The Association of Corporate Counsel, "ACC" is committed and recognizes your need for protection and privacy issues on the Internet.

In general, you can visit our website without telling us who you are or revealing any information about yourself. We do collect the IP addresses and domain names of visitors for site administration purposes, such as to analyze this data for trends and statistics. No personal information is obtained, rather just the patterns of usage of our various users may be tracked and monitored. We may share statistical or aggregated non-personal information about our users with advertisers, business partners, sponsors and other third parties. This data is used to customize our website content and advertising to deliver a better experience to our users.

Collecting Personal Identifiable Information

There are times when we may collect personal information from you. For example, registering for the ACC annual meeting or signing up for membership. In addition, we request personal information when you register to receive additional information regarding our products and services or send us a question. If you choose not to give information we request, you can still visit most of the ACC web site, but you may be unable to access certain options, offers, and services. Unless otherwise stated, personal information provided by users will be used for marketing and promotional purposes only by ACC.

We collect the following information from you voluntarily:

1. Your name
2. Address, either work or home
3. Your birth date
4. Your law school name and graduation date
5. Jurisdictions in which you are licensed to practice law
6. Your ethnicity and gender
7. The industry of your employer

ACC sells member-mailing information through a third party vendor. Only the name, title, company and mailing address are included on these lists. Any members may remove themselves from this mail list by contacting our Membership Department at membership@acc.com.

ACC reserves the right to disclose user information in special cases, when we have reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be causing injury to or interference with (either intentionally or unintentionally) our rights or property, other web site users, or anyone else that could be harmed by such activities. We may disclose personal information in response to a subpoena or when we believe in good faith that the law requires it or to respond to an emergency situation.

Chapter Mail List Policy

Chapters are prohibited from distributing or selling member mailing lists. This includes email addresses, phone numbers, and fax numbers. ACC maintains this policy so unwanted companies, vendors, or law firms will not solicit chapter members. If a vendor or sponsor wants access to a mailing list of any chapter for solicitation purposes, they should be instructed to contact the national office. They will be subject to the mail list policy as stated in the paragraph above. Any revenue generated from the purchase of a chapter mail list through ACC mail list sales will be rebated back to the chapter.
