Account Administrators. Each account registered with ACHPC (a “ACHPC account”) must have at least one User in the “Administrator” role to manage and control access to the ACHPC account. The Administrator may invite and authorize other Users to access, establish login credentials for, and use the ACHPC account. The Administrator may revoke access and authorization of a User.

User Account Creation and Login Credentials. To use the Service, You may be required to register a ACHPC account and/or to enroll as a User. To register a ACHPC account and/or enroll as a User, You will be required to provide Us with information about Yourself, including but not limited to Your name, address, email address and other contact or identifying information, and about Your Organization or Individual, as appropriate. You agree that the information You provide to Us will be accurate and that You will keep it up-to-date at all times. Users will be asked to create a strong password and provide a device on which to receive a multi-factor authentication code, one-time password or similar authentication token or mechanism (collectively, the User’s “Login Credentials”).
Security of User Login Credentials. Users are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of Login Credentials. To the extent allowed by law, You accept responsibility for all activities on Your account authenticated through User Login Credentials, including all payment instructions provided to ACHPC, whether authorized or not. Each User agrees to keep User Login Credentials confidential and secure, and Users will not give or make Login Credentials available, directly or indirectly, to any unauthorized individual. You acknowledge and agree that if Users allow, whether through action or inaction, a person to gain access to Login Credentials, with or without permission, the User is authorizing that person to use the Service, and You will be responsible for all transactions that result from such access, even if they are unauthorized, fraudulent, or you did not want the transactions performed.
Commercially Reasonable Security Procedures. You acknowledge and agree that the Our security procedures are a commercially reasonable method of verifying Your identity and payment instructions, providing security against unauthorized payment instructions and fraud, and protecting Your ACHPC account.
Lost, Stolen or Compromised Account or Login Credentials. You agree to immediately notify ACHPC’s Customer Support through Our customer support portal if You believe that Your ACHPC account has been compromised or accessed without authorization, or any User’s Login Credentials have been lost, stolen or compromised, or someone has attempted or may attempt to make or request payments through Your ACHPC account without authorization.
Responsibility for Payment Instructions. To the extent allowed by law, You agree to be bound by all payment instructions or transactions initiated in compliance with ACHPC security procedures and this Agreement, whether or not authorized. You agree that You will be liable for all losses or payments resulting from (1) the theft, loss, compromise, or unauthorized use of Your ACHPC account or User Login Credentials and/or (2) any losses or unauthorized payments resulting from any fraudulent or illegal compromise of Your systems or processes. You agree that You will be responsible and liable for payments or transfers containing inaccurate instructions or other errors, unless limited by law.
Upon Your timely report, We may, in Our sole discretion, use good faith measures to attempt to reverse and recover any unauthorized or erroneous payments or transfers on Your behalf, but ACHPC will have no responsibility, obligation, or liability in relation to such payments or transfers or any reversal or recovery attempts.
If You are an Individual consumer, please see our Electronic Funds Transfer Agreement and Disclosures & Error Resolution Notice for more information regarding Your rights and liabilities for unauthorized electronic payments and other errors.
Access through Third Party Platforms. If Users choose to access Your account through a third-party platform, You are making a determination that the third-party platform and its login protocol are sufficiently secure to protect User Login Credentials and Your ACHPC account, and You accept full responsibility and liability if access through the third-party platform leads to the compromise of User Login Credentials or Your ACHPC account.

- Anti-Money Laundering and Know Your Customer Requirements
US Patriot Act. To help the U.S. government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, federal and state law requires financial institutions, including money services businesses, to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies every customer.

Verification Required. We reserve the right to refuse to allow any User, Payee or Customer to use or participate in the Service if We are unable to obtain or verify information relating to identity or financial condition, such as identifying information for an Organization’s representatives or beneficial owners.

In Our sole discretion, ACHPC may place a hold on a payment for as long as reasonably necessary to conduct an appropriate inquiry regarding the payment, a ACHPC account, a User, an Organization or Individual, a Customer, a Payee, or any related facts or circumstances. Depending on the results of this review, ACHPC reserves the right to take any appropriate action, including canceling the payment, reversing the payment, or continuing to hold the payment pending instructions from a government agency.
Reports. You acknowledge that We may make appropriate reports regarding payments made through the Service, including but not limited to financial institutions, regulators, tax agencies and law enforcement authorities, and We will cooperate with the appropriate authorities in any resulting investigation or prosecution, all as required or permitted by law.

