Privacy Policy

ACS is based at 692 W Grand Avenue, Rahway, NJ 07065. We operate autismcommunityservices.com, along with company pages on Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn, which we use to share updates, staffing availability, and community stories with families, support coordinators, and prospective staff.

This policy covers our public-facing digital properties. It does not alter the confidentiality protections that apply to individuals receiving services from ACS, which are governed separately by our service agreements and applicable state and federal law (including HIPAA, where applicable).

We collect information in a few different ways, depending on how you interact with us:

We do not knowingly collect protected health information or service-recipient case data through our website or social pages. That information is handled exclusively through our secure internal systems, under separate confidentiality obligations.

• Responding to inquiries about services, referrals, or employment.
• Sharing agency updates, staffing availability, and community content with families and support coordinators.
• Processing job applications and communicating with candidates.
• Understanding, in aggregate, how people find and use our website so we can keep it useful.

We do not sell personal information, and we do not use it for third-party advertising unrelated to ACS's own services.

ACS maintains company/organization pages on the platforms below. When we connect an application to manage these pages (for example, to schedule or publish posts), that connection is used solely to publish content on ACS's behalf — it does not collect or process personal data belonging to visitors, followers, or connections beyond what each platform already makes available to any page administrator.

Each platform has its own privacy policy governing how it handles your data when you interact with any page, including ours. We encourage you to review the relevant platform's policy as well.

We share information only in the following circumstances:

• With ACS staff who need it to respond to your inquiry or application.
• With service providers who help us operate our website, email, and scheduling tools, bound by confidentiality obligations.
• When required by law, regulation, or a valid legal request.

We keep contact and application information only as long as reasonably needed for the purpose it was collected — generally, the length of a hiring cycle or until an inquiry is resolved, unless a longer period is required by law or a service relationship continues. We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards to protect the information we hold, though no method of storage or transmission is ever completely secure.

You can ask us to tell you what personal information we hold about you, correct it, or delete it, by contacting us using the details below. If you've messaged one of our social pages, you can also unfollow, block, or adjust your own privacy settings directly on that platform at any time.

Our website and social pages are intended for parents, guardians, support coordinators, and adult service-seekers — not for direct use by children. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children through these channels.

We may update this policy as our services or the platforms we use change. The effective date at the top of this page will always reflect the most recent revision.
