ACOT Systems ("we," "our" or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how ACOT Systems collects, uses and discloses your personal information.
This Privacy Policy applies to our website, www.acotsystems.com and its associated subdomains (collectively, our "Service") together with our application, ACOT Systems. By accessing or using our Service, you indicate that you have read, understand and agree to our collection, storage, use and disclosure of your personal information as described in this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Service.
To help explain things as clearly as possible in this Privacy Policy, whenever any of these terms are referred to, they are strictly defined as:
We collect information from you when you visit our platform, register on our site, place an order, subscribe to our newsletter, respond to a survey or fill out a form.
Any of the information we collect from you may be used in one of the following ways:
ACOT Systems will collect end user data necessary to provide ACOT Systems services to our customers.
End users may voluntarily provide us with information they have made available on social networking websites. If you provide us with such information, we may collect publicly available information from the social networking websites you have indicated. You can control the amount of information that social networking websites make public by visiting these websites and changing your privacy settings.
We receive information from third parties when you communicate with us. For example, when you send us your email address to show interest in becoming an ACOT Systems customer, we receive information from a third party that provides automated fraud detection services to ACOT Systems. Occasionally, we also collect information that is made publicly available on social networking websites. You can control the amount of information that social networking websites make public by visiting these websites and changing your privacy settings.
We may share the information we collect, both personal and non-personal, with third parties such as advertisers, contest sponsors, promotional and marketing partners, and others who provide our content or whose products or services we believe may be of interest to you. We may also share it with our current and future affiliated companies and business partners, and if we are involved in a merger, asset sale or other business reorganization, we may also share or transfer your personal and non-personal information to our successors in interest.
We may engage trusted third-party service providers to perform functions and provide services to us, such as hosting and maintenance of our servers and platform, database storage and management, email management, storage marketing, credit card processing, servicing and fulfillment of orders for products and services you may purchase through the platform. We may share your personal information, and possibly some non-personal information, with these third parties to enable them to perform these services for us and for you.
We may share portions of our log file data, including IP addresses, for analytical purposes with third parties, such as web analytics partners, application developers and advertising networks. If your IP address is shared, it may be used to estimate general location and other technology data, such as connection speed, whether you visited the Platform at a shared location, and the type of device used to visit the Platform. They may aggregate information about our advertising and what you see on the platform and then provide audits, research and reports for us and our advertisers.
We may also disclose personal and non-personal information about you to the government, law enforcement officials or private third parties as we deem, in our sole discretion, necessary or appropriate to respond to claims, legal process (including subpoenas), to protect our rights and interests or those of a third party, the safety of the public or any person, to prevent or stop any illegal, unethical or legally actionable activity, or to comply with applicable court orders, laws, rules and regulations.
ACOT Systems will collect the personal information you submit to us. We may also receive personal information about you from third parties as described above.
By submitting your email address on this platform, you agree to receive emails from us. You may unsubscribe from any of these email lists at any time by clicking on the opt-out link or other unsubscribe option included in the respective email. We only send emails to people who have authorized us to contact them, either directly or through a third party. We do not send unsolicited commercial e-mail, because we hate spam as much as you do. By submitting your email address, you also agree to allow us to use your email address for customer audience targeting on sites like Facebook, where we display personalized advertising to specific people who have opted in to receive communications from us. Email addresses submitted only through the order processing page will be used for the sole purpose of sending you information and updates related to your order. However, if you have provided us with the same email address through another method, we may use it for any of the purposes set forth in this Policy. Note: If at any time you wish to unsubscribe from receiving future emails, we include detailed unsubscribe instructions at the bottom of each email.
We retain your information only as long as we need it to provide you with ACOT Systems and to fulfill the purposes described in this policy. This is also the case for anyone with whom we share your information and who performs services on our behalf. When we no longer need to use your information and it is no longer necessary for us to retain it to comply with our legal or regulatory obligations, we will delete it from our systems or de-identify it so that we cannot identify you.
We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information when you place an order, enter, submit or access your personal information. We offer the use of a secure server. All supplied sensitive/credit information is transmitted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology and then encrypted into our Payment gateway providers database only to be accessible by those authorized with special access rights to such systems, and they are required to keep the information confidential. After a transaction, your private information (credit cards, social security numbers, financials, etc.) is never archived. However, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of the information you transmit to ACOT Systems or guarantee that your information on the service will not be accessed, disclosed, altered or destroyed by a breach of any of our physical, technical or managerial safeguards.
ACOT Systems is incorporated in {{country}}. Information collected through our website, through direct interactions with you or from the use of our support services may be transferred from time to time to our offices or personnel, or to third parties, located around the world, and may be viewed and hosted anywhere in the world, including countries that may not have laws of general applicability governing the use and transfer of such data. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, by using any of the foregoing, you voluntarily consent to the cross-border transfer and hosting of such information.
