 * Policies



Effective February 5, 2018

Last updated August 12, 2021 
(Policy updated to clarify data practices for certain donations as of August 12,
2021, and to reflect certain updates in accordance with the California Consumer
Privacy Act as of January 1, 2020)

En español | AARP is committed to maintaining your trust by respecting and
protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy describes why and how we collect,
use, share, and protect personal data collected from and about members,
volunteers, donors, program participants, job applicants, and others – both
online and offline. It also explains your choices regarding how we share your
personal data and communicate with you, how you can request access to and
correction of your personal data, and other important considerations.  


COLLECTION AND USE

We collect and use personal data from or about you to help us support our
non-profit mission and serve our membership. We collect such data in various
ways, including data you provide to us, data we collect by automated means, and
data we collect from other sources. 


SHARING

Except as described in this Privacy Policy, we do not share your personal data
with unaffiliated entities without your consent. We do share personal data with
a limited number of Licensed Service Providers, which are unaffiliated entities
that make available AARP-branded products or services and/or discounts to AARP
members. These Licensed Service Providers are required to use the personal data
only to offer, provide, maintain, and analyze the contracted products, services,
or discounts. You can obtain a list of these Licensed Service Providers here.

We also occasionally share personal data with select, unaffiliated non-profit
organizations for use in their own social missions.

We share personal data with vendors and social media networks we hire to provide
services or perform business functions on our behalf, but these vendors are
contractually required to treat the personal data AARP provides as confidential,
and to use the personal data only to provide the services AARP has requested
they perform on our behalf.

Finally, we may share personal data pursuant to legal requirements, as necessary
to protect ourselves, our members or others, or in connection with a direct or
indirect reorganization process, such as a sale, merger, consolidation or
bankruptcy.


SECURITY

We use administrative, technical, and physical security measures designed to
protect personal data against accidental, unlawful, or unauthorized destruction,
loss, alteration, access, disclosure, or use.


CHOICE

We strive to provide you reasonable choices regarding our collection, use, and
sharing of your personal data. We provide you access to review and correct your
personal data, provide you options regarding how we share personal data with
third-parties including AARP Licensed Service Providers and unaffiliated
non-profit organizations, and provide you control over how we communicate with
you, among other choices. 

You may contact us at any time regarding these choices as follows:

 * Visit the AARP Help Center
 * Call us at 888-OUR-AARP (888-687-2277)
 * Write to us at AARP Membership Center, 3200 E. Carson St., Lakewood, CA 90712

subject.

MORE INFORMATION

Please review the full Privacy Policy below for more complete details on how we

WHAT THIS PRIVACY POLICY COVERS

This Privacy Policy applies to personal data, which we define as data that
identifies, relates to, describes, references, is reasonably capable of being
associated with, or can reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, to an
individual or household. This includes data such as your name, address, email
address, phone number, and data that is linked to such personal data, (such as
demographic data, AARP passwords, payment data, device and usage data, and
location data). This Privacy Policy does not apply to data that is not personal
data or is not linked to personal data, including anonymous, de-identified, or
aggregate data, which cannot reasonably be used to identify you – even when such
data has been derived from personal data – and publicly available information
(i.e., information that is lawfully made available from federal, state, or local
government records).

Except as described below, this Privacy Policy applies to all operations of
AARP, a non-profit organization, and each of its subsidiaries and affiliates,
such as the AARP Foundation and AARP Services, Inc. (together “AARP”). This
Privacy Policy applies when you communicate with us by mail, email, phone,
social media, or in person, including at AARP events. This Privacy Policy also
applies when you use AARP websites or applications designed for smartphones,
tablets, computers, and other devices (“apps”), except where an AARP website or
app points to a different governing policy (e.g., the AARP MemberAdvantages
Privacy Policy) or where a non-AARP policy explicitly applies (e.g., the Deluxe
Financial Services, LLC Privacy Policy governing the AARP Rewards for Good
rewards catalog and redemption center). You can find the governing privacy
policy in our websites’ footers or in our apps’ menus or settings.