ACHPC Access to User Data. If You upload, store, share, or otherwise process Your documents, information, data and content (“Your User Data“) or sync Your User Data from Your accounting software to the Service, You consent to ACHPC’s access and processing of Your User Data in accordance with Our Privacy Notice, this Agreement, the settings on Your ACHPC account, or the features of the Service You elect to use. ACHPC reserves the right to remove or delete Your User Data from the Service for any reason, including if Your User Data violates this Agreement or applicable law, in ACHPC’s reasonable discretion, without ACHPC incurring any liability to You.

- Fees and Payment Terms
Service Fees. Access to the Service, or to certain features of the Service, may require You to pay certain fees (individually and collectively, “Service Fees”), including but not limited to account subscription fees, transaction fees, payment processing fees, and other special services fees. You agree to pay when due all Service Fees applicable to Your use of the Service. You agree that You are responsible for the full amount of applicable Service Fees for each billing cycle in which You use the Service or maintain a ACHPC account, even if You don’t use the Service during the billing cycle or use the Service for only a portion of the billing cycle. ACHPC reserves the right to refuse to cancel Your ACHPC account if Your account is not in good standing or has any overdue Service Fees.
Changes to Service Fees. ACHPC reserves the right to change the Service Fees from time to time, in its sole discretion. ACHPC will provide advanced notice of any material increase of a change in Service Fees. If the increase in Service Fees is not acceptable, Your sole and exclusive remedy will be to stop using the Service and/or cancel Your ACHPC account, as applicable. By continuing to use the Service after notice of the new Service Fees, You accept all changes in Service Fees. All Service Fees are non-refundable, except in the sole discretion of ACHPC.
Payment of Service Fees. You authorize ACHPC to use the credit or debit card You have provided to Us (as updated by You from time to time), or the bank account associated with Your ACHPC account (each a “Billing Account“) to automatically charge You, in U.S. dollars, for the Service Fees applicable to Your ACHPC account or Your use of the Service, plus any applicable taxes. If ACHPC is unable to charge the Billing Account for any reason, You agree to pay all past due Service Fees and taxes within 5 business days of notice of non-payment from ACHPC. If amounts owed are not paid within 5 days of that notice, interest will accrue on all past due amounts at the rate of 1.5% per month or the highest rate of interest allowed by law (whichever is less), calculated from the date the amount was due until the date that payment is received. If Your ACHPC account becomes overdue, ACHPC will be entitled to reimbursement for the reasonable costs of collection, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses.
Inactive Accounts. If Your ACHPC account becomes inactive because You do not process a payment for an extended period of time, or because You have not linked a valid bank account, You may have a balance that is deemed “unclaimed” or “abandoned” under applicable state law. ACHPC may transfer any such “unclaimed” or “abandoned” funds in Your ACHPC account as required or permitted by applicable law. As provided by law, ACHPC may deduct a dormancy fee from any funds transferred under this paragraph.
- Deactivating a User or Canceling Your ACHPC Account
Your Right to Cancel. You may request to deactivate a User or cancel Your ACHPC account at any time by submitting a request through Your ACHPC account or through Our customer support portal. ACHPC reserves the right to require up to 60 days’ prior notice of cancelation or User deactivation.
Effective Date of Cancelation: Subscription Accounts. This section applies to You if Your ACHPC account is an account with agreed upon subscription Service Fees (“Subscription Account”). When You request to deactivate a User, the User deactivation will be effective on the last billing day of the then-current billing cycle for the Subscription Account or the date such request is processed and completed by Us, whichever is earlier. When You request to cancel a Subscription Account, the cancelation will be effective on the last day of the then-current billing cycle for Your Subscription Account, if there are no pending payments on the ACHPC account or if all pending payments will be posted and completed before the end of that billing cycle. If there are pending payments that will not be posted and completed by the last day of the billing cycle in which You request to cancel Your Subscription Account, the account cancelation will be effective on the last day of the next billing cycle or the date on which the last requested payment is posted and completed, whichever is later. ACHPC reserves the right to void any payments that have not been processed and paid on or before the effective date of account cancelation. You will be responsible for all Service Fees that accrue up to the effective date of cancelation.
Effective Date of Cancelation: Non-Subscription Accounts. If You do not have a Subscription Account with ACHPC, Your request to deactivate a User or to cancel Your ACHPC account will be effective on the date the request is processed or the date on which the last requested payment is posted and completed, whichever is later. You will be responsible for all Service Fees that accrue up to the effective date of cancelation.
Your Documents. If You cancel Your ACHPC account, ACHPC may maintain copies of any information or data that You upload to or create in the Service, such as Your User Data, Bills, and Documents, as required or permitted by law, this Agreement or Our Privacy Notice.

