ACRION (“ACRION”, “we”, “us” or “our”) is committed to protecting the rights of its website visitors (“you” or “your”) because we want you to feel confident that your data will be safe when getting in touch with us. This privacy policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information collected on our website, and it is without prejudice to local data protection requirements and additional data privacy terms that may be included in our contracts with our clients, partners, subcontractors and staff members.

Note that this policy does not apply to any third-party websites that may be accessible through our own. We are not responsible for the practices employed by web sites or pages not under our control and we do not endorse any of these web sites or pages, their services, products or content. Please read over the rules and policies of third-party websites before using them.

We will not use or share your information with anyone except as described here. By using our website (including voluntarily submitting information directly or indirectly) you agree to the terms of this privacy policy. We may amend this policy from time to time without notice and your continued use of the website or other interaction with us (for example by phone or email) will confirm your agreement to the new terms. Any updates to the privacy policy will appear on this webpage.

We may collect two types of information on our website: personal information and automatically collected data. We reserve the right to combine your information as collected through our website with other information for the purposes described here.

You will remain anonymous as a user of this website unless you choose to give us your personal details, which may include among other information:​

  • your name
  • your e-mail address
  • your postal address
  • your phone and mobile number

​Automatically collected data may include, among other information, IP addresses and domains, web traffic, type and information of device employed to access the website, and interactions with advertisements.

​We use cookies to improve your interaction with us and our business’ activities.

We use Google’s Universal Analytics service to collect information about how website visitors act, which is then used to produce visitor reports and help us improve the website.

We may process your information

  1. to provide, maintain, improve, and customize the features and functionality of our website;
  2. with your consent, to contact you directly or indirectly with updates, messages, notices, including any notice required by law, or other information.

For the above purposes, we may share your information with our services providers, business partners and affiliated entities, always under the same restrictions with regards to data security and for processing exclusively on our behalf in line with this privacy policy. We may also disclose your information to any relevant third party if are convinced that we have to do so to:

  • ​Comply with legal process, respect the law or meet national security requirements; or
  • Enforce this policy, take precautions against liability and defend ourselves against claims; or
  • Exercise or protect the rights, property, or personal safety of our users, us, or others; or

We will retain your information for a reasonable period to fulfil the purposes described in this privacy policy (unless you ask us to delete it earlier) or for as long as is required by law. Please note that we may keep your information in backup or archival form even after this point for legal, tax and regulatory purposes.

All of the information we collect or record is restricted and only employees who need the information to perform a specific job are granted access to your information. Although we do our best to protect your personal information, the transmission of your data is outside our control and any such transmission is at your own risk. However, we will try to protect all personal information collected through this website in accordance with strict data protection standards, including monitoring and restricting access to specific individuals with appropriate login credentials.

Given that the Internet is a global environment, using the Internet to collect and process personal data may involve the transmission of data internationally. Therefore, by using the site and submitting your personal information, you acknowledge our processing of your information in this way. We may need to transfer your information to third parties that are located inside and outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”), including in countries that do not provide the same level of protection for personal data. If that’s the case, we will only transfer personal data to recipients that provide an adequate level of data protection or as permitted by applicable data protection laws.

We are aware of the need for user privacy and risks associated with use of the Internet and we advise you to refer to Get Safe Online (www.getsafeonline.org) to find out more about how to protect your information and devices from online threats. Get Safe Online is supported by HM Government and major private entities.

We do not knowingly collect data on persons below 18 years of age and we do not normally include content that is reasonably considered unsuitable for children. However, we encourage parents to spend time with their children online and to be fully familiar with the sites their children visit. Further, we do not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from any persons under the age of 18 or knowingly allow them to submit their personal information. If you become aware that we may have collected personal information from a person under the age of 18 without parental consent, please contact us using the details from our contact us page and we will remove the information from our files.

You can submit requests (preferably through hello@acrionglobal.com) for the following with respect to your information:

  • access it by asking for a copy;
  • correct it if it’s inaccurate or incomplete;
  • erase it from our systems;
  • restrict our use of it by limiting the way in which we can use it;
  • ask us to move it, copy it or transfer it; and
  • object to us using it, even if our use is for legitimate interests.

For your right to access your information we may not charge you a fee, unless your request is “manifestly unfounded or excessive” as defined under the UK Data Protection Act 2018.