By providing us your personal data or by using our websites or apps, you consent
to our collection, use, and sharing of personal data as described in this
Privacy Policy. Accordingly, we urge you to read it carefully and contact us
with any questions as follows:

 * Visit the AARP Help Center
 * Call us at 888-OUR-AARP (888-687-2277)
 * Write to us at AARP Membership Center, 3200 E. Carson St., Lakewood, CA 90712
   




WHY WE COLLECT AND HOW WE USE PERSONAL DATA

The collection and use of personal data (along with other kinds of data) is
critical to the successful operation of most modern organizations – including
AARP. We collect and use personal data from or about you to support our
non-profit mission and serve our membership, including to:

 * Deliver the information, programs, products and/or services you request
 * Evaluate and respond to your inquiries and submissions
 * Provide you with customer support and membership benefits
 * Communicate with you through various channels, including postal mail, email,
   telephone, apps, online chats, in person, and social media
 * Process your payments and account adjustments
 * Create and manage your membership and account registrations
 * Conduct and administer contests, surveys, and sweepstakes (note that in some
   cases a non-AARP sponsor’s privacy policy may also apply)
 * Customize your experiences and identify you online, including by displaying
   offers and advertising tailored to your interests and/or background
 * Evaluate and improve our products, services, memberships, benefits, digital
   services, and other operations (e.g., developing and analyzing new or revised
   products and services; performing market research and data analytics;
   creating and applying data models; and assessing the effectiveness of our
   websites, apps, communications, advertising, and marketing programs)
 * Evaluate your employment applications and contact you regarding potential
   employment
 * Protect against and prevent fraud and unauthorized transactions, investigate
   complaints and claims, and provide other security protections
 * Comply with and enforce applicable legal obligations, our policies, and our
   terms and conditions
 * Perform other business functions consistent with our non-profit mission and
   serve our membership
    




HOW WE COLLECT PERSONAL DATA



Data You Provide

We collect your personal data when you choose to provide it as you interact with
us in person, through correspondence, by phone, by social media, or through our
websites or apps. For instance, when you join AARP or register for an account on
our websites or apps, you will be asked to provide basic personal data as part
of your enrollment. Similarly, you may be asked to provide certain personal data
when you participate in AARP events or meetings, submit a contest or sweepstakes
entry, respond to a survey, volunteer, request a program service, or apply for
employment.For example, the personal data you provide might include:

 * Contact and identification information, such as your name, address, telephone
   numbers, and email address;
 * Payment information, such as your payment card number and expiration date;
 * Demographic information, such as your age, date of birth, gender, and
   employment and occupation information;
 * Login and access credentials for your AARP website and app registrations,
   such as your username, password, password reminders and answers;
 * Content you create or submit, such as correspondence, photographs, survey
   responses, public forum or message board postings, social network
   information;
 * Communication preferences, such as which emails and newsletters you wish to
   receive, whether you wish to receive text messages or phone calls, and
   whether you wish to receive push notifications in our apps;
 * Information needed as part of a service program offering you request
   (e.g.,Tax-Aide services)
 * Employment application information, including the types of information
   described above, plus other employment-related data like social security
   number, employment status, employment history, education information,
   references, résumé, immigration status and ability to work legally in the
   United States, personal or family employment affiliation with AARP, and, on a
   voluntary basis, for our Equal Employment Opportunity compliance purposes for
   jobs located in the US, gender, race and ethnic background.



Data We Collect by Automated Means

We collect data (some of which may be personal data) by automated means when you
interact with us through our websites and apps, and when we communicate with you
by email or text message. We use standard technologies, including browser
cookies, Web beacons, and third-party analytics services to collect this
behavioral and operational data, which may be recorded and retained in web
logs and other AARP systems.

The collection of such data is a common practice that supports
digital services,and is used to provide customized digital experiences, as well
as for market research, marketing, analytics, and system administration
purposes. For example, we may use this data to determine whether you’ve
previously visited our website, to store your preferences and settings, and to
provide authentication processes so you can more easily access your account. We
also may use this data to target custom content and ads to you on our websites,
in our apps, and through other digital communications, as well as on third-party
websites and apps as described in the Targeted Advertising section below.

