Data Retention Policy

Retention Requirements

defined in this data privacy policy.

• Website visitor data will be retained as long as necessary to provide the service
requested/initiated through the Hreflang Builder website.

• Website URLs and XML sitemaps will be retained based on the project refresh rate and/or the duration of their Hreflang Builder subscription. Once the subscription expires all files are permanently removed from the application.

• Financial information will not be retained longer than is necessary to process consulting or subscription transactions.

• Personal data of subgrantees, subcontractors and vendors will be kept for the duration
of the contract or agreement.

• Employee data will be held for the duration of employment and then two years after
the last day of employment.

• Data associated with employee wages, leave and pension shall be held for the period
of employment plus 5 years.

Data Duplication – Hreflang Builder seeks to avoid duplication in data storage whenever possible, though
there may be instances in which for programmatic or other business reasons, it is necessary for data to be held in more than one place. This policy applies to all data in Hreflang Builder’s possession, including duplicate copies of data.

Data Destruction

Data destruction ensures that Hreflang Builder manages the data it controls and processes it in an efficient and responsible manner. When the retention period for the data as outlined above expires, Hreflang Builder will actively destroy the data covered by this policy. If an individual believes that there exists a legitimate business reason why certain data should not be destroyed at the end of a retention period, he or she should identify this data to
his/her supervisor and provide information as to why the data should not be destroyed. Any exceptions to this data retention policy must be approved by Hreflang Builders’s executive leaders in consultation with legal counsel. In rare circumstances, a litigation hold may be issued by legal counsel prohibiting the destruction of certain documents. A litigation hold remains in effect until released by legal counsel and prohibits the destruction of data subject to the hold.

Security

Our site has security measures in place to protect against the loss, misuse, and alteration of the information under our control.  Our user access management system uses an SSL secure server with digital certificates and all personal information is fully encrypted during all transactions.

Please note, however, that no data transmission over the Internet is completely secure. As a result, while we attempt to protect your personal information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you provide to us and you transmit such information to us at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission we attempt to ensure the security of your personal information on our systems.

Password Protection: You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password and account and are fully responsible for all activities that occur using your password or account. Please notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your password or account or any other security breach. Hreflang Builder will not be liable for any loss that you may incur as a result of any third party’s use of your password or account, either with or without your knowledge. You may not use anyone else’s password at any time.
