Applied Production, Inc. (API) respects your privacy. Across our business, around the world, we will only collect, store and use your personal information for defined purposes. We use your information to support and enhance our relationship with you, for example, to process your purchase, provide service and support, and share product, service and company news and offerings with you. We do not sell your personal information. We only share your personal data outside API with your consent, as required by law or to protect API, its customers, or the public, or with companies that help API fulfill its obligations with you, and then only with partners who share API's commitment to protecting your privacy and data. At any time you may contact API with any privacy questions or concerns you may have. You also may ask at any time to see the data you have given us and request correction or deletion. We strive to ensure a high level of security and confidentiality.

Privacy and Data Security

At API, your right to privacy and data security is a primary concern. That's why, when you visit appliedproduction.com, we help you maintain control over your personal data on the Internet. Below are the guidelines we use for protecting the information you provide us during a visit to our Internet site. Visit www.nclnet.org/essentials to learn more about how to protect your privacy on the Internet through a consumer education campaign called Online E-ssentials, developed by Dell in partnership with the National Consumers League.

API's Privacy statement discloses the privacy guidelines for the entire APl Web site.

API only asks for specific types of personal information

In a few areas on our Web site, we ask you to provide information that will enable us to enhance your site visit, to assist you with technical support issues, or to follow up with you after your visit. It is completely optional for you to participate.

API only uses your personal information for specific purposes

The information you provide will be kept confidential and used to support your customer relationship with API. Among other things, we want to help you quickly find information on appliedproduction.com and alert you to product upgrades, special offers, updated information and other new products and services from API.

In addition, API may be required to disclose personal information in connection with law enforcement, fraud prevention, regulation, and other legal action or if API reasonably believes it is necessary to do so to protect API, its customers, or the public.

You can opt-out of receiving further marketing from API at any time

Periodically, we may send you information about our various products and services, or other products and services we feel may be of interest to you. Only API will send you these direct mailings. If you do not want to receive such mailings, simply tell us when you give us your personal information. Or, at any time you can easily opt-out of receiving further marketing from API.

API will not disclose your personal information to any outside organization for its use in marketing without your consent

Information regarding you (such as name, address and phone number) will not be given or sold to any outside organization for its use in marketing or solicitation without your consent.

Third-Party Sites

Please be aware that other web sites that may be accessed through our site may collect personally identifiable information about you. The information practices of those third-party web sites linked to appliedproduction.com are not covered by this privacy statement.

You are solely responsible for maintaining the secrecy of any account information. Please be careful and responsible whenever you're online. If you post personal information online that is accessible to the public, you may receive unsolicited messages from other parties in return. While we strive to protect your personal information, API cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk.

Children's Privacy (Age 12 and Under)

API takes children's privacy seriously.

API does not seek to collect personal information about children through its Web site. API does not condition a child's participation in an activity on the disclosure of more personal information than is reasonably necessary to participate in the activity.

If we become aware that a person submitting personal information to us through any part of our Web site is a child, we delete the information as soon as we discover it and do not use it for any purpose, nor do we disclose it to third parties.

Since we do not seek to collect any personal information about children, and we delete any information collected inadvertently as soon as we discover that a child has submitted it, we typically retain no information about children that could be reviewed or deleted. If a parent requests review or deletion of information about their child before we have discovered and deleted the information, then we will of course honor that request.

Other Web sites

API's Web site contains links to other Web sites that are not operated by API. API is not responsible for the privacy practices of the Web sites that it does not operate.
