Terms of Use

(Effective March 1, 2021)

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING TERMS OF USE CAREFULLY:

You have reached a website owned and operated by American Assets Trust, Inc. (collectively, including its affiliates and subsidiaries, “AAT”, or “we”, or “us”, or “our”). By accessing and using our website and related links (“Website”), you agree to be bound to the following terms of use (“Terms of Use”).

For details on what personal information we collect and for what purposes, and your privacy right and how to exercise them, please scroll down to “California Privacy Notice”.

Securities of American Assets Trust, Inc.

AAT is not providing investment advice through this Website. The material on this Website should not be regarded as an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, any securities of AAT. If you decide to use any material available on this Website in assessing whether to buy or sell securities of AAT, please be aware that the material on this Website reflects past performance and historical information only and that such performance and information is not necessarily an indication of future performance.

Forward Looking Statements

AAT cautions you that this Website may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws, which are based on current expectations, forecasts and assumptions that involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual outcomes and results to differ materially. Forward-looking statements relate to expectations, beliefs, projections, future plans and strategies, anticipated events or trends and similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “"expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” or “potential” or the negative of these words and phrases or similar words or phrases which are predictions of or indicate future events or trends and which do not relate solely to historical matters. While forward-looking statements reflect AAT’s good faith beliefs, assumptions and expectations, they are not guarantees of future performance. For a further discussion of these and other factors that could cause the AAT's future results to differ materially from any forward-looking statements, see the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the AAT’s annual report and other risks described in documents subsequently filed by the AAT from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission. AAT disclaims any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement to reflect changes in underlying assumptions or factors, of new information, data or methods, future events or other changes.

Privacy Policy

AAT respects the privacy of information that we obtain from visitors to this Website. It is our intention to balance our legitimate business interests in collecting and using information received from and about our visitors with their reasonable expectations of privacy.

California Privacy Notice

This notice reflects our good faith understanding of the law and our data practices as of the effective date posted (set forth above), but the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) implementing regulations are not yet final and there remain differing interpretations of the law. Accordingly, we may from time-to-time update information in this and other notices regarding our data practices and your rights, modify our methods for responding to your requests, and/or supplement our response to your requests, as we continue to develop our compliance program to reflect the evolution of the law and our understanding of how it relates to our data practices.

This California Privacy Notice (“Notice”) applies to “Consumers” as defined by the CCPA as a supplement to American Assets Trust, Inc.’s (collectively, including its affiliates and subsidiaries, “AAT”, or “Company” or “we”, or “us”, or “our”) other privacy policies or notices. In the event of a conflict between any other Company policy, statement or notice including, without limitation, the Terms of Use, and this Notice, this Notice will prevail as to California Consumers and their rights under the CCPA. Please see also any privacy policy or notice of general applicability posted or referenced on our websites, leases, community handbooks and properties including, without limitation, www.americanassetstrust.com.

This Notice covers the collection, use, disclosure, and sale of California Consumers’ “Personal Information” (or “PI”) as defined by the CCPA, except to the extent such PI is exempt from the notice obligations of the CCPA. This Notice also covers rights California Consumers have under the CCPA, as well other notices to Californians required by other laws. The description of our data practices in this Notice, as required by the CCPA, covers calendar year 2020 and will be updated at least annually. Our practices in calendar year 2020 and beyond may change, however, if materially different such that we think a Consumer would reasonably expect notice we will provide notice in connection with the applicable collection, which may include reference to other applicable privacy policies and notices.

Consistent with the CCPA, job applicants, current and former employees and independent contractors (“Personnel”), and subjects of certain business-to-business communications acting solely in their capacity as representatives of another business, are not considered “Consumers” for purposes of this California Privacy Notice or the rights described herein. Publicly available information is also not treated as PI under the CCPA, so this notice is not intended to apply to that data and your Consumer privacy rights do not apply to that data.

Terms defined in the CCPA that are used in this Notice shall have the same meaning as in the CCPA.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in our other privacy notices, we typically restrict use of your PI that is governed by the CCPA’s Consumer rights provisions and is shared with our vendors for business purposes.

Sale

We do not believe that in 2019 we sold PI and we do not intend to sell PI in 2020, as defined under the CCPA. However, there is not yet a consensus on what the term “sell” means under the CCPA and we may revisit this conclusion as the law evolves. If you direct us to share PI we may, and that is not a sale. We do not treat disclosures required by applicable law to be made, such as to the government, to be sales. Also, disclosures amongst the entities that constitute Company as defined above are not a sale. For more information on how we interpret the term “sale” under the CCPA, including regarding cookies on our web site, see the Do Not Sell section in the California Privacy Rights notice below. In addition, for more information about cookies and ways you can exercise preferences with respect to cookies, including certain types of interest-based advertising, see the Cookies section of our Privacy Policy above.

