With whom do we share personal data?

We do not sell or otherwise share personal information about you except as described in this SymTem Privacy Policy. We may share personal information with third parties who perform services on our behalf. These third parties are not authorized to use or disclose that information, except as necessary to perform services on our behalf or comply with legal requirements. We may also share the personal information we obtain with our affiliates.  We also share the information you provide to us with your affiliated subscriber, subject to your written consent.

We may disclose information about you:

  • If we are required to do so by law, regulatory obligation, or legal process;
  • In response to requests by government agencies, such as law enforcement authorities or regulatory bodies;
  • For the purpose of or in connection with legal proceedings, or otherwise for the purpose of establishing, exercising or defending our legal rights;
  • When we believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate as a matter of law; or
  • In the event we sell or transfer all or a portion of our business or assets.

We may also (i) compile use data and aggregated statistics based on personal information and other information and (ii) sell or otherwise distribute such aggregated statistics to third parties, including without limitation to vendors or other customers of InfoMart.

Data Retention

We will keep your personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes for which personal data is collected as stated herein; for as long as is necessary for the performance of the contract between you and us and/or between the subscriber and us, if any; and to comply with legal and statutory obligations, such as in tax, regulatory and corporate laws. When we no longer need your personal data for our purposes, including regulatory purposes, we will destroy, delete or erase that personal data or convert it into an anonymous form.

Security, Onward Transfer, and Information Sharing

As a Consumer Reporting Agency (“CRA”) we are actively engaged in ensuring our systems and data are secure. Once we receive personal data, we take steps to protect its security on our systems. In the event we request or transmit sensitive information, we use industry standard Transport Layer Security (“TLS”) encryption.  An ICSA-certified, stateful packet inspection firewall, data storage on externally inaccessible servers, and other technology industry best practices further protect our systems and their data.

The information you provide to InfoMart is used exclusively by InfoMart subscriber identified by you and is only further shared by InfoMart if necessary in performing our services with our in-country or in-region partners.  Our in-country or in-region partners may perform the verifications that will abide by the local privacy and data regulations.

Our emphasis on privacy and security is reflected in the way we operate. We strictly limit access to personally identifiable information to those who are authorized, including approved employees or third parties (in-country and/or in-region researchers, information retrievers, representatives and contracted agents) who need access to carry out their job responsibilities. InfoMart requires its employees and contractors handling user data to pass a thorough background check, and data and security training is a key element of our new employee orientation. All waste paper documents are shredded onsite and state-of-the-art security equipment monitor and control the entrances to our premises.

In cases of onward transfer to third parties of data of EU and Swiss individuals received pursuant to the EU-US and Swiss-US Privacy Shield Frameworks, InfoMart is potentially liable.

Cookie

A “cookie” is a piece of information stored on your computer or cell phone. Although cookies are used for a variety of purposes, our application only uses temporary “session” cookies that do not contain any personal information about you and they are automatically removed from your computer or cell phone once you log out of our software, close your browser, or perform no activity within the software for a period of 20 minutes.
