What identifiable information is collected from you?
The type and amount of information received and stored by EBAP depends on how you use the EBAP website. You can access most EBAP page sections without revealing any personal information, except in the case of accreditation applications.
EBAP does not collect information identifying you personally (such as your name, address, phone number or e-mail address) unless that information is voluntarily disclosed. There are instances where EBAP requests information that does identify you personally, for the purpose of providing you with specific services or corresponding with you. Information that you supply in this way will not be shared with any third party except where needed to provide a requested service or required by law.
If you register to request information you may be asked to provide personal information such as your name, postal address and e-mail address. This information is collected only with your knowledge and permission and is kept in various EBAP databases and mailing lists.
How does EBAP use the information?
EBAP does not distribute, sell or rent user information to anyone. EBAP uses the information collected about you to improve its understanding of web visitors, to send information that you have requested or that may be considered of interest to you.
With whom may EBAP share the information?
EBAP will not disclose any information identifying you personally, except with your prior explicit permission or where required by law.

How does EBAP protect your personal information?
EBAP ensures to the best of its ability that any personal information you provide is secure on its systems. However, it cannot guarantee that submitting information over the Internet is 100% secure. As a result, EBAP does not confirm or warrant the security of personal information submitted; you do so at your own risk.
