Our Privacy Policy

Our promise to you

“We believe that a good privacy policy is one you can understand without a lawyer by your side. This is why we’ve tried our best to explain in clear and plain English what we do, what information we collect, what you’re consenting to and why, so that you can feel confident about how we operate at ACE POS Solutions Ltd.”

– Karen, Director & Founder –

This privacy policy has been compiled to better serve those who are concerned with how their ‘Personally identifiable information’ (PII) is being used online and offline. PII, as used in international privacy law and information security, is information that can be used on its own or with other information to identify, contact, or locate a single person, or to identify an individual in context. Please read our privacy policy including the addendum below to carefully get a clear understanding of how we collect, use, process, protect or otherwise handle your Personally Identifiable Information. To simplify the language, our website, products, services and content will be collectively called (“Services”).

What personal information do we collect from people that use our Services?

However, we and/or our service providers (such as Google Analytics) collect IP (Internet protocol) addresses from all website visitors and other related information such as page requests, browser type, operating system and average time spent on our website. When you use any of our Services, we may also collect device type, operating system, unique device identifier, and date and time stamp.

Our Services are scanned on a regular basis for security holes and known vulnerabilities in order to make your interaction with us as safe as possible. We use regular Malware Scanning. Your personal information is contained in reputable third-party service providers (please refer to the addendum for the full list) or behind secured networks and is only accessible by a limited number of persons who have special access rights to such systems and are required to keep the information confidential. We implement a variety of security measures when a user places an order enters, submits, or accesses their information to maintain the safety of your personal information. All credit information you supply is encrypted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology or destroyed immediately after use. All transactions are processed through a gateway provider and are not stored or processed on our servers.

Do we use ‘cookies’?

Yes. Cookies are small files that a website or its service provider transfers to your computer’s hard drive through your Web browser (if you allow) that enables the website’s or service provider’s systems to recognize your browser and capture and remember certain information. For instance, we use cookies to help us remember visit history. They are also used to help us understand your preferences based on previous or current site activity, which enables us to provide you with improved services. We also use cookies to help us compile aggregate data about site traffic and site interaction so that we can offer better site experiences and tools in the future.

We use cookies to:

  • Help remember and process the Services you are interested in on our website.

  • Understand and save user’s preferences for future visits.

  • Keep track of advertisements and execute retargeting.

  • Compile aggregate data about site traffic and site interactions in order to offer better site experiences and tools in the future. We use trusted third-party services that track this information on our behalf.

You can choose to have your computer warn you each time a cookie is being sent, or you can choose to turn off all cookies. You do this through your browser (like Chrome) settings. Each browser is a little different, so look at your browser’s Help menu to learn the correct way to modify your cookies.

If you disable cookies off, some features will be disabled. It may affect the user’s experience as some of our website functions or services will not function properly.

We, along with third-party vendors, such as Google use first-party cookies (such as the Google Analytics cookies) and third-party cookies or other third-party identifiers together to compile data regarding user interactions with ad impressions and other ad service functions as they relate to our Services.

Third-party disclosure – we will never sell your PII to other companies

We do not sell or trade to outside parties your PII unless we provide users with advance notice. We also work with third party service providers who provide website, application development, hosting, maintenance, marketing, support and other services for us. These third parties may have access to, or process personal data or client data as part of providing those services for us. We limit the information provided to these service providers to that which is reasonably necessary for them to perform their functions and our contracts with them require them to maintain the confidentiality of such information through privacy best practices. We may also release information when it’s release is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce our site policies, or protect ours or others’ rights, property, or safety.  However, non-personally identifiable visitor information may be provided to other parties for marketing, advertising, or other uses.
