Acendi Interactive encourages you to review the privacy statements of websites you choose to link to from Authentic-ID.com so that you can understand how those websites collect, use and share your information.

Acendi Interactive may also contact you via surveys to conduct research about your opinion of current services or of potential new services that may be offered.

Acendi Interactive does not sell, rent or lease its customer lists to third parties. Acendi Interactive may, from time to time, contact you on behalf of external business partners about a particular offering that may be of interest to you. In those cases, your unique personally identifiable information (e-mail, name, address, telephone number) is not transferred to the third party.

Use of Cookies
The Authentic-ID.com website may use "cookies" to help you personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.

One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize Authentic-ID.com pages, or register with Authentic-ID.com site or services, a cookie helps Authentic-ID.com to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the same Authentic-ID.com website, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the Authentic-ID.com features that you customized.

You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the Acendi Interactive services or websites you visit.

Security of your Personal Information
Authentic-ID.com secures your personal information from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. Authentic-ID.com secures the personally identifiable information you provide on computer servers in a controlled, secure environment, protected from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. When personal information (such as a credit card number) is transmitted to other websites, it is protected through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.

Changes to this Statement
Acendi Interactive will occasionally update this Statement of Privacy to reflect company and customer feedback. Acendi Interactive encourages you to periodically review this Statement to be informed of how Acendi Interactive is protecting your information.
