This information does not identify you personally. We automatically collect and store only the following information about your visit:

  • The Internet domain (for example, “xcompany.com” if you use a private Internet access account, or “yourschool.edu” if you connect from a university’s domain) and IP address (an IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are surfing the Web) from which you access our website

    We use this information to help us make our site more useful to visitors – to learn about the number of visitors to our site and the types of technology our visitors are using. We do not track or record information about individuals and their visits.

    If You Send Us Personal Information
    If you choose to provide us with personal information, such as by sending an e-mail to APC, or by filling out a form with your personal information and submitting it to us through our website, we use that information to respond to your message and to help us locate the information you have requested. We only share the information you give us if required by law.
