Data Collection

As a visitor, you may use the Website without providing any personal information. This Website collects only personal information that has been clearly and voluntarily provided by visitors. Such information may include, but is not limited to: your name, current position, business address, email address, phone number, and fax number.

We may also store and maintain content you provide, such as posts on blogs, forums, wikis, and other social media applications and services that we may provide.

We do not collect sensitive personal data, such as information regarding visitors’ race or ethnic origin, religious beliefs, criminal history, physical or mental health, or sexual orientation. If necessary, we will ask for your explicit consent to collect and use such data.

Log data, cookies, and web beacons

This Website collects standard internet log data, such as your IP address, browser type and language, time of access, and referring website addresses. To ensure proper management of this Website and to make navigation as easy as possible, we or our service providers may use cookies (small text files stored in a user’s browser) or web beacons (electronic images that allow this Website to count how many visitors have viewed a specific page and to access certain cookies) to collect aggregate data. Additional information about how we use cookies and other tracking technologies, and how you can control them, is provided in our cookie notice.

Use of Data

You may provide personal data through this Website, for example, to access specific content, to attend an event through this Website, to respond to a survey, or to request communications regarding a specific area of interest. In such cases, the information you provide will be used to fulfill your request and to tailor and improve this Website and related services provided to you. We may also use your personal data for marketing purposes, or to send you promotional materials or messages about services provided by entities within the AP network, if we believe they may be of interest to you. We may also contact you to request feedback on services provided by entities within the AP network or for market or other research purposes.

Your personal data may also be used to protect our rights and property, as well as those of our users, and, if necessary, to comply with legal proceedings.

Disclosure of information to third parties

We may share your personal data with other entities within the AP network so that you can receive information or goods that may be of interest to you, and to conduct market or other research. Personal data may also be shared with other entities within the AP network and others in order to fulfill your requests.

Although we may provide visitor-related information to service providers who process this information on our behalf, we do not typically share this information with third parties or other entities within the AP network for secondary or unrelated purposes, unless such sharing was disclosed at the time of collection.

However, personal data may be transferred across borders to other entities within the AP network or to third parties for the purposes described above. This also means that personal data may be transferred to countries or regions that do not have data protection laws equivalent to the protection enjoyed by the website visitor in their country of origin. Nevertheless, we will always take appropriate measures in this regard to ensure that, in situations where such a transfer of data occurs, it is always carried out in a manner that ensures an “adequate level of protection.”
