Depending on the circumstances, whenever you provide Acer with your PI, Acer may use it for any or all of the following:

Acer collects personal information directly from you. When you make a purchase at the online Acer Store, you do not submit your payment card data directly to Acer, but rather to a secure third-party online payment processing partner with expertise in payment processing and data security. If approved, Acer receives a digital “token” that tells Acer that the purchase amount is authorized. As part of the tokenization process, Acer receives an authorization ID, a transaction ID, and the first six and last four digits of the payment card. Acer never receives the full payment card number, the security code or the expiration date. The entire transaction is performed via a secure and encrypted method.

To provide you with certain services related to our products, Acer may share your personal information with:

• Uses that helps to ensure security and integrity, but only to the extent that the use is reasonably necessary and proportionate.
• Short-term, transient use, such as non-personalized advertising shown as part of a consumer’s current interaction with the business, if the business does not: disclose the sensitive personal information to another third party; or use it to build a profile about the consumer or otherwise alter the consumer’s experience outside their current interaction with the business.
