This Privacy Policy describes AmcoNTX’s policies and practices regarding our collection and use of your personal data, and it describes your privacy rights. We take very seriously our obligations to protect the privacy interests of our customers and the users of our web site at www.amcontx.com (Site). We recognize that information privacy is an ongoing responsibility, and so we will from time to time update this Privacy Policy if we change our personal data practices or adopt new privacy policies. Our collection and use of your personal data may also be subject to the Armstrong McCall Privacy Statement. You may read the Armstrong McCall Privacy Statement at this link.

AmcoNTX collects personal information about its customers. With a few exceptions, this information is limited to the kinds of information that can be found on a business card: first name, last name, job title, employer name, work street address, work email address, work phone number and professional license number. We use this information to provide our customers with goods and services, including to offer them product information, professional training opportunities, and special promotions. We do not sell your personal information to anyone and we only share it with third parties who are facilitating the delivery of our services, including our Franchisor. We do not knowingly attempt to solicit or receive information from individuals outside of our Territory or from children.
As is true of most other websites, our Site collects certain information automatically and stores it in log files. The information may include internet protocol (IP) addresses, the region or general location where your computer or device is accessing the internet, your browser type, operating system and other usage information about your use of our Site, including a history of the pages you view. We use this information to improve your user experience and to help us design our site to better suit our users’ needs. We may also use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server and to administer our website, analyze trends, track visitor movements, and gather broad demographic information that assists us in identifying visitor preferences. AmcoNTX has a legitimate interest in understanding how members, customers and potential customers use its website. This assists AmcoNTX with providing more relevant products and services, with communicating value to our sponsors and corporate members, and with providing appropriate staffing to meet member and customer needs. Additionally, we may use cookies, which are small text files that are stored on your computer to gather and keep track of information and help us review traffic patterns and improve the website. Although many browsers are set to accept cookies, you can set your browser to reject cookies, but this may prevent you from using some of the features of the website.
Information about your purchases are maintained in association with your customer account profile. AmcoNTX may provide information about your purchases to product manufacturers so that they may offer educational opportunities or special promotions to you. The personal information that AmcoNTX collects from you is stored in one or more databases hosted by third parties located in the United States. Those third party hosting service providers do not use or have access to your personal information for any purpose other than cloud storage and retrieval. If AmcoNTX were ever to merge with another business entity or to sell substantially all of its assets to another business entity, it is likely that customer information will be one of the assets transferred to the other business entity. In the event of such a merger or acquisition, we reserve the right to disclose your personal information to the other business entity pursuant to the terms of this Privacy Policy.
Information collected by loyalty programs
AmcoNTX offers our customers the opportunity to voluntarily participate in loyalty rewards programs offered by third parties, such as Fivestars and various manufacturers. Those programs are managed by those third parties. If you authorize us to provide your personal information to one or more of those third parties, their collection and use of your personal information is subject to the privacy and data collection policies of those third party programs. AmcoNTX is not responsible for third party privacy and data collection policies and practices.
Your privacy rights
This Privacy Policy is intended to provide you with information about what personal data AmcoNTX collects about you and how it is used.

If you wish to confirm that AmcoNTX is processing your personal data, or to have access to the personal data that AmcoNTX may have about you, please contact us at privacy@amcontx.com.
Security of your information
To help protect the privacy of data and personally identifiable information you provide to AmcoNTX, including through this Site, we maintain physical, technical and administrative safeguards. We update and test our security technology on an ongoing basis. We restrict access to your personal data to those employees who need to know that information to provide benefits or services to you. In addition, we train our employees about the importance of confidentiality and maintaining the privacy and security of your information. We commit to taking appropriate disciplinary measures to enforce our employees’ privacy responsibilities.
Data storage and retention
Your personal data is stored by AmcoNTX on its servers, and on the servers of the cloud-based database management services AmcoNTX engages, located in the United States. AmcoNTX retains data for the duration of the customer’s or member’s business relationship with AmcoNTX and for a period of time thereafter to allow members to recover accounts if they decide to renew, to analyze the data for IAPP’s own operations, and for historical and archiving purposes associated with IAPP’s history as a membership association. For more information on where and how long your personal data is stored, and for more information on your rights of erasure and portability, please contact AmcoNTX’s data protection officer at dpo@iapp.org.
Changes and updates to the Privacy Policy
As our organization, membership and benefits change from time to time, this Privacy Policy and Conditions of Use is expected to change as well. We reserve the right to amend the Privacy Policy and Conditions of Use at any time, for any reason, without notice to you, other than the posting of the amended Privacy Policy and Conditions of Use at this Site. We may e-mail periodic reminders of our notices and terms and conditions and will e-mail IAPP members of material changes thereto, but you should check our Site frequently to see the current Privacy Policy and Conditions of Use that is in effect and any changes that may have been made to it.