Examples of the data we may automatically collect as part of our website, app,
and digital communication experiences include:

 * Your device and browser type, your operating system version, and your
   language settings
 * Your Internet service provider (ISP)
 * Your internet protocol (IP) address, Mobile Advertising ID, media access
   control (MAC) address, or similar identifiers
 * The website that referred you to our website, or that you visit upon leaving
   our website via a link from our site
 * The times and dates that you visit our websites or use our apps, and the
   duration of such use
 * Information about areas of our websites or apps that you visited or used, as
   well as specific content or advertisements you viewed or links you clicked
 * Information that identifies the precise physical location of your mobile
   device, based on your specific consent (we may use your IP address to
   generally estimate your location without seeking your specific consent – but
   such data does not provide a precise location)
 * Information collected through cookies, Web beacons, analytics tools, and
   other similar technologies
   *  A “cookie” is a small data file that a website sends to and stores on your
     device that allows the site to recognize your browser or store information
     or settings. The cookie itself does not contain personal data, but can be
     read by the entity that placed the cookie and may allow it to associate
     your device to personal data. We may use “persistent” and/or “session”
     cookies. Persistent cookies are stored on your computer and used for
     various purposes by your browser on subsequent website visits (such as to
     avoid having to reenter your log-on credentials). Session cookies are
     temporarily held in your computer’s memory and erased after you end a
     browser session or shut off your computer.
   * A Web beacon (sometimes called transparent or single pixel “GIFs”) is an
     invisible digital object embedded in a webpage or email. Web beacons are
     typically used to monitor your interaction with the webpage or email. Web
     beacons can help us count visitors, determine whether emails are opened,
     how long a webpage is viewed, and perform similar functions. Our webpages
     may contain Web beacons from third parties, which help us compile
     aggregated statistics regarding the effectiveness of our ad campaigns and
     assess website operations.  
   *  Analytics tools allow us to measure and assess how users interact with our
     websites, apps, and digital communications. These services are typically
     provided by third-parties with whom we contract – primarily Adobe and
     Google Analytics. These providers may use many of the same technologies
     discussed above (such as cookies and Web beacons) to collect various data
     points associated with your visits to our websites and use of our apps.

We may also collect data (some of which may be personal data) by automated means
when you call our customer service center. For instance, we may record audio of
these calls for quality control, training, security, and analytics purposes.

You have choices to limit the collection and use of some of this data as
described in the Your Personal Data Choices section of this Privacy Policy.



Data We Collect From Other Sources

We may collect personal data about you from unaffiliated sources with whom we
contract, such as product and service providers and data aggregators, as well as
from public sources or databases. We may obtain data such as your name, postal
address, telephone number, demographic data (such as age, gender, income level,
and purchasing profiles), and publicly observed data (such as activity on blogs,
videos, and other online postings). We generally use such data to identify
potential members or other individuals we try to reach as part of our non-profit
mission, to update personal data we already have about current members and other
individuals (such as an address update), or to enhance our data models.

We may also purchase or license personal data lists from unaffiliated sources
and provide access to those lists to other entities.  Although we may enhance
such lists by applying our data models (e.g., to predict behaviors or interests
of 50+ consumers), we do not contribute personal data related to AARP members,
volunteers, etc., to such lists. 

We may also work with unaffiliated websites that allow you to sign up for an
AARP membership or AARP emails directly from the third-party’s website. The
personal data you provide on such sites is governed by that site’s privacy
policy. But some or all the personal data you submit on such sites may also be
shared with AARP and will be treated by AARP under the terms of this Privacy
Policy when we receive it.

We sometimes offer opportunities for our website or app users to forward
information about or from AARP to a family member or friend through “refer a
friend” mechanisms. When an individual uses such a mechanism, we may ask that
they provide us the friend’s name and email address – as well as the
individual’s own name and email address. We will only use the friend’s personal
data to send the requested email or other information, and we may identify that
we are doing so at the other individual’s request.



Data We Combine

We may combine personal data from various sources, and may combine non-personal
data with personal data. When we do so, the combined information is treated as
personal data under this policy unless it is later de-identified or otherwise
disassociated from your personal data.

We will not collect additional personal data or use the personal data we have
collected for materially different, unrelated, or incompatible purposes without
providing you notice.



