Collection of Personal Information

At some ACS Connect websites (“The Site”), we ask you to provide personal information, such as your e-mail address, name, home or work address, or telephone number. We may collect additional information about your interaction with The Site. For example, we may use website analytics tools on our site to retrieve information from your browser, including the site you came from, the search engine(s) and the keywords you used to find our site, the pages you view within our site, your browser add-ons, and your browser's width and height. We may also use technologies such as cookies to collect information about the pages you view, the links you click and other actions you take on our sites and services. Additionally, we collect certain standard information that your browser sends to every website you visit, such as your IP address, browser type and language, access times and referring Web site addresses.

When you receive newsletters or promotional e-mail from ACS Connect, we may use customized links or similar technologies to determine whether the e-mail has been opened and which links you click in order to provide you more focused e-mail communications or other information.

In order to offer you a more consistent and personalized experience in your interactions with ACS Connect, information collected through one ACS Connect service may be combined with information obtained through other ACS Connect services. We may also supplement the information we collect with information obtained from other companies.

Use of Personal Information

ACS Connect collects and uses your personal information to operate and improve its sites and services. These uses may include providing you with more effective customer service; making the sites or services easier to use by eliminating the need for you to repeatedly enter the same information; performing research and analysis aimed at improving our products, services and technologies; and displaying content and advertising that are customized to your interests and preferences.

We also use your personal information to communicate with you. We may send certain mandatory service communications such as welcome letters, billing reminders, information on technical service issues, and security announcements.

Sharing of Personal Information

Except as described in this Policy, we will not disclose your personal information outside of ACS Connect and its controlled subsidiaries and affiliates without your consent. Some ACS Connect sites allow you to choose to share your personal information with select ACS Connect partners so that they can contact you about their products, services or offers.

Some ACS Connect services may be co-branded and offered in conjunction with another company. If you purchase or use such services, both ACS Connect and the other company may receive information collected in conjunction with the co-branded services.

We occasionally hire other companies to provide limited services on our behalf,such as handling the processing and delivery of mailings, providing customer support, hosting websites, processing transactions, or performing statistical analysis of our services. Those service providers will be permitted to obtain only the personal information they need to deliver the service. They are required to maintain the confidentiality of the information and are prohibited from using it for any other purpose.

We may access or disclose information about you, including the content of your communications, in order to: (a) comply with the law or respond to lawful requests or legal process; (b) protect the rights or property of ACS Connect or our customers, including the enforcement of our agreements or policies governing your use of the services; or (ac) act on a good faith belief that such access or disclosure is necessary to protect the personal safety of ACS Connect employees, customers or the public.

Communication Preferences

You can stop the delivery of future promotional e-mail from The Site by following the specific instructions in the e-mail you receive. These choices do not apply to the display of online advertising. Nor do they apply to the receipt of mandatory service communications that are considered part of certain ACS connect services, which you may receive periodically unless you cancel the service.

Display of Advertising

Some of the Web sites and online services we offer, as well as those of our partners, are supported by advertising. When we display online advertisements to you, we will place a persistent cookie on your computer in order to recognize your computer each time we display an ad to you. Because we may serve advertisements on many different Web sites, we are able to compile information over time about where you, or others who are using your computer, saw and/or clicked on the advertisements we display. We use this information to make predictions about your characteristics, interests or preferences and to display targeted advertisements that we believe may be of interest to you. We may also associate this information with your subsequent visit, purchase or other activity on participating advertisers’ Web sites in order to determine the effectiveness of the advertisements.

While we may use some of the information we collect in order to personalize the ads we show you, we designed our systems to select ads based only on data that does not personally and directly identify you. For example, we may select the ads we display according to certain general interest categories or segments that we have inferred based on (a) demographic or interest data, including any you may have provided when creating an account (e.g. age, zip or postal code, gender), demographic or interest data acquired from other companies, and a general geographic location derived from your IP address, and (b) the pages you vie wand links you click when using ACS Connect’s and its advertising partners’ Websites and services.

When we display personalized ads, we take a number of steps designed to protect your privacy. For example, we store page views, clicks and search terms used for ad personalization separately from your contact information or other data that directly identifies you (such as your name, e-mail address, etc.). Further, we have built in technological and process safeguards designed to prevent the unauthorized correlation of this data.

Security of Personal Information

ACS connect is committed to protecting the security of your personal information.We use a variety of security technologies and procedures to help protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. For example,we store the personal information you provide on computer systems with limited access, which are located in controlled facilities. When we transmit highly confidential information (such as a credit card number or password) over the Internet, we protect it through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.

Ia password is used to help protect your accounts and personal information, it is your responsibility to keep your password confidential. Do not share this information with anyone. If you are sharing a computer with anyone you should always log out before leaving a site or service to protect access to your information from subsequent users.