We take precautions to protect the security of your information. We have physical, electronic and managerial procedures in place to help safeguard, prevent unauthorized access, maintain data security and correctly use your information. However, neither people nor security systems, including encryption systems, are infallible. In addition, people can commit intentional crimes, make mistakes or fail to follow policies. Therefore, while we make all reasonable efforts to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. If applicable law imposes any unwaivable duty to protect your personal information, you agree that willful misconduct will be the standard used to measure our compliance with that duty.
The rights you have to request updates or corrections to the information ACOT Systems collects depend on your relationship with ACOT Systems. Personnel may update or correct their information as detailed in our internal company employment policies.
Customers have the right to request restriction of certain uses and disclosures of personally identifiable information as follows. You may contact us to (1) update or correct your personally identifiable information, (2) change your preferences with respect to communications and other information you receive from us, or (3) delete personally identifiable information maintained about you in our system (subject to the next paragraph) by terminating your account. Such updates, corrections, changes and deletions will have no effect on other information we maintain or information we have provided to third parties in accordance with this Privacy Policy prior to such update, correction, change or deletion. To protect your privacy and security, we may take reasonable steps (such as requiring a unique password) to verify your identity before granting you access to your profile or making corrections. You are responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your unique password and account information at all times.
You should be aware that it is not technologically possible to delete each and every record of the information you have provided to us from our system. The need to back up our systems to protect information from inadvertent loss means that a copy of your information may exist in a non-erasable form that will be difficult or impossible for us to locate. Immediately upon receipt of your request, all personal information stored in databases we actively use and other readily searchable means will be updated, corrected, changed or deleted, as appropriate, as soon as and to the extent reasonably and technically possible.
If you are an end user and would like to update, delete or receive any information we have about you, you may do so by contacting the organization of which you are a customer.
If you are an employee or applicant of ACOT Systems, we collect the information you voluntarily provide to us. We use the information collected for human resources purposes to administer employee benefits and screen applicants.
You may contact us to (1) update or correct your information, (2) change your preferences regarding communications and other information you receive from us, or (3) receive a record of the information we have relating to you. Such updates, corrections, changes and deletions will have no effect on other information we maintain or information we have provided to third parties in accordance with this Privacy Policy prior to such update, correction, change or deletion.
We reserve the right to transfer information to a third party in the event of a sale, merger or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of ACOT Systems or any of its corporate affiliates (as defined herein), or the portion of ACOT Systems or any of its corporate Affiliates to which the Service relates, or in the event we discontinue our business or file a petition or have filed a petition against us in bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding, provided that the third party agrees to adhere to the terms of this Privacy Policy.
We may disclose information (including personal information) about you to our corporate affiliates. For purposes of this Privacy Policy, "Corporate Affiliate" means any person or entity that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with ACOT Systems, whether by ownership or otherwise. Any information relating to you that we provide to our Corporate Affiliates will be treated by such Corporate Affiliates in accordance with the terms of this Privacy Policy.

We may collect and use information from you if you are from the European Economic Area (EEA), and in this section of our Privacy Policy we will explain exactly how and why this data is collected, and how we keep it under protection against replication or misuse.
GDPR is an EU-wide privacy and data protection law that regulates how companies protect the data of EU residents and improves the control EU residents have over their personal data.
The GDPR is relevant to any company operating globally and not just EU-based companies and EU residents. Our customers' data is important no matter where it is located, which is why we have implemented GDPR controls as our gold standard for all our operations worldwide.
Any data that relates to an identifiable or identifiable individual. The GDPR covers a broad spectrum of information that could be used on its own or in combination with other pieces of information to identify an individual. Personal data goes beyond a person's name or email address. Examples include financial information, political opinions, genetic data, biometric data, IP addresses, physical address, sexual orientation and ethnicity.
GDPR adds some new requirements regarding how companies must protect the personal data of the individuals they collect and process. It also raises the stakes for compliance by increasing enforcement and imposing greater fines for non-compliance. Beyond these facts, it's simply the right thing to do. At ACOT Systems, we firmly believe that the privacy of your data is very important and we already have robust security and privacy practices in place that go above and beyond the requirements of this new regulation.
We are committed to helping our customers comply with the data subject rights requirements of GDPR. ACOT Systems processes or stores all personal data at DPA-compliant and fully vetted providers. We store all conversations and personal data for up to 6 years, unless your account is deleted. In which case, we delete all data in accordance with our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, but will not retain it for more than 60 days.
We realize that if you work with EU customers, you must be able to provide them with the ability to access, update, retrieve and delete personal data. We have been set up as self-service from the beginning and have always given you access to your data and your customers' data. Our customer support team is here for you to answer any questions you may have about working with the API.
If you make a request, we have one month to respond to you. If you wish to exercise any of these rights, please contact us.
We do not sell our users' personal information.
For more information about these rights, please contact us.
Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions.
