Links
This Web site contains links to other sites. Please be aware that we are not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites.  We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site, and to read the privacy statements of each and every web site that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by this web site.   

Security
This web site takes every precaution to protect our users’ information.  When users submit sensitive information via the web site, their information is protected both online and off-line.

When our registration/order form requires users to enter sensitive information, (such as credit card number, and expiration date) that information is encrypted, and is protected with the best encryption software in the industry - SSL.  While on a secure page, such as our payment forms, the lock icon on the bottom of web browsers such as Netscape Navigator, and Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes locked, as opposed to un-locked, or open, when users are just ‘surfing’.

While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also do everything in our power to protect user-information off-line.  All of our users’ information is restricted in our offices.  Only employees who need information to perform a specific job (for example, our billing clerk or a customer service representative) are granted access to personally identifiable information.  Furthermore, ALL employees are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy practices.  Every time new policies are added, our employees are notified and/or reminded about the importance we place on privacy, and what they can do to ensure that our users’ information is protected

For questions about the security at our web site, users can send an email to info@aptrademarks.com

Correcting/Updating/Deleting/Deactivating Personal Information
If a user’s personally identifiable information changes (such as zip code, phone, email or postal address), or if a user no longer desires our service, we provide a way to correct, update or delete/deactivate users’ personally identifiable information. This can usually be done by emailing our Customer Support at info@aptrademarks.com, or contacting us by telephone, fax, or postal mail at the contact information listed below.

Notification of Changes.
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we post the changes to this privacy statement, the homepage, and other places we deem appropriate so that our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it.  We will use information in accordance with the privacy policy under which the information was collected.  

If, however, users’ personally identifiable information will be used in a manner different from that stated at the time of collection we will notify users via email. Users will have a choice as to whether or not to allow us to use their information in the different manner. However, if users have opted out of all communication with the site, or deleted/deactivated their account, then they will not be contacted, nor will their personal information be used in such a new manner. In addition, if we make any material changes in our privacy practices that do not affect users' information already stored in our database, we will post a prominent notice on our web site notifying users of the change. In some cases, when we post a notice on the site, we also email users, who have opted to receive communications from us, notifying them of the changes in our privacy practices.
