Privacy Policy
ACSControls.com websites (collectively “ACSControls.com” in this document) refer to sites hosted on ACSControls.com, ACS Controls.net, ACSControls.online, and other related domains and subdomains thereof.
This privacy policy describes how ACSControls.com uses and protects any information that you give us. We are committed to ensuring that your privacy is protected. If you provide us with personal information through ACSControls.com, you can be assured that it will only be used in accordance with this privacy statement.
Website Visitors
Like most website operators, ACSControls.com collects non-personally identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request.
ACSControls.com’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to understand better how ACSControls.com’s visitors use its website. From time to time, ACSControls.com may release non-personally identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
ACSControls.com also collects potentially personally identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. ACSControls.com does not use IP addresses to identify its visitors; however, it does not disclose such information other than under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally identifying information, as described below.
Gathering of Personally-Identifying information
Certain visitors to ACSControls.com choose to interact with ACSControls.com in ways that require ACSControls.com to gather personally identifying information. The amount and type of information that ACSControls.com gathers depends on the nature of the interaction.
In each case, ACSControls.com collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with ACSControls.com. ACSControls.com does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.
Visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities but most likely will not affect site usage.
All of the information that is collected on ACSControls.com will be handled in accordance with GDPR legislation.
Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information
ACSControls.com discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of website administrators and employees that need to know that information in order to process it on ACSControls.com’s behalf or to provide services available through ACSControls.com.
ACSControls.com will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to website administrators and employees, ACSControls.com discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only when required to do so by law, if you give permission to have your information shared, or when ACSControls.com believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of ACSControls.com, third parties, or the public at large.
If you are a registered user of the ACSControls.com website and have supplied your email address, ACSControls.com may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with ACSControls.com and our products. We primarily use our blog to communicate this type of information, so we expect to keep this type of email to a minimum.
If you send us a request (for example via a support email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. ACSControls.com takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration, or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
Use of Personal Information
We will not use the information you provide when you register for an account, attend our events, receive newsletters, use certain other services, or participate in the ACS Controls website in any other way.
We will not sell or lease your personal information to third parties unless we have your permission or are required by law to do so.
We would like to send you an email marketing communication that may be of interest to you from time to time. If you have consented to marketing, you may opt out later.
You have a right at any time to stop us from contacting you for marketing purposes. If you no longer wish to be contacted for marketing purposes, please click on the unsubscribe link at the bottom of the email.
Retention of Personal Information
We will retain your personal information on our systems only for as long as we need to for the success of the ACS Controls programs that support ACSControls.com. We keep contact information (such as mailing list information) until a user unsubscribes or requests that we delete that information from our live systems. If you choose to unsubscribe from a mailing list, we may keep certain limited information about you so that we may honor your request.
ACSControls.com will delete personal data from logs or records necessary to the operation, development, or archives of the ACS Controls website when requested. When deletion is requested or otherwise required, we will anonymize the data of data subjects and/or remove their information from publicly accessible sites if the deletion of data would break essential systems or damage the logs or records necessary to the operation, development, or archival records of the ACS Controls website.

You may have certain rights under data protection law in relation to the personal information we hold about you. In particular, you may have a right to:
