ACST may compile or aggregate information that is not personally identifiable to our Visitors and/or Customers, meaning that it won't contain any Personally Identifiable Information ("PII"), or be capable of identifying any one person.

PII is information that can be used on its own or with other information to identify, contact, or locate someone else. PII has different definitions based on the state law or federal regulation. Typically, it must include someone's first name and last name, in combination with one or more of these elements: social security number, date of birth, driver's license, address, email address, checking account number, or credit/debit card number + CVV and/or PIN. Please check with your state for more information regarding PII.

We may publish summary or aggregate results relating to metrics constructed from such data and distribute or license such de-identified, aggregated data for various purposes, provided that all underlying identities are protected.

We use CAPTCHA technology to keep our Customers' experience with our Web-based Services secure from bots, spam, and abuse. If a Customer opens an account or a site while using our Websites and/or Services, they’ll create a login with a user ID and password to register or sign in. If a Customer (e.g. the church or organization) allows a congregant or an individual to create an account and/or a login, the administrator may be able to disable the login, and other terms may apply.

• When using our Websites and/or Services, you agree to provide true, accurate, current, complete registration information about yourself, and keep that information updated. If we suspect that you’re providing false information, we reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account or site.
• By creating an account or site, you agree to receive all required notices electronically, to the email address you indicated. If the email address we have on file for you is no longer valid or used, it is your responsibility to update us with the correct email address.
• You also agree to close your account or site at the end of each session and notify the administrator of any unauthorized use of your login or any other security breach. We cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply.

Protecting the confidentiality of your login is very important. While password criteria may differ among our Services, ACST requires the use of "strong passwords" with strict criteria in place to prevent others from learning your password.

• You’re responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account or site and all activities that occur under your login. We recommend that you change your password periodically.
• You may not share your login with any third-party. If you believe that your login has been stolen or is known to others, you must change your password immediately. We are not responsible if someone else accesses your account or site through information they have obtained from you.

ACST reserves the right to contact you about updates or changes regarding your account and/or Services, and to advise you about events that may affect your Services. Customers are responsible for making sure we have the correct contact information to reach you.
