Privacy Policy
At ACN Cares, your privacy is our top priority. This Privacy & Compliance Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and protect your personal information. We are committed to transparency and to safeguarding the privacy of individuals accessing our community programs for seniors and related resources.
Information We Collect
We collect only what is needed to help you — and we never sell your information. Depending on how you use ACN, this may include:
- Name, contact details, and date of birth
- Household and income information (only when required to check eligibility)
- Program preferences or assistance requests
We do not collect unnecessary data, and we do not sell personal information to anyone.
How We Use Your Information
We use your information to ensure that seniors participating in our community programs receive the services and assistance they need. This may include:
- Determining eligibility for programs (e.g., SNAP, SLMB, Medicaid, ACA, ANCHOR, PAAD, or others)
- Completing referrals to appropriate programs or services
- Following up on applications and providing status updates
- Providing membership services you subscribe to, such as renewal tracking and eligibility reviews
- Improving service quality through optional client feedback
Membership & Payments
Applying for and renewing benefits with ACN is always free. Membership is a separate, optional way to join ACN — much like joining a community — that unlocks ongoing services. If you choose to become a member, payments are processed securely by our third-party payment processor, Stripe. We do not store your full card details. You can cancel your membership at any time; see our Terms of Service for billing and cancellation details.
SMS / Text Messaging
How we obtain your consent
We text you only if you have asked us to. You may opt in verbally during a conversation with our team, by submitting a form on this website, or by filling out a paper form. The consent checkbox on our forms is never pre-selected, and consenting is never a condition of applying for, receiving, or keeping any benefit or service.
SMS consent and phone numbers collected for SMS communication purposes will not be shared with any third party or affiliates for marketing purposes.
What we send
If you have consented to receive text messages from A Caring Nourishment, you may receive messages related to customer care:
- Appointment reminders
- Follow-up messages about your application or case
- Account and membership notifications
Frequency, rates, and opting out
Message frequency may vary. You may receive up to 2 SMS messages per week regarding your appointments or account status.Standard message and data rates may apply, depending on your carrier's pricing plan. You can opt out at any time by replying STOP to any message you receive — you will get one confirmation message and then no further texts. Reply HELP for assistance, or get help directly from us here. Our full SMS terms are in section 4 of our Terms of Service.
Communication & Consent
By submitting your information, you agree that ACN may contact you by phone, text, or email regarding your application, benefits, or membership. You may opt out at any time. You also authorize ACN to share necessary information with trusted program partners solely to process your request.
Artificial Intelligence & Automated Systems
To provide benefit monitoring and wellness support, ACN uses a suite of automated intelligence systems, including our digital assistant “David AI.” What this means for you:
- Identification: Any call or message initiated by our AI technology clearly identifies itself as an automated assistant at the start of the interaction.
- Purpose: These systems are used strictly for non-sales outreach, such as verifying eligibility, conducting wellness check-ins, and providing application status updates.
- Human oversight: Our AI tools are assistants, not replacements. Every automated check-in is monitored by a human Care Coordinator who steps in when needed.
- Your control: You may opt out of AI-led communications at any time and request a “Human-Only” service track.
Sharing Information with Third Parties
- We share information only with verified partners (state programs, nonprofit agencies, or licensed professionals) when necessary to process your request, under strict data-protection agreements.
- We may receive a service or referral fee for connecting you to an approved partner.
- Your personal information is never sold.
- SMS consent and phone numbers collected for SMS communication purposes will not be shared with any third party or affiliates for marketing purposes. Text-message consent is kept separate from every other use of your information and is never passed on, sold, or rented.
Protecting Your Privacy
We use encryption and security best practices to protect your information, and we comply with all applicable laws. Data is stored only as long as necessary to fulfill your request.
Your Rights & Data Access
You stay in control of your information. You have the right to:
- Access and review your information
- Request correction or removal of incorrect data
- Withdraw consent at any time