Each of these provisions is severable and independent of all other provisions of this Agreement. All limitations of liability, disclaimers of warranties, and exclusions of consequential damages or other damages or remedies will remain fully valid, effective and enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, even under circumstances that cause an exclusive remedy to fail of its essential purpose.

ACCORDINGLY, IN THOSE JURISDICTIONS, SOME OF THESE EXCLUSIONS OR LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY.
- Indemnity
You agree to full liability and responsibility for Your use of the Service, and You will defend and indemnify ACHPC and its officers, directors, employees, consultants, affiliates, subsidiaries and agents from and against every claim, liability, damage, loss, and expense, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, arising out of or in any way connected with: (a) Your violation of any portion of this Agreement, or any applicable law or regulation; (b) Your violation of any third-party right, including any intellectual property right, or publicity, confidentiality, other property or privacy right; or (c) any dispute or issue between You and any third party.

- Agreement to Arbitrate
Agreement to Arbitrate. In the interest of resolving disputes between You and ACHPC in the most expedient and cost-effective manner, You and ACHPC agree that every dispute arising in connection with this Agreement will be resolved by binding arbitration. Arbitration is less formal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, may allow for more limited discovery than in court, and can be subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award (although the arbitrator must abide by the contractual limits on damages in this Agreement) and must enforce applicable statutes of limitation and legal defenses. This Agreement to Arbitrate disputes includes all claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of this Agreement, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether a claim arises during or after the termination of this Agreement. BY ENTERING IN THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AND ACHPC ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT AND THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT ANY ARBITRATION UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS.
Waiver of Class Actions and Right to Trial by Jury. To the fullest extent permitted by law, You acknowledge and agree that You may bring claims against ACHPC only in Your individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding. CLASS ACTIONS, CLASS ARBITRATIONS, REPRESENTATIVE ACTIONS, AND/OR CONSOLIDATION OF ACTIONS OR ARBITRATIONS ARE NOT ALLOWED. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE EXPRESSLY AND KNOWINGLY WAIVED YOUR RIGHTS TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION AND TO A TRIAL BY JURY.
Procedures. Any arbitration between You and ACHPC will be resolved under the Federal Arbitration Act, administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and governed by the Commercial Dispute Resolution Procedures of the AAA, and where the claim is by or against a natural person and involves a product or service for personal or household use, then the arbitration will be governed by the AAA Consumer Rules (collectively, “AAA Rules”), as modified by this Agreement. The AAA Rules and filing forms are available online at www.adr.org.
Notice. If You intend to seek arbitration, You must first send a written notice (“Notice”) of Your claim or dispute to ACHPC by certified U.S. Mail or by Federal Express (signature required ACHPC’s address for Notice is ACHPC’s address of record as listed on the ACHPC Website, ATTN: LEGAL. The Notice must describe: (a) the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) the remedy that You want (“Demand”). You and ACHPC agree to make good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if You and ACHPC do not reach an agreement within 30 days after the Notice is received, You or ACHPC may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by You or ACHPC must not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any.
Fees. If You commence arbitration in accordance with this Agreement, the payment of fees related to the arbitration will be decided by the AAA Rules. If Your claim is less than ten thousand dollars ($10,000.00), ACHPC will reimburse You for the payment of the filing fee. However, if the arbitrator finds that either the substance of Your claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), You agree to reimburse ACHPC for any fees paid on Your behalf that would otherwise be Your obligation under the AAA Rules.
Location. The arbitration hearing will take place at a location to be agreed upon in Santa Clara County, California. If Your claim is for twenty five thousand ($25,000) or less, You may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted: (a) solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator; (b) through a non-appearance based telephone hearing; or (c) by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules in the county (or parish) of Your billing address.
Severability. The arbitrator has exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of this Agreement. If this Agreement to Arbitrate is found to be, in whole or in part, invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in effect, and, where this Section 16 cannot be enforced, You agree that the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described in Section 17 will govern any action arising out of or related to this Agreement.
Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate. Notwithstanding any other provision of Section 16, nothing in this Agreement will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit the right to: (a) bring an individual (non-class, non-representative) action in small claims court so long as such action remains in small claims court; (b) pursue a private general attorney action where arbitration cannot be required under applicable law; (c) seek injunctive relief in a court of law; or (d) to file suit in a court of law to address an intellectual property infringement claim.