California Privacy Rights

We provide California Consumers the privacy rights described in this section. You have the right to exercise these rights via an authorized agent who meets the agency requirements of the CCPA and related regulations. As permitted by the CCPA, any request you submit to us is subject to an identification and residency verification process (“Verifiable Consumer Request”), which will be further explained as part of the request process. We will not fulfill your CCPA request unless you have provided sufficient information for us to reasonably verify you are the Consumer about whom we collected PI. Please follow the instructions on Appendix I “Consumer Rights Request Form” attached hereto and respond to any follow up inquires we may make. You may also obtain information on how to make, and may submit, a request by asking a manager at any of our multifamily leasing offices.

Some PI we maintain about Consumers is not sufficiently associated with enough PI about the Consumer for us to be able to verify that it is a particular Consumer’s PI when a Consumer request that requires verification pursuant to the CCPA’s verification standards is made (e.g., clickstream data tied only to a pseudonymous browser ID). As required by the CCPA we do not include that PI in response to those requests. If we cannot comply with a request, we will explain the reasons in our response. You are not required to create an account with us to make a Verifiable Consumer Request, but you may use your account to do so. We will use PI provided in a Verifiable Consumer Request only to verify your identity or authority to make the request and to track and document request responses, unless you also gave it to us for another purpose.

We will make commercially reasonable efforts to identify Consumer PI that we collect, process, store, disclose and otherwise use and to respond to your California Consumer privacy rights requests. In some cases, particularly with voluminous and/or typically irrelevant data, we may suggest that you receive the most recent or a summary of your PI and give you the opportunity to elect whether you want the rest or not. We reserve the right to direct you to where you may access and copy responsive PI yourself. We will typically not charge a fee to fully respond to your requests; provided, however, that we may charge a reasonable fee, or refuse to act upon a request, if your request is excessive, repetitive, unfounded or overly burdensome. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, or that we may refuse it, we will give you notice explaining why we made that decision. You will be provided a cost estimate and the opportunity to accept such fees before we will charge you for responding to your request.

Consistent with the CCPA and our interest in the security of your PI, we will not deliver to you your Social Security number, driver’s license number or other government-issued ID number, financial account number, an account password, or security questions or answers in response to a CCPA request; however, you may be able to access some of this information yourself through your account if you have an active account with us.

Your California Consumer privacy rights are as follows:

o The categories of third parties to which we sold PI, by categories of PI sold for each third party.

To make a request, please follow the instructions on Appendix I “Consumer Rights Request Form” attached hereto or call us at (858) 350-2222. If you are disabled and need reasonable accommodations to facilitate your request, please let us know. As permitted by the CCPA, any request you submit to us is subject to an identification and verification process. We will verify your identity based on matching information you provided with data we have maintained on you in our systems. This data could include, but is not limited to, email address, mailing address, phone number, date of birth, address of an AAT apartment in which you live or address of an AAT office or retail space leased to you, had lived or desired to live, apartment number, lease start date, and date on which you first contacted us. If we are not satisfied that we have sufficiently verified your identity, we may direct you to this Notice for information on our PI practices generally. For your specific pieces of information, as required by the CCPA, we will apply the heightened verification standards set forth in subsection (ii) below.

Please note that PI is retained by us for various time periods, so we may not be able to fully respond to what might be relevant going back 12 months prior to the request date.

Obtaining Copies of PI

You have the right to make or obtain a transportable copy, no more than twice in a twelve-month period, of your PI that we have collected and are maintaining in the period that is 12 months prior to the request date. To make a request, please follow the instructions on Appendix I “Consumer Rights Request Form” attached hereto or call us at (858) 350-2222. If you are disabled and need reasonable accommodations to facilitate your request, please let us know. As permitted by the CCPA, any request you submit to us is subject to an identification and verification process. We will verify identity based on matching information you provided with data we have maintained on you in our systems and we require that at least three of the data elements you provide match to data we already maintain on you. This data could include, but is not limited to, email address, mailing address, phone number, date of birth, address of an AAT apartment for which you live, had lived or desired to live, apartment number, or address of an AAT office or retail space leased to you, lease start date, and date for which you first contacted us. If we are not satisfied that we have sufficiently verified your identity, we may direct you to this Notice for information on our PI practices generally.

Please note that PI is retained by us for various time periods, so we may not be able to fully respond to what might be relevant going back 12 months prior to the request.

