Privacy Policy
Corporate Election Services, Inc. and AALVote.com (collectively "CES") act as an agent for the corporation or other entity regarding which you have voting rights. This Privacy Policy describes CES's practices regarding the privacy of those who access or use this web site. BY ACCESSING AND/OR USING THIS WEB SITE, YOU INDICATE YOUR AGREEMENT TO CES'S PRIVACY PRACTICES AS DESCRIBED HEREIN.
Information We Collect
CES collects your control number as well as your voting instructions. Any e-mail address you provide to CES for purposes of receiving a vote confirmation will not be provided to any third party for any other purpose.
Use of Collected Information
If you have provided CES with information, you have agreed to the collection and use of your personally identifiable information as described in this Privacy Policy. The personal information collected through this web site is obtained on behalf of the corporation or other entity regarding which you have voting rights, so that CES can provide the electronic voting service you have decided to use. CES may provide this information directly to such corporation or entity, or may use such information under that corporation or entity's direction in compliance with its policies and practices. CES treats your personally identifiable information as confidential, and it is only used to provide the services described on this web site. CES does not sell, rent or otherwise release personal information collected through this web site. While CES may provide aggregate voting data or web site visit data to others, such data will not include information which can personally identify you. CES may also disclose information in special cases when it has a good-faith belief that such disclosure is necessary to conform with legal requirements, comply with legal process, protect or defend CES rights or property, or enforce this web site's Terms and Conditions.
Protecting Information
CES works carefully to protect information which could personally identify you. Protection measures include, without limitation, using industry-standard techniques such as encryption, web site monitoring and firewalls. However, internet data transmission cannot be guaranteed to be totally secure. Because of this fact, while CES seeks to protect information which can personally identify you, it cannot promise or warrant the security of any information you send to CES or receive from CES via the internet. This includes e-mail messages you may send to CES or receive from CES. CES has no way of protecting such information until it arrives at facilities we control. Once we receive your internet transmission, we strive to ensure its security on CES servers. Internally, we will restrict access to your information to those who need such information to perform their job duties. Such personnel are limited in number, and are aware of this Privacy Policy. In order to protect your privacy, CES reminds you that its personnel will not request your control number via unsolicited communications such as phone calls or e-mails.
Cookies
Various web sites often use a technology called "cookies" to gather information about how a web site is used. Cookies can tell a web site's operator whether a user has previously visited the web site, and can also note any user preferences that may have been set while the user was on the web site. Users of this web site should note that CES does not currently use cookies.
Privacy Policies on Other Web Sites
This web site may contain links to other web sites, including those designated by the corporation or other entity regarding which you have voting rights. While CES seeks to link only to web sites that share similar privacy standards, CES cannot be responsible for the privacy practices which other web sites may follow.

At any time, CES may amend this Privacy Policy by updating this posting. By using this web site, you agree to be bound by any such revisions. You should therefore periodically revisit this web site to examine this Privacy Policy to determine any changes which will bind you.
