We do not control third party websites, or online services, and we are not responsible for their actions. Other websites and services follow different rules regarding the collection, use and sharing of your personal information. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of the other websites and online services you use.
We generally retain personal information to fulfill the purposes for which we collected it, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements, to establish or defend legal claims, or for fraud prevention purposes. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal information, we may consider factors such as the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal information, the purposes for which we process your personal information and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.
When we no longer require the personal information we have collected about you, we may either delete it, anonymize it, or isolate it from further processing.
The security of your personal information is important to us. We employ organizational, technical and physical safeguards designed to protect the personal information we collect. However, security risk is inherent in all internet and information technologies and we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information. Email, in particular, is an insecure way to transmit personal information. Please take special care regarding what information you send to us via email.
The Service is not directed to, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from, anyone under the age of 18. If we learn that anyone under the age of 18 has unlawfully provided Personal Data, AccountAim will delete such information from our files as soon as reasonably practicable.
We reserve the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time.

We may, and if required by law, will also provide notification of changes in another way that we believe is reasonably likely to reach you, such as via e-mail (if you have an account where we have your contact information) or another manner through the Service. Any modifications to this Privacy Policy will be effective upon our posting the new terms and/or upon implementation of the new changes on the Service (or as otherwise indicated at the time of posting). In all cases, your continued use of the Service after the posting of any modified Privacy Policy indicates your acceptance of the terms of the modified Privacy Policy.
If you would like to exercise your rights under this Policy, please submit your request to privacy@accountaim.com.
Please direct any questions or comments about this Policy or privacy practices to privacy@accountaim.com.
Scope. This section applies only to California residents. It describes how we collect, use, and share Personal Information of California residents online and offline in our capacity as a “business” under the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”) and the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 (“CPRA”) and their rights with respect to that Personal Information. For purposes of this section, “Personal Information” has the meaning given in the CCPA but does not include information exempted from the scope of the CCPA. In some cases we may provide a different privacy notice to certain categories of California residents, such as job applicants, in which case that notice will apply instead of this section.
Your California privacy rights. As a California resident, you have the rights listed below under the CCPA and CPRA. However, these rights are not absolute, and in certain cases we may decline your request as permitted by law.
Access. You can request a copy of the Personal Information that we have collected about you during the past 12 months.
Deletion. You can ask us to delete the Personal Information that we have collected from you.
Correction. You can ask us to correct inaccurate Personal Information that we have collected about you.
Opt-out. You can request to opt-out of disclosures of your Personal Information that constitute “selling” or “sharing” of your Personal Information as defined in the CCPA.
Nondiscrimination. You are entitled to exercise the rights described above free from discrimination as prohibited by the CCPA.
Exercising your right to information, access, correction and deletion. You may submit requests to exercise these rights via email to privacy@accountaim.com.
Notice of right to opt-out of the “selling” or “sharing” of your Personal Information. Like many companies, we use services that help deliver interest-based ads to you as described in the Marketing and Advertising section above. Our use of some of these services may be classified under California law as a “selling” or “sharing” your Personal Information (including your business and personal contact information, device data, and online activity data described above in “Personal information we collect” section above) with the advertising partners that provide the services. You can submit requests to opt-out of this “selling” or “sharing” in the Exercising your rights section above. We have no actual knowledge that we have sold or shared the Personal Information of any California residents under the age of 18. We cannot process your request if you do not provide us with sufficient detail to allow us to understand and respond to it.
Verification of identity; authorized agents. We will need to verify your identity to process your information, access, correction and deletion requests and reserve the right to confirm your California residency. To verify your identity, we may require authentication into an online account with us (if you have one), information that we match against information we maintain about you, government identification, a declaration under penalty of perjury or other information, where permitted by law. Your authorized agent may make a request on your behalf upon our verification of the agent’s identity and our receipt of a copy of a valid power of attorney given to your authorized agent pursuant to California Probate Code Sections 4000-4465. If you have not provided your agent with such a power of attorney, you must provide your agent with written and signed permission to exercise your CCPA rights on your behalf, provide the information we request to verify your identity, and provide us with written confirmation that you have given the authorized agent permission to submit the request.
Personal information that we collect, use and disclose. The chart below summarizes the Personal Information we collect by reference to the categories of Personal Information specified in the CCPA and CPRA, and describes our practices currently and during the 12 months preceding the effective date of this Privacy Policy. Information you voluntarily provide to us, such as in free-form web forms, may contain other categories of personal information not described below.
Sensitive personal information. We do not use or disclose sensitive personal information for purposes that California residents have a right to limit under the CCPA and CPRA.
