ACMI Site/Membership Registration Forms

Our site's membership and registration forms require users to give us contact information (like name and email address) and demographic information. We may use customer contact information from the registration forms to send the user information about our association. The customer's contact information is also used to contact the visitor when necessary. Information regarding method of payment is collected for conference registration.

External Links

The ACMI site contains links to other external web sites that do not fall under ACMI’s domain. ACMI is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such external web sites.

E-Commerce

Our site uses a link to a third party conference service for conference registration. On that site we collect visitor's contact information (like email address) and method of payment. Contact information is used to process orders and to send information about our association and about the conferences. User payment information that is collected is used to check the users' qualifications and bill the user for products and services.

Surveys

Online surveys may ask respondents for contact information (like email address) and demographic information (like zip code, age). We also may use contact data from our surveys to send the user information about our association.

Public Forums

This site may make chat rooms, forums, List Serves and message boards available to its users. Please remember that any information that is disclosed in these areas becomes public information and you should exercise caution when deciding to disclose your personal information. Although ACMI tries to protect your personal information when using these public forums, ACMI cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk. It is also not ACMI’s responsibility for maintaining the secrecy of any passwords you set up and/or any account information you have disclosed.

Security

This site has security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our control.
