APA uses information as part of its education campaign and to further its mission. Information may be used for those purposes in media – both traditional and social media. We only collect, use and disclose personal information which is necessary for us to provide the services offered to you through this Website and to enhance our relationship with our users, as well as to enhance the services we offer to our users. We will take reasonable steps to ensure that you are aware of the purposes for which we use personal information, except where our collection or disclosure of personal information is required by law.

Consent
We will share your personal information with third parties when you consent or direct APA to share such information.
Providing Services
We may share personal information with third parties only where disclosure is necessary for APA to effectively provide services to users, to improve existing services or to extend new service offerings. For example, APA may use your information as journalistic or photographic content to inspire members of the broader organization – through social media or traditional media campaigns. APA may disclose your personal information to a service provider in connection with the provision of IT or other support services. We may use your personal information to inform you of new initiatives or updates concerning APA which may be of interest to you. In addition, we provide certain services through links to payment and social media websites. In connection with these services, certain information may be sent to those third parties.
Internal Analysis and Operations
We collect information when you visit our Website such as the number of users, pages accessed and the date and time of visits. APA collects this information for statistical purposes, and analysis allows us to provide you with an improved service when you revisit our Website. We may outsource some or all of these tasks and disclose personal information about you to third parties, provided the use and disclosure of your personal information by these third parties is restricted to performance of such tasks. We may also share personal information with third party vendors who assist us in performing internal functions necessary to operate our business. We require our third party vendors to keep such information confidential and to only use the information for the purpose it was provided.

We do not use cookies to read any data or files in your computer. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually configure your browser to prevent that.
Compliance with Law; Enforcement of Policies
In addition, we reserve the right to disclose any content, records or electronic communication of any kind including without limitation personal information or the content of any “Contact Us” messages received from you: (i) to satisfy any law, regulation, or government request; (ii) if such disclosure is necessary to operate our business; or (iii) to protect the rights, property or safety of APA or its users, sponsors, providers, licensors or merchants, which may include the enforcement of the Privacy Policy or any other policies or agreements.

Security
APA uses a range of security measures to protect the confidentiality and security of the information we collect online. However, no data transmission over the internet is completely secure.
