Apogee Mapping, Inc. (“Apogee Mapping”) operates several websites including www.apogeemapping.com, amtopo.com, and apogeemappingblog.com. It is Apogee Mapping’s policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our websites.
Website Visitors
Like most website operators, Apogee Mapping collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Apogee Mapping’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Apogee Mapping’s visitors use its websites. From time to time, Apogee Mapping may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
Apogee Mapping also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on our blog. Apogee Mapping only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below, except that blog commenter IP addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog where the comment was left.
Personal & Financial Information
Certain visitors to Apogee Mapping’s websites choose to interact with Apogee Mapping in ways that require Apogee Mapping to gather personal and/or financial information. The amount and type of information that Apogee Mapping gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who register with www.amtopo.com to provide their full name, billing/mailing address and email address. At no time do we gather financial information. All financial information is protected by a 3rd Party entity, Stripe®, and at no time is such information shared with Apogee Mapping. In each case, Apogee Mapping collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with Apogee Mapping. Apogee Mapping does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. Visitors may refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.
Statistics
Apogee Mapping may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. For instance, Apogee Mapping may monitor how many visitors are from a specific geographic area, such as a particular state or county. Apogee Mapping may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, Apogee Mapping does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described above and below.
Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information
Apogee Mapping discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on Apogee Mapping’s behalf or to provide services available at Apogee Mapping’s websites, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using Apogee Mapping’s websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. Apogee Mapping will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, Apogee Mapping discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when Apogee Mapping believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Apogee Mapping, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of an Apogee Mapping website and have supplied your email address, Apogee Mapping may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with Apogee Mapping and our products. If you send us a request (for example via a support email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. Apogee Mapping takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
