We collect information you provide directly when you register for membership, certification programs, events, or contact us. This includes your name, email address, phone number, professional qualifications, employment details, and payment information.

We also automatically collect certain technical information when you visit our website, including your IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, and referring URLs through cookies and similar technologies.

We use the information we collect to process your membership and certification applications, deliver examination and training services, communicate about events and programs, send relevant professional updates and newsletters, improve our website and services, and comply with legal and regulatory obligations.

We may also use your information to conduct research and analysis to improve our offerings and to personalize your experience with ACCPA.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes. We may share your information with trusted service providers who assist in our operations (e.g., payment processors, email service providers), regulatory bodies as required by law, and partner organizations for certification verification purposes with your consent.

We implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include encryption, secure server infrastructure, and access controls.

While we strive to protect your information, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of your data.

Our website uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your browsing experience, analyze website traffic, and understand user preferences. You can control cookie settings through your browser. Disabling cookies may affect certain website functionality.

You have the right to access, correct, update, or request deletion of your personal information. You may also opt out of receiving marketing communications at any time by following the unsubscribe instructions in our emails or contacting us directly.

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have additional rights under applicable data protection laws, including the right to data portability and the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.

We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. Certification and membership records may be retained indefinitely for verification purposes.
