Privacy Policy - The APPI.org Commitment to You
At APPI.org, we take your privacy concerns very seriously. We are
committed to protecting your personal information at all times.
We appreciate that you provide us with your personal data. By sharing
this information with us, you allow us to personalize and improve

Except for the purposes indicated in this Privacy Policy, we will

What Personal Information Does APPI.org Collect?
We collect personal information such as your name, address, credit
card information, etc., which allows APPI.org to recognize you and
complete your transactions. Some information is necessary to successfully
complete a transaction; other, non-essential information is voluntary.
Below you'll find a list of the personal information we collect
from you, and a brief description of how that information is used
at APPI.org:
- Transaction Information
At APPI.org it is necessary for us to obtain transaction information from you in order to complete your purchase, including your name, contact information, and credit card data. This information is stored with each transaction and shared with the appropriate third parties facilitating the transaction (for example, credit card authorization companies). We will provide only the information necessary to ensure your order is finalized. In compliance with the PCI Data Security Standard we do not retain any credit card information after the transaction is completed.
- Customer Service Communications
Sometimes it is necessary for us to contact you regarding the status of your order or subscription. When you provide your email with your transaction, you will only receive emails about your orders or subscriptions (for example, titles on backorder, information on how to access online subscriptions, and tracking information). You will not be sent promotional emails. To receive promotional emails you must opt-in at: http://www.appi.org/email/secureform.cfm.
- Promotional Emails and Newsletters
These email alerts send information about new titles, important information, and free content. You will only receive this email if you opt-in. You can opt-in at: http://www.appi.org/email/secureform.cfm.
- Customer Profile Information
When you sign up for email notification at APPI.org, we will ask
you to provide us with your name and email address. You can also
provide us with optional information such as areas of interest
and occupation. We will use your customer profile information
to tailor your email newsletter to your unique preferences.
- Usage Tracking Information
APPI.org servers collect software client information, such as
IP addresses, browser versions, operating systems, and pages accessed
during APPI.org sessions. This information is used in an aggregated
form (e.g. number of pages accessed) to view site usage patterns,
and is not tied with any of the other personal data you have provided
to APPI.org.

carefully screened vendors. Because these vendors may a have slightly
different privacy policy, please be sure to review our partners'
privacy policy before providing them any personal information.
Personal Information Security
We are dedicated to providing a safe and secure online shopping
environment. We use technology which encrypts your information (name,
address, credit card number, etc.) before it is transferred across
the Internet from your computer to our secure server. This ensures
that all your personal information is protected at all times.

time with no advance notice. If we decide to change our privacy
policy, we will post all changes on the APPI.org homepage. We want
to ensure that you are always aware of what information we collect,
how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose
it.
