APS is committed to protecting your privacy. Simply
visiting the APS websites does not require you to reveal
personal information. But if you ask us for information,
order goods or services, register with us, use our
services or report a problem, we collect personal information
(your name, organisation and contact details) you submit to us and details of the
service transactions between
you and us. In addition, we store information you may
give us about your interests, or we may learn about these
from your use of our goods and services. This statement
explains how we use the information that you give us.
Whenever you give us personal data via our website, you
are consenting to its collection and use in accordance
with our privacy policy. Please do not send us any
information about anyone else
without their permission.
Uses made of information
collected
• to provide
you with goods and services;
• for customer
administration;
• for mailing
information to you about our other goods and services
in which you
may be interested,including our brochures,
sample reports
and our newsletter;
• to provide,
on request, personalised computer-generated reports through
on-line
assessment services;
• to personalise
our service to you;
• to seek
your views on products and services.
We also:
•
use data
collected through on-line assessment services to produce

(In both these cases, the data is used only in an anonymous
form; no individual is identified.)
We DO NOT:

Right to opt out of direct
communications

Please note, however, that occasionally we may need to
communicate with you for administrative or operational
reasons.
*Cookies
‘Cookies’ are pieces of information
stored by a user’s web browser and stored on your
hard drive, which help to identify the user when he or
she visits a particular web page; this enables the visit
to be personalised, e.g. to simplify the login process
for registered users. The APS website uses cookies, but
it is possible to turn off the cookie function (see the
Help menu on your browser for details). However, if you
do this, it will restrict the services you can use or
our site may not work as well as we intend.
We only use cookies to give us information about the number
of visitors to different parts of our website – we
do not use them to identify you as an individual, but
only to enhance your visit to our site.
Security and disclosure
We are committed to ensuring the security and integrity
of personal information that we hold and have put in place
appropriate technical and organisational safeguards to
ensure this. We welcome updates at any time from our clients
and enquirers relating to information that we hold about
them.
We will not disclose your personal information to third
parties except:
• as necessary
to fulfil your order(s) for our goods and services
• to suppliers
that process data on our behalf;
• in response
to an expressed client need or request;
• where we
believe, in good faith, that it is necessary to comply
with the
law or to protect the safety of APS, our customers
or their clients, or the public.
(Some of these third parties may be located outside the
European Economic Area.)
We may also provide your personal data to anyone to whom
our business or business assets are transferred.
We may use and disclose aggregated and anonymised information
for marketing, product development, strategic or research
purposes. In such data, no individual customer will be
identifiable.
As with all electronic communication, when you give us
personal data by that means, the data may be sent electronically
to servers anywhere in the world and may be used, stored
and processed anywhere in the world, including countries
outside the European Economic Area (many of whom do not
have stringent data protection laws).
Whenever and wherever we collect, process or use personal
data, we take steps to ensure that it is treated securely
and in accordance with our privacy policy.
