Cookies
We collect Non-Personal Information such as your age and gender as well as information about your use of our Website through the use of Cookies. Every computer that accesses an Apex Data Solutions Web site is assigned a different Cookie by Apex Data Solutions. The information collected by Cookies (i) allows us to statistically monitor how many people are using our Website, (ii) how many people open our emails, and (iii) for what purposes these actions are being taken. We may also acquire Non-Personal Information about our users that third parties have access to and we may use that information for the purpose of content development and for marketing purposes. Cookies are also used to facilitate a user’s log-in, as navigation aids and as session timers. Most browser software can be set to reject all Cookies. Most browsers offer instructions on how to reset the browser to reject Cookies in the “Help” section of the toolbar. If you reject our Cookies, certain functions and conveniences of our Web sites may not work properly but you do not have to accept our Cookies in order to productively use our site. Additionally, Apex Data Solutions may geographically target advertising based on your IP address. We use local shared objects, also known as flash cookies, to enable you to use certain interactive tools on our site. Flash cookies are different from browser cookies because of the amount and type of data they collect, and how the data is stored. Apex Data Solutions does not share information stored in flash cookies with third parties. Cookie management tools provided by your browser will not remove Flash cookies.

Third Parties Collecting Non-Personal Information on Apex Data Solutions Behalf
Third parties under contract with Apex Data Solutions may use Cookies or Web Beacons to collect Non-Personal Information about your usage of Apex Data Solutions sites. These third parties may use this information, on our behalf, to help Apex Data Solutions deliver our services. These third parties have agreed not to use Non-Personal Information they collect from our sites except to deliver services on our behalf. If your browser is set to reject cookies, the Non-Personal Information will not be sent to these third parties. We may also collect data in a form that does not, on its own, permit direct association with any specific individual. We may collect, use, transfer, and disclose non-personal information for any purpose. If we do combine non-personal information with personal information the combined information will be treated as personal information for as long as it remains combined. To the extent that Internet Protocol (IP) addresses or similar identifiers are considered personal information by local law, we also treat these identifiers as personal information. Similarly, to the extent that non-personal information is combined with personal information, we treat the combined information as personal information for the purposes of this Privacy Policy. As is true of most internet services, we gather some information automatically and store it in log files. This information includes Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, browser type and language, Internet service provider (ISP), referring and exit websites and applications, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data. We use this information to understand and analyze trends, to administer the site, to learn about user behavior on the site, to improve our product and services, and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole. Apex Data Solutions may use this information in our marketing and advertising services. Pixel tags enable us to send email messages in a format customers can read, and they tell us whether mail has been opened. We may use this information to reduce or eliminate messages sent to customers. We may also disclose information about you if we determine that disclosure is reasonably necessary to enforce our terms and conditions or protect our operations or users. Additionally, in the event of a reorganization, merger, or sale we may transfer any and all personal information we collect to the relevant third party.

If you want to keep content or business information, ideas, concepts or inventions private or proprietary, do not send them in an email to Apex Data Solutions. We try to answer every email within 48 business hours, but are not always able to do so.

In the event that we are legally compelled to disclose your Personally Identifiable to a third party, we will attempt to notify you unless doing so would violate the law or court order. In addition, we may disclose Personal Information as described below.
How Apex Data Solutions Handles Privacy and Security Internally
We use Google Analytics to help analyze how users use the Site. Google Analytics uses Cookies to collect information such as how often users visit the Site, what pages they visit, and what other sites they used prior to coming to the Site. We use the information we get from Google Analytics only to improve our Site and Services. Google Analytics collects only the IP address assigned to you on the date you visit the Site, rather than your name or other personally identifying information. We do not combine the information generated through the use of Google Analytics with your personal information. Although Google Analytics plants a persistent Cookie on your web browser to identify you as a unique user the next time you visit the Site, the Cookie cannot be used by anyone but Google. Google’s ability to use and share information collected by Google Analytics about your visits to the Site is restricted by the Google Analytics Terms of Use and the Google Privacy Policy. How we use your personal information: • The personal information we collect allows us to keep you posted on Apex Data Solutions’ latest product announcements and upcoming events. • We may also use personal information to help us create, develop, operate, deliver, and improve our products, services, content and advertising, and for loss prevention and anti-fraud purposes. • We may use your personal information, including date of birth, to verify identity, assist with identification of users, and to determine appropriate services. For example, we may use date of birth to determine the age of Apex Data Solutions ID account holders. • From time to time, we may use your personal information to send important notices, such as communications about purchases and changes to our terms, conditions, and policies. Because this information is important to your interaction with Apex Data Solutions, you may not opt out of receiving these communications. • We may also use personal information for internal purposes such as auditing, data analysis, and research to improve Apex Data Solutions’ products, services, and customer communications.
