We will not actively collect Personal Information for the purpose of sale or marketing in a way that specifically identifies the individual. In other words, we don’t sell customer lists. You may withdraw your consent to our processing of your Personal Information at any time. However, withdrawing consent may result in your inability to continue using some or all of the Services.

2. Collection of Information We use Personal Information (defined below) to communicate with you as part of the experience, to personalize your experience, and to allow you to use the Services as a whole.

We will maintain the confidentiality of any contact information you provide to us on registering with the acinfotech website and will use it only for the purposes for which we have collected it (subject to the exclusions and disclosures we have listed below), unless you agree that we may disclose it to other third parties.
Two types of information may be collected through the Services: Personal Information and Non-Personal Information. This Privacy Statement does not extend to the collection, use or disclosure of the following information which is currently not limited by applicable privacy laws: (a) information that is publicly available, such as names, addresses, telephone numbers and electronic address when listed in a directory or made available through directory assistance; or (b) Non-Personal Information (as defined further below).
(a) Personal Information is personally identifiable information, such as your name, address, e-mail address, credit card information, birth date, gender and occupation. At the time of collection, we will clearly identify the information being collected and the purposes for which it will be used. It is always your choice whether or not to provide Personal Information but if you choose not to provide certain requested Personal Information, in some instances you may not be able to register to use the acinfotech.com website or be able to access and use the acinfotech website at all. In other instances, your choice not to provide certain other Personal Information may mean that you will not be able to use certain features of the acinfotech.com website.
(b) Non-Personal Information is information of an anonymous nature, such as an Internet Protocol Address (IP Address) or operating system being used by visitors to the acinfotech website. Aggregate information, such as demographic statistics of our users (e.g. average age or geographical allocation of our users), number of visitors, what pages users access or visit, and average time spent on the acinfotech website. Business contact information such as the name, title, business address, e-mail address, or telephone number of a business or professional person or an employee of an organization is not considered Personal Information.
Although the use of certain Non-Personal Information collected, used or disclosed through the Internet as described herein is not restricted (and to the extent that such is the case, the obligations under this Privacy Statement do not apply to such information), we provide information in this Privacy Statement about the collection of such information for the sake of transparency with respect to the operation of the acinfotech website. Such Non-Personal Information is collected or derived by us in the course of operating the acinfotech website.

(c) Feedback Advertisements appearing on the acinfotech.com website may be delivered to visitors or members by us or one or more third-party web advertisers. These third party web advertisers may set cookies. These cookies allow the advertisement server operated by that third party to recognize your device each time they send you an online advertisement. Accordingly, advertisement servers may compile information about where or whether you viewed their advertisements and which advertisements you clicked on. This information allows web advertisers to deliver targeted advertisements that they believe will be of most interest to you. This Privacy Statement does not cover the use of cookies by any third-party web advertisers.
