Because protecting your personal and business information is important to us, we have adopted strong principles in that respect.

  1. We don’t sell your personal or business information to anyone
  2. We tell you why we use your personal or business information, and we don’t use it for anything else.
  3. We limit how much personal or business information we collect, use, communicate and store to what is necessary for our purposes.
  4. Our service providers may need access to your personal or business information. They are only allowed to use your personal and business information to provide services on our behalf. The only exception is when they have a legal obligation to disclose your personal or business information to the authorities.
  5. We may communicate your personal or business information to the authorities without your consent where required by law.

  5. For hiring purposes: We use your personal information to evaluate your job application and to contact you if needed.

5. HOW WE STORE YOUR PERSONAL AND BUSINESS INFORMATION

  2. How we keep it secure: We take measures to ensure only authorized employees have access to your personal and business information.
