EFFECTIVE DATE: 6/18/2021

This website collects any data you give us on one of our contact forms, including our newsletter subscription form. It also collects data about use of the website, including through cookies. This Privacy Policy lists the data AccentAccurate, LLC (“we,” “us,” “our”) collects at this site and lists our policies and procedures related to that data.

This Privacy Policy relates only to www.accentaccurate.com (our “Website”) and our company, not to any third-party site or service linked to our Website or recommended or referred by us or through our Website.

A. Personal Data We Collect

As you can see by reviewing them, the contact forms at our Website collect first name, last name, phone number, and e-mail address.

Outside the contact forms, we collect data on how our website is used: number of page visits and duration, type of browser, etc. This “usage data” may include personal data, like your Internet Protocol (“IP”) address.

Some of this usage data comes through “cookies.” A cookie is a string of data our system sends your computer and then uses to identify your computer when you return to our Website. You can set up most browsers to refuse all cookies or to notify you of any cookies you receive. But if you don’t accept cookies, you won’t be able to make as efficient use of our Website.

Our Website is not meant to collect data from children or from anyone under 18. If you know of children’s information collected through our Website, please contact us at  ns@accentaccurate.com

Do Not Track Notice

Do Not Track (“DNT”) is a setting in a web browser that directs websites not to track your behavior. You can activate the DNT settings through most browsers. We do not track users across third-party Websites, so we don’t respond to DNT signals.

B. Our Use of Personal Data

We use your personal data to reply to messages you send us through our contact forms. Also, if you send us a contact form or subscribe to our newsletter, we’ll put your name and e-mail address on our notices list, so that you get e-mail notice of future services and announcements. (You can unsubscribe when you receive one of those announcements.)

We use cookies – including the personal data they collect – to improve the functionality of the Website. We also use information gained through cookies to compile statistical information about use of our Website, such as the pages users visit most often.

AccentAccurate does not sell any personal information in exchange for any monetary consideration or for any other benefit.    Please note that we might still use aggregated and de-identified personal information that doesn’t to identify you or any individual.

C. Retention of Personal Data

We retain your personal data so long as it serves the purposes listed in this Privacy Policy, including to send you blog post notices and other general messages (unless you’ve unsubscribed), to collect and monitor traffic and other usage statistics at our Website, and to comply with our legal obligations.

D. Transfer of Personal Data

We may store or process your data outside your city, province, state, or country, including through one of our contractors (described below). So your personal data may be stored in a country that operates under privacy and data protection laws different from those of your home jurisdiction.

E. Contractor and Other Third-Party Access to Personal Data

Like the operators of most websites, we use third-party services and platforms to help manage, monitor and optimize our Website and AccentAccurate’s services and to help us measure the effectiveness of our advertising, communications and how visitors use the Website. These third-party contractors include Google Analytics, and other website traffic and management tools. You will also find links to us on such third-party platforms such as Alignable, Facebook, LinkedIn, and many others. We are not responsible for the content and privacy policies of these third parties.  Please refer to their individual Terms of Service and Privacy Policy statements to better understand how they collect and use your data.

We also may disclose personal data to attorneys or law enforcement authorities to address contract violations or illegal behavior. And we disclose any information demanded in a court order or otherwise required by law or to prevent harm to persons or property. Finally, we may share personal data in connection with a corporate transaction, like a merger or sale of our company, the sale of most of our assets, or a bankruptcy.

As noted above, we compile Website usage statistics from data collected through cookies. We may publish those statistics or share them with third parties, but they don’t include personal data.

F. Protection of Personal Data

We protect the data you send in contact forms (name and e-mail address) by storing it on password-protected computers and by sharing it only with contractors who have agreed to use it only as we instruct and within the law. However, you should be aware that, once we use information in a contact form to send you an e-mail, that information is outside of our control and our contractors’ control and could be compromised online.

We do not directly store the personal data that may be included in usage data collected by cookies and other mechanisms at our site. That data is collected and stored on our behalf by our contractors, including Wix, WordPress and Google Analytics, under their security procedures. See Section E above for more information on those contractors and their policies.

Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee the security of personal data. By using our Website, you acknowledge and agree that we make no such guarantee and that you use our Website at your own risk.

G. Accessing and Correcting Your Personal Data

You can access and change any personal data we store by contacting us via e-mail, at ns@accentaccuate.com.

H. Special Terms related to the European Economic Area and California:

• If you are in the European Economic Area (“EEA”), or you reside in the State of California: this Section H applies to you.

Legal Basis for Processing:

We process (use) the personal data you give us in contact forms (name, e-mail address, other information you choose to provide) because, by filling out those forms, you’ve sent us that data and authorized us to use it.

We process usage data, like number of page visits and personal data like IP addresses, because our contractors (e.g., Google Analytics) use that data to tell us about usage of our Website. So we believe the lawful basis for processing that data is that it’s in our legitimate interests.

We will also process personal data wherever we have a legal obligation to do so—for instance, if a court subpoenas that data.

Your Rights Under the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) and California Consumer Privacy Act:

If you wish to know what personal data we hold about you, to have us remove it, or otherwise to exercise your rights, please contact us at ns@accentaccurate.com.

You also have the following rights related to your personal data, under European Union law:

• The right to access, update, or delete your personal data.

• The right of rectification—to have your information altered if it is inaccurate or incomplete.

• The right to object to our processing of your personal data.

• The right of restriction—to request that we restrict how we process your personal data.

• The right to data portability—to receive a copy of the information we have on you in a structured, machine-readable, and commonly used format.

• The right to withdraw consent to our processing of your personal data.

• The right to complain to an EEA data protection authority (a government agency) or California about our management of your personal data.

I. Amendment of This Privacy Policy

We may change this Privacy Policy at any time by posting a new version on this page or on a successor page. The new version will become effective on the date it’s posted, which will be listed at the top of the page as the new Effective Date.
