Use of Cookies

The APAP Website uses "Cookies" and remarketing pixels to help you personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.

One of the primary purposes of Cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize APAP pages, or register with APAP Website or services, a cookie helps APAP recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the same APAP Website, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the APAP features that you customized.

You have the ability to accept or decline Cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept Cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline Cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline Cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the APAP services or Websites you visit.

Your contact information is also made available to other APAP members, and each member has control over what information is made available. From time to time, we contact you on behalf of external business partners about a particular offering that may be of interest to you.

Where we store your Personal Data

The Personal Data that you provide to us is generally stored on servers located in the United States. If you are located in another jurisdiction, you should be aware that once your Personal Data is submitted through our Website, it will be transferred to our servers in the United States and that the United States currently does not have uniform data protection laws in place.

APAP secures your personal information from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. APAP secures the personally identifiable information you provide on computer servers in a controlled, secure environment, protected from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. When personal information (such as a credit card number) is transmitted to other Websites, it is protected through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.

Transfer of Personal Data outside of the European Economic Area (“EEA”) and International Users

We are headquartered in the United States. Your Personal Data may be accessed by APAP or transferred to us in the United States or to our affiliates, partners, merchants, or service providers who may be located in the U.S. or worldwide. If you are visiting our Websites from outside the United States, be aware that your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States where our servers are located, and our central database is operated. By using our Service, you consent to any transfer of this information.

How long we keep your Personal Data

We do not store the Personal Data for longer than is legally permitted and necessary for the related processing purposes. The storage period depends on the type of Personal Data, the purposes and the applicable law and therefore varies per use.

Typically, we store User’s Personal Data for as long as the User is using our Services or for as long as we have another purpose to do so and, thereafter, for no longer than is required or permitted by law or necessary for internal reporting and reconciliation purposes.

We erase Personal Data after the above described storage period or when the User requests us to erase his/her Personal Data.

Security

Although APAP uses security measures to help protect your Personal Data against loss, misuse or unauthorized disclosure, we cannot guarantee the security of information transmitted to us over the internet. All information you provide to us is stored on secure servers. Any payment transactions will be encrypted using SSL technology.
