This Privacy Policy covers our (Acuity Technology Partners, LLC and our respective affiliates and related entities) treatment of personally identifiable information (“Personal Information”) that we gather when you are accessing or using our website(s) (the “Site” or “System”). This policy does not apply to the practices of companies that we do not own or control, or to individuals that we do not employ or manage. This policy also does not apply to information you choose to disclose publicly on the Site.
Personal Information We Collect
We receive and store any information you provide to us. The types of Personal Information collected may include your real name, username, email address, IP address, location, browser information, browsing history, transactions, your communications to us, and any other information necessary for us to provide our services. Please do not submit any confidential, proprietary, or sensitive personally identifiable information (e.g., Social Security Number, date of birth, driver’s license number; or financial information). If you submit any of this or similar information, you do so at your own risk and we will not be liable to you or responsible for consequences of your submission.
Personal Information Collect Automatically
Whenever you interact with the Site, we automatically receive and record information on our server logs from your browser including, but not limited to, your IP address, “cookie” information, device information, certain location information, and the page you requested. “Cookies” are identifiers we transfer to your device through our web interface that allow certain functions to perform as designed within the Site, and also to allow us to recognize your device and tell us how and when pages in our site are visited and by how many people. We may also record the referring page or service that linked you to us; other information about the type of web browser, computer, platform, related software, and settings you are using; any search terms you have entered on the Site; and other usage activity and data logged by our servers. You may be able to change the preferences on your device to prevent or limit your device’s acceptance of cookies, but this may prevent you from taking advantage of the Site’s best features. When we collect usage information (such as the numbers and frequency of visitors to the Site), we only use this data in aggregate form, and not in a manner that would identify you personally. For example, this aggregate data tells us how often users use parts of the Site, so that we can make the Site appealing to as many users as possible. We may also provide this aggregate information to our partners, so that they can understand how often people use their services and our Site, so that they, too, can provide you with an optimal online experience.

We may use the Personal Information we collect for our legitimate business purposes, including providing our services and products to you, improving the Site, improving our customer service, processing transactions, marketing purposes, and managing our business needs. We do not sell your personal information to third-parties. We may also share Personal Information with our affiliates and trusted third parties and services, such as Google Analytics.

As part of the Site, you may receive communications from us, whether by email or other means. We and our agents may send you email, contact you, or engage you in other communication that we or they determine relate to your use of the Site.
Affiliated Businesses and Third-Parties
In certain situations, businesses or third-party websites with which we are affiliated may sell items or provide services to you through the Site (either alone or jointly with us). You can recognize when an affiliated business is associated with such a transaction or service, and we will share your Personal Information with that affiliated business only to the extent that it is related to such transaction or service. One such service may include the ability for you to choose to automatically transmit Third Party Account Information to your Site profile or to automatically transmit information in your Site profile to your third-party account. We have no control over the policies and practices of any third-party.
Protecting Us & Others
We reserve the right to access, read, preserve, and disclose any information that we reasonably believe is necessary to comply with law or court order; enforce or apply our conditions of use and other agreements; or protect the rights, property, or safety of us, our employees, our users, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction.
Your Rights
In certain circumstances, you have the following rights: the right to be told how we use your information and obtain access to your information; the right to have your information rectified or erased or place restrictions on processing your information; the right to object to the processing of your information (e.g., for direct marketing purposes); the right to have any information you provided to us on an automated basis returned to you in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, or sent directly to another company, where technically feasible (“data portability”); where the processing of your information is based on your consent, the right to withdraw that consent subject to legal or contractual restrictions; the right to object to any decisions based on the automated processing of your personal data, including profiling; and the right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority responsible for data protection matters (e.g. in the UK, the Information Commissioner’s Office). If you request a copy of your information, you may be required to pay a statutory fee. If we hold any information about you that is incorrect or if there are any changes to your details, please let us know so that we can keep our records accurate and up to date. If you withdraw your consent to the use of your personal information for purposes set out in our Privacy Policy, we may not be able to provide you with access to all or parts of the Site. We will retain your personal information for the duration of our business relationship and afterward for as long as is necessary and relevant for our legitimate business purposes, in accordance with applicable laws and regulation. In the event we no longer have a legitimate business purpose to retain your personal information, we will dispose of it in a secure manner (without further notice to you).
Your Rights (EU and UK Citizens)
If the General Data Protection Regulation applies to you because you are in the European Union (or the UK-GDPR for UK citizens), you have the following rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data:
The right to be informed – that’s an obligation on us to inform you how we use your personal data (and that’s what we’re doing in this Privacy Policy);
The right of access – that’s a right to make what’s known as a “data subject access request” for copy of the personal data we hold about you;
The right to rectification – that’s a right to make us correct personal data about you that may be incomplete or inaccurate;
The right to erasure – that’s also known as the “right to be forgotten” where in certain circumstances you can ask us to delete the personal data we have about you (unless there’s an overriding legal reason we need to keep it);
The right to restrict processing – that’s a right for you in certain circumstances to ask us to suspend processing personal data;
The right to data portability – that’s a right for you to ask us for a copy of your personal data in a common format (for example, a .csv file);
The right to object – that’s a right for you to object to us processing your personal data (for example, if you object to us processing your data for direct marketing); and
Rights in relation to automated decision making and profiling – that’s a right you have for us to be transparent about any profiling we do, or any automated decision making.
These rights are subject to certain rules around when you can exercise them.
If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please contact us at CONTACT EMAIL.
You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights), but we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive, or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.
We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.
We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it may take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.
We have appointed a data privacy manager who is responsible for overseeing questions in relation to this Privacy Policy. If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, including any requests to exercise your legal rights, please contact the data privacy manager using the details herein.
If you are a UK citizen, you have the right to make a complaint at any time to the Information Commissioner’s Office (“ICO”), the UK supervisory authority for data protection issues (www.ico.org.uk). We would, however, appreciate the chance to deal with your concerns before you approach the ICO so please contact us in the first instance.
Other Information
You may opt not to disclose information, but keep in mind that some information may be needed to communicate with us or to take advantage of some of our special features. You may be able to add, update, or delete certain information as explained above. When you do so, however, we may maintain a copy of the unrevised information in our records. We may use any aggregated data derived from or incorporating your Personal Information after you update or delete it, but not in a manner that would identify you personally. If you do not wish to receive email or other mail from us, please email us at CONTACT EMAIL. Please note that if you do not want to receive legal notices from us, such as this Privacy Policy, those legal notices will still govern your use of the Site, and you are responsible for reviewing such legal notices for changes.
