WHO WE GIVE YOUR INFORMATION TO
We consider your personal information to be a vital part of our relationship with you and do not sell your personal information to third parties. There are, however, certain circumstances in which we may share your personal information with certain third parties, as follows:
Sharing with trusted third parties:
We may share your personal data with affiliated companies with which we have partnered to allow you to integrate their services into our own Services, and with trusted third-party partners as necessary for them to perform services on our behalf, such as:
– Processing credit card payments
– Serving advertisements
– Conducting contests or surveys
– Performing analysis of our Services and customers demographics
– Communicating with you, such as by way email or survey delivery
– Customer relationship management.
We only share your personal data as necessary for any third party to provide the services as requested or as needed on our behalf. We reserve the right to use, disclose and transfer non-personal data to our partners, advertisers and other third parties at our discretion.
Compliance with legal, regulatory and law enforcement requests:
In certain situations, Trace+ Technologies may be required to disclose personal information in response to lawful requests by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements. We reserve the right to disclose your personal information as required by law and when we believe that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights or to comply with a judicial proceeding, court order, or similar legal process served on us or our Site. We will take reasonable steps to ensure that we only collect that personal information that is relevant for the purposes for which it is to be used. Furthermore, we will not process your personal information in a way that is incompatible with these purposes.
CONTROL OF YOUR INFORMATION
When you give us personal information, we will not share that information with third parties without your permission, other than for the limited exceptions already listed. It will only be used for the purposes stated in this Privacy Policy. When Trace+ Technologies is acting as a data controller, we will act in accordance with your permission to offer you our services and as otherwise instructed by you. We will also give you the ability to opt-out before we disclose your personal information to a third party or use your personal information for purposes that are fundamentally different than the purpose for which it was originally created.
YOUR ACCESS TO YOUR INFORMATION
Upon request, Trace+ Technologies will provide you with information about whether we hold, or process on behalf of a third party, any of your personal information. To request this information please see the contact information at the end of this policy.
We will provide you with a copy of the personal information to view we have collected, or also completely delete your personal information, via written request. To request this information please see the contact information at the end of this policy. We will respond to your request within a reasonable timeframe. Requesting deletion of your account means your personal information is permanently deleted and cannot be retrieved. Requesting copies of the personal information we collect about you will be sent in a standard universal format.
HOW WE SECURE, STORE AND RETAIN YOUR DATA
We follow generally accepted standards to secure and store the personal data we collect, both during transmission and once received. We store your personal information only on servers with limited access that are located in controlled facilities and use a variety of technologies and procedures intended to protect your personal information from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction. Nonetheless, no communication via the Internet can ever be 100% secure, and no security measures can ever be assured to be effective. Accordingly, you are advised to use caution and discretion when determining what personal information to disclose to us. We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to provide services you have requested for a variety of legitimate legal or business purposes. We may also retain aggregate information for research purposes and to help us develop and improve our Site and services. These retention periods might include:
– those mandated by law, contract or similar obligations applicable to our business operations;
– for preserving, resolving, defending or enforcing our legal/contractual rights; or
– needed to maintain adequate and accurate business and financial records.
