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.
