Data Protection Policy

warning

Work in Progress! This policy needs improvement as of 3-15-2024.

As part of our operations, we obtain and process information, some of which can be used to identify individuals (personally-identifiable information, or PII). Our company collects this information in a transparent way and only with the full cooperation and knowledge of interested parties. Once this information is available to us, the following rules apply.

Data will be...​

  • Accurate and kept up-to-date

  • Collected fairly and for lawful purposes only

  • Processed by the company within its legal and ethical boundaries

  • Protected against any unauthorized or illegal access by internal and external parties

Data will not be...​

  • Communicated informally

  • Stored for more than the amount of time specified in our Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, customer contracts, or other binding agreements

  • Downloaded to unapproved devices

  • Transferred to organizations, states, or countries that do not have adequate data protection policies

  • Distributed to any party other than the ones agreed upon by the data's owner (exempting legitimate requests from law enforcement authorities)

Our direct obligation...​

In addition to ways of handling the data, WeSalute has direct obligations towards people to whom the data belongs. Specifically we must:

  • Let people know which of their data is collected

  • Inform people about how we'll process their data

  • Inform people about who has access to their information

  • Have provisions in cases of lost, corrupted, or compromised data

  • Allow people to request that we modify, erase, reduce, or correct data contained in our databases within legal guidelines specified by company policies or law-enforcement agencies

We're committed to...​

  • Restrict and monitor access to sensitive data

  • Develop transparent data collection procedures

  • Train Team Members in online privacy and security measures

  • Build secure networks to protect online data from cyberattacks

  • Establish clear procedures for reporting privacy breaches or data misuse

  • Include contract clauses or communicate statements on how we handle data

  • Establish data protection practices (document shredding, secure locks, data encryption, frequent backups, access authorization etc.)
