How we protect your data
We value your trust in providing us your personal information, thus we strive to use all reasonable and acceptable means of protecting it. However, no method of transmission over the internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure and reliable, and we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
When you submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected both online and offline.
All content on this website, and all transmissions of data to and from the website, are encrypted with secure server software (SSL), using a SHA-256 with RSA Encryption certificate. You can verify this by looking for a closed lock icon at the bottom of your web browser, or looking for “https” at the beginning of the address of the web page.
While we use encryption to protect sensitive information transmitted online, we also protect your information offline. Administrative access to data list limited only to the management team who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, troubleshooting tech problems you’ve inquired about), we regularly review the latest data protection guidelines and regulations. The computers/servers in which we store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment.
Who we share your data with
In this section you should list all transfers of your site data outside the European Union and describe the means by which that data is safeguarded to European data protection standards. This could include your web hosting, cloud storage, or other third party services.
European data protection law requires data about European residents which is transferred outside the European Union to be safeguarded to the same standards as if the data was in Europe. So in addition to listing where data goes, you should describe how you ensure that these standards are met either by yourself or by your third party providers, whether that is through an agreement such as Privacy Shield, model clauses in your contracts, or binding corporate rules.
