The American Collectors Association of Texas (ACATX) has established this Privacy Policy for acaoftexas.org and all related Web sites so you can understand how we intend to treat your information.
This Privacy Notice sets forth the information gathering, use, and dissemination practices of ACATX ("Company") in connection with the World Wide Web site located at https://acaoftexas.org (its "website"). This Privacy Notice addresses Company's practices regarding information collected only directly through or from its website - it does not address or govern any information gathering, use, or dissemination practices related to information collected other than directly through or from its website, including, without limitation, from or via telephone, facsimile, postal mail, personal delivery, or other or additional offline means or media.
Company collects, uses, and stores information on the domain you use to access its website, the Internet address of the site from which you linked directly to its website, and the date and time of your visit to its website. This information may be used to measure the number of visitors to the various pages on the Company website, to help make improvements to the information contained on the site, and to better serve site visitors. Company also collects, uses, and stores the e-mail addresses of users that communicate with Company via e-mail, information knowingly provided by website users, and information regarding which website pages users access.
Personal information contained in an e-mail sent by individuals may be used by Company to answer questions, follow-up on suggestions or complaints, process requests or transactions, or improve the level of service Company provides. E-mail posted or sent through this website may not be secure against interception by unauthorized individuals.
Company may share personally identifiable information obtained on its website with any company or marketing group internal to Company. Except as provided below, Company does not share any personally identifiable information obtained on its website with or sell information obtained on this website to any company or marketing group external to Company. Company may, however, share aggregate information with other persons or entities for purposes determined by Company to be appropriate. In no event shall any disclosure be made where prohibited by applicable law, rule or regulation, including but not limited to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, Fair Credit Reporting Act, and Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act.
Company may disclose identifiable information (i) to another entity with which Company enters or reasonably may enter into a corporate transaction, such as, for example, a merger, consolidation, acquisition, or asset purchase, (ii) to a third party pursuant to a subpoena, court order, or other form of legal process or in response to a request by or on behalf of any local, state, federal, or other government agency, department, or body, whether or not pursuant to a subpoena, court order, or other form of legal process, or (iii) to a third party if determined by Company in its sole judgment that such disclosure is appropriate to protect the life, health, or property of Company or any other person or entity. (The foregoing is not intended to obviate or displace any legal obligations or duties applicable to Company.)
While Company may undertake efforts to see that another party to which Company shares personal information is under a contractual obligation to use the personal information solely for the purposes for which the information was disclosed by Company, Company exercises no control over such parties and Company is not responsible for their conduct, actions, omissions, or information handling or dissemination practices. Company may change this Privacy Notice at any time. Notice of any new or revised Privacy Notice, as well as the location of the new or revised statement, will be posted on the website for at least 60 days after the change.
