Professional Development Information Collection and Use

As part of the APSS’s initiative to provide educational events for the professional development of its members, please note the following information collection and use for Registration and Order Forms.

To enroll or register in a program (attend APSS events/meetings/conferences), an individual or organization may be required to fill out a registration or order form and provide personally identifiable information “PII”, which will be used to process your registration or order. In certain circumstances, a program accessed through the Site may be jointly sponsored or co-sponsored with other organizations, and registration may or may not be handled by APSS. In such event, this privacy policy will not apply – instead, such third party’s privacy policy will be controlling. Please note that APSS is not responsible for the privacy policies of these other organizations (or their use of your PII or other information) and hereby disclaims any liability or responsibility in connection therewith. In addition, your name and information may appear on registration or attendee lists distributed at APSS events, meetings, and conferences to other attendees and third parties.
