Data Protection

The security of your personal data is important to us, and we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information. However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee its absolute privacy or security.

Ways we project your data: 

  1. Data Encryption: Job Site Ready prioritizes data security by employing robust encryption techniques to safeguard sensitive customer information both in storage and during transmission. This ensures that data remains protected from unauthorized access.
  2. Access Control: By implementing strict access control measures, Job Site Ready ensures that only authorized personnel have access to customer data. This reduces the risk of data breaches and maintains the confidentiality of sensitive information.
  3. Regular Security Audits: Job Site Ready conducts routine security audits and assessments to identify and address any vulnerabilities in its data protection protocols. This proactive approach allows the company to enhance its security measures continuously.
  4. Data Minimization: Adhering to the principle of data minimization, Job Site Ready collects only necessary customer information for business operations. By limiting the amount of sensitive data stored, the company reduces the potential exposure to risks associated with data breaches.
  5. User Consent and Transparency: Job Site Ready's privacy policy clearly outlines how customer data is collected, processed, and used. The company obtains explicit consent from users before gathering their information, promoting transparency and building trust with customers.
  6. Data Retention Policies: Job Site Ready has established data retention policies that define the duration for which customer data is stored. The company follows secure procedures for deleting unnecessary information, ensuring compliance with data protection regulations.
  7. Employee Training: Job Site Ready provides comprehensive training programs for its employees on data privacy practices and information security protocols. By educating staff members about data protection, the company fosters a culture of security awareness within the organization.

We may share your information with vendors, consultants, and other third-party service providers ("third parties") who perform services for us or on our behalf and require access to such information to do that work. We have contracts in place with our third parties, which are designed to help safeguard your personal information. This means that they cannot do anything with your personal information unless we have instructed them to do it. They will also not share your personal information with any organization apart from us. They also commit to protect the data they hold on our behalf and to retain it for the period we instruct.

We may use cookies and similar tracking technologies (like web beacons and pixels) to access or store information. If we do use such tracking technologies, the specific information about how we use such technologies and how you can refuse certain cookies is set out a Cookie Notice allowing you to control the use of such technologies.

We will only keep your information for as long as it is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting, or other legal requirements). No purpose in this notice will require us keeping your information for longer than twelve (12) months past the termination of the your cancelation of Services.

When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize such information, or, if this is not possible (for example, because your information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible or occurs through our normal archival deletion processes.

In some regions (like the EEA, UK, Switzerland, and Canada) and in some states (like California, Colorado, and Montana), you have certain rights under applicable data protection laws. These may include the right (i) to request access and obtain a copy of your personal information, (ii) to request rectification or erasure; (iii) to restrict the processing of your personal information; (iv) if applicable, to data portability; and (v) not to be subject to automated decision-making. In certain circumstances, you may also have the right to object to the processing of your personal information. You can make such a request by contacting us.

If we are relying on your consent to process your personal information, which may be express and/or implied consent depending on the applicable law, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. You can withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us. However, please note that this will not affect the lawfulness of the processing before its withdrawal nor, when applicable law allows, will it affect the processing of your personal information conducted in reliance on lawful processing grounds other than consent.

You can unsubscribe from our marketing and promotional communications at any time by clicking on the unsubscribe link in the communications that we send, replying "STOP" or "UNSUBSCRIBE" to the SMS messages that we send, or by contacting us. You will then be removed from the marketing lists. However, we may still communicate with you — for example, to send you service-related messages that are necessary for the administration and use of your account, to respond to service requests, or for other non-marketing purposes.
