Second, the site collects information about the type of work you do (i.e. advertising, marketing research, student, etc.) and your marketing responsibilities.

How We Use the Information

We use your information to provide you with a better experience at our site.

Access Privileges

We use information collected during registration to verify that you have the rights to access AMA-member-only content, and that you qualify for various AMA-member discounts and promotions.

AMA Hawaii Statement of Ethics

As an AMA member, I agree to abide by the AMA Statement of Ethics, embracing the highest ethical norms and values for marketers.

(1) Marketers must first do no harm.
(2) Marketers must foster trust in the marketing system.
(3) Marketers should embrace, communicate and practice the fundamental ethical values that will improve consumer confidence in the integrity of the marketing exchange system.

Any AMA Hawaii member found to be in violation of the Statement of Ethics may have his or her Association membership suspended or revoked. In order to validate your membership application, you must agree to the Statement of Ethics and adhere to it. By agreeing to the Terms & Conditions, you will be subscribing to the Statement of Ethics.

Site navigation

In order to guide you to relevant content on the site, some of the personal information from the site registration is used to build a “Personal Home Page.” For example, a market researcher’s Personal Home Page includes links to market research Best Practice papers, articles, and other such resources.

The initial front page of your Personal Home Page may contain information about you such as your name, the date you became a member of the AMA, and the date of your membership renewal. All other personally identifiable information on your Personal Home Page will be accessible only through the use of your user name and password.

You may opt out of having a Personal Home Page by contacting us as set forth below.

Use of IP Address

We may use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server, and to administer our website.

Site Monitoring & Maintenance

We use your registration information to measure the user traffic of various sections of the site. This information is used on an aggregate level only, and the site does not record the specific content viewed by any individual user. Periodically, we perform site maintenance activities that may disrupt the normal operations of the site. We endeavor to perform routine maintenance during non-peak hours. Occasionally, unforeseen interruptions occur to normal operation of the site. We are committed to correcting these as soon as possible.

AMA Memberships & Registration at AMA Conferences

Credit card transactions made with us (which include membership applications and conference registrations) are encrypted via VeriSign SSL certificate. All credit card information we retain is compliant with Payment Card Industry (PCI) data security standards, and does not leave our network. The transactions are handled in-house on a PC Charge Payment Server with SSL encryption.

User Convenience/Affiliate Partners

Our website includes links to selected Affiliate Partners (designated by the “powered by” logo). In some circumstances, we will forward to our affiliates information to pre-register our users on the affiliate’s site. This is done to reduce the number of clicks for users or to qualify users for various promotional benefits (discounts, etc.).

Affiliate Partners Sites/Trusted Service Providers

Affiliate Partners are responsible for their own policies and procedures during e-commerce transactions. Review the Affiliate Partners’ policies regarding e-commerce transactions on any Affiliate Partner’s site. We are not responsible for products and services transactions that are conducted at any third party websites.

We may also employ other companies and individuals to perform certain functions on our behalf. Examples of such services include fulfilling orders, delivering packages, sending postal mail, e-mail and text messages, removing repetitive information from customer lists, analyzing data, providing marketing assistance (including direct and targeted marketing), processing credit card payments, and providing customer service. These Trusted Service Providers have access to selected personal information needed to perform their functions, but may not use it for other purposes.

In certain circumstances, we may share your customer information with Trusted Service Providers that need access to your information to provide operational or other support services. We also may provide information to regulatory authorities and law enforcement officials in accordance with applicable law or when we otherwise believe in good faith that the law requires it.

Your personal information collected during site registration or when you sign up for our membership will not be sold to third parties for e-mail marketing or telemarketing campaigns.

Advertisers

Advertisers on our website, which may include traditional banner-style ads, listings in directories, or advertisements in the newsletter, are responsible for their own policies and procedures during e-commerce transactions. We recommend that you review the advertiser’s policy regarding e-commerce transactions on such advertiser sites. We are not responsible for products and services transactions that are conducted at advertiser websites.
