We may also collect information about your location and the location of your device.  However, location functionality will not be activated unless you consent, via opt-in, to allow such functionality of the App to be used on your device. 
 

Use of Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies

The Sites may use cookies and analogous technologies such as web beacons, pixel tags, locally shared objects and clear GIFs (hereinafter collectively referred to as “cookies”) to obtain certain types of information about your activity while on the Sites. Cookies often involve storing information that are stored by your browser on your computer's hard drive. For example, if you select the option for our Sites to remember your username and password, a cookie file will be stored on your hard drive after you log in. This allows us to re-populate your username and password on our login form, saving you the trouble of remembering it. You can choose to de-select this option at any time, which will delete the cookie file after you log in. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually change your web browser to not accept cookies.

Cookies enable us to provide our Sites, such as facilitating access to different aspects of your account across our Sites, to understand how our Sites are being used, to improve your web browsing experience, and to personalize your experience.  

Some content or applications on the Sites may be provided by third parties, including advertising companies, ad networks and servers, analytics companies, and application providers. We may also offer social media widgets and features, as explained in greater detail in the “Social Network Account Data” section. 

These third parties may use cookies to collect information, potentially including personal information, about your activities over time and across different websites when you use our Sites. Those third parties may provide APS with data collection, reporting, ad response measurement, analytical information, and assist with delivery of relevant marketing messages and advertisements. The tracking technologies may also allow the third parties to deliver targeted advertisements of our products and services on other websites or on social media networks and gauge their effectiveness.

APS does not control these third-party technologies and their use is governed by the privacy policies of those third parties. For example, we use Google Analytics to better understand use of our Sites and to optimize web browsing experience. Google’s processing of your data is subject to Google’s privacy policy, found here: www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/. If you have any questions about an advertisement or other targeted content, you should contact the responsible provider directly. For more information about third-party advertising networks and similar entities that use these technologies, including information and resources to opt out of interest-based advertising from participating providers, see www.aboutads.info/consumers and www.networkadvertising.org/choices. 

You may also opt out of tracking and receiving tailored advertisements on your mobile device by some mobile advertising companies and other similar entities by downloading the App Choices app at www.aboutads.info/appchoices.  Please note that opting out through these mechanisms does not opt you out all advertising. You may continue to receive generic ads while visiting our Sites and elsewhere online, or personalized advertisements from third parties that do not participate in the programs mentioned above.

The Sites do not respond to “Do Not Track” signals, and as such we do not alter our data practices upon receipt of such a signal. 

We have implemented Google’s Invisible reCAPTCHA technology on our Sites. Use of the Invisible reCAPTCHA is subject to the Google Privacy Policy and Terms of Use.

We may also use Hotjar on the Websites in order to better understand the needs of our Website users and to optimize their experience. Hotjar is a technology service that helps us better understand our users’ experience (e.g., how much time they spend on which pages, which links they choose to click, what users prefer, etc.) and this enables us to build and maintain our Websites with user feedback. Hotjar uses cookies and other technologies to collect data on our users’ behavior and their devices. This includes a device's IP address (processed during your session and stored in an anonymized form), device screen size, device type (unique device identifiers), browser information, geographic location (country only), and the preferred language used to display our Website. Hotjar stores this information on our behalf in a pseudonymized user profile. Hotjar is contractually forbidden to sell any of the data collected on our behalf.
