How do we use cookies?
AMCP uses cookies to differentiate you from other users. Sometimes, through cookies we can prevent you from seeing unnecessary advertisements or logging in more times than is necessary. Also, cookies help us gather feedback to improve our websites and customer experience. AMCP’s cookies do not collect personal information.
AMCP may also work with third parties to collect visitor data for conversion tracking purposes and market to you on other platforms, such as a social media site like Twitter. If you are interested in opting out of Twitter’s collection of remarketing data, you can find instructions here.
We neither rent nor sell your personal information to anyone, and we will share your personal information only as described below.
AMCP Personnel
AMCP personnel and authorized contractors may have access to user information if necessary in the normal course of AMCP’s business to improve visitor experience, provide better customer service, etc.
Business Transfers
In some cases, we may choose to buy or sell assets. In these types of transactions, user information is typically one of the business assets transferred.
Protection of AMCP and Others
We may release personal information when we believe in good faith that release is necessary to comply with a law; to enforce or apply other policies; or to protect the rights, property, or safety of AMCP, our employees, our users, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction.
We may showcase outstanding entries to our competitions and the creative professionals behind the work, but this is done only if the entrant grants us permission during the online entry process. AMCP recognizes that many entrants are adamant about not wanting their work displayed. Only those entries that grant permission will be considered for inclusion on our various public platforms. Otherwise, only judges will see entries.
AMCP may amend this privacy policy from time to time, at its sole discretion. Use of information we collect now is subject to the privacy policy in effect at the time such information is used. If we make changes to the privacy policy, we will notify you by posting an announcement on AMCP’s website so you are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances – if any – it is disclosed.
