Likewise, these third parties may place cookies or pixel tags that are not subject to our control and the ACE Privacy Policy does not cover their use.

How we protect and store personal information

Throughout this policy, we use the term "personal information" to describe information that can be associated with a specific person and can be used to identify that person. We do not consider personal information to include information that has been anonymized so that it does not identify a specific user.

We store and process your personal information on our computers in the US and elsewhere in the world where ACE facilities or our service providers are located, and we protect it by maintaining physical, electronic and procedural safeguards in compliance with applicable US federal and state regulations. We use computer safeguards such as firewalls and data encryption, we enforce physical access controls to our buildings and files, and we authorize access to personal information only for those employees who require it to fulfill their job responsibilities.

How we use the personal information we collect

How we share personal information with other ACE users

To process your payments, we may share some of your personal information with the person or company that is paying for you. Your contact information, date of sign-up, the number of payments you have made and whether you have verified control of a bank account are provided to other ACE providers who you transact with through ACE. In addition, this and other information may also be shared with third parties when you access these third party products using ACE Services. Unless you have agreed to it, these third parties are not allowed to use this information for any purpose other than to enable the ACE Services

If you are buying products or services and pay through ACE, we may also provide the seller with your shipping and confirmed credit card billing address to help complete your transaction with the seller. The seller is not allowed to use this information to market their services to you unless you have agreed to it. If an attempt to pay your seller fails, or is later invalidated, we may also provide your seller with details of the unsuccessful payment.

Regardless, we will not disclose your credit card number or bank account number to anyone you have paid or who has paid for you through ACE or with the third parties that offer or use the ACE Services, except with your express permission or if we are required to do so to comply with a credit card rules, subpoena or other legal process.

How we share personal information with other parties

• Members of the ACE Inc. corporate family -- like ACE, Public Safety Knowledge -- to provide joint content, products and services (like registration, transactions and customer support), to help detect and prevent potentially illegal acts and violations of our policies, and to guide decisions about their products, services and communications. Members of our corporate family will use this information to send you marketing communications only if you have requested their services.
• Service providers under contract who help with parts of our business operations such as fraud prevention, bill collection, marketing and technology services. Our contracts dictate that these service providers only use your information in connection with the services they perform for us and not for their own benefit.
• Financial institutions that we partner with to jointly create and offer a product. These financial institutions may only use this information to market ACE-related products, unless you have given consent for other uses.

(Should such a combination occur, we will require that the new combined entity follow this privacy policy with respect to your personal information. If your personal information could be used contrary to this policy, you will receive prior notice.)
• Law enforcement, government officials, or other third parties when
  • we are compelled to do so by a subpoena, court order or similar legal procedure

How you can restrict ACE from sharing your personal information

Federal and state laws allow you to restrict the sharing of your personal information in certain instances. However, these laws also state that you cannot restrict other types of sharing. Because we have chosen to refrain from certain types of data sharing, the only type of sharing of your personal information that you may restrict is as follows:
