To that end, we are disclosing here any issues related to privacy in the collection by APS of personally identifiable information from users of associationforprojectsafety.co.uk.

A summary of the measures taken by APS to protect our users' privacy is as follows:

• We reserve the right to forward third party information to you, in order that these third parties can offer you information, goods and services that may be of interest to you. Such forwarding would only be performed with your detailed consent. In the case of email these offers would only come to you from APS.

• APS many contact you by post or telephone with details of their products, services and promotions. In the case of email this correspondence will only be sent to those users who have registered onto the website member service to receive communications via these methods.

• All our automated email correspondence includes an unsubscribe option.

• You decide whether to post publicly a personal email address when participating in online discussions.

What personally identifiable information do we collect about you?

We collect information on our website users in one way: through registration. For more information about cookies, please see below.

We require users to provide us with an email address in order to register for access to certain services. We may also ask for other non-mandatory demographic information from subscribers, such as polling information.

Following registration we will employ a registration session to recognise a subscriber and his or her access privileges on www.associationforprojectsafety.co.uk.

We may also collect personal information from you through your use of enquiry and feedback forms.

We may also log IP addresses, or the location of your computer on the internet, for polling & statistical purposes, but we do not link IP addresses to personally identifiable information.

What do we do with the information collected?

We may perform statistical analyses of user behaviour in order to measure relative member interest in the various areas of our site (for product development purposes). In performing these statistical analyses, we do not disclose information to third parties.

We may periodically send you email updates and services offered by www.associationforprojectsafety.co.uk. Only those users who have registered onto the website member service to receive these communications via email will receive this information via this method. If you wish to opt out of receiving such information from us, please use the unsubscribe option included in all our automated email correspondence or send an email to webmaster@associationforprojectsafety.co.uk stating that you would prefer not to receive such mailings.

With whom do we share the information we collect?

At present, this information is only used for purposes internal to APS. At this time we do not share website-gathered member data with third parties.
