Privacy Policy

ABACC Connect is the member platform of the Association of Business Administrators of Christian Colleges. It serves member institutions, their staff, and corporate partners. This policy explains what we collect through the platform and what we do with it.

Account and profile information you or your institution provide: name, job title, work email address, institution, optional biography, and an optional mobile phone number.

Participation records: membership and dues history, event and conference registrations, continuing professional education activity, discussion posts, and resource downloads.

Technical information: sign-in events, IP address, browser and device type, and pages viewed, used to keep the platform secure and working properly.

To operate your membership, deliver conference and education programs, issue CPE certificates, produce the member directory, send the communications you have asked for, and to keep the platform secure.

We do not sell personal information. We do not share it with third parties for their own marketing.

Text messaging is optional and entirely voluntary. Consent to receive text messages is never a condition of membership, of creating an account, or of using ABACC Connect, and no feature of the platform is withheld if you decline.

If you opt in, your mobile phone number and your consent record are used only to deliver the notifications you requested — one-time account verification codes, and conference and event notifications. We send no marketing text messages.

Mobile phone numbers and consent records are never shared or sold to third parties for marketing purposes. We share your number only with the messaging carrier or provider that delivers the message on our behalf, and only for that delivery.

You can opt out at any time by replying STOP to any message, or by turning text notifications off in your profile settings. Details of the program, including HELP instructions, are on the text message notifications page.

The member directory is visible only to signed-in ABACC members and is never published on the open web. You control how much of your record appears through the directory visibility setting in your profile.

Membership, dues, and continuing education records are retained for as long as they are needed for association recordkeeping and any applicable accreditation or tax requirements. Consent records for text messaging are retained for the life of the messaging program and for a reasonable period afterwards as proof of consent. Technical logs are retained for a short operational period.

Access to member data is restricted by role and enforced at the database level. Data is encrypted in transit. Administrative access is logged and auditable, and staff sessions that view a member's account are recorded and read-only.

You may review and update your profile at any time, change your email preferences, adjust directory visibility, and opt out of text messages. To request a copy of your information or its deletion, contact us.
