4. HOW WE PROTECT YOUR INFORMATION
We will maintain industry-standard physical, electronic and procedural safeguards designed to protect data in our possession from loss, misuse, any use not pointed in this Privacy Policy and unauthorized access. Wherever we collect Personal Data, we make all commercially reasonable efforts to provide the necessary level of protection, as required by the Law and/or Regulation. We can provide such security measures by using third parties (e.g. processors, contractors etc.).
We use such measures to keep your Information safe:
Employees. We chose our employees after a strict background check regarding their business reputation, whether involved in scandals, etc. Each employee has to take probation during which we check his skills, but also his reliability, honesty, his fit for our corporate culture, law abidingness, etc. We limit access to your Information for our employees on a “need to know” basis. The employee gets access only to that Information that he directly needs to perform his work. Moreover, each employee is bound with contractual non-disclosure obligations (NDA), which will remain in force even after the termination of the relationship between the employee and the Company.
Data transmission between Company’s subdivisions and employees is not allowed, except when directly authorized by the top management personnel or expressly provided in their job description.
Staff training. To make sure Personal Data is secure, we communicate our privacy and security guidelines to our employees and strictly enforce privacy safeguards within the Company. We give our employees a briefing (training) regarding the following: on safety and rules for handling Data (including the requirements of the GDPR); when moving away from the workplace, the employee blocks his/her computer; it is forbidden to install any software on the workstations without the permission of the system administrator; it is forbidden to store Data (in any form) in unprotected locations (environment); it is forbidden to take Data carriers outside the office.
We constantly improve our Data protection mechanisms and methods of training employees.
Access control. We maintain industry-standard physical, electronic and procedural safeguards designed to protect Personal Data in our possession from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access. We provide following security measures: access to the building by an individual card through the security point; access to the offices through code and fingerprint; in different offices there are different code and fingerprints for access, which allows the employee to enter only to the office assigned to him (access to all offices is provided only to the top management personnel); access to the working computer by password and login (only the employee knows); access to the Products with Data only by the employees user ID and password.
Relations with contractors and third party service providers. In addition to abovementioned security measures that we provide when cooperate with third party service providers, we also choose our contractors (subcontractors) on the same principles, on which we select employees. Contractors come for a specific task. They delete all received Data after the job is completed. They also sign the NDA on the same principles as our employees. They receive access only to the Data that is directly necessary for the task.
We choose only those contractors and third party service providers that have long been on the market and have established themselves as exceptional companies with a perfect reputation. An exception may be the need to use a contractor from a completely new sphere in which there is still no established market and companies a long time working on it; in such cases, we will implement all the necessary additional measures of data control and protection, as required by law.
The security of your Personal Information is important to us, but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of storage, is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Information, we cannot guarantee that the Site or the Data stored during your use of the Products is invulnerable to hacking and will not be subject to a security breach. We make no warranty, guarantee, or representation that the Site, the Platform, the Products or the Services are or will be protected from all viruses, security threats or other vulnerabilities or that your Personal Data and Non-Personal Data will always be secure.
Moreover, notice that you are solely responsible for keeping your password confidential and for all use of your password and your account, including any unauthorized use. You should also be aware that there is always some risk involved in transmitting Information over the internet. While we strive to protect your Personal Data, we cannot ensure or warrant the security and privacy of your Personal Data or other content you transmit using the Service, and you do so at your own risk.
Your obligations regarding security of your Data are the following: not to disclose your contact information and other data, which allows/enables unauthorized access to the Products and/or Site or any other actions, connected to the Products and/or Site on your behalf; make reasonable efforts to secure your actions in Internet and your use of the Products. You are solely responsible for the correctness, appropriateness fullness etc. of the provided data and warrant to us that you have all rights to provide us with such data.

8. OTHER PROVISIONS AS REQUIRED BY LAW
A. Do Not Track Signals
We use the usual types of tracking systems that are a standard practice in advertising, e.g. Google AdWords to track you over time and across third-party websites to provide targeted advertising and therefore do not respond to Do Not Track (DNT) signals. As well, be aware that some third party sites do keep track of your browsing activities when they serve you content, which enables them to tailor what they present to you.
B. Notice for Minors
We offer the interactive Products, which allows you to post content to share publicly or with friends. At any time, you can delete or remove content you have posted using the deletion or removal options within the Products. If you have questions about how to remove content in a specific service or if you would like additional assistance with deletion you can contact us via email pointed in this Privacy Policy. Although we offer deletion capability for the Products, you should be aware that the removal of content may not ensure complete or comprehensive removal of that content or information posted through the Products.
You should acknowledge that deleting/stop of use of the Products does not automatically mean that we have no of your Personal Data or that we as well deleted all of your Personal Data we have. In order to have your Personal Data deleted you should contact us via email pointed in this Privacy Policy.

You can access the new version of Privacy Police from the same day as it comes to affect – so you have the time to make a decision regarding the further use of the Site and the Products. As well, we can make a draft of new Privacy Policy available in advance if we will consider it appropriate.
