How Acopian Protects Personal Information
Acopian follows generally accepted standards to protect personal information and information submitted by our clients, both during transmission and once we receive it. Specifically, Acopian's internal and third-party providers limit access to information and data to key personnel, password protect all sensitive data repositories, encrypt sensitive data in databases, provide secure, locked storage of paper documentation, and securely delete any data that is no longer required for business transactions. In addition, servers operate in secure, locked spaces both at Acopian facilities and at third-party web hosting providers. Despite these precautions and processes, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee or warrant the security of any information you transmit to or from our Site, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we will take commercially reasonable precautions to protect its security on our systems.

If you have an account, you can access and correct information such as your name, address, telephone number, or email address on the My Account page. While we will comply reasonably and promptly with your requests, we may need to retain some of your information for our own recordkeeping or to fulfill a legal obligation.
Data transfers from EU to US
If you provide personal information to us while located in the European Economic Area (“EEA”), you consent to the transfer of personal information to the United States, and potentially to other countries outside of the EEA.
