HOW DOES ECON BIOHAZARD STORE MY DATA?
Econ Biohazard uses its own- and third-party vendors and hosting partners to provide the necessary hardware, software, networking, storage, and related technology required to run our business. The technical processing and transmission of the Service, including your content, may involve (a) transmissions over various networks, and (b) changes to conform and adapt to technical requirements of connecting networks or devices. Currently, Econ Biohazard and its authorized third-party vendors and hosting partners process data (including possibly your personal information) on servers in the United States of America. In some limited cases, personal information may be processed and stored outside the United States of America.
All customer data, including service records and cleanup documentation, is stored on a secure server within a high security firewall, with restricted access to external networks.
WHEN DOES ECON BIOHAZARD DISCLOSE MY DATA?
Econ Biohazard only shares information with other companies or individuals outside of Econ Biohazard in the following limited circumstances:
- With your consent, as in providing it to your insurance company who may be assisting with payment of services.
- When Econ Biohazard has a good faith belief that access, use, preservation or disclosure of such information is reasonably necessary to (a) comply with valid legal processes, applicable law, regulation or enforceable governmental requests; (b) when your actions violate the Terms of Service; (c) to protect user security, the security of other persons, or the security of Econ Biohazard, consistent with applicable laws; and (d) to defend or assert our legal rights.
- To our subsidiaries, affiliated companies and service providers, such as credit-card payment processors or third-party API resources for marketing and research tools, who perform services on our behalf. These subsidiaries, affiliated companies and service providers may have access to information, including personal information, only as needed to perform their functions and are not permitted to share or use such information for any other purposes.
- If Econ Biohazard becomes involved in a merger, acquisition or other form of sale of some or all its assets, information may be shared. Econ Biohazard will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure the confidentiality of any personal information involved in such transactions and provide notice after the personal information is transferred, as well as prior notice if the information is to become subject to a different privacy policy upon transfer. In the unlikely event of a bankruptcy, information may be transferred to a bankruptcy trustee or debtor in possession and then to a subsequent purchaser.
YOUR CHOICES, ACCESSING AND UPDATING INFORMATION
If you become a customer, you may control certain information stored by Econ Biohazard. For example, Econ Biohazard collects your email address. If you previously opted-in to receive marketing emails, no longer want us to contact you for marketing purposes, you can change your account settings by opting out of marketing related emails. Please remember that we will always need an email for mandatory service communications such as billing reminders, information on pending job details, and security announcements.
Because of the way Econ Biohazard maintains certain records, after we delete your information, residual copies may take a period before they are deleted from Econ Biohazard’s active servers and may remain on backup systems.
SECURITY AND RETENTION
Econ Biohazard takes commercially reasonable security measures to guard your information from unauthorized access to or unauthorized alternation, disclosure or destruction. These measures include safeguards such as firewalls, encryption and secure technology. Certain areas of the Econ Biohazard websites such as online payment may only be accessed with a user ID and password. It is your responsibility to keep your password confidential and not disclose it to any other person. You are responsible for all persons using your user ID and password. Please advise us immediately if you believe your user ID and password have been compromised.
Econ Biohazard restricts access to your information to Econ Biohazard employees, contractors and agents who need to know the information in order to process it on Econ Biohazard’s behalf. These individuals are bound by confidentiality obligations and may be subject to discipline, including termination and criminal prosecution, if they fail to meet these obligations.
However, neither people nor security systems are foolproof, including encryption systems. In addition, people can commit intentional crimes, make mistakes, or fail to follow policies. Therefore, while Econ Biohazard uses commercially reasonable efforts to protect your information, Econ Biohazard cannot guarantee its absolute security. If applicable law imposes any non-disclaim able duty to protect your information, you agree that intentional misconduct will be the standards used to measure our compliance with this duty.
Econ Biohazard retains information for as long as required, allowed or Econ Biohazard believes it is useful, but does not undertake retention obligations. Econ Biohazard may dispose of information in Econ Biohazard’s sole discretion without notice, subject to applicable law that specifically requires the handling or retention of information. You must keep your own, separate back-up records of your data.