Do Not Sell

We do not believe that we sell your PI as defined under the CCPA, and until such time as we change this policy by updating this Privacy Notice, will treat PI collected under that policy as subject to a do not sell request. How we do so will depend on how the law evolves regarding what is and is not a “sale” under the CCPA. For instance, while there is not yet a consensus and although we think otherwise, data practices of third-party cookies and tracking devices associated with our websites and mobile apps may potentially be determined to constitute a “sale” of your PI as defined by the CCPA.

We do not currently provide a “do not sell” optout for cookies, but you can exercise control over browser-based cookies by adjusting the settings on your browser. In addition, third party tools enable you to search for and opt-out of some of these devices. Further, you can learn more about your choices regarding certain kinds of online interest-based advertising in our Terms of Use. We do not represent that these third-party tools, programs or statements are complete or accurate. For more information on cookies and other tracking technologies that may be associated with our web sites, and ways you may exercise preferences regarding them, see our Terms of Use.

We may disclose your PI for the following purposes, which are not a sale: (i) if you direct us to share your PI; (ii) to comply with your requests under the CCPA; (iii) disclosures amongst the entities that constitute Company as defined above, or as part of a merger or asset sale; and (iv) as otherwise required or permitted by applicable law.

Delete

Except to the extent we have a basis for retention under CCPA, you may request that we delete your PI that we have collected directly from you and are maintaining. Our retention rights include, without limitation, to complete transactions and service you have requested or that are reasonably anticipated, for security purposes, for legitimate internal business purposes, including maintaining business records, to comply with law, to exercise or defend legal claims, and to cooperate with law enforcement. Note also that we are not required to delete your PI that we did not collect directly from you. To make a request, please follow the instructions on Appendix I “Consumer Rights Request Form” attached hereto or call us at (858) 350-2222. If you are disabled and need reasonable accommodations to facilitate your request, please let us know. As permitted by the CCPA, any request you submit to us is subject to an identification and verification process. We will verify identity based on matching information you provided with data we have maintained on you in our systems and we require that at least three of the data elements you provide match to data we already maintain on you. This data could include, but is not limited to, email address, mailing address, phone number, date of birth, address of an AAT apartment in which you live, had lived or desired to live, apartment number, or address of an AAT office or retail space leased to you, lease start date, and date on which you first contacted AAT. If we are not satisfied that we have sufficiently verified your identity, we may direct you to this Notice for information on our PI practices generally.

However, you may alternatively exercise more limited control of your PI by instead exercising one of the following more limited opt-outs: opting out of marketing communications, editing your personal information associated with your AAT prospect account or deleting that account, or by follow the instructions on Appendix I “Consumer Rights Request Form” attached hereto.

Non-Discrimination and Financial Incentive Programs

We will not discriminate against you in a manner prohibited by the CCPA because you exercise your CCPA rights. We do not currently offer financial incentive programs or charge a different price or rate, or offer a different level or quality of good or service that relates to your data. If this policy changes, the material aspects of that policy will be explained and described in its program terms in accordance with the CCPA.

Authorized Agents

You may designate an agent to exercise your CCPA rights on your behalf. To exercise your rights via an agent, your agent must (1) show proof of power of attorney; or (2) submit a written authorization of his or her authority to act on your behalf. Once such authorization is submitted, you will receive an email at your email address asking you to verify the agent’s authority to submit a Consumer Rights Request on your behalf, and, unless your agent has power of attorney, to verify yourself. If you are an authorized agent making a request, please follow the instructions on Appendix II “Consumer Rights Request Form for Agents” attached hereto.

Limitation on Rights

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, we may collect, use and disclose your PI as required or permitted by applicable law and this may override your CCPA rights. In addition, we need not honor any of your requests to the extent that doing so would infringe upon our or any other person or party’s rights or conflict with applicable law.

Additional California Notices

In addition to CCPA rights, certain Californians are entitled to certain other notices, including:

Third Party Marketing and Your California Privacy Rights

Separate from your CCPA “Do Not Sell” rights you have the following additional rights regarding disclosure of your information to third parties for their own direct marketing purposes:

We provide qualifying California residents with the option to opt-in or opt-out to sharing of “personal information” as defined by California’s “Shine the Light” law with third parties, for such third parties’ own direct marketing purposes. California residents may exercise that opt-out, and/or request information about our compliance with the Shine the Light law, and obtain a disclosure of third parties we have shared information with in accordance with the law for their direct marketing purposes absent your choice and the categories of information shared, by contacting us This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or by sending a letter to us at American Assets Trust, Inc., Attention Legal Department, 3420 Carmel Mountain Road, Suite 100, San Diego, CA 92121. Requests must include “California Privacy Rights Request” in the first line of the description and include your name, street address, city, state, and ZIP code. Please note that we are only required to respond to one request per customer each year.

As these rights and your CCPA rights are not the same and exist under different laws, you must exercise your rights under each law separately.