You can use Your ACHPC Balance to fund payments, among other benefits. ACHPC Balance allows eligible ACHPC accounts to receive money, hold money, transfer money, and move money from Your ACHPC Balance to Your Payment Account. Your ACHPC Balance consists of the funds You have in your ACHPC account for new payments and that are not subject to pending transactions. You will pay the standard transaction fees for any transfers from Your ACHPC Balance for payments.

Each time You instruct ACHPC to add funds from Your Payment Account to ACHPC.com Balance, You authorize Us to immediately debit the Payment Account at the time of the transfer for the amount instructed. You also authorize ACHPC to return funds to Your Payment Account in the event that a transfer of funds to Your ACHPC Balance is canceled or not possible for any reason.

You must withdraw or transfer any funds held in a ACHPC Balance before closing your ACHPC Balance or ACHPC Account.

ELECTRONIC FUNDS TRANSFER AGREEMENT AND DISCLOSURES & ERROR RESOLUTION NOTICE
Electronic Funds Transfer Agreement and Disclosures
This electronic funds transfer (“EFT”) agreement and disclosure (“EFT Agreement”) is made in compliance with federal law regulating EFT services. All capitalized terms not defined in this EFT Agreement have the meanings given to them in the ACHPC Terms of Service.
This EFT Agreement applies to you if you are, or if you are acting on behalf of, an individual who is using the ACHPC Service for personal, family or household purposes. This EFT Agreement does not apply to any electronic transfers initiated through the ACHPC Service to or from a business bank account, or for a commercial purpose. If this EFT Agreement applies to you, by continuing to use or interact with the ACHPC Service after receiving a copy of this EFT Agreement, you are consenting to and accepting the terms of this EFT Agreement.
(a) Your Liability for Unauthorized Transfers Made Through Your ACHPC Account
Through the ACHPC Service and using your ACHPC Login Credentials, you may initiate EFT payment transactions to and from your linked accounts through the ACH Network.
An “unauthorized transfer” occurs when an EFT payment is made through your ACHPC account or using your ACHPC Login Credentials, and you neither authorized that payment nor benefited from the payment. As an example: if someone steals your ACHPC Login Credentials and uses those Login Credentials to access your ACHPC account and send an EFT payment without your permission, that transfer is unauthorized. Please note, however, that an unauthorized transfer will not have occurred if you give someone access to your ACHPC Login Credentials, even if that person uses your Login Credentials without your permission, unless you previously notified ACHPC that you shared your credentials with someone who isn’t authorized to use your account so that we could take appropriate action.
To help you protect yourself against unauthorized activity and monitor your account and transactions in real time, we provide you with a full transaction history for your account that can be accessed at any time from any device through your ACHPC account. This transaction history includes: the amount, date and type of each payment made through your account; the payment account(s) used; and information about the payor and payee. The transaction history will also provide you with our contact information in case you have any questions or concerns about a transaction. We recommend that you regularly log in to your ACHPC account to review your transaction history.
You must TELL US AT ONCE if you believe your Login Credentials have been lost or stolen, or your ACHPC account has been otherwise compromised, or if you believe that an unauthorized transfer has been made from your account.
If you tell us within 2 business days after you learn of the loss or theft of your Login Credentials or of the compromise of your ACHPC account, you can lose no more than $50 if someone used your Login Credentials or account without your permission.
If you do NOT tell us within 2 business days after you learn of the loss or theft of your Login Credentials or of the compromise of your ACHPC account, and we can prove we could have stopped someone from using your Login Credentials or ACHPC account if you had told us within 2 business days, you could lose as much as $500.
If you believe there is an unauthorized transfer on your account, you must tell us AT ONCE, but at least within 60 days of the transfer posting to your ACHPC payment history. If you do NOT tell us within 60 days of the unauthorized transfer posting to your ACHPC payment history, you may not get back any money you lost after the 60 days if we can prove that we could have stopped someone from taking the money if you had told us in time.
If a good reason (such as a long trip or a hospital stay) kept you from telling us about the loss or theft of your Login Credentials or the compromise of your ACHPC account, or about an unauthorized transfer on your account, we will extend the time periods above.
(b) Who to Contact for Unauthorized Transfers or Other Concerns
If you believe that your ACHPC Login Credentials have been lost, stolen, or otherwise compromised, or you believe there may be an unauthorized transfer on your ACHPC account, you must contact us IMMEDIATELY.
(c) Our Business Days
For purposes of these disclosures, our business days are Monday through Friday. Holidays are not included.
(d) Transfer Types and Limitations
(1) Account access. You may use your Login Credentials and the ACHPC Service as provided in our Terms of Service.
(2) We may limit the frequency and available of transfers as provided in our Terms of Service.
(3) We may limit the dollar amount of transfers, on a per transaction or cumulative basis, as provided in our Terms of Service.
(e) Fees
(1) Per transfer charge. We will charge you a transaction fee for each EFT you make using the ACHPC Service. Information on transaction fees is available here.
(2) Fixed charge. If you have a subscription account, we will charge you a monthly subscription fee for the ACHPC service. Information on monthly subscription fees is available here.
(f) Confidentiality
We will disclose information to third parties about your account or the EFTs you make:
(i) Where it is necessary for completing transfers, or
(ii) In order to verify the existence and condition of your account for a third party, or
(iii) In order to comply with government agency or court orders, or
(iv) As otherwise provided in our Privacy Policy, or
(v) If you give us your written permission.
(g) Transaction History
You will get a full transaction history for your account that can be accessed at any time from any device through your ACHPC account.
(h) Preauthorized Payments
(1) Right to stop payment and procedure for doing so. If you have told us in advance to make regular payments out of your account, you can stop any of these payments. Here’s how:
You may make changes to scheduled payments through your ACHPC account, or you may contact us through our customer support portal, in time for us to receive your request 3 business days or more before the payment is scheduled to be processed. If you reach out to us through our customer support portal, we may also require you to put your request in writing and get it to us within 14 days after you call. We may charge you a fee for each stop-payment order that you give.
(2) Notice of varying amounts. If these regular payments may vary in amount, we will tell you, at least 10 days before each payment, when it will be made and how much it will be.
(3) Liability for failure to stop payment of preauthorized transfer. If you order us to stop one of these payments 3 business days or more before the transfer is scheduled to be processed, and we do not do so, we will be liable for your losses or damages.
(i) Our Liability for Incomplete EFTs
If we do not complete an EFT to or from your account on time or in the correct amount according to our Terms of Service, we will be liable for your losses or damages. However, there are some exceptions.
We will not be liable, for instance:
(1) If, through no fault of ours, you do not have enough money in your linked account to make the transfer.
(2) If the ACHPC system was not working properly and you knew about the breakdown when you started the transfer.
(3) If circumstances beyond our control (such as a fire or flood) prevent the transfer, despite reasonable precautions that we have taken.
(4) Other exceptions as stated in our Terms of Service.