HOW WE SHARE PERSONAL DATA

We may disclose your personal data to a third-party for a business purpose or
sell your personal data (subject to your right to opt-out of those sales if you
are a California consumer; see below in Your California Privacy Rights. When we
disclose personal data for a business purpose, we enter a contract that
describes the purpose and requires the recipient to both keep that personal data
confidential and not use it for any purpose except performance of the contract.

Except as described below, we do not share your personal data with unaffiliated
entities (entities that are not owned or controlled by AARP) without your
consent. We may, however, share anonymous, de-identified, or aggregate data,
which cannot reasonably be used to identify you – even where it has been derived
from personal data.  Similarly, we may share personal data lists that we
purchase or rent from unaffiliated sources after we apply our data models as
previously described.  You may limit certain sharing of your personal data as
described below in Your Personal Data Choices. We share your personal data with
the following categories of third-parties for the following purposes:

 * Licensed Service Providers. We may share personal data with AARP Licensed
   Service Providers, which are unaffiliated entities that make available
   AARP-branded products or services (such as insurance products or financial
   services) and/or discounts (such as at hotels or restaurants) to AARP
   members. These Licensed Service Providers pay a fee for the right to use our
   brand and access our membership list and related data. These fees are used to
   support our non-profit mission. Licensed Service Providers are required to
   treat the personal data AARP provides as confidential, and to use the
   personal data only to offer, provide, maintain, and analyze the contracted
   products, services, or discounts to AARP members. Some of these Licensed
   Service Providers may collect personal data about our members through their
   own interactions with those members, and may share some or all of this data
   with AARP to help us provide more effective and personalized service. We will
   use such data in accordance with this Privacy Policy. The Licensed Service
   Providers’ own data collection and sharing practices are governed by their
   privacy policies, not this Privacy Policy. You can obtain a list of these
   Licensed Service Providers here.

 * Approved Vendors. We may share personal data with unaffiliated companies or
   individuals we hire to provide services or perform business functions on our
   behalf (such as print, mail, or email vendors; web hosting vendors; cloud
   service providers; consultants; digital advertising and analytics vendors;
   and contest or sweepstakes operators) because these vendors need access to
   the personal data to perform the functions we’ve requested of them. These
   vendors are contractually required to treat the personal data we provide as
   confidential, and to use the personal data only to provide the services we
   have requested they perform on our behalf.                                   
                                      

 * Payment Processors.  We may share your personal data with banks or other
   entities that process payment transactions or provide other
   financial services, and for fraud prevention and credit risk reduction
   purposes.  

 * Select Non-profit Organizations. We may occasionally share personal data, or
   engage in “list exchanges,” with select non-profit organizations when we
   believe such data sharing is in the best interest of our members and
   non-profit mission.
      
 *  Social Media Advertising Networks.  We may share personal data with social
   media networks to facilitate their delivery of our customized advertising or
   messages on their network. The limited personal data we provide as part of
   the networks’ custom audience programs (generally email addresses)
   facilitates the delivery of our content to the right social media user. These
   networks only use the personal data we provide to identify you for these
   purposes. The delivery of customized social media ads or other content, and
   your ability to opt-out, is governed by the privacy policies of the social
   media companies, not this Privacy Policy. 

AARP may also share your personal data with other third parties as follows:

 * Pursuant to Legal Requirements. We may disclose your personal data (1) if we
   believe we are required to do so by law, regulation or legal process, such as
   in response to a court order, subpoena, or similar investigative demand; (2)
   as we deem appropriate or necessary in response to requests for cooperation
   from a law enforcement agency, taxation authority, or other government
   agency; and (3) to defend against legal claims, exercise our legal rights, or
   as otherwise required by law.

 * To Protect Ourselves, Our Members, or Others. We may disclose your personal
   data when we believe disclosure is necessary (1) to investigate, prevent, or
   take action regarding illegal activity, suspected fraud, or other wrongdoing;
   (2) to protect and defend the rights, property, or safety of our
   organization, our members, our volunteers, our employees, our websites and
   apps users, or others; and (3) to enforce our terms and conditions or other
   agreements or policies.

