telephone number) is not transferred to the third party.

We occasionally hire other companies to provide limited services on our behalf, such as handling the processing and delivery of mailings, providing customer support, processing transactions, or performing statistical analysis of our services. We will only provide those companies the personal information they need to deliver the service. They are required to maintain the confidentiality of your information and are prohibited from using that information for any other purpose.

AIGA Maine does not use or disclose sensitive personal information, such as race, religion, or political affiliations, without your explicit consent.

AIGA Maine may access and/or disclose your personal information if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on AIGA Maine or the site; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of AIGA Maine, including its website; or (c) act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of AIGA Maine or the public.

Personal information collected on this site may be stored and processed in the United States or any other country in which AIGA Maine or its affiliates, subsidiaries, or agents maintain facilities, and by using this site, you consent to any such transfer of information outside of your country. AIGA Maine abides by the safe harbor framework as set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce regarding the collection, use, and retention of data from the European Union.

We use a variety of security technologies and procedures to help protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. For example, we store the personal information you provide on computer systems with limited access that are located in controlled facilities. When we transmit highly confidential information (such as a credit card number) over the Internet, we use a secure payment gateway so your information is protected.
