Privacy Policy

AACE respects the privacy of our members and other visitors to our website. AACE has implemented the following policy to protect online privacy, which may be amended anytime. Amendments will be posted to this web page.

01

What information does AACE collect?

AACE collects data to serve better our members and the professions we support. When you register for an account, we may collect personally identifiable information about you, such as full name, phone number and email address. If you choose to make a purchase from us, we or our third-party payment processors will collect your payment information. Our policy is to collect and store only personal information that our members and visitors knowingly provide.
02

How do we share your information?

  • Personally Identifiable Information from AACE Members, Registrants, and Other Customers. There are a number of areas on the AACE website where we ask for and collect information about you, including personally identifiable information. Where we do, it is in order to serve you better or is necessary to accomplish the service you are requesting. Examples include membership information (which may include name, address, email, telephone number and educational and professional experience information), meeting, certification and seminar registrations, security identifiers, shipping information, and product purchase information stored in online shopping carts.
    Membership and registration information is used in the AACE database, which is used to generate AACE mailing lists. This includes lists provided to geographical units of AACE, for example, AACE sections. The mailing list may be used in connection with informing you about AACE services, products, meetings, and events.
  • Non-Personally Identifiable Information from General Users. AACE does not collect personal information from users browsing our website. Users of the public areas of AACE's website browse anonymously. AACE collects aggregate data from users browsing our website. AACE uses this information for purposes of statistical analysis of website traffic. Aggregate data are only used for internal and marketing purposes, and AACE does not provide any personal identification information.
03

How is data stored and processed?

Storage and Processing. Your information collected through AACE may be stored and processed in the United States, Europe, or any other country where AACE or its subsidiaries, affiliates or service providers maintain facilities. 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 will transfer information, including personal information, to a country and jurisdiction that does not have the same data protection laws as your jurisdiction. AACE does not sell or rent email addresses to anyone outside of AACE and its organizational entities. From time to time, to better serve our members and to supplement member dues, the AACE mailing list, in part or as a whole, is released to carefully selected third-party organizations to provide you with information on technical products and services related to your profession, or that we otherwise believe is useful to our members. You may instruct us not to share information about you in the AACE mailing list with third parties by indicating this preference on your membership application when you join AACE, on your renewal form when you renew your membership, or by notifying us by email at info@aacei-za.org, or by calling us at +27-82-496-2487.
04

How do we protect your information?

AACE is concerned with protecting your privacy and data. We have taken several steps to maximize the security of financial transactions accepted on the AACE website for your protection. Credit Card processing is accomplished using secure processing services. Your entry of credit card information is encrypted when transmitted in secure mode. If, for any reason, you still feel uncomfortable submitting your credit card over the Internet, you can mail your information to us.

REGARDLESS OF THE PRECAUTIONS TAKEN BY YOU OR BY AACE, "PERFECT SECURITY" DOES NOT EXIST ON THE INTERNET. AACE CANNOT ENSURE OR WARRANT THE SECURITY OF ANY INFORMATION YOU TRANSMIT TO THIS SITE OR AACE, AND YOU TRANSMIT SUCH INFORMATION AT YOUR OWN RISK.
05

How Does AACE Use Cookies?

AACE uses cookies only to facilitate automated activity, store and track passwords, determine appropriate solicitations, and review navigation patterns. Cookies are not used to disseminate information about users over the Internet or to analyse any information that users have knowingly or unknowingly provided.
06

General AACE Web Server Security

All of the AACE web servers are registered as secure servers using industry-standard certificate techniques. This enables all communication between our servers to be verified when services are requested between computers.

All the personal information collected from you on our site, including names and addresses, is stored behind a "firewall," and defences have been erected to seek to enhance the protection of your information from outside attacks by hackers and curious visitors.
07

What Privacy Issues Arise With Links To Other Sites?
