Your Choices About Your Personal Information

We may use the information we collect or receive to communicate directly with you. We may send email marketing communications about Acho. If you do not want to receive such email messages, you will be given the option to opt out. We will try to comply with your request(s) as soon as reasonably practical.

In addition, you may opt out of allowing third-party online advertising networks to collect information from our Site by adjusting the browser settings on your computer or mobile device. Please refer to your mobile device or browser’s technical information for instructions on how to delete and disable cookies, and other tracking tools.

Protection of Personal Information

Acho cares about the security of your Personal Information, and we make reasonable efforts to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk associated with the processing of your Personal Information. We maintain organizational, technical, and administrative procedures designed to protect your Personal Information against unauthorized access, deletion, loss, alteration, and misuse. Unfortunately, no data transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. If you believe that your interaction with us is not secure, please contact us immediately.

You are responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your unique password and account information, and for controlling access to your email communications from Acho. Your privacy settings may also be affected by changes to the functionality of third-party sites and services that you add to the Acho Service, such as single sign on. Acho is not responsible for the functionality or security measures of any third party. Upon becoming aware of a breach of your Personal Information, we will notify you as quickly as we can and will provide timely information relating to the breach as it becomes known in accordance with any applicable laws and regulations or as is reasonably requested by you.

Cookies

Yes. We use cookies to remember information so that you don’t have to re-enter it during your visit or the next time you visit the Site, to understand and save your preferences for future visits, to compile aggregate data about site traffic and site interaction, to provide custom, personalized content, support, or information, including advertising. Unlike persistent Cookies, session Cookies are deleted when you log off from the Services and close your browser. Although most browsers automatically accept Cookies, you can change your browser options to stop automatically accepting Cookies or to prompt you before accepting Cookies. Please note, however, that if you don’t accept Cookies, you may not be able to access all portions or features of the Site or the Services. At present, there is no industry standard for recognizing Do Not Track browser signals, so we do not currently respond to them.

Who at Acho may access your Personal Information?

Designated members of our staff may access Personal Information to help our customers with any questions they have, including help using our Services, investigating security issues, or following up on bug fixes with a customer. This activity is logged in our system for compliance, and we maintain different levels of access for its employees depending on their role in our company.

Do we disclose any information to outside parties?

Except as set out below, we do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties your Personal Information.

  • We may share your Personal Information with other companies owned by or under common ownership as Acho, which also includes our subsidiaries (i.e., any organization we own or control).

  • These companies will use your Personal Information in the same way as we can under this Privacy Policy, unless otherwise specified.

  • We may disclose your Personal Information to third-party service providers (for example, payment processing and data storage and processing facilities) that we use to provide the Services.

  • We limit the Personal Information provided to these service providers to that which is reasonably necessary for them to perform their functions, and we require them to agree to maintain the confidentiality of such Personal Information.

  • We may contract with third-party service providers to assist us in better understanding our Site visitors.

  • These service providers are not permitted to use the information collected on our behalf except to help us conduct and improve our business.

  • We may also release your Personal Information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce our site policies, or protect our or others’ rights, property, or safety.

  • In particular, we may release your Personal Information to third parties as required to (i) satisfy any applicable law, regulation, subpoena/court order, legal process or other government request, (ii) enforce our Terms of Service, including the investigation of potential violations thereof, (iii) investigate and defend ourselves against any third party claims or allegations, (iv) protect against harm to the rights, property or safety of Acho, its users or the public as required or permitted by law and (v) detect, prevent or otherwise address criminal (including fraud or stalking), security or technical issues.

  • In the event that we enter into, or intend to enter into, a transaction that alters the structure of our business, such as a merger, reorganization, joint venture, assignment, sale, or change of ownership, we may share Personal Information for the purpose of facilitating and completing the transaction.

How do we handle global transfers and processing of your Personal Information?

Personal Information may be stored and processed in any country where we have operations, or where we engage service providers. This means that we may collect your Personal Information from, transfer it to, and store and process it in the United States and other countries outside of where you live. For example, some of our third-party providers may be located in different countries. Where this is the case, we will take steps to make sure the right security measures are taken so that your privacy rights continue to be protected as outlined in this Privacy Policy. By submitting your Personal Information, you’re agreeing to this transfer, storing or processing.

If you are located in the European Union or other regions with laws governing data collection and use that may differ from U.S. law, please note that we may transfer information, including Personal Information, to a country and jurisdiction that does not have the same data protection laws as your jurisdiction. If we transfer your Personal Information from the E.U. and process it in the United States, we do so in accordance with applicable law. In certain situations, we may be required to disclose personal information in response to lawful requests by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements.

Retention of your Personal Information

We retain personal information we collect from you where we have an ongoing legitimate business need to do so (for example, to comply with applicable legal, tax or accounting requirements, to enforce our agreements or comply with our legal obligations).When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize it or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing, until deletion is possible.When processing Customer Content on behalf of our customers, we will retain Customer Content for as long as our customer instructs us to and/or as required by applicable law.

Payments

We may provide paid products and/or services within Service. In that case, we use third-party services for payment processing (e.g. payment processors).

We will not store or collect your payment card details. That information is provided directly to our third-party payment processors whose use of your personal information is governed by their Privacy Policy. These payment processors adhere to the standards set by PCI-DSS as managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, which is a joint effort of brands like Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Discover. PCI-DSS requirements help ensure the secure handling of payment information.

The payment processors we work with are:

Analytics

We may use third-party Service Providers to monitor and analyze the use of our Service.

  • Google Analytics
