Privacy Policy
Last updated August 21, 2026.
This policy explains how the American Fastener Application Association handles information associated with this website.
1. Information You Choose to Provide
This static website does not directly store membership inquiry or subscription entries in a website database. The inquiry and subscription tools prepare an email in the visitor's email application. Information is transmitted only when the visitor chooses to send that email.
2. Email Communications
If you contact AF2A, the Association may retain your message, contact details and related correspondence for membership administration, program coordination, recordkeeping and response purposes.
3. Hosting and Technical Records
Website hosting, content delivery or security providers may process limited technical information such as IP address, browser type, request time and security events. Their processing is governed by their own terms and applicable law.
4. Cookies and Analytics
This website does not currently use advertising cookies or a dedicated marketing analytics script. A hosting provider may use essential security or performance technologies. If AF2A introduces analytics, CRM or advertising technologies, this policy will be updated accordingly.
5. Membership Inquiries
Membership inquiry information may be reviewed by authorized persons involved in membership administration and follow-up.
6. Public Directory Information
AF2A publishes member directory information only after membership approval and appropriate publication authorization.
7. Data Retention and Security
AF2A seeks to retain information only as reasonably needed for Association purposes, legal obligations and recordkeeping. No transmission or storage method can be guaranteed completely secure.
8. Your Choices
You may request correction of information you supplied, withdraw directory publication permission or ask not to receive nonessential Association emails.
9. Contact
Privacy questions may be sent to [email protected].
