5. Security
- The security of your Personal Information is important to us. AEI takes technical, contractual, administrative, and physical security steps to protect Personal Information that you provide to us.

- In certain areas, such as when you provide credit card information to us, we work to help protect the security of your credit card information during transmission by using industry standard Secure Sockets Layer (“SSL”) encryption technology.
- You can help protect the security of your Personal Information as well. For instance, never give out your password, since this is what is used to access your Account or Registration Information.
