Cookies
We sometimes use an Internet device called a cookie to store login or other information on your computer. A cookie is a small amount of information that a web site transfers to your computer's hard drive. We use cookies to simplify your access and to tailor our services to your needs and interests. For some services, we offer users the choice of having an ID or password stored in a cookie so that you do not need to re-enter it when you return to the site. We do not store credit card numbers in cookies. No other site can read a cookie set by ACRA, and we cannot read a cookie that another web site wrote to your computer. Most Internet browsers are set to accept cookies. Users can reset browsers to refuse cookies and still use our web site, although access may be slower and less convenient.

We use a third-party contractor to monitor how our guests use our web site and to determine which of our online features they prefer. We report information to our contractor about our customers and the products and services they order, as well as aggregated, non-identifiable information about our guests' use of our site, solely for our internal use.

We ask each registered user to choose whether to receive promotional email updates about products and services offered by ACRA, and we will honor the choices made.

ACRA relies on various service providers and other contractors to support its Internet sites and ACRA’s business operations. ACRA shares information with contractors who directly support the Internet services and who only use the information on our behalf in accordance with this policy. These third parties own privacy notices govern any information that they may collect on their own. When necessary or appropriate, we may disclose information in response to a court order or subpoena or when otherwise legally required. We may also disclose information as appropriate to protect our web site or legal rights, or in connection with a sale or merger involving the ACRA assets or businesses for which the information is maintained.

From time to time, ACRA compiles online transaction and registration information for internal analyses such as researching and identifying market segments and needs.

ACRA employees are also responsible for the internal security of the information. Employees who violate ACRA privacy policies are subject to a range of disciplinary actions.
