DOES AMIK SHARE MY PERSONAL INFORMATION WITH OTHERS?
If we collect personal information on our website, we may share your personal information (a) with certain companies such as independently owned and operated companies who have contracts with AMIK, (b) with our agents, service providers and other representatives acting on our behalf (collectively referred to as AMIK Affiliates) and/or (c) in any other legal manner.

Our website may include third-party advertising (other than from AMIK or AMIK Affiliates) and links to other websites (other those of AMIK or AMIK Affiliates). You should contact those advertisers and other websites for information on how to contact these companies to learn more or opt-out of their information collection practices. These third-party websites and advertisers, or Internet advertising companies working on their behalf, sometimes use technology to send (or "serve") the advertisements that appear on our website directly to your browser. They automatically receive your IP address when this happens. They may also use cookies, JavaScript, web beacons (also known as action tags or single-pixel gifs), and other technologies to measure the effectiveness of their ads and to personalize advertising content. We do not have access to or control over cookies or other features that they may use, and the information practices of these advertisers and third-party websites are not covered by this Privacy Notice. Please contact them directly for more information about their privacy practices.

From time to time, we may be required to share personal information in response to a valid court order, subpoena, government investigation, or as otherwise required by law. We also reserve the right to report to law enforcement agencies any activities that we, in good faith, believe to be unlawful. We may share certain personal information when we believe that such release is reasonably necessary to protect the rights, property and safety of others and ourselves. We may also transfer personal information in the event of a corporate sale, merger, acquisition, dissolution or similar event.

DO I HAVE CHOICES REGARDING THE USE OF MY INFORMATION FOR MARKETING PURPOSES?
AMIK is an opt-out organization. Once we receive your information, we or any of our Affiliates may send you marketing communications that contain valuable offers, promotions and other content. You always have the ability to opt-in or opt-out of receiving future marketing communications from AMIK and any of its Affiliates.

To opt-out of or opt-in to receiving marketing communications from AMIK any and of its Affiliates, please take one of the following actions:

1) Follow the directions on a marketing e-mail or direct mail marketing communication from us. All marketing communications from AMIK will tell you how to stop receiving them.

2) Call (573) 873-3356 and provide your current contact information.

If you send an e-mail or letter request, please be sure to include your full name, address, phone number and e-mail address and indicate specifically what type of marketing communication(s) (e.g., e-mail, direct mail and/or phone) you wish to receive or stop receiving. This will ensure we identify you correctly in our systems and accurately process your request.

AMIK will take appropriate steps to implement your request to opt-out of or opt-in to receiving marketing communications. Please note that due to production, mailing and system timelines, in order to remove you from our marketing lists, it may take up to:

  • 10 business days for e-mails
  • 30 days for phone calls
  • 6 weeks for direct mail

Until that change takes effect, you may still receive marketing communications from us or AMIK Affiliates.

Also, please note that even though you may have opted out of receiving marketing communications, you may still receive business-related communications or other organization-related communications.

HOW DOES AMIK SECURE MY ONLINE PERSONAL INFORMATION?

Cookies and Clickstream Technology

A cookie is a small data file that a website or e-mail may send to your browser, which may then be stored on your hard drive. Our website and e-mails may use cookies to create a more personalized experience for visitors to our site. Cookies simulate a continuous connection — they let us "remember" information about your preferences and session, and allow you to move within areas of our websites without reintroducing yourself.

AMIK may use a third party to place cookies on your computer to collect non-personally identifiable information. Although our cookies may contain a unique user ID, they do not collect or store any of your personally identifiable information.

You may choose to set your Web browser to not accept cookies. If your cookies are disabled, you can still view our site, but you cannot create an account or make purchases (if those services are available on our website).

Our Web server may automatically collect clickstream information such as the address (or URL) of the website that you came from before visiting our site, which pages you visit on our site, which browser you used to view our site, and any search terms you may have entered on our site, among other things.

Our website may also use other technologies to track which pages of our websites our visitors view. This anonymous clickstream data helps us understand how visitors use our website.

WILL THIS PRIVACY POLICY CHANGE?
Because AMIK will continue to implement new technologies and improve the services and features we provide, this policy is subject to change. If there are changes or additions to this Privacy Policy, we will post those changes here or in other formats for you to review.
