We use cookies on our website and this is explained below
On various occasions, including through forms on our website, we invite or request you to submit your contact details and other information about yourself or your organisation, or to send us emails which will, of course, also identify you.
In each case, the purpose for which you are invited to give us information is clear. We will not use your information for purposes that are not clear when you provide your details, and will not disclose it outside ACIC Inc., except to service providers acting on our behalf or in other very limited circumstances, for example, with your agreement or where we are legally obliged to do so.
If we propose to use your details to send you information from ACIC Inc. about events or legal developments which we believe may be of interest to you (other than information that you have specifically requested), we give you an opportunity to tell us that you do not wish to receive such information; alternatively, you can let us know your preferences by sending an email to [email protected]
ACIC Inc. operates through various locally registered entities which we add to or reorganise from time to time. When you provide information to any part of ACIC Inc. you will in most cases be providing it to ACIC Inc. as a whole, and should be aware that it may be accessed from countries whose laws provide various levels of protection for personal data, not always equivalent to the level of protection that may be provided in your own country.
ACIC’s data protection systems and protocols are of a world class standard. We store your data on secure locations that could be on and off site (such as clouds). We also have rigorous access policies and clearance structures that are carefully assigned to team members.
