ACS SmartAccess

I. GENERAL

This document outlines the privacy measures governing ACS’s mobile application, ACS-SmartAccess. ACS-SmartAccess is a demo application for creating electronic identification (e-ID) cards with the aid of a Bluetooth-enabled smart card reader.

The application is used in conjunction with select ACS smart card readers and smart card (contact and contactless).

II. PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION

The application requests the following information from users during the process of creating an electronic business card: name, company name, job title. These information stored on the card may be deleted or overwritten by the user through the application. The application does not store the information and solicits no further personally identifiable information apart from these.

The abovementioned information is requested solely to populate the e-ID created by the user. Information cannot be gathered by the application unless a user encodes the requested information into the application.

III. INFORMATION STORAGE AND PROTECTION

The application enables storage of the aforementioned information, but does not transmit it to other parties in a manner apart from its data exchange function, which facilitates access control using an e-ID card and smart card reader. During such a process, information is protected through smart card-based encryption technologies.

The developer does not, under any circumstances, collect information encoded into the application. Nor does the developer collect, retain, or provide third parties with personally identifiable information of downloaders of the ACS-SmartAccess application.

IV. ABOUT THE DEVELOPER

V. NOTIFICATION OF CHANGES

VI. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

ACS has developed this application solely to demonstrate the functionalities of its products, and will not be held responsible for any illegal or malicious activity that may be enabled by this application.
