Privacy Policy
Apez Corp is committed to protecting the privacy of users of our site. At Apez.biz, we intend to give you as much control as possible over your personal information. As part of the normal operation of this site, we collect information from you. This Privacy Statement describes the information we collect about you and what may happen to that information. INFORMATION GATHERED THROUGH THE APEZ.BIZ WEB SITE Apez Corp will track the domains from which people visit Apez.biz and analyze this data for trends and statistics. Subject to the provisions of this Privacy Statement, Apez Corp may use accumulated data for various purposes, including but not limited to marketing analysis, service evaluation and planning.
Currently, Apez.biz uses personal information as a basis for notifications to users. Email addresses (as well as any additional information that a user may choose to post) will not be publicly disclosed on the Apez.biz site. This excludes where users voluntarily and publicly disclose or post personal information in conjunction with content. An example of such a disclosure includes, but is not limited to, a user's disclosure of personal information as part of a message posted to a public message forum, or a publicly-released software application.
Apez Corp may conduct surveys or other studies of its customer base and usage for marketing and planning purposes. With respect to information collected from such surveys or studies, and in the event that responses are to be publicly disclosed, users will be notified at the time they take the survey and Apez Corp will disclose only aggregate information regarding its users and not personal information identifying any specific individual. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in cases where surveys allow users to submit written comments, and where Apez Corp advises users of the possibility of such disclosure at the time they take the survey, Apez Corp reserves the right to disclose any information provided by any user through such survey, provided that no personal information identifying that user is disclosed. Participation in such surveys is at the user's option; Apez Corp does not conduct mandatory surveys. Circumstances under which Apez Corp would publicly disclose such aggregate information include, but are not limited to, sharing survey results with the site population, providing data to Apez.biz advertisers on user preferences and/or demographics, and publicizing overall usage data in press communications.
As part of the normal operation of specific Apez Corp services, information is collected and recorded for the benefit of the service user. Any such information will not be made publicly available without the explicit consent of the user. Examples of such information include, but are not limited to, banking transactions, account balances, sales records and advertising information. Apez Corp reserves the right to provide aggregate statistics from such information to third parties without including information that would identify individuals or businesses.
Cookies: Apez.biz employs "cookies" to provide a user with tailored information. A "cookie" is an element of data that a service or site, when visited by a user, sends to that user's browser that, in turn, may store that element on the user's hard drive or memory. Apez Corp uses cookies to better serve users who use our services. Any cookies sent by Apez.biz will be marked so that they will be accessible only by web sites subject to this Privacy Policy. However, at the user's option, and at the user's sole expense and responsibility, any user may block or delete our cookies from the user's hard drive or memory. By disabling cookies, however, certain site features and functionality may no longer work properly, or at all.
Other Notification: In order to implement or enforce the Terms of Service, Apez Corp may use personal information to contact users on an individual basis.
At no time, unless the law requires such disclosure, disclosure is necessary to aid law enforcement, or a user specifically authorizes such disclosure, will Apez Corp disclose individual user personal information that is not publicly available to unrelated third parties. CHOICE "Opt-in" Emails: Users may "opt-in" to receive site notifications or other information via email. Users may remove themselves from such services at their discretion. Any email sent to an "opt-in" list will include directions for how a user may remove himself or herself from the list, or a URL where the user may find such directions. SECURITY To secure the integrity of the Apez.biz site and in-world devices, Apez Corp employs measures including but not limited to security audits, use of encryption tools and software, and other reasonable security measures and procedures.
Internal access to users' private and nonpublic personal information is restricted to site administrators and individuals on a need-to-know basis. ENFORCEMENT In the event that Apez Corp becomes aware that site or device security is compromised or user nonpublic information has been disclosed to unrelated third parties as a result of external activity, including but not limited to external security attacks, Apez Corp shall take reasonable measures which it deems appropriate, including but not limited to internal investigation and reporting, and notification to and cooperation with law enforcement authorities, notwithstanding other provisions of this Privacy Policy.
If Apez Corp becomes aware that a user's personal information provided to Apez.biz has been disclosed in a manner not permitted by this Privacy Policy, Apez Corp shall make reasonable efforts to notify the affected user, as soon as reasonably possible and as permitted by law, of what information has been disclosed, to the extent that Apez Corp knows this information. NO GUARANTEES While this Privacy Policy expresses Apez Corp's standards for maintenance of private data, Apez Corp is not in a position to guarantee that the standards will always be met. There may be factors beyond our control that may result in disclosure of data. As a consequence, Apez Corp disclaims any warranties or representations relating to maintenance or nondisclosure of private information.
