At American Applied Sciences & Quality Standards Agency LLC (AQS Agency), we value the trust placed in us by our members, applicants, partners, and website visitors. As a United States registered organization established in the State of Wyoming 001901770, we are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring that your personal information is handled responsibly, transparently, and securely. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and safeguard information obtained through our website, certification services, accreditation programs, verification systems, and membership platforms. By accessing our website or using any of our services, you acknowledge and agree to the practices described in this policy.
As an international accreditation and professional standards agency, we may collect personal information when you apply for certification, request credential evaluation, submit documentation for verification, apply for membership, purchase services, contact our team, or interact with our digital platforms. The information collected may include your full name, professional qualifications, contact details, identification documents required for verification purposes, and any additional documentation necessary to process your application. We may also collect technical data such as your IP address, browser type, device information, and general website usage statistics in order to improve user experience, maintain platform security, and analyze system performance.
The information you provide is used strictly for legitimate operational purposes. These purposes include processing applications, issuing certifications, verifying credentials, responding to inquiries, providing customer support, maintaining accurate records for authenticity verification, enhancing our services, and fulfilling legal or regulatory obligations. We do not sell, rent, or trade personal information to third parties. Any information shared with trusted service providers, such as payment processors or hosting providers, is limited to what is necessary to deliver the requested service and is handled under strict confidentiality and security standards.
We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal data from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or misuse. While we apply industry-standard security measures and work with reputable technology providers, no online transmission or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Therefore, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee absolute security, and users share information at their own discretion.
Because we operate internationally, information submitted to our agency may be processed or stored within the United States or in other jurisdictions where our authorized service providers operate. By using our services, you consent to such processing in accordance with applicable laws. We retain records only for as long as necessary to provide certification verification, maintain accreditation documentation, comply with legal requirements, and protect the integrity of our credentialing systems. Certain certification and verification records may be maintained for long-term authenticity validation and public verification services.
Our website may use cookies or similar technologies to enhance functionality, improve navigation, analyze traffic patterns, and optimize performance. Users may adjust browser settings to refuse cookies; however, certain features of the website may not function properly if cookies are disabled. We may also use secure third-party platforms for payment processing and communication management, and such providers are required to maintain confidentiality and data protection standards consistent with industry best practices.
Users may have certain rights depending on their country of residence, including the right to request access to personal information, request corrections of inaccurate data, or request deletion where legally permissible. Requests regarding personal data can be submitted through our official communication channels, and we will respond within a reasonable timeframe in accordance with applicable regulations. We reserve the right to retain information where necessary to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, or enforce our agreements.
American Applied Sciences & Quality Standards Agency LLC reserves the right to update, modify, or revise this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in legal requirements, operational practices, or service improvements. Updated versions will be published on this page, and continued use of our website or services after such updates constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
