The Associated Colleges of the South (ACS) places a high priority on protecting your privacy. This privacy policy was created to demonstrate the ACS’ firm commitment to the privacy of our members and website users. This policy explains what types of information is collected by the ACS’ website, www.acsouth.edu, and how this information is used.
What Personally Identifiable Information is Collected
ACS members that register for the member portal and individuals who request information voluntarily provide us with contact information (such as name and e-mail address). We may use this information for specific, limited purposes. You may always “opt out,” either now or at any time in the future if you do not wish to receive our messages.
IP addresses
ACS uses your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server, to administer www.acsouth.edu and for statistical metrics used to track website visitor traffic.
How Your Information May Be Used
We use your personal information to provide you with personalized service; to send e-mail alerts to you; to answer your requests; etc. You may choose to opt out at any time, which will cease all communications from us. We may also use your information to track visitor activity on our website. This lets us see which of our features are the most popular so we can better serve our users’ needs. It also lets us provide aggregate data about our traffic (not identifying you personally, but showing how many visitors used which features, for example) to outside software and utilities.
Email Privacy
ACS does not provide, sell, or rent email addresses to anyone outside the organization.
External Links
The ACS website (www.acsouth.edu) includes links to external websites. These links do not fall under the acsouth.edu domain and ACS is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of external websites. Your use of any linked website is solely at your own risk.
Modifications
We may amend this privacy policy from time to time; please review it periodically. We maintain the option to modify this privacy at any time by electronic notice posted on our website. Your continued use of our website after the date that such notices are posted will be deemed to be your agreement to the changed terms.