 * In Connection With Business Transfers. We may disclose or transfer your
   personal data in the unlikely event of a direct or indirect reorganization
   process or negotiation involving AARP or a subsidiary (including, without
   limitation, in the event of a bankruptcy or non-bankruptcy reorganization,
   consolidation, dissolution, or liquidation), although the use of such data
   following the transfer will remain subject to the terms of this Privacy
   Policy. 




HOW WE PROTECT PERSONAL DATA

We use commercially reasonable administrative, technical, and physical security
measures designed to protect personal data against accidental, unlawful, or
unauthorized destruction, loss, alteration, access, disclosure, or use. Despite
our safeguards, however, no website, app, or information system can ever be
completely secure so we cannot guarantee that the use of our systems, websites,
or apps will be completely safe or secure. For additional information on
privacy, identity theft, and online security, please visit the U.S. Federal
Trade Commission's website.

If we learn of a security systems breach we may attempt to notify you
electronically so that you can take appropriate protective steps. By using our
websites and/or apps, or otherwise providing personal data to us, you agree that
we can communicate with you electronically regarding security, privacy and
administrative issues relating to your use of our websites and apps. We may post
a notice via our websites if a security breach occurs. We may also send an email
to you at the email address you have provided to us in these circumstances.
Depending on where you live, you may have a legal right to receive notice of a
security breach in writing.




YOUR PERSONAL DATA CHOICES



Personal Data Access

If you wish to review and/or request changes to certain personal data we have
collected about you (such as your current contact information,
username and password, or date of birth), you may do so by logging into your
AARP account on AARP.org or the AARP Now app, or by contacting us as identified
above. In some cases, you may also have a right to (i) request deletion of
certain personal data or (ii) obtain a copy of such data in an accessible
format. We will make reasonable attempts to comply with such requests where
applicable, but may refuse requests where we are otherwise legally required to
retain the data, or the requests are unreasonably repetitive, require
disproportionate technical effort, risk the privacy of others, or are
impractical.



Personal Data Sharing

If you would like to request that we no longer share personal data with AARP
Licensed Service Providers and/or unaffiliated non-profit organizations, you may
do so by completing our Privacy Opt-Out Form or by contacting us as identified
above. If you make such a request, it will not prevent such third-parties from
using any personal data we shared with them prior to completing the opt-out
process, or any data they have collected directly from you or others. 



AARP Communications

You may choose to opt-out of some or all future communications (mail, email,
phone) from AARP. You can do so by completing our Privacy Opt-Out Form or by
contacting us as identified above. For email, you can also opt-out by clicking
on the “unsubscribe” links in the footer of our emails. (Please note that when
opting-out of emails, you may still receive “transactional” emails, which
contain information you specifically request or information related to your
membership purchase or renewal.) For phone or text messages, you can also
opt-out by following the contact instructions we provide in the phone call or
replying “STOP” to any text message to which you’ve previously consented.  We
will honor your opt-out requests as soon as practical and as required by
applicable law. 



Managing Cookies

Most web browsers can be set to reject cookies or provide notice when cookies
are placed on your device. Each browser is different, so check the "Help" menu
of your browser to learn how to change your cookie preferences. Although it is
up to you whether to accept cookies from our websites, if you reject cookies,
certain functions on our sites may not work properly, and your ability to use
some areas of the websites may be limited. It is also important to note that the
opt-out mechanisms described in the Targeted Advertising section below generally
rely on cookies to retain your opt-out preferences. So if you reject or erase
cookies, your opt-out choices may not function properly.



Third-Party Analytics

Our analytics providers for websites and apps, primarily Adobe and Google
Analytics, may collect data points associated with your visits to our websites
and use of our apps in order to assist us with analyzing and assessing our
digital properties. You can, however, opt-out of certain data collection by
these analytics providers. To learn more about Adobe Analytics and how to
opt-out of their data collection, click here. To learn more about Google
Analytics and how to opt-out of their data collection, click here.

AARP participates in the Adobe Marketing Cloud Device Co-op to better understand
how you use our websites and apps across the various devices you use, and to
deliver tailored promotions. Although participation in the Co-op does not
involve sharing personal data, it does assist all participants in recognizing
various devices linked to the same person. You can learn more about how Adobe
does this and manage your choices (or opt-out) by visiting Adobe’s Device Co-op
Privacy Control website.



