Privacy Policy
APAT considers privacy an important issue, so we build and operate our web services
with the protection of privacy taken into account. This Privacy Policy outlines
the types of personal information we gather when you use one of APAT's web sites
and some of the steps we take to safeguard it.
These principles apply to personally identifying information we ask for and that
you provide. By this we mean information that individually identifies you, such
as your name, physical address, e-mail address or other contact details.
Data collection
Browsing of our web sites and most other services do not require any personally
identifying information.
APAT may collect limited non-personally identifying information your browser makes
available whenever you visit a website. This log information includes your Internet
Protocol address, browser type, browser language, the date and time of your query
and one or more cookies that may uniquely identify your browser. We use this information
to better understand users behavior and to further improve our offerings.
Some of our services require you to register for an account. APAT asks you for some
personal information in order to create an account and we will use that information
to provide the service. For certain services we may request credit card or other
payment information which we maintain in encrypted form on secure servers.
When we require personally identifying information, we will inform you about the
types of information we collect and how we use it. We hope this will help you make
an informed decision about sharing your personal information with us. It is then
up to you to decide if you want to provide the information or not.
Cookies
Upon your first visit to an APAT web site, a cookie is sent to your computer that
uniquely identifies your browser. A "cookie" is a small file containing a string
of characters that is sent to your computer when you visit a website. We use cookies
to improve the quality of our service and to better understand how people use our
sites. We do this by storing user preferences in cookies and by tracking user trends
and patterns of how people navigate our sites.
Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. You can reset your browser
to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, some
features or services on our sites may not function properly without cookies.
Information sharing
We do not rent or sell your personally identifying information to other companies
or individuals, unless we have your consent. We may share such information in any
of the following limited circumstances:
- We have your expressed consent.
- We provide such information to trusted businesses or persons for the sole purpose
of processing your request on our behalf. When this is done, it is subject to agreements
that oblige those parties to process such information only on our instructions and
in compliance with this Privacy Policy and appropriate confidentiality and security
measures.
- We conclude that we are required by law or have a good faith belief
that access, preservation or disclosure of such information is reasonably necessary
to protect the rights, property or safety of APAT, its users or the public.
If you have an account, we may share the information submitted under your account
among all of our services as well as distributors and channel partners to the extent
necessary to provide you with a seamless experience and to improve the quality of
our services. We will not disclose your account information to other people or non-affiliated
companies, except in the limited circumstances described in this Policy or with
your consent.
We may store and process personal information collected on our site in any country
in which APAT or our hosting providers maintain facilities. By using our services,
you consent to the transfer of your information among these facilities, including
those located outside your country.
In the event of a transfer of ownership of parts of APAT Ltd., such as acquisition
by or merger with another company, we will provide notice and ask for your consent
before any personally identifying information is transferred and thereby becomes
subject to a different privacy policy.
We may share aggregated information with others. Examples of this include user trends
or the number of users who accessed a particular part of APAT's web presence. This
aggregated information does not include any personally identifying information.
Information security
We take appropriate security measures to protect against unauthorized access to
or unauthorized alteration, disclosure or destruction of data.
We restrict access to your personally identifying information to APAT employees
who need to know that information in order to full fill your request or supply our
services.
Updating your information
We provide mechanisms for updating and correcting your personally identifying information
for many of our services. For more information, please see the help pages for each
service.
Links
The external sites linked to from the APAT web sites are developed by people over
whom APAT exercises no control. These other sites may place their own cookies on
your computer, collect data or solicit personal information.
Changes to this Policy
Please note this Privacy Policy will change from time to time. We expect most such
changes to be minor, but there may be changes that are more significant.
Regardless, we will post those changes on this page and, if the changes are significant,
we will also provide a more prominent notice. Each version will be noted at the
top of the page. Prior versions of this Privacy Policy will be kept in an archive
for you to view.