- A routine inquiry about your ACHPC account balance.
- Your request for account or transaction documentation related to an EFT payment documentation if that request is for a duplicate copy, for tax or recordkeeping purposes, or for a paper copy when you have consented to electronic delivery.
If you believe there is an unauthorized transfer or other error on your ACHPC account, or if you need more information about your account to determine if there is an unauthorized transfer or other error on your account, contact us through our customer support portal AS SOON AS YOU CAN. We must hear from you no later than 60 days after the transfer or error posted to the payment history on your ACHPC account.
We will investigate and, where appropriate, resolve any suspected error that you report within 60 days of the error posting to your ACHPC account. We may also investigate and/or resolve suspected errors that are reported after 60 days of posting to your ACHPC account, in our sole discretion.
When you contact us, be prepared, if possible, to:
(1) Tell us your name and account number (if any).
(2) Describe the error or the transfer you are unsure about, and explain as clearly as you can why you believe it is an error or why you need more information.
(3) Tell us the dollar amount of the suspected error.
If you tell us orally, we may require that you send us your complaint or question in writing within 10 business days.
We will determine whether an error occurred within 10 business days after we hear from you and will correct any error promptly. If we need more time, however, we may take up to 45 days to investigate your complaint or question. If we decide to do this, we will credit your account within 10 business days for the amount you think is in error, so that you will have use of the money during the time it takes us to complete our investigation. If we ask you to put your complaint or question in writing and we do not receive it within 10 business days, we may not credit your account.
For errors involving new accounts or foreign-initiated transactions, we may take up to 90 days to investigate your complaint or question. For new accounts, we may take up to 20 business days to credit your account for the amount you think is in error.
We will tell you the results within three (3) business days after completing our investigation. If we decided that there was no error, we will send you a written explanation. You may ask for copies of the documents that we used in our investigation.

