AP PAPA®, (“AP PAPA,” “us,” “we,” or “our”) is committed to protecting the privacy of the users (“user”, “you” or “your”) of its web site (“Site”). ‘AP PAPA’ Privacy Policy is designed to assist you in understanding how we collect, use and safeguard the information you provide to us and in making informed decisions when using our Site. This Privacy Policy will be continuously assessed against new technologies and business practices. This Privacy Policy applies to this Site and governs data collection and usage at this Site. The United States has data protection laws that may not be consistent with those of other countries. By using this Site, you consent to the processing of data about you in the manner and for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. Please read it in its entirety.

USE OF COOKIES AND OTHER TECHNOLOGIES

We may employ cookie technology to store and sometimes track information about the users of the Site. Cookies are a feature of web browser software that allows web servers to recognize the computer used to access a web site. Cookies are small pieces of data that are stored by a user’s web browser on the user’s hard drive. Cookies can remember what information a user accesses on one web page to simplify subsequent interactions with that web site by the same user or to use the information to streamline the user’s transactions on related web pages. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can change your browser to prevent the browser from accepting cookies.

We may use web beacons (small pieces of data that are embedded in images on the pages of web sites) and auditing software to track page views and entry and exit points to and from the Site. In addition, we may use web beacons, cookies, customized links and/or similar technologies to determine whether electronic newsletters or other information sent by us to those who have requested them from us have been opened and which links are clicked. Any data collected will only be used in an aggregate form and will not contain any Personal Information, as that term is defined below.

THIS SITE USES GOOGLE ADWORDS

Portions of this Site use the Google AdWords remarketing service to advertise on third party websites (including Google) to previous visitors to our Site. As a result, we might advertise to previous visitors who haven’t completed a task on our Site (for example using the contact form to make an inquiry). This advertising activity could be in the form of an advertisement on the Google search results page, or a site in the Google Display Network. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on someone’s past visits to our Site. Any data collected will be used in accordance with this Privacy Policy and Google’s privacy policy.

Users can turn off cookies to avoid AdWords and still be able to use the portions of the Site that use Google AdWords.

Some portions of the website do not offer a “Do not track” option.

The e-store portion of the Site requires cookies to be enabled; otherwise the Site will not work for you. There is no alternative to having cookies enabled. Without cookies enabled, the Site will not function properly or be effective. For example, cookies are needed when users add an item to their shopping cart; cookies remember what product was added until the user checks out.

TYPES OF INFORMATION COLLECTED

Through the use of cookie technology or otherwise, we may track and collect information about your computer and software when you visit this Site. This information may include: (i) your IP address; (ii) domain server; (iii) type of computer; (iv) type of web browser; (v) access times; and (vi) referring web sites addresses (collectively “Traffic Data”). Traffic Data is anonymous information that does not personally identify you. Traffic Data assists us to design and arrange our web pages in the user-friendliest manner and to continually improve our Site to better meet the needs of users.

In order for you to access certain portions of our Site and/or participate in certain online activities, we may require you to provide us with information that personally identifies you, such as your name, mailing address, e-mail address and home and/or business telephone numbers (“Personal Information”). If you communicate with us by e-mail or otherwise complete online forms or the like, any information provided in such communication may be collected as Personal Information.

You may choose not to provide us with any Personal Information. In such an event, you can still access and use much of the Site. You, however, will not be able to access or use those portions of the Site or participate in online activities that require your Personal Information.

When you participate in online activities at the Site, you may be subject to additional terms and conditions.
Making purchases from the Site.

If you wish to place an order from the Site, you will be required to provide Personal Information (name, address, email address; telephone number is not required). You may choose not to provide your Personal Information to register or check out as a guest. By not providing personal information the purchase cannot be completed. You may still use the Site to browse product selection, prices and availability.

Your IP Address and Location

By using our website, you (the visitor) agree to allow third parties to process your IP address, in order to determine your location for the purpose of currency conversion. You also agree to have that currency stored in a session cookie in your browser (a temporary cookie which gets automatically removed when you close your browser). We do this in order for the selected currency to remain selected and consistent when browsing our website so that the prices can convert to your (the visitor) local currency.
