HOW WE PROTECT PERSONAL INFORMATION

Security – We follow generally accepted industry standards such as GDPR to protect personal information, during transmission and once we receive it. We use administrative, physical, and technical measures designed to protect it from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, disclosure, alteration or destruction.

Encryption - Any data collected by Bazaar5 for the purposes of assessment is protected by encryption. This means we keep data in an unreadable state unless a user or process presents the appropriate key. In accordance with GDPR, this simple control method restricts data processing only for authorized use, and restricts the amount of time that you are identifiable by your data. Our data is encrypted at rest and in transit. Encryption prevents unauthorized data manipulation; limits data access to authorized users, and monitors key usage to ensure that the data cannot be changed without authorization. Bazaar5’s use of encryption together with our access controls provides users to have confidence in their data’s integrity.

Transit – When we need to transfer information out of our firewall, we use SSL encryption to store your data. We use the highest standards commercially available to protect your personal information, no method of transmission over the internet or method can ever guarantee its absolute security.