The California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (CCPA), as amended, requires ACHPC to describe how we collect, process, and share your personal information. This Supplemental Privacy Notice is designed to help you understand the categories of personal information that we collect about you, where we get that personal information, who we share it with, and the rights you have to know and control your personal information.
This Supplemental Privacy Notice does not apply to any employees, owners, directors, officers, or contractors of ACHPC or its affiliates.
ACHPC DOES NOT SELL YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION.
General Information. To understand all of the rights granted to covered California consumers under the CCPA, please review the California State Attorney General’s CCPA Fact Sheet, available at https://oag.ca.gov/privacy/ccpa.
Exercising Your Rights. Subject to the exceptions and limitations described below, you have the following rights under the CCPA with respect to the personal information that ACHPC collects about you:
- Right to Know. You have the right to request that we give you information about our collection, use, and sharing of your personal information over the prior 12 months. If you want to exercise this Right to Know, you can submit a Request to Know by email. We will confirm receipt of your Request to Know within 10 days. If you do not receive a confirmation of receipt within 10 days, we may not have received your Request to Know and you should re-submit it. We may take up to 90 days to respond to your Request to Know.
Once we receive your Request to Know and verify your identity, we will disclose to you the following information for the 12 months prior to the date on which we received your Request:
- The categories of personal information we collected about you.
- The categories of sources from which we collected your personal information.
- Our business and commercial purpose(s) for collecting your personal information.
- The categories of service providers or third parties with whom we share your personal information.
- The specific pieces of personal information we collected about you, to the extent permitted by law. We can never share, even with you, your Social Security number, government-issued identification number(s), health or medical information, financial account number(s), password, or security questions and answers.
We reserve the right to deny your Request to Know, in whole or in part, if we cannot verify your identity or if responding to your Request would create a substantial security risk. If we deny your Request to Know, we will inform you and will provide the basis of the denial.
- Right to Delete. Subject to the exceptions described below, you have the right to tell us to delete the personal information that we have collected from you. If you want to exercise this Right to Delete, you can submit a Request to Delete by email your request by initiating a chat with our Support Team. We will confirm receipt of your Request to Delete within 10 days. If you do not receive a confirmation of receipt within 10 days, we may not have received your Request to Delete and you should re-submit it. We may take up to 90 days to respond to your Request to Delete.
Please note that, under the CCPA, we will not delete personal information that we have collected from you if we need to maintain that personal information in order to:
- Complete a transaction that you requested, or provide our Service to you;
- Reasonably maintain our ongoing relationship with you;
- Perform a contract between ACHPC and you;
- Detect security incidents;
- Protect you, ACHPC or others against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent or illegal activity, or prosecute those responsible for that activity;

- Comply with a legal obligation; or

Once we receive your Request to Delete and verify your identity, we will delete your personal information from our records, unless one of the exceptions listed above applies. In that case, we will notify you that your Request to Delete is denied, in whole or in part, and we will identify the applicable exception(s).
We may delete your personal information by any of the following means:
- Permanently and completely erasing the personal information from our systems;
- De-identifying the personal information so that it cannot reasonably be linked or identified to you; and/or
- Aggregating the personal information such that individual consumer identities have been removed.
We will specify the means used to delete your personal information in our response to you. Please note that if your personal information is stored on an archived or backup system, we are not required to delete your personal information from that system until the next time we use or access the system.
We reserve the right to deny, in whole or in part, your Request to Delete if we cannot verify your identity. If we deny your Request to Delete, we will inform you and will provide the basis of the denial.
- Right to Opt out of Sale of Your Personal Information. If a business sells consumer personal information, the CCPA grants consumers a right to tell a business not to sell (i.e., opt out of the sale of) their personal information. ACHPC does not sell your personal information. For clarity, ACHPC does not permit persons under the age of 18 years old to use our Service, and we do not collect personal information from any person under the age of 16 years.

- Verifying Your Identity. When you submit a Request to Know or a Request to Delete, we must verify your identity. If you are a ACHPC account holder, we will ask you to verify your identity by logging in to your account. To verify identity, we may ask you for additional information, including by asking you to confirm other personal information you have provided to us. We reserve the right to deny your Request to Know or a Request to Delete if we cannot reasonably verify your identity.
- Requests from Authorized Agents. If you have authorized another person to make a Request to Know or a Request to Delete on your behalf, that person must provide to us your written authorization allowing them to make such a request on your behalf. We reserve the right to deny a Request to Know or a Request to Delete by an authorized agent if we are not reasonably able to confirm proper authorization and/or verify your identity as the requestor.
