Advanced Conversion Technology, Inc., (ACT) is committed to protecting your privacy. This statement details the steps we take to protect your personal information when you visit our website or use an online application that contains a link to this statement (collectively, the “sites”). This statement also covers information we receive when you contact us (e.g., to submit a comment or query or to seek support with one of our products or services). It describes the personal information that we collect, the purposes for which we use such information and your choices regarding our use of it. The steps we take to protect your personal information and how you can review and correct your personal information are also covered here.

For purposes of this statement, “personal information” means information that identifies a particular individual, such as name, postal address, email address, or phone number. When other information, such as email newsletter choices, product purchases, or consumer product preferences, is associated with personal information, this other information also becomes personal information.
