Data retention

CTI reviews and classifies all data (electronic and printed) that is in our possession as per our Secure Data Classification Policy, applying the appropriate levels of protection as required by state, federal, and international law, as well as proprietary, ethical, operational, and privacy considerations. Security standards, which define these security controls and requirements, may include document marking/labeling, release procedures, privacy, transmission requirements, printing protection, computer display protections, storage requirements, destruction methods, physical security requirements, access controls, backup requirements, transport procedures, encryption requirements, and incident reporting procedures.

We will only retain your Personal Data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. We will actively review the information we hold and when there is no longer a customer, legal or business need for us to hold it, we will delete it securely. To determine the appropriate retention period for Personal Data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the Personal Data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your Personal Data, the purposes for which we process your Personal Data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

In some circumstances we may anonymize your Personal Data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

For users that register on our website, we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

How your data is protected

CTI takes great precautions to protect our users’ personal information.

When users submit sensitive information via the Site, the information is encrypted and protected with a widely accepted industry standard encryption protocol – SSL. The servers that we store user information on are also housed in a secure environment. The security of your personal information is important to CTI and we follow generally accepted standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, however. Therefore, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Access to all our users’ information is restricted. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job are granted access to personally identifiable information. Furthermore, all employees are kept up to date on our security and privacy practices. Any time new policies are added, our employees are notified and/or reminded about the importance we place on privacy and what they can do to ensure that our users’ information is protected. Employees receive annual Security and Privacy Awareness training.

We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected Personal Data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach when we are legally required to do so.
