PRIVACY POLICY


GENERAL STATEMENT OF PRIVACY

API is committed to respecting your privacy.  This privacy policy describes the
information we collect from you, and how we use, share and protect that
information.


AUTOMATIC COLLECTION OF INFORMATION

Our web servers automatically capture certain information including, but not
limited to, your IP address or mobile device identifier, the domain name of the
web page from which you entered our site, the pages that you visit on our site,
the click-through rates, and the amount of time that you spend here. However,
this information does not identify you to us. We may use and analyze this data
for analytics, trends and to improve our site. If we share any of this
information with third parties, it will be provided in aggregate form only so
that it does not identify any individual user.


INFORMATION YOU PROVIDE

If you request information from API or engage in similar activities on this
website, you may be required to submit personal information to API. This
information will include data such as your name and contact information that is
needed to respond to your inquiries. If you choose not to provide the
information that is requested by API, you may continue to visit the site, but
you may be unable to access certain offers, services or secure pages.


CONTENT YOU PROVIDE

To the extent that the website provides any bulletin boards or other open
forums, you understand and agree that API is not responsible for any information
that you provide on these platforms and recognize that others may collect and
use any information that you provide.


HOW WE USE INFORMATION

We use your information to respond to requests for information you may provide
to us; to inform you about our services and relevant information in the
industries we serve; to let you know about events; or for other purposes with
your consent. 


HOW WE SHARE INFORMATION

API may share your information with service providers and vendors that help us
administer this site and respond to inquiries, but these service providers and
vendors are not permitted to use your data for any purpose unrelated to
providing these services.  We also may share your information with trusted third
parties for limited purposes.

API also may provide personal information to law enforcement authorities or
otherwise when API believes that this release of information is necessary: (1)
to comply with legal requirements or comply with legal process; (2) to protect
and defend the rights or property of API and its members and customers; or (3)
to protect the other users of the site or the public. 

If we make a sale or transfer of assets, or are otherwise involved in a merger
or transfer, we may transfer your information to one or more third parties as
part of that transaction.  Finally, in addition to the sharing described in this
privacy policy, we may share information about you with other third parties when
you consent to such sharing.


PRIVACY WITH RESPECT TO MINORS

API does not knowingly collect or use information from children under the age of
16 without the consent of a parent or guardian, except as permitted by law.


COOKIES AND “DO NOT TRACK” SIGNALS

When you visit our website, we may place a cookie on your computer that will
allow us to track your visit to our site and help us to improve the site.
Cookies are files that websites send to your computer or other
Internet-connected device to uniquely identify your browser or to store
information or settings on your device.

Our website is not designed to respond to “do not track” signals from browsers.
Your browser may tell you how to be notified when you receive certain types of
cookies and how to restrict or disable certain cookies. Please note, however,
that without cookies you may not be able to use all of the features of our
websites.


OTHER WEBSITES AND LINKS

This website contains links to other websites and may provide integration with
social media platforms. If you choose to use any of these links or this
integration, you will be leaving the API website and going to a website that is
not controlled by us. Protection of your privacy at these linked sites will be
governed by the privacy policy at that site. You should take the time to read
the privacy policies at these sites. We are not responsible for the privacy
practices of such sites or the use of any information that you provide.


SECURITY

We use physical, technical and administrative measures to protect your
information against loss, theft and unauthorized use, disclosure or
modification.  While we strive to protect the information we maintain, we cannot
ensure or warrant the security of any information that you transmit to us since
no method of data transmission or storage is 100% secure.


EMAIL

It is your right to stop receiving email any time you choose and to only receive
relevant and wanted email communications. You can unsubscribe from our email
list at any time and for any reason by clicking on the unsubscribe list on any
email you have received from us.


EUROPEAN VISITORS

Legal Grounds.  We will process your personal data (1) with your consent; (2) to
perform a contract between you and us, such as a request for information; (3) to
comply with a legal obligation; or (4) where we have a legitimate interest to do
so, including responding to your requests.

Retention.  We will retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil
the purposes for which it was collected and processed, including for the
purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, accounting or reporting
requirements.  We generally retain data for three years, unless we have
legitimate grounds to retain it for a longer period of time.  In some
circumstances we may anonymize your personal data so that it can no longer be
associated with you, in which case it is no longer personal data.  Upon
expiration of the applicable retention period we will securely destroy your
personal data in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.


INTERNATIONAL USERS

The information you submit to us or that we obtain as a result of your use of
our website may be collected in your country and subsequently transferred to the
United States. U.S. law may offer different levels of protection for information
than may be available in your country. By using this website, you consent to the
collection, international transfer, storage, and processing of your information.


CHANGES TO POLICY

This policy may change over time. Your continued use of the site after these
changes are posted constitutes your agreement to the changes with regard to
information collected.
