PRIVACY AND SECURITY

Welcome to the APICS Winnipeg Chapter Web site.
The privacy and protection of all consumer identifiable information is extremely important to us whether we have received this information directly from you or through a third party authorized by you. Our privacy policy has been drafted to comply with current standards regarding the protection of personal information. This policy is reviewed regularly and modified as necessary to satisfy legal requirements.

This policy has been updated effective July 06,2006.

We may also combine your personal information with others to create summarized, non-personalized data. This general information about groups of customers is used to improve our products and services and develop new ones.

We may contract with other suppliers to provide services to assist us in fulfilling orders or administering our customers' accounts.

Any change affecting how consumer identifiable information is used requires the approval of our business partners - the financial institutions and software vendors. If our information practices change at some time in the future, we will post the policy changes to our Web site to notify you of these changes and provide you with the ability to opt out of these new uses.

Security
We use industry standard technologies and established security procedures to ensure that your personal is protected against unauthorized access, disclosure, or misuse. We routinely assess new technology for protecting our customers' information as well as our own.
