We do not sell or rent any personal information about our current or former members, advocates, or users to telemarketers, mailing list brokers, or any other non-affiliated third parties. We may disclose your information only in the following limited circumstances:

• Service Providers: We may share information with trusted third-party companies and individuals who perform services on our behalf (such as payment processing, data analysis, email delivery, or hosting). These providers have access only to the information needed to perform their tasks and are contractually obligated to maintain its confidentiality and security.

Security

The security of your data is important to us. We implement commercially reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your personal information, including secure socket layer (SSL) encryption for transmissions, firewalls, and access controls. Employees with access to personal information are required to follow strict confidentiality procedures.

However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Payment Information

Credit card and other payment information is handled exclusively by a secure third-party payment gateway. ATU does not store full credit card details on our servers. This information is tokenized, ensuring that even in the unlikely event of a data breach on our systems, your payment information remains protected.
