Privacy Policy

This notice applies to all information collected or submitted on AIPT's website: www.aipt.org. In general, our system may collect usage information that we use in aggregate form to improve our website and maintain site security.

On some pages, you can make requests, apply to programs, e-mail to receive materials and order products and services, and interact with prospective, current, and/or former participating employers or participants. The types of personal information collected on these pages are name, address, e-mail address, and phone number. Personal information necessary to process your application is also requested either through our website or on program application forms and include information such as skills, experience, educational background and biographical data, eligibility information, and data needed to make arrangements for your participation in AIPT programs, assist in the issuance of a work permit or an Certificate of Eligibility form, or ensure a safe and successful AIPT program experience, credit/debit card information and expressed interest in specific programs, services, or related information.

AIPT does not sell or lease the information you provide. We use the information you provide about yourself when placing a request, to apply to a program, or to use our services and/or to make your posting of information available as instructed on your service request, to complete the service requested, and follow up accordingly.

We use the information you provide about yourself to make information about the programs and services that fall within the scope of your order or information request available to you. We do not share this information with outside parties except to the extent necessary to make arrangements for program participation, to complete the order, or for delivery of related information we deem important for you to receive. We may also disclose this information to our Affinity Partner relationships as required.

We use return e-mail addresses to answer the e-mail messages we receive, provide the information you have requested, and follow up accordingly. Such addresses are not used for any other purpose and are not shared with outside parties.

You can register on our website if you would like to sign up to attend AIPT events/seminars, receive our magazine, informational brochures, catalogs, or updates on our new programs and services.

We use non-identifying and aggregate information to better design our website and to share general website usage data with sponsors or partner service providers. For example, we may tell a service provider that X number of individuals visited a certain service area on our website or that Y number of Europeans visit the site, and that Z number of electrical engineering candidates filled out our registration form, but we would not disclose anything that could be used to identify those individuals without their consent.

Finally, we never use or share the personally identifiable information provided to us online in ways unrelated to the ones described above without also providing you an opportunity to opt out or otherwise prohibit such unrelated uses.

To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy and ensure the correct use of information, we have put in place appropriate physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online. We reserve the right to use cookies to track identifying information with the purpose of maintaining and enforcing site security, preventing abuse of the restricted areas of our websites and protecting our systems and the information contained in them.

We believe that protecting the privacy of the very young is especially important. We encourage parents to inform children to obtain parental consent before providing personal information. We do not specifically collect or maintain information on our website from children, and our website is not structured to attract children. Our website and web communities are intended for use by our trainees, alumni, and employers and although dependents of trainees may find valuable information on our web communities, the areas of the AIPT website that facilitate interaction are not designed for the use of minors.

You can access all the personally identifiable information that we collect and maintain by calling the information center at 1-410-997-2200. We use this procedure to better safeguard your information.

You can correct factual errors in your personally identifiable information by sending us a request that credibly shows error.
To protect your privacy and security, we will also take reasonable steps to verify your identity before granting access or making corrections.
