Last Updated: May 1, 2006

The Association for Financial Professionals ("AFP") wants you to know how we address privacy issues on the Asiapacificforum.com web site (the "Site"). AFP provides this privacy policy (the "Privacy Policy") to explain how your personal information will be treated by AFP. AFP reserves the right to amend this Privacy Policy at any time. Please check back frequently in order to see changes, and your use of the Site constitutes your acceptance of the Privacy Policy, as it may be amended from time to time.

1. Collection of Personal Information from Site Users

   1. AFP may collect and/or track (1) the home server domain names, e-mail addresses, type of computer, and type of Web browser of visitors to the Site, (2) the e-mail addresses of visitors that communicate with AFP or the Site via e-mail, (3) information knowingly provided by the visitor in online forms, registration forms and surveys, (including name, address, e-mail and other personal profile data), and (4)user-specific information regarding page views.
   2. AFP may place Internet "cookies" on visitors' hard drives. Internet cookies save data about individual visitors, such as the visitor's name, password, user-name, screen preferences, the pages of a site viewed by the visitor, and the advertisements viewed or clicked by the visitor. When the visitor revisits the Site, AFP may recognize the visitor by the Internet cookie and customize the visitor's experience accordingly. Visitors may decline Internet cookies, if any, by using the appropriate feature of their Web client software, if available; however, this may impair certain features of the Site.
   3. When a visitor performs a search within the Site, AFP may record information identifying the visitor or linking the visitor to the search performed. AFP may also record limited information associated with every search request made by the visitor and use that information to, among other things, solve technical problems with the service and to calculate overall usage statistics.
   
   

2. Use of Personal Data Collected
   AFP may use personally identifiable information in a number of ways, such as:

   1. To communicate with you about your account, or to communicate information about the Site. AFP will occasionally send you important notices or information.
   2. To build higher-quality, more useful services, such as by analyzing usage trends, and by measuring demographics and interests regarding specific areas of the Site.
   3. To provide you with prompt and effective customer service.
   4. To support the operation of the Site (such as account maintenance and record-keeping), troubleshoot problems, resolve disputes, and to enforce our Terms and Conditions.
   
   

3. Disclosure of Personal Data Collected
   AFP may disclose personally identifiable information about you to third parties as follows:

   1. With your consent.
   2. To facilitate a transaction or communication with a third party that you have initiated.
   3. To AFP's agents and advisors (such as our accountants or attorneys). We only disclose the personal information necessary for them to provide their services to you or to us, and only under strict confidentiality restrictions.
   4. As AFP believes necessary to: (a) comply with law (including court and government orders, and civil subpoenas); (b) enforce or apply AFP's Terms and Conditions and other agreements; or (c) protect the rights, property, or safety of AFP, our users, or others.
   5. If you partake (or we reasonably suspect that you are partaking) in any illegal or potentially illegal activity. We may disclose personal information even without a subpoena, warrant, or other court order, to the extent we feel is necessary to inform and cooperate with law enforcement agencies or other appropriate authorities.
   6. In aggregated form, i.e., information about multiple users collectively without identifying any individual user, such as the total number of visitors to a particular section in a given week.
   
   

4. Collection of Personal Data from Children
   To the extent that AFP is able to determine the age of users by their submissions to, or communications with, the Site, AFP will not knowingly (a) collect or post information from individuals under sixteen years of age ("Children" or "Child") without their parent's or guardian's consent, or (b) provide any personally identifying information collected from Children, regardless of its source, to any third party for any purpose whatsoever.

5. Security Measures
   AFP has implemented numerous security features to prevent the unauthorized release of or access to personal information. In particular, when a visitor provides information through the Site, AFP offers the visitor the ability to use a secure server. The secure server encrypts all information a visitor inputs before it is sent to AFP, and is also used to store personal information securely.

6. Third Party Web Sites
   The Site may contain links to other Internet web sites. Unless we explicitly state otherwise, we have no control over these third party sites and their privacy practices, and this Privacy Policy applies only to information you supply (or that we collect) in connection with use of the Site. You should review third party privacy policies in connection with visiting the Sites.

7. Opt-Out Right
   Visitors may opt-out of having their personal information collected by AFP, used by AFP for secondary purposes, or used by AFP to send promotional correspondence to the visitor, by contacting AFP via email at access@afponline.org or via postal mail or telephone at the address and phone number below.

8. AFP's Right to Contact Visitor
   AFP reserves the right to contact visitors to the Site.

9. Access to and Ability to Correct Personal Data
   Upon request via postal mail, e-mail, or telephone (during regular business hours), AFP will provide to visitors a summary of any personally identifiable information retained by AFP regarding the visitor. Visitors may modify, correct, change or update personally identifiable information that AFP has collected through the Site or may cause their personal record to be removed from AFP's database by contacting AFP via postal mail, e-mail, or the telephone number indicated below.

10. AFP's Right to Change Privacy Policy
    AFP may change the content of our Site and Privacy Polity at any time. Please revisit our Privacy Policy from time to time to be sure you are familiar with our current policy.
