This Privacy Policy ("Policy") describes how APS Technology, Inc., together with its subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively "APS"), collects and uses personal data through APS's Web Site located at www.aps-tech.com ("Site"). Please be aware that by using this Site you agree to this Policy and consent to the fact that APS stores information detailed below in the United States. APS may revise this Policy from time to time. If for any reason you do not agree or cannot comply with this Policy, you are not entitled to use this Site or avail yourself of any of its information or materials.

Information APS Collects

Through this Site, APS gathers Personal Information ("PI") and Usage Data ("UD") from visitors to the Site ("Users"). PI includes information that identifies a person such as a name, company, address, telephone number, and email address. UD includes information that does not identify a specific person, but a User's IP address, computer type, and Internet browser.

A User is not required to provide any PI when visiting this Site, but may voluntarily do so when entering information on the Customer page of this Site, the Information Request page of this site, or when submitting a resume and other job application information on the Career page of this Site.

APS does not use cookies to track a User's UD, but employs an American third party to collect anonymous information regarding Site traffic and usage patterns.

How APS Uses the Collected Information

APS uses all PI collected through this Site's Career page for the sole purpose of evaluating job applications for current or future job openings at APS. When Users apply for available positions through this Site's Career page, APS may use their PI to evaluate whether they are suitable for an opening at APS.

APS uses PI collected through this Site's Customer page to evaluate which customers are logging on the Site and taking advantage of its useful information. APS will sometimes send notices regarding software and equipment updates, as well as other information useful to customers using their stored PI.

APS uses all PI collected through this Site's Contact US page to respond to Users' inquiries. An APS sales representative follows up with a User if a more detailed response is required. After action is taken, the request is deleted.

APS does not use any UD that identifies a specific User. APS uses anonymous information collected by an American third party to analyze general Site traffic and usage patterns. This information is anonymous to the third party as well.

APS employs an American third party to maintain, repair, and enhance the functionality and appearance of this Site. The third party does not come into contact with any collected PI or other stored information transmitted through this Site.
