How We Protect Your Information

Once we receive your data, we take steps to ensure it’s handled according to applicable laws. However, internet transmission is not completely secure. While we do our best to protect your personal data on Nerdy Home Tech, we cannot guarantee the security of data transmitted to our site; any transmission is at your own risk.

Other Websites

Links and advertisements on Nerdy Home Tech may lead to external websites with different privacy practices. We are not responsible for and have no control over information submitted to or collected by these third parties. We may earn commissions from some of these links through affiliate programs. However, we are not responsible for the content or privacy policies of these websites or third-party advertisers, nor how they use your information.

How Long We Keep Your Information

We may be required by law to keep certain customer information (like financial and transaction data) for a period of time after they cease being customers for tax purposes.

Our data retention periods vary depending on the context of the services we provide and our legal obligations. We consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of your data, the potential risk of unauthorized use or disclosure, the purposes for which we process the data, and applicable legal requirements when determining how long to retain it.

Security

At our organization, we recognize the utmost importance of safeguarding your personal information. We employ a comprehensive suite of security measures to ensure the integrity and confidentiality of the data you entrust to us. However, it’s essential to acknowledge that no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely immune to security risks.

While we make every effort to protect your personal information using commercially accepted standards and best practices, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. This is because the internet is an inherently insecure environment, and new threats and vulnerabilities emerge continuously.

To mitigate these risks, we implement a multi-layered approach to security, including:

• Encryption: We encrypt your personal information in transit and at rest using industry-standard encryption algorithms. This ensures that even if unauthorized individuals gain access to your data, they will not be able to read or understand it.
• Access Controls: We implement strict access controls to limit who can access your personal information. Only authorized employees who need to know your information to perform their job duties have access to it.
• Regular Security Audits: We regularly conduct security audits to identify and address any vulnerabilities in our systems and processes.
• Employee Training: We provide our employees with regular security training to ensure they understand their role in protecting your personal information.
• Incident Response Plan: We have a comprehensive incident response plan in place to quickly and effectively respond to any security incidents that may occur.

While we take all reasonable steps to protect your personal information, it’s important for you to be aware of the inherent risks associated with sharing personal information online. You should take steps to protect your own information, such as using strong passwords and being cautious about what information you share online.

By working together, we can create a safe and secure environment for the exchange of personal information.
