Fulfillment of Service Requests with Our Business Partners. AAPA may share information with our business partners to fulfill services provided to you, for legislative and regulatory purposes, and/or to provide our business partners an opportunity to offer products or services that may be of interest to you, which helps contribute non-dues revenue to AAPA 

We may share your personal information with companies (including our affiliates and partners) that perform services on our behalf, for example, companies that help process credit card payments. Our service providers are required by contract to protect the confidentiality of the personal information we share with them and to use it only to provide specific services on our behalf.  
 
Your personal information may be transferred to another entity (either an affiliated entity or an unrelated third party) in connection with a merger, reorganization, dissolution or similar corporate event. If such a transfer were ever to occur, the acquiring entity’s use of your personal information will still be subject to this Privacy Policy.  
 
We may disclose the personal information we collect through the Site, when we, in good faith, believe disclosure is appropriate to comply with the law (or a court order or subpoena); to prevent or investigate a possible crime, such as fraud or identity theft; to enforce our Terms and Conditions or other agreements that govern your use of the Site; or to protect the rights, property or safety of our company, our users or others. 

We are not responsible for the content of external Internet sites. You are advised to read the privacy policy of external sites before disclosing any personal information. 

A “cookie” is a small data text file that is placed in your browser and allows us to recognize you each time you visit this site (personalization, etc). Cookies themselves do not contain any personal information, and we do not use cookies to collect personal information. Cookies may also be used by third party content providers such as newsfeeds. The Site does not respond to “do not track” and similar signals from browsers. 

We do not collect personal data from any person we know to be under the age of 13.   

Your California Privacy Rights. Under California Civil Code Section 1798.83, Californians are entitled to request information relating to whether a business has disclosed personal data to any third parties for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes. Californians who wish to request further information about our compliance with this statute or who have questions more generally about our Privacy Policy and our privacy commitments to our customers and Site users should not hesitate to contact AAPA at [email protected], 2318 Mill Road, Suite 1300, Alexandria, VA 22314, 703-836-2272.   

The Site is designed for use by individuals in the United States. Users from other countries are advised not to disclose personal information unless they consent to having their information transferred to the United States under the protections afforded by United States law, which the European Union has deemed not to provide adequate data protection. You should not share any personal information or otherwise use our Site unless you agree to be bound by this Privacy Policy and applicable United States law.  You may not use this Site if it is illegal to do so in your home jurisdiction. 

While we do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of any information that you transmit to us and you are solely responsible for maintaining the secrecy of any passwords or other account information. In addition, other Internet sites or services that may be accessible through our Site have separate data and privacy practices independent of us, and therefore we disclaim any responsibility or liability for their policies or actions. Please contact those vendors and others directly if you have any questions about their privacy policies.   

If you have any questions, concerns or disputes about personal data or for any other information please contact us at [email protected] or by telephone at 703-836-2272 (option 1).
