America Online, Inc. (AOL) is strongly committed to protecting the privacy of consumers of its interactive products and services. Throughout cyberspace, we want to contribute to providing a safe and secure environment for consumers.
The purpose of this AOL.com privacy policy is to inform you, as a welcome visitor to AOL.com, what kinds of information we may gather about you when you visit AOL.com, how we may use that information, whether we disclose it to anyone, and the choices you have regarding our use of, and your ability to correct, the information. This privacy policy applies to the AOL.com site and other Internet-accessible AOL-branded services like AOL Instant Messenger that incorporate this policy (although we will refer here only to AOL.com to make reading this policy easier). The AOL Internet online service has a separate privacy policy for its members. If you are a member of the AOL service, you can find that policy within AOL's Terms of Service (AOL keyword "TOS"). Other AOL products and services may also have their own privacy policies, which you should review when you use these services. Finally, please note that this policy applies only to AOL.com, and not to other companies' or organizations' Web sites to which we link.
