The Policy



APH does its best to respect and protect the privacy of its donors, customers, and visitors to the APH website. APH will not share your email address with third parties.

APH, in order to keep its costs of fundraising low, may share financial donor postal mailing lists with other non-profits for a one-time use by the other non-profit. If you are a donor to APH and wish that we withhold your mailing information from any list exchanges with other non-profits, please email Paul Zurkuhlen at pzurkuhlen@aph.org In the subject field, please type "Mailing List Opt Out" and provide your name, email address, and postal address used in making your donation to APH. APH lists are never sold to third parties.

Credit Card Information Security



Because we care about the safety and security of your transaction, we use high grade encryption and the https security protocol to communicate with your browser software. This method uses the industry standard software, which makes it extremely difficult for anyone else to intercept the credit card information you send to us. Also, the companies we work with to process credit card transactions also use high-grade encryption and security protocols. You may also donate by calling 1-888-295-2405. If you have any questions about donations, you may call that number during regular business hours.

APH employs error checking procedures to ensure your transactions are complete and accurate. As needed, we do and will make changes to ensure privacy, security, and accuracy regarding your information obtained from our site.
