Personal, identifying information is not collected from visitors to our site unless this information has been voluntarily provided. All sensitive information sent to APICS is kept confidential.

This information is used solely to measure and improve our Web site and services and to better serve our members and customers. No individual session data is saved; APICS only uses aggregate statistical data to compile reports.
When you order from our online bookstore, please be aware that the catalog uses "cookies" for temporary storage of individual items in your shopping cart during the ordering process; however, these cookies are deleted when you complete the order.
When you request information or items related to the APICS CPIM, CIRM, and CSCP programs, your contact information (name, address, and APICS identification number) is automatically transferred to the test administrator.
