– Personalize your experience (your information helps us respond more effectively to your specific needs). – Enhance our website (we continually strive to improve our offerings based on information and feedback from you). – Improve customer service (your information helps us respond more effectively to your customer service requests and support needs). – Process transactions. – Administer contests, promotions, surveys, or other site features. – Send periodic emails.
Where and When Is Information Collected from Customers and End Users?
Long Hours Translations will collect personal information that you submit to us. We may also receive personal information about you from third parties as described above.
How Long Do We Keep Your Information?
We retain your information only as long as necessary to provide Long Hours Translations services to you and fulfill the purposes described in this policy. This also applies to anyone with whom we share your information and who carries out services on our behalf. When we no longer need to use your information and there is no legal or regulatory obligation to keep it, we will either remove it from our systems or depersonalize it to the extent that it can no longer identify you.
How Do We Protect Your Information?
We employ various security measures to maintain the security of your personal information when you place an order or access, submit, or enter your personal information. We offer the use of a secure server. All sensitive/credit information you supply is transmitted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology and then encrypted into our Payment gateway provider’s database. This information is accessible only to those authorized with special access rights to such systems and is required to keep the information confidential. After a transaction, your private information (credit cards, social security numbers, financials, etc.) is never stored on file. While we implement reasonable efforts to protect your personal information, neither people nor security systems are infallible, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. If applicable law imposes a non-disclaimable duty to protect your personal information, you agree that intentional misconduct will be the standard used to measure our compliance with that duty.
Could My Information Be Transferred to Other Countries?
Long Hours Translations is incorporated in Singapore. Information collected via our website, through direct interactions with you, or from the use of our help services may be transferred from time to time to our offices or personnel, or to third parties, located throughout the world. This information may be viewed and hosted anywhere in the world, including countries that may not have laws regulating the use and transfer of such data. By using any of the above, you voluntarily consent to the trans-border transfer and hosting of such information.
Is the Information Collected Through the Long Hours Translations Service Secure?
We take precautions to protect the security of your information. We have physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to help safeguard, prevent unauthorized access, maintain data security, and correctly use your information. However, neither people nor security systems are foolproof, including encryption systems. In addition, people can commit intentional crimes, make mistakes, or fail to follow policies. Therefore, while we use reasonable efforts to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. If applicable law imposes any non-disclaimable duty to protect your personal information, you agree that intentional misconduct will be the standard used to measure our compliance with that duty.
Update or Correction of User Information
The rights you have to request updates or corrections to the information Long Hours Translations collects depend on your relationship with Long Hours Translations. Personnel may update or correct their information as detailed in our internal company employment policies.
Customers have the right to request the restriction of certain uses and disclosures of personally identifiable information. You can contact us to (1) update or correct your personally identifiable information, (2) change your preferences regarding communications and other information you receive from us, or (3) delete the personally identifiable information maintained about you on our systems (subject to the following paragraph), by canceling your account. Such updates, corrections, changes, and deletions will not affect other information we maintain or information we have provided to third parties in accordance with this Privacy Policy before such update, correction, change, or deletion. To protect your privacy and security, we may take reasonable steps (such as requesting a unique password) to verify your identity before granting you access to your profile or making corrections. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your unique password and account information at all times.
Please be aware that it is not technically possible to remove each and every record of the information you have provided to us from our system. The need to back up our systems to protect information from inadvertent loss means that a copy of your information may exist in a non-erasable form that will be difficult or impossible for us to locate. After promptly receiving your request, all personal information stored in databases we actively use and other readily searchable media will be updated, corrected, changed, or deleted as soon as reasonably and technically practicable.
