This is the information that does not identify you as a specific individual on its own or in combination with other information (“Non-Personally Identifiable Information”).

All transmissions between you and us, including emails, URLs, cookie identification numbers, usage paths, and any personally identifiable information they might contain, pass through many third party machines, operating systems, programs, browsers, web servers, networks, routers, ethernet switches, internet service providers, proxy servers, intranets, the public telephone systems, or other devices, any of which may create activity logs containing such transmissions, and many of which we cannot control.

5. How we store and protect your information

  1. The data that we collect from you and process as a result of your use of the Site and of our services may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”). It may also be processed by staff operating outside the EEA who work for us or for one of our affiliates or suppliers. Such staff maybe engaged in, among other things, the processing of your payment details and the provision of support services. By submitting your personal data, you agree to this third-party transfer, storing or processing of personal data. In particular, your data may be stored by TrusTrace’s hosting service provider on servers in the Republic of India as well as in the European Union. The Republic of India does not have the same data protection laws as the EEA. An agreement has been signed between TrusTrace and each of its data processors. These agreements are designed to help safeguard your privacy rights and give you remedies in the unlikely event of a misuse of your personal data. We will not otherwise transfer your personal data outside of the EEA or to any organisation (or subordinate bodies) governed by public international law or which is set up under any agreement between two or more countries. If you would like further information in this regard, please do contact us in accordance with the contact details provided at Clause 7 below.

  2. The security and confidentiality of your data is extremely important to us. We have implemented technical, administrative and physical security measures to protect your information from unauthorized access and improper use. From time to time, we review our security procedures in order to consider appropriate new technology and methods. Please be aware though that, despite our best efforts, no security measures are perfect and impenetrable, and no data transmissions over the web can be guaranteed 100% secure. Consequently, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us and you do so at your own risk. If you send us an email, you should know that email is not necessarily secured against interception. Therefore, if your communication will include sensitive information like your bank account, charge card, or social security number, and you prefer not to transmit it electronically, please contact us by postal mail or telephone rather than email.

  3. If we collect information from your computer, we encrypt it while it’s being transferred to us. Once the information reaches our secure servers, as part of our security program, we employ standard procedures and safeguards, such as maintaining firewalls and having an intrusion detection system, to protect the confidentiality, security and integrity of the information we maintain.

  4. When we work with third parties, we require that they maintain the confidentiality, security and integrity of the information and commit that the information is not used for any prohibited purpose.

  5. We use industry standard physical, technical and administrative security measures; and commercially reasonable computer security safeguards in order to safeguard all personal information, confidential and secure. Additionally, we protect our databases and servers against risks of loss, unauthorized access, destruction, misuse, modification, or inadvertent or improper disclosure of data, which includes by internally reviewing our data collection, storage and processing practices and security measures, as well as physical security measures to guard against unauthorized access to systems where we store personal data.

  6. Given the nature of internet transactions, TrusTrace does not take any responsibility for the transmission of information including user information shared by you. Any transmission of user information on the internet is done at your risk and TrusTrace shall not be responsible for the circumvention of the privacy settings or security measures either by you or any third party.
