Privacy Policy

APTPCA collects information that you provide directly to us when you register for membership, register for an event, sign up for newsletters or contact us. This may include your name, contact details, professional qualification, designation, district and other information necessary for membership processing.

We also collect limited technical information such as IP address, browser type and pages visited for security and analytics purposes.

We use the information we collect to:

• Process membership applications and renewals
• Communicate circulars, notifications and event invitations
• Maintain the member directory and grievance redressal system
• Send important account and policy updates
• Improve the content and usability of our website

We do not sell or rent your personal information to any third party.

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse or alteration. Access to member data is restricted to authorised office-bearers and administrative staff of APTPCA.

However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security but strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information.

As part of membership registration, APTPCA may collect government-issued identifiers such as PAN and Aadhaar for identity verification purposes only. These are stored securely, access-controlled, and used solely for the purpose for which they are provided.

APTPCA does not publish Aadhaar or PAN numbers in any public directory or report. Such sensitive fields are masked or omitted wherever possible and never shared with third parties without explicit consent or legal requirement.
