This Privacy Policy describes how ACIDC (“ACIDC,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, discloses, and safeguards personal information in connection with your access to and use of our website located at www.acidc.site (the “Site”). This Policy applies to all visitors, registered users, subscribers, and any other individuals who interact with the Site or its associated services.

3. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

3.1 What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, smartphone, tablet, or other device) by a website when you visit it. Cookies allow the website to recognize your device, remember your preferences, and gather information about your browsing behavior over time. Cookies may be stored either temporarily for the duration of your browsing session (“session cookies”) or for a longer period on your device (“persistent cookies”).

3.2 Types of Cookies We Use

We may use the following categories of cookies on the Site:

• Essential / Strictly Necessary Cookies: These cookies are required for the Site to function properly. They enable core features such as navigation, security, and access to protected areas. These cookies do not collect personal information and cannot be disabled without significantly impairing the operation of the Site.
• Performance / Analytics Cookies: These cookies collect information about how visitors use the Site, including which pages are visited most often and how users navigate between pages. The data collected is aggregated and used solely to improve the performance of the Site.
• Functional Cookies: These cookies allow the Site to remember choices you make (such as your language preference or region) in order to provide a more personalized and enhanced experience. They may also be used to remember login credentials or form data.
• Marketing / Advertising Cookies: These cookies are used to deliver content and advertisements that are relevant to your interests, based on your browsing behavior on this Site and potentially on other websites. They may also be used to limit the number of times you see a particular advertisement and to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns.

3.3 Third-Party Cookies

In addition to cookies set by ACIDC, certain third-party service providers may set cookies on your device when you visit the Site. These may include analytics providers such as Google Analytics and advertising networks. These third parties have their own privacy policies governing the use of cookies and data collected through their services. ACIDC does not control the placement or use of third-party cookies and encourages you to review the privacy policies of any third-party services you encounter.

3.4 Managing and Disabling Cookies

You have the ability to control and manage cookies through your web browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse the placement of new cookies, delete existing cookies, and receive a warning before a cookie is placed on your device. Instructions for managing cookies can typically be found in your browser’s “Help” or “Settings” menu.

Please Note: Disabling or restricting certain cookies — particularly Essential or Functional cookies — may impair your ability to use certain features of the Site or may result in a degraded experience. ACIDC is not responsible for any reduction in Site functionality resulting from your cookie preferences.

3.5 Do Not Track (DNT) Signals

Some browsers include a “Do Not Track” (DNT) feature that sends a signal to websites requesting that your browsing not be tracked. At this time, there is no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals, and the Site does not currently alter its data collection or use practices in response to DNT browser settings. We will revisit this position as industry standards evolve.

4. Analytics

ACIDC uses third-party web analytics tools, including but not limited to Google Analytics, to help us understand how visitors interact with the Site. These tools collect information such as:

• How users arrive at the Site (traffic sources and referring URLs)
• Which pages are viewed and in what order
• How long users spend on the Site and on individual pages
• General geographic location (at the country or regional level, based on IP address)
• Device types, browser types, and operating systems used to access the Site

Where possible, analytics data is aggregated and anonymized before it is processed or reviewed by ACIDC. We use this information solely to evaluate and improve the Site’s content, structure, and user experience, and not to identify or target individual users.

Opt-Out Options: If you wish to prevent Google Analytics from collecting data about your use of the Site, you may install the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-On, available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This add-on instructs the Google Analytics JavaScript to transmit no information about your visit to Google Analytics. Additional opt-out mechanisms may be available through your browser or device settings as described in Section 3.4 above.

5. Sharing Your Information with Third Parties

5.1 We Do Not Sell Your Personal Data

ACIDC does not sell, rent, trade, or otherwise transfer your personal information to third parties for monetary compensation or other consideration. Your personal data is not a product we offer to others.

5.2 Circumstances Under Which We May Share Information

While we do not sell your data, we may share your information with certain third parties under the following limited circumstances:

• Service Providers: We may share your information with trusted third-party vendors and service providers who assist us in operating the Site or delivering our services. These may include web hosting providers, email delivery services, analytics platforms, cybersecurity services, and customer support tools. These service providers are authorized to use your information only as necessary to provide services to ACIDC and are subject to confidentiality obligations.
• Legal Authorities and Compliance: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law, regulation, court order, subpoena, or other governmental request, or when we believe in good faith that such disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of ACIDC, our users, or the public.
• Business Partners (With Consent): In limited circumstances, we may share information with business partners or collaborators for specific purposes, but only where you have provided explicit consent to such sharing.
• Business Transfers: In the event that ACIDC undergoes a merger, acquisition, reorganization, asset sale, or similar corporate transaction, your information may be transferred to the succeeding entity. You will be notified of any such change in accordance with Section 11 of this Policy.

5.3 Third-Party Service Providers

The following is a non-exhaustive list of third-party services that may process data in connection with the Site. Each provider operates under its own privacy policy:

If you are visiting the Site from outside the United States, please be aware that your personal information may be transferred to, stored in, and processed in the United States or in other countries where our service providers maintain operations. These countries may have data protection laws that differ from — and in some cases may offer less protection than — the laws of your country of residence.

Where required, ACIDC takes appropriate measures to ensure that international transfers of personal data are conducted in compliance with applicable law. These measures may include:

• Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs): Contractual provisions approved by the European Commission or other competent authorities that require the receiving party to protect personal data in accordance with applicable data protection standards.
• Adequacy Decisions: Transfers to countries that have been recognized by the European Commission or other regulators as providing an adequate level of data protection.

GDPR Compliance: For users located in the European Union (EU) or European Economic Area (EEA), ACIDC processes personal data in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (“GDPR”). Where applicable, we rely on lawful bases for processing as described in Section 7.2 of this Policy.

8. Data Protection and Security

8.1 Security Measures

ACIDC takes the security of your personal information seriously and has implemented a variety of technical and organizational measures designed to protect it from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, loss, or destruction. These measures include, but are not limited to:

• SSL/TLS Encryption: Data transmitted between your browser and the Site is encrypted using industry-standard Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) or Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocols.

In the event of a data breach that affects your rights and freedoms, we will notify you and the relevant authorities as required by applicable law.

8.3 Data Retention

ACIDC retains personal information only for as long as is necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, accounting, or reporting requirements. When determining the appropriate retention period, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure, the purposes for which we process the data, and applicable legal requirements. When your personal information is no longer needed, we will securely delete or anonymize it in accordance with our data retention procedures.

9. Children’s Privacy

The Site is not directed to, and is not intended for use by, children under the age of 13 years (or under the age of 16 years for users located in the European Union or European Economic Area, in accordance with GDPR requirements).

If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child without appropriate parental or guardian consent, we will take prompt steps to delete such information from our records. If you are a parent or legal guardian and believe that your child has provided personal information to us without your consent, please contact us immediately using the contact information set out in Section 12 of this Policy, and we will take appropriate action to address your concern.
