In areas of the AAM website that may be of particular interest to children, we will use our best efforts not to collect personal information from those identifying themselves as under age 18. AAM encourages parents to take an active role in their children’s use of the Internet and to spend time online with their children. If you believe that your child has submitted personal information to AAM inadvertently, we will delete all such information from our database at your request.