Targeted Advertising

We collect data (both directly and through third-parties) about your activities
on our websites and apps and may combine it with other personal data we have
about you for use in providing more customized experiences, including
advertising tailored to your individual interests. We may also share data about
activities on our websites with advertising networks administered by third
parties, which may use many of the same technologies previously discussed (such
as cookies, web beacons, and analytics tools) to track your online activities
over time and across websites. This collection and ad targeting takes place both
on our websites and apps and on third-party digital properties that participate
in those ad networks. As a result, you may see certain ads on other websites
based on prior activity on our websites and apps, and vice versa.

The Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) has created guidance for online
advertisers and provided the “AdChoices” mechanism for such advertisers to
comply with users’ choices regarding the placement of interest-based ads. By
clicking on the AdChoices icon presented in the corner of each ad served by
participants in the AdChoices program, you will be directed to a webpage to
allow opt-outs from that ad network and/or for all ad networks participating in
the AdChoices program.To learn more about ad networks, including how to opt out
of interest-based ads, click here.

We have also implemented on many of our websites a targeted ad choice tool
provided by Evidon. This tool can help you understand what data is being
collected on our websites by third-parties, and how you can control such
collection and use. On our sites where the tool has been implemented, such as on
AARP.org, you will see a reference to “AdChoices” in the webpage footer – near
the link to this Privacy Policy. By clicking on that link you will open a
browser window that identifies each entity that AARP uses to direct targeted
advertisements to you, both on AARP websites as well as on third-party sites. If
you would like to stop targeted advertising from AARP, you can manage these
advertisements through the choices presented in the Evidon Tool. You will still
see ads from AARP and the ad networks with whom we work, but they will not be
based on targeted data.

It is important to note that your choice to stop targeted advertising is
specific to the browser you are using. If you make a choice to opt-out from one
computer browser and you want your opt-out to apply to a different computer
and/or browser, you must also opt-out from that computer. It is also important
to note that most of these choices are cookie-based. If you delete cookies after
making an opt-out choice, you will need to perform the opt-out again.

You can manage targeted ads in our apps through your device operating system
settings. For iOS apps, visit the “advertising” controls in your privacy
settings. For Android apps, use the Settings App.  Both operating systems allow
you to opt-out of targeted ads and/or reset your device advertising ID.

We may also work with certain social media websites or platforms (such as
Facebook or Twitter) to serve ads to you as part of a customized social media
campaign. You can opt-out of receiving customized ads by changing your ad
preferences on those platforms, which we do not control.



Location Data

We will request your permission before our apps access precise location data for
your mobile device, generally when you first launch our apps. If you have
previously consented to our app accessing precise location information, you may
revoke that permission at any time through your device’s operating system
location preference controls. You may also stop our access to precise location
data by following the standard uninstall process to remove our apps from your
device.



Contact Us

In addition to using the mechanisms described above, you may contact us at any
time regarding these choices as follows:

 * Call us at 888-OUR-AARP (888-687-2277)

From January 1, 2020, in addition to the rights listed under Your Personal Data

• Right to know
You have the right to request information about the categories and specific
pieces of personal data we have collected about you, as well as the categories
of sources from which such information is collected, the purpose for collecting
such information, and the categories of third parties with whom we share such
information.

available on January 1, 2020.

• Right to non-discrimination
You have the right to not be discriminated against for exercising any of these
rights.

Additionally, California Civil Code Section 1798.83 permits users of the
websites and/or apps who are California residents to request, once a year,
certain information regarding our disclosure of personal data to third-parties
for their direct marketing purposes. To make such a request, please contact us
at the contact information provided below. Please be sure to put “Shine the

If you would like to exercise one or more of the rights above, please contact us
using the contact information provided above or submit your request through our

your behalf. Such authorized agent must be registered with the California
Secretary of State. We may deny a request from an agent that does not submit
proof that they have been authorized by you to act on your behalf.

We may need to confirm your verifiable consumer request before completing your
request, and, for example, may ask for you to confirm data points we already
have about you. We will only use personal data provided in a verifiable consumer
request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.




