At AXA APH, we will only collect personal information which is necessary to provide you with a financial service or product.

On our web site we collect data to help us determine which pages are most popular, peak usage times and other information that helps us make our web site easier and more efficient for you to use. When you visit our web site we ask you to register your name and e-mail address with us and set a "cookie" on your machine (this is a small piece of system information stored on your hard drive) so when you next visit our site it links to your personal information that is stored on our system. If you do not wish us to use a cookie you can set your browser so it will not accept them.

AXA APH reserves the right to determine the manner in which the information is accessed. If we deny you access we will provide you with a reason and, depending on the circumstances of the denial, we may provide sufficient access to information through mutually agreeable intermediaries to meet the needs of both parties
