Dispute Resolution and Privacy Policies (Seals)

We have the following privacy policies (seals):

Web Visitation Privacy: Concerns about privacy on the APHA website (cookies, site visitation, etc.) can be sent to the webmaster (web@printinghistory.org) or to the APHA Board via US Mail (see APHA's contacts page). APHA does not use cookies and only general tracking information is collected about site visitation.

Opt-in or Opt-out : This website does not collect information from visitors without their knowledge. Individuals may opt-out from receiving e-mail or mail from APHA either on the form or by contacting Stephen Crook, above. However, APHA's paper-based membership application and conference registration forms request postal and e-mail addresses from members.

E-mail Addresses. APHA does not release or rent e-mail addresses provided by its members. At present, e-mail addresses are used only for specific communications from the APHA Executive Secretary or members of the APHA Board. In the future, if APHA creates an e-mailing list, people may opt-out through instructions provided in the messages.
Postal Addresses. APHA sometimes rents the postal addresses of its members to organizations or businesses whose activities or products may be of interest to its membership. APHA requires these organizations and businesses to a single-use with restrictions upon copying. The small number of rental requests each year provide revenue for APHA's activities and operations.

APHA's paper-based membership forms do not have an opt-in or opt-out option, however members wishing to be excluded from all mailings by other organizations or businesses may write to Executive Secretary Mr. Stephen Crook at the address above or at the address on APHA's contacts page.

Printed Membership Directory: APHA may occasionally print its membership directory for the exclusive use of other members. When renewing their membership, members may opt to keep their e-mail addresses unpublished.