OTHER IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS



Do Not Track

We do not currently process or respond to “Do Not Track” signals from your
browser. As previously described, we do participate in online advertising
networks administered by third parties, which may track your online activities
over time and across third-party websites. You may opt-out of interest-based and
other targeted advertising as set forth above in the Targeted
Advertisingsection. However, even if you opt out of such ads, AARP may continue
to collect and use online activity data on our websites and in our apps for
other purposes.



Links to Other Websites

Our websites and apps may provide links or automatically redirect you to
third-party websites that are not controlled by AARP or governed by this Privacy
Policy. For example, if you click on an advertisement or a link for a member
benefit offered by a Licensed Service Provider, you may be redirected to a
website operated by that provider. These third-party websites may collect
personal data and other data from or about you. We are not responsible for the
content or privacy practices of any website that we do not control, and your
interactions with such websites are governed solely by the privacy policies of
the entity operating the websites, not this Privacy Policy.



Social Media

If you are logged in to your social media account or use your social media
credentials to log-in to our websites or apps, and if you use a “like” button or
similar social media feature on our website or app, those social media companies
may collect certain information about you, such as your IP address and which
pages you visit on our websites or apps. These social media features are not
operated by AARP. Your interactions with social media companies and the use of
their features are governed by the privacy policies of the social media
companies that provide those features, not this Privacy Policy.



US-Based Organization

AARP is headquartered in the United States and all of our data processing
activities occur in the United States. Any personal data you provide to us,
including through our websites and apps, will be transferred to, processed, and
stored in the United States. By providing us your personal data or using our
websites and apps, you acknowledge that the United States has standards for the
processing and storage of personal data that may not be equivalent to (and may
be less comprehensive than) those in the country where you reside and/or are a
citizen, and you consent to our collection, transfer, processing, and storage of
your personal data in the United States.



Children

Our websites and apps are not intended for use by children under the age of 13
and we do not knowingly collect personal data from such children. If a child
under the age of 13 has provided us with personal data, we ask that a parent or
guardian contact us so that the personal data can be deleted.   



Donors to AARP Foundation

When you donate to AARP Foundation, AARP’s largest affiliated charity and a
non-profit organization tax exempt under Section 501 (c)(3) of the Internal
Revenue Code, AARP Foundation collects certain personal information about you
(i.e., your name and address).  We use the personal data we collect from our
donors (“Donor Data”) to process donations or seek additional donations. Many of
our donors are also AARP members. AARP may share personal data it collects from
its members in accordance with the provisions of this Privacy Policy (see
above).

Limited Uses of Donor Data:  AARP Foundation takes your privacy very seriously. 

 * We do not share Donor Data with any unaffiliated third parties or AARP’s
   Licensed Service Providers;
 * We do not share donor lists with unaffiliated charities or outside
   organizations;
 * We do not send donor mailings on behalf of any other charities or third
   parties that are not affiliated with AARP; and
 * We do not share, rent, lease or sell Donor Data.

Limited Sharing of Personal Data for Operational Uses:  We may share Donor Data
with service providers we hire to perform business functions on our behalf,
including payment processors who process donations to AARP Foundation.  These
vendors are contractually required to treat Donor Data as confidential, and to
use such data only to provide the services AARP Foundation has requested they
perform on our behalf. We also use personal data to send requests for donations,
newsletters or periodic information and communications about our charitable work
to our donors.  We may share de-identified, aggregated data with third parties
to participate in data cooperatives to enhance our fundraising efforts.

Opt- Out and Privacy Requests:  If you have additional questions or believe you
are receiving any targeted advertising based on your status as a donor to AARP
Foundation, feel free to contact us or submit your opt-out requests to the
contact information in this Privacy Policy or through this form.



Updates

We may update this Privacy Policy at any time and without prior notice by
posting an updated Privacy Policy on our websites and in our apps.  When we do
so, we will revise the “last updated” date at the top of the Privacy Policy. If
we make material changes in the way we use and/or share your personal data, we
will attempt to notify you directly, such as by sending an email to the email
address you most recently provided to us and/or by prominently posting notice of
the changes on our websites and in our apps.
