That depends on whether or not you know what they are saying.

If you know what they are saying, your sentence is correct. You don't have to use the word acerca, by the way.
Translation: I don't care what they're saying about you (I know what it is).

If you don't know what they are saying, you need to shift into the subjunctive mood:
No me importa lo que digan de ti.
Translation: I don't care what they may say about you (whatever it is).

Yes, Rusty's answer is accurate.

Now I will write your post again, the same post that you want to translate.

I don't care what they say about you
This way of translate is accurate and I don't find any mistake, but the sentence could to be better translate of this way, so.(No me importa lo que digan de ti).

I only reaffirm the that Rusty saids before, and I told you, you have made a good job.
