Registration, Information Collection, Privacy and use
The Advanced Performance Institute is the sole owner of the information collected, in our databases, and on our Websites. We will not sell, share, or rent this information to any third parties in ways different from those disclosed here.

The Advanced Performance Institute uses information voluntarily provided by our users or obtained through website tracking to provide research and professional services. Information is also requested and used for the purpose of filling orders, enabling attendance at our events, providing newsletters/alerts, and fulfilling other requests. In addition, we may use the information to identify and contact you regarding potential products and services that we feel will be of interest to you. We also use the information gained to plan future content based on users' interests and our assessment of important trends and issues in business and technology relating to performance.

The Advanced Performance Institute retains the right to grant access and may also terminate a user's access at any time for any reason.

Surveys
From time to time our site requests information from users via surveys for research. Participation in these surveys is voluntary, and the user therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose this information. Information requested may include contact information, company demographic information, and personal preferences and opinions. Contact information might be used to send a complimentary copy of the research that the information was used in to users. Survey information will only be used, displayed, and shared in aggregate form and will not identify individuals or their organisations.

Sharing of Data and Information
From time to time, the Advanced Performance Institute will share aggregated demographic information and user data with our partners. This data/information is not linked to any personal information that can identify any individual person.

From time to time, we partner with other parties to provide specific services. When the user signs up for these services, we will share names or other contact information that is necessary for the third party to provide these services. We use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that these parties are not allowed to use personally identifiable information except for the purpose of providing the user these requested services.

When registering for events (teleconferences, webcasts, conferences, seminars, etc.), the Advanced Performance Institute uses the information obtained from you during the registration process to enable your attendance at the event. The Advanced Performance Institute may share your information with third-party service providers and partners, including event sponsors, webcast service providers, mailing houses, and event organisers.

This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by the Advanced Performance Institute websites.

Notification of Changes
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post a link to those changes on our home page so that our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it. If at any point we decide to use personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the time it was collected, we will notify users via e-mail. Unless the user opts out of the new policy, we will use information in accordance with the changed policy.
