It is important for you to protect against unauthorized access to your password and to your computer so we advise that you sign off when you have finished using a shared computer strongly recommend and that you do not use the browser’s password memory function as that would permit other people using your Device to access your personal information.
Passwords
We operate a ‘one-way’ password security system – that is, each password is encrypted and sent only to you. We cannot RESEND a password, as we do not store it. We can only reset a password upon request.
Without stating the obvious, you should never share your password – it is the gatekeeper to your List protection. Anybody who leaves your organization should have the access to the Services terminated immediately.

Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorized access however, we cannot guarantee the security of such information and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all liability and responsibility for any damages you may suffer due to any loss, unauthorized access, misuse or alterations of any information you submit to our Website.
In the unlikely event that someone manages to cause an unauthorized intrusion into our system, and such intrusion causes an impact on you or your contact lists, we will report this to you as soon as possible, along with subsequent remedial measures that were actioned.
Your rights
You can always choose not to provide information. If the information is needed for a transaction or process, then the transaction or process will not proceed.
You will usually be able to add or update certain information on pages such as “My Account”. When you update information, we will keep a copy of the prior version for our records unless you write to us to require us not to.
If you wish to verify the details that we hold about you may do so by contacting us via email to support@activepipe.com. Our security procedures mean that we may request proof of identity before we reveal information.
Your Rights Under California Law

How We Respond to “Do Not Track” Signals
Some browsers have an optional Do Not Track (“DNT”) feature that allows you to express your preference regarding tracking of your online activity by websites. When you choose to turn on the DNT setting in your browser, your browser sends a special signal to websites, ad networks, plug-in providers, and other web services you encounter while browsing to stop tracking your activity via cookies or other tracking technologies. Our Website does not currently respond to DNT browser signals or mechanisms.
