ACT Participant Acknowledgement re Use of Zoom for ACT trainings

For security and confidentiality purposes the ACO is using Zoom for ACT with the following parameters in place:

• • ACO uses only paid Zoom subscription accounts which have a higher level of security (vs. free accounts).
  • All ACT Zoom sessions will be set up using a link with a built-in password.
  • All ACT Zoom sessions will be set up with a waiting room that the trainers will use to control entry of known ACT participants. Trainers may choose to “lock” the rooms as well.
  • Zoom links will be provided to individual participants and will not be posted publicly.
  • Zoom links are not to be shared with others.
  • ACT sessions will not be recorded by the ACO or the trainers. Participants are not permitted to record the sessions or parts thereof.
  • ACT participants should use a private space to take part in the Zoom ACT sessions. No one other than participants should be present. 
  • The use of headphones by all participants is encouraged to protect the privacy of other participants and the discussions.
  • The use of participant video “on” is strongly encouraged to help us all build a sense of community among one another.

  Despite establishing these parameters, ACO cannot guarantee 100% security and confidentiality through the Zoom platform and therefore participants should consider the extent of information they might want to share during the training.

  By participating in the ACT training, participants are giving consent to share information within this understanding.

• Please confirm that you have read this Zoom Participant Acknowledgement and are giving your consent to participate in the Pathways training within this understanding.*
