Data Security

We have implemented technical and organizational precautionary measures, in accordance with industry best practices, designed to secure your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, disclosure, loss, deletion, or destruction. All information you provide to us is stored on our or our trusted service providers’ secure servers behind firewalls.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information transmitted to our Website. Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the Website.

Data Retention

We will only keep your information, including any personal information, for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which we collected it, to comply with our legal obligations, or to enforce our legal rights (or as required so others may enforce their legal rights). Conscient Strategies makes use of Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology and keeps personal information stored in an encrypted format.

Except as provided elsewhere in this Privacy Policy, Conscient Strategies limits access to your personal information, regardless of if it is stored electronically or in physical form, to those persons (including employees and contractors) in our organization who have a business need for such access.

Generally, the length of time we keep your information will depend on the type of information and the purpose for which we are processing it. To determine the appropriate retention period, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure, the purposes for which we are processing it and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and any applicable legal requirements.

At the end of the appropriate retention period, we will either delete your information from our systems completely or anonymize it so it can be used without identifying you and so we no longer have the ability to re-associate the anonymized information with you in the future, such as by aggregating the information.

If you would like more information about our retention practices, please contact us using the information provided in the “Contact Information” section below.

Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract
Processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation
Processing is necessary in order to protect the vital interests of you or another person
Processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the Company (provided that our interests are not overridden by your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms)

Where you have given your consent to the processing of your personal information, you are able to revoke your consent at any time and can do so by following the instructions in the section titled “Your Data Protection Rights” below.

Your Data Protection Rights

Under GDPR and UK-GDPR, you have the right to exercise control over your personal information, including:

Right of access – you have the right to obtain a copy of the personal information that we hold about you, including other supplementary information
Right to rectification – you have the right to have inaccurate personal information corrected and to have incomplete personal information completed

Right to object to processing – you have the right to object to the processing of your personal information in certain circumstances
Right to data portability – you have the right to obtain the personal information we currently hold about you in a structured, commonly used and machine readable format so that you can transmit that personal information directly to another controller or you can request that we transmit that personal information for you

You are not required to pay any charge for exercising your rights under GDPR and UK-GDPR. If you would like to exercise any of these rights, you can do so by sending us an email to info@conscientstrategies.com with the subject line “Data Subject Rights Request” indicating which right(s) you would like to exercise. We may need to collect some additional information from you so we may verify your identity and those identity verification efforts might come from us or from a trusted vendor on our behalf.

We will only use any personal information you provide for identity verification purposes to verify your identity and to respond to your rights request. Conscient Strategies will do our best to respond to your request as soon as possible and within 30 days from when your request is received. In some circumstances, we may not be able to comply with your requests within that 30 day period and, if that’s the case, we’ll let you know that we require an extension of time to complete the request along with the reason for that extension.

Data Security

We have implemented technical and organizational precautionary measures, in accordance with industry best practices, designed to secure your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, disclosure, loss, deletion, or destruction. All information you provide to us is stored on our or our trusted service providers’ secure servers behind firewalls.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information transmitted to our Website. Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the Website.

Data Retention

We will only keep your information, including any personal information, for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which we collected it, to comply with our legal obligations, or to enforce our legal rights (or as required so others may enforce their legal rights). Conscient Strategies makes use of Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology and keeps personal information stored in an encrypted format.

Except as provided elsewhere in this Privacy Policy, Conscient Strategies limits access to your personal information, regardless of if it is stored electronically or in physical form, to those persons (including employees and contractors) in our organization who have a business need for such access.

Generally, the length of time we keep your information will depend on the type of information and the purpose for which we are processing it. To determine the appropriate retention period, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure, the purposes for which we are processing it and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and any applicable legal requirements.

At the end of the appropriate retention period, we will either delete your information from our systems completely or anonymize it so it can be used without identifying you and so we no longer have the ability to re-associate the anonymized information with you in the future, such as by aggregating the information.

If you would like more information about our retention practices, please contact us using the information provided in the “Contact Information” section below.
