It is APA HelpCenter policy that personal information, such as your name, postal and e-mail address or telephone number, is private and confidential. The personal information you provide is stored in a secure location, is accessible only by appropriate staff, and is used only for the purposes for which you provide the information, such as to reply to your request or to send you requested materials.
If you also indicate on our site that you would like to receive announcements and notices from the APA HelpCenter, your personal information will be added to the appropriate APA mailing list.

Our web site does not track, collect or distribute personal information about visitors. We regularly compile aggregate statistics that show the number of visitors to our site, the requests we receive for particular information on our web site, and the Internet Service Providers (ISPs) that those requests come from. Visitors who sign our "Guest Book" are asked only to provide demographic data -- not user name, regular address, email address, or phone number. These aggregated statistics are used by internal APA technical support staff to improve the website in an ongoing effort to provide better information and services to the public.
