AAPT takes reasonable steps to preserve the security of cookie and personal information in accordance with the AAPT website terms of use and this security and privacy statement. If your browser is suitably configured, it will advise you whether the information you are sending us will be secure (encrypted) or not secure (unencrypted). AAPT regularly reviews developments in security and encryption technologies. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed as totally secure. Accordingly, although AAPT strives to protect such information, AAPT cannot guarantee, ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmitto us or from our online products or services and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we take the necessary encryption steps to preserve the security of the information in our own systems.
The information that AAPT collects about you is dependent on how you use the facilities offered by the AAPT website. If you visit an unsecure area of the AAPT website (that is, an area where you are not required to log on) to read, browse or download information, our system will record the date and time of your visit to our site, the pages viewed and any information downloaded. However, our systems will not record any personally identifiable information. If you use any of the tools we provide we generally do not capture any personal information that you may enter when using these tools. An exception to this is when a tool such as a checkout allows you to suspend or save your address and retrieve the details at a later time. In that case the information is stored on our systems so that you may recover the information when you resume your activity.
AAPT will not ask you to disclose sensitive information (as defined by law) during you visit, but if you elect to provide sensitive information it will also be captured and stored. Sensitive information, as defined by law, is any information about a person’s racial or ethnic origin, political opinion, membership of a political association, religious beliefs or affiliations, philosophical beliefs, membership of a professional or trade association, membership of a trade union, sexual preferences or practices, criminal record or health information.
