This Privacy Policy describes how APL collects, uses, discloses, and protects personal information in compliance with applicable laws, including the New York Stop Hacks and Improve Electronic Data Security (“SHIELD”) Act.

APL may update or modify this Privacy Policy at any time. Any changes will be posted to this page with an updated “Last Revised” date.

1. Personal Information Collected

APL does not collect personally identifiable information (“Personal Information”) unless it is voluntarily submitted for a specified purpose.

By providing such information, you consent to its collection and use as described in this Policy.

2. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

APL uses cookies and other standard web technologies to improve your experience on our Site, analyze performance, and customize content.

A cookie is a small text file stored on your device that helps recognize your browser and remember preferences on future visits. Our cookies do not access information on your hard drive or read cookies created by other websites.

4. Data Security and the New York SHIELD Act

APL maintains administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect Personal Information against unauthorized access, destruction, use, modification, or disclosure, in accordance with the New York SHIELD Act.

These safeguards include:

• Encryption of data in transit and at rest, where applicable.

• Multi-factor authentication for administrative access.

• Secure transmission protocols (HTTPS).

• Regular monitoring of systems for vulnerabilities or unauthorized access.

• Restriction of Personal Information access to authorized personnel only.

In the event of a data breach involving the unauthorized acquisition of private information, APL will comply with all applicable notification and remediation obligations under the SHIELD Act and any other relevant laws.

While APL takes reasonable precautions to protect your data, no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

5. Hyperlinks to Third-Party Websites

This Privacy Policy applies only to the APL Site. Our Site may contain hyperlinks (“links”) to third-party websites for convenience or informational purposes.

APL does not control or assume responsibility for the privacy practices, content, or security of third-party sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any external websites you visit to understand how your information will be collected and used.

7. Data Retention

APL retains Personal Information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, comply with legal and professional obligations, or as otherwise required by law. When information is no longer needed, it will be securely deleted or anonymized.
