Web Site Privacy Statement

Accel Members Financial Counseling (Accel) respects your privacy. We are committed to assuring the privacy of individuals who visit our web site. We use secure technology and privacy protection controls to safeguard your personal information.

Our site can be used as an educational resource and as a tool to gain more information about Accel’s services.

Collection of Personal Information Via our Web Site:
If you are just browsing our site, you can do so anonymously. We do not ask for personal information during your visit unless you request a call back from one of our representatives.

If you request a call back from one of our representatives, Accel does not disclose any information provided to third parties, except as permitted or required by law. Further note that Accel does not sell, rent, loan, trade, or lease any personal information collected at our site, including membership forms or e-mail lists. Accel considers all personal information confidential.

Secure Sign In:
As an Accel client or partner, you have the opportunity to view information on-line. When you sign in, your ID and Password are sent over the Internet from your computer to ours, using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology. SSL encrypts your personal information before it leaves your computer, ensuring that no one else can read it.  All customer and partner specific documents are only available after identity is confirmed through the use of a user name and password and right to access has also been confirmed.   It is the responsibility of each customer and partner to protect their user name and password.  Accel recommends that passwords are changed frequently.  Documents are then transferred across the internet also using SSL technology.

Web Links:
We do host some links to outside sites that we feel are beneficial to the consumer. These are only meant to supplement the information or products that Accel offers. Although we only link to reputable sites, we cannot be responsible for data collection and use practices on linked sites. Please refer to that site’s privacy policy for specifics regarding how they use your information. We will not share any information about you with any of these sites.

Safeguard Information:
We safeguard information by regularly reviewing our security standards and procedures to help prevent unauthorized access to personal information. The information that we receive from you is important in meeting your needs and providing consistent service quality. We will permit only authorized employees who are trained in the proper handling of customer information to have access to your information. We regularly test our technology and employ multiple defenses to protect the confidentiality of information about you.
