Data Security

Measures to Protect Personal Information

The security and privacy of your personal information are of paramount importance to us. We are committed to implementing and maintaining appropriate technical, administrative, and physical measures to safeguard your information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or loss.

Below are some of the measures we have in place to protect your personal information:

Data Encryption: We use encryption technologies, such as Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS), to protect the transmission and storage of your personal information. This ensures that your data is securely encrypted during transmission and can only be decrypted by authorized recipients.
Access Controls: We have implemented access controls to restrict access to your personal information to only those employees, contractors, and service providers who have a legitimate business need to access the information. Access is granted on a need-to-know basis, and all individuals with access are subject to strict confidentiality obligations.
Network Security: We maintain robust network security measures, including firewalls, intrusion detection and prevention systems, and network segmentation, to protect against unauthorized access to our systems and data.
Security Training: We provide regular training to our employees and staff to raise awareness of data protection principles, best practices, and potential security risks. This includes training on how to handle personal information securely and how to recognize and respond to potential security incidents.
Incident Response: We have established an incident response plan to promptly address and mitigate any potential data breaches or security incidents. In the event of a security incident, we will take immediate steps to contain the incident, assess the impact, notify affected individuals as required by law, and implement remedial measures to prevent future incidents.
Secure Data Storage: We store your personal information in secure data centers that are protected by physical and environmental security measures, including video surveillance, access controls, and redundant power systems.
Data Retention: We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, comply with legal and regulatory requirements, and meet our business needs. When your information is no longer needed, we securely dispose of it in accordance with our data retention and deletion policies.
Third-Party Security: We carefully select third-party service providers and partners who process personal information on our behalf. We require these third parties to adhere to high standards of data protection and to implement appropriate security measures to safeguard your information.
Continuous Review: We continuously review and update our security measures to address evolving threats and vulnerabilities. We also conduct regular security assessments and audits to evaluate the effectiveness of our security controls and identify areas for improvement.

While we strive to provide the highest level of protection for your personal information, no security measures are infallible, and the transmission of information over the internet inherently carries some degree of risk. We encourage you to take steps to protect your own personal information, such as using strong, unique passwords, keeping your devices secure, and being cautious when sharing personal information online.

If you have any questions or concerns about the security of your personal information or if you suspect a security breach, please contact us immediately using the information provided in the “Contact Us” section of this Privacy Policy. We are committed to working with you to address any concerns and to continually enhance the security of our platform and services.

Our breach notification procedures are designed to comply with applicable data protection laws and regulations, and they include the following key steps:

Notification to Regulatory Authorities: In accordance with applicable data protection laws, we will report data breaches to the relevant regulatory authorities within the required timeframes. The report will include details of the breach, its potential impact, and the measures we have taken to address the situation.
Documentation and Record-Keeping: We will maintain detailed records of any data breaches, including the circumstances of the breach, our response and notification procedures, and any remedial actions taken. These records will be retained in accordance with our data retention policies and legal obligations.
Review and Improvement: Following a data breach, we will conduct a comprehensive review to assess the effectiveness of our response and identify any areas for improvement. We will use the lessons learned from the incident to enhance our security measures, policies, and procedures to prevent future breaches.
Communication and Support: We understand that a data breach can be concerning for affected individuals, and we are committed to providing clear and transparent communication throughout the process. We will make ourselves available to answer any questions, provide updates, and offer support to those impacted by the breach.

The security and privacy of your personal information are of paramount importance to Alchemanity, and we take our responsibilities in this area seriously.

Criteria for Data Retention

At Alchemanity, we take a thoughtful and measured approach to data retention, ensuring that we retain personal information only for as long as necessary and in accordance with legal, regulatory, and business requirements.

The criteria we use to determine our data retention periods include the following:

We retain data for the duration necessary to fulfill the intended purpose, whether it be to provide our services, support user accounts, fulfill contractual obligations, or comply with legal requirements.
Legal and Regulatory Requirements: We adhere to all applicable laws and regulations that specify retention periods for certain types of personal information. For example, laws governing financial transactions, tax reporting, and consumer protection may require us to retain specific records for a defined period.
Contractual Obligations: When personal information is collected as part of a contractual relationship with users, partners, or service providers, we retain the information for the duration of the contract and for a reasonable period thereafter to fulfill our obligations, address any disputes, and enforce our agreements.

Ongoing Relationships: For active user accounts and ongoing business relationships, we retain personal information to facilitate continued access to our platform, provide support, and maintain user preferences and settings.
Dispute Resolution and Legal Proceedings: If personal information is relevant to a legal dispute, investigation, or regulatory inquiry, we retain the information for the duration of the proceedings and as necessary to comply with court orders, legal obligations, and evidentiary requirements.
Data Archiving and Research: In limited cases, we may retain certain personal information in a securely archived form for historical, academic, or research purposes, provided that the data is anonymized or de-identified to protect privacy.

International Data Transfers

Cross-Border Data Transfers

As a global platform, Alchemanity may transfer, process, and store personal information across borders and in countries other than the country in which the information was originally collected. These cross-border data transfers may occur in the context of providing our services, operating our platform, and working with third-party service providers and partners. We recognize that data protection laws and regulations vary from country to country, and we are committed to ensuring that your personal information is protected regardless of its location. Below, we outline the measures we take to safeguard cross-border data transfers:

Legal Basis for Cross-Border Transfers: We only transfer personal information across borders in accordance with applicable data protection laws and based on a valid legal basis, such as user consent, contractual necessity, or compliance with legal obligations.
Standard Contractual Clauses: To ensure the lawful transfer of personal information to countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA) or other regions with data protection laws, we use Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission or other relevant authorities. These clauses establish contractual obligations for both the data exporter and data importer to protect personal information in accordance with EU data protection standards.
Privacy Shield Framework: While the Privacy Shield Framework is no longer a valid mechanism for data transfers from the EEA to the United States, we remain committed to upholding the principles of the Privacy Shield, including notice, choice, accountability for onward transfer, security, data integrity, access, and recourse.
Adequacy Decisions: When transferring personal information to countries that have been recognized by the European Commission or other relevant authorities as providing an adequate level of data protection, we rely on the adequacy decision to facilitate the transfer.
Binding Corporate Rules: In cases where we transfer personal information within our group of affiliated companies, we may implement Binding Corporate Rules (BCRs) to provide a consistent level of protection for personal information throughout our organization.
Data Protection Impact Assessments: Prior to initiating cross-border data transfers, we conduct Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs) to evaluate the risks associated with the transfer and implement appropriate safeguards to mitigate those risks.
Third-Party Transfers: When transferring personal information to third-party service providers or partners located in other countries, we require them to adhere to strict data protection standards and implement appropriate security measures to safeguard the information.

We are committed to transparency and accountability in our cross-border data transfer practices, and we continuously review and update our measures to ensure compliance with evolving data protection laws and regulations. If you have any questions or concerns about our cross-border data transfers or the safeguards we have in place, please contact us using the information provided in the “Contact Us” section of this Privacy Policy.
