PRIVACY POLICY

We take your privacy seriously. Please read the following to learn more about our privacy policy.
 

What this Policy Covers

  • This policy covers how ACMA/ICPA treats personal information that we collect and receive, including information related to your past use of our products and services. Personal information is information about you that is personally identifiable like your name, address, email address, or phone number, and that is not otherwise publicly available.
  • This policy does not apply to the practices of companies that ACMA/ICPA does not own or control, or to people that we do not employ or manage.


Registration and Membership

The information you provide will be kept confidential and used to support your customer relationship with ACMA and ICPA. Our site's registration form requires users to give us contact information (name, contact information and email address). We use customer contact information from the registration form to send the customer printed information about information about upcoming shows and programs that both ACMA and ICPA offer.

Personal Information Disclosure

ACMA and ICPA will not give or sell any information regarding you or your order to any outside organization for its use in marketing or solicitation without your consent. ACMA/ICPA may release personally identifiable information when required to by law.

Third Party Sites

This site contains links to other sites. ACMA/ICPA is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such Web sites.

Security

This site has security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our control. All account information you use or supply on ACMA’s or ICPA’s Web site when ordering or tracking products is completely secure. We use the most advanced encryption technology to protect you from unauthorized use of information supplied on our Web site.

Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is the industry standard security protocol used to encode sensitive information such as credit card numbers that pass between your personal computer and ACMA/ICPA's e-Commerce site. SSL works by creating a temporary, shared "key" or session that lets only the computers on either end of a transmission scramble and unscramble information. The SSL transmission is indecipherable by any individuals or servers that relay the message between the sender and the receiver. When your web browser enters ACMA/ICPA's secure Web site, our server hosting the site acknowledges your web browser with a "server hello." In return, your browser responds with a "client hello." This communication allows for the browser and server to determine the level of encryption they both support and will use. Once "hellos" are exchanged, your browser will ask for ACMA/ICPA's "digital certificate." The certificate acts as our "commerce ID" to ensure you that the transactions are between you and ACMA/ICPA. Companies receive digital certificates from a Certificate Authority, such as VeriSign Inc. A Certificate Authority verifies a company's identification and then issues a unique certificate as proof of identity

Next the browser and the server create a "master key." This master key is a codebook that both sides use to encode and decode transmissions. Only your browser and our server share that master key which is good only for that particular session. The unique key allows your browser and our server to exchange sensitive information in a way third parties can't understand.

Once your transactions are complete and you leave our secure site, the master key you once held with the server becomes useless. When you reenter the secure site, the hello, digital certificate and master key process start over again.
