ACEs Connection security and privacy updates

 

On June 5th, Social Strata, which administers our network, finished a several-month process to make ACEs Connection more secure and to give us more control over our information.

You'll note that our url now begins with "https", which stands for Hyper Text Transfer Protocol SecureIt means all communications between your browser and ACEs Connection are encrypted.

Also, as the Social Strata folks explained, you may (or may not) be aware, the EU last year passed a strong set of guidelines aimed at protecting individual data privacy rights.

Those guidelines are called “GDPR,” or General Data Protection Regulation, and they apply to any entity who collects or processes identifiable data from EU citizens (in short, almost everyone). As of May, Social Strata complied with the EU-US Privacy Shield framework. That means:

  • ACEs Connection now no longer collects or stores IP addressed for members.
  • ACEs Connection members can revoke their agreement to the terms of service. If you revoke the agreement, you will be deactivated, but not deleted. If you agree to the terms of service again, your membership will be re-activated. 
  • ACEs Connection members can download their personal data at anytime, by clicking on Download Profile Data from your Update Profile page.
  • And although we'd hate to see you go, as an ACEs Connection member, you can also delete your account, as well as all of the content you posted. You can do so from your Update Profile page, where, at the top right, there's a link to Delete Account
