We encourage you to read those privacy policies to learn how they collect and use your information.
 

 
We collect information about your visit that does not identify you personally. We can tell the computer, browser, and web service you are using. We also know the date, time, and pages you visit. Collecting this information helps us design the site to suit your needs. In the event of a known security or virus threat, we may collect information on the web content you view.
 

 
When you visit our website, we may request and collect the following categories of personal information from you: 
  • Contact information 
  • License numbers or other official document information to verify your identity 
  • Aviation-related background e.g. whether you are a flight instructor or mechanic
 

 
Our principal purpose for collecting personal information online is to provide you with what you need and want, address security and virus concerns, and to ease the use of our website.

We will only use your information for the purposes you intended, to address security or virus threats, or for the purposes required under the law. See “How We Use the Information You Provide” to learn more.

Throughout our website, we will let you know whether the information we ask you to provide is voluntary or required. By providing personally identifiable information, you grant us consent to use this information, but only for the primary reason you are giving it. We will ask you to grant us consent before using your voluntarily provided information for any secondary purposes, other than those required under the law.

A user's personal identifying information will not be transferred to any other party unless otherwise stated at the time of collection. While ACM will seek to require third parties with whom it has agreements to follow appropriate privacy policies, ACM does not bear any responsibility for any actions or policies of such third parties.
 

 
Properly securing the information we collect online is a primary commitment. To help us do this, we take the following steps to:
  • Employ internal access controls to ensure that the only people who see your information are those with a need to do so to perform their official duties

  • Secure the areas where we hold hard copies of information we collect online
  • Perform regular backups of the information we collect online to insure against loss
  • Use technical controls to secure the information we collect online including but not limited to:
    • Secure Socket Layer (SSL)
    • Encryption
    • Firewalls
    • Password protections
  • We periodically test our security procedures to ensure personnel and technical compliance
  • We employ external access safeguards to identify and prevent unauthorized tries of outsiders to hack into, or cause harm to, the information in our systems

This site will collect no personal identifying information about individuals except when specifically and knowingly provided by such individuals. In addition, ACM may create a temporary "cookie" in the memory of an ACM Site user's computer. This temporary cookie disappears when the user's browser session is ended. The cookie itself does not contain any personal identifying information, although it will enable ACM to relate a user's profile or use of Site information to information that the user has specifically knowingly provided to ACM.
 
 

 
Any users submitting payment and/or credit card information to ACM for use in the online purchase of ACM products and services should NOT submit this information unless they are confident that they are doing so within a secure web environment. Secure pages can usually be verified by popup browser messages and by looking for security emblems displayed in most browser windows. Consult your browser documentation and/or internet service provider for details.
