Privacy Policy

Acho Resources International, LLC (“we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and protect personal information when you visit https://www.steveacho.com (the “Website”), contact us, request a booking, join our email list, or otherwise interact with us. It does not apply to third-party websites or services we do not control.

We operate this Website for keynote speaker, author and musician Steve Acho, based in Detroit, Michigan. This Website describes his work and lets you contact us, request a booking and join our email list. It does not sell anything online, host customer accounts, or process payments.

Information We Collect

• Information you provide. Your name, email address, organization, event date and location, audience size, the services you are interested in, and anything else you choose to tell us by form, email, or phone. If you join our VIP email list, we collect your first name and email address.
• Information collected automatically. Our hosting provider and other service providers may collect your IP address, browser and device type, operating system, pages viewed, referring pages, approximate location based on your IP address, and the date and time of your visit. We use this information to serve and secure the Website.
• Cookies and similar technologies. See “Cookies and Analytics” below.

Sensitive information. Please do not send Social Security numbers, government ID numbers, financial account numbers, or health information through the Website or by email. We do not need them to respond to you, and a Website form is not a secure channel for them.

How We Use Information

• Respond to inquiries, booking requests, and scheduling questions.
• Contact you about the services you asked about, by email or phone.
• Provide the services you request from us.
• Send email updates to people who join our VIP email list.
• Operate, secure, and improve the Website.
• Keep business, tax, insurance, and service records.
• Investigate fraud or misuse and enforce our rights and agreements.
• Comply with legal obligations and respond to lawful requests.

If you join our VIP email list, we may send you promotional messages about new music, videos, collaborations, live shows and the Simple Life Hacks blog. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in the message or by contacting us. We may still send non-promotional messages, such as replies to your inquiries.

We do not use information collected through the Website to make automated decisions that have legal or similarly significant effects on you.

How We Share Information

We share personal information only in these situations:

• Service providers. Vercel, which hosts the Website; Formspree, which receives booking form submissions and delivers them to us by email; AWeber, which manages our VIP email list and receives the name and email address you enter in the sign-up form; and our email provider and professional advisers. They process information on our behalf and may use it only to perform services for us.
• Legal, safety, and compliance. When we believe disclosure is necessary to comply with law, respond to a lawful request, enforce our agreements, or protect the rights, property, or safety of Acho Resources International, LLC, our customers, or others.
• Business transfers. In connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, sale of assets, or similar transaction.
• With your direction or consent. When you ask or authorize us to share.

We do not sell personal information.

Cookies and Analytics

This Website does not use analytics tools, does not set advertising cookies, and does not run advertising pixels. It does not show a cookie banner because we do not place non-essential cookies. Our hosting provider may set strictly necessary cookies required to deliver and secure the Website. You can manage cookies through your browser settings.

Some pages include content from other companies. The home page and the Music page embed a Spotify player. The VIP email list sign-up form, which appears in the footer of every page, loads a small image from AWeber that AWeber uses to count how often the form is displayed. When a page loads that content, the provider may receive your IP address and browser details and may set its own cookies under its own privacy policy. We do not control those cookies.

Do Not Track. Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” setting. Because there is no common standard for it, we do not respond to Do Not Track signals. This Website does not track you across other websites.

If we add analytics, advertising, or other tracking tools, we will update this section before they go live.

Your Privacy Choices

Depending on where you live and which laws apply, you may have the right to access personal information we hold about you, get a portable copy, correct it, ask us to delete it, opt out of targeted advertising or the sale or sharing of personal information, and not be treated differently for exercising these rights.

To make a request, contact us using the details under “Contact Us” and tell us what you are asking for. We may need to verify your identity first, and we will ask only for what is reasonably necessary. You may use an authorized agent where the law permits. We may require proof of the agent’s authority.

We will respond within the time the law that applies to you requires, which is generally 45 days, and we will tell you before we extend it. If we decline your request, you may appeal by contacting us with the subject line “Privacy Request Appeal.” We will respond to your appeal within the time the law requires and explain our decision. If your appeal is denied, you may contact your state attorney general.

You can also ask us at any time to stop contacting you, and we will stop.

Data Retention

We keep personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes in this policy, including responding to you, providing our services, and keeping business, tax, insurance, and legal records. When we no longer need information, we delete it or keep it in a form that no longer identifies you. We do not try to re-identify information we have de-identified, except as the law permits.

Data Security

This Website is served over HTTPS, and form submissions are sent over an encrypted connection. We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect personal information. No online system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Children’s Privacy

This Website is directed to event planners, businesses, organizations and music fans, not to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13, and we do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of anyone under 18 or use it for targeted advertising. If you believe a child has given us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

Third-Party Links

The Website may link to third-party websites or services. We are not responsible for their privacy practices or content. Review their policies before giving them personal information.

Where We Operate

We operate in the United States. This Website is intended for visitors in the United States. If you access it from elsewhere, your information will be transferred to and processed in the United States.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy. The current version is always posted on this page with its effective date. Where the law requires, we will give additional notice.
