Trade Wings collects only that Personally Identifiable Information that you provide. While Trade Wings may gather market data from other resources, the scope of Trade Wings' knowledge of Personally Identifiable Information which is based upon your use of its site is entirely up to you. The information which you decide to provide at the Site allows Trade Wings to improve its efforts to help support your site usage, and to analyze site usage statistically, to improve content and product offerings, and to customize the site's content, layout and services. Moreover, for these purposes, Trade Wings uses your personal information only on an aggregated basis, without the use of any information that identifies you personally.
Disclosure
As a general rule, Trade Wings will not share, rent, sell or otherwise disclose any of your personal data except when your permission has been obtained. Please be aware that, despite our best intentions and the guidelines outlined in this Privacy Policy, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Moreover, Trade Wings may be legally obligated to disclose certain information to the government or to third parties under certain circumstances, such as illegal activity occurring on the Site. Trade Wings reserves the right to release Personally Identifiable Information to law enforcement or other government officials, as Trade Wings, in its sole and absolute discretion, deems necessary or appropriate.
Security Measures
When users submit sensitive information via the site, that information is protected both online and offline. To help protect the privacy of information you transmit through use of this site, Trade Wings uses industry-standard, secure server software that encrypts the information you enter before that information is sent to Trade Wings. In addition, Trade Wings uses standard industry practice to protect all the visitor information it collects against unauthorized access. However, you should keep in mind that both the site and Trade Wings' offerings operate by means of software and hardware equipment which constitute its networks, any component of which may, from time to time, require maintenance, or experience problems or breaches of security beyond Trade Wings' control.
Trade Wings has a business-to-business Web service which serves the supply chain needs of the entire high-tech industry. A great deal of information is hosted and collected by Trade Wings, which information Trade Wings considers extremely valuable. Thus, Trade Wings has developed and implemented a set of security policies and controls designed to protect its valuable information and systems. Our controls and security policies and measures are aimed at protecting and securing against damage to or loss of information, unauthorized access, or improper disclosure of proprietary information.
Our key security objectives include:
- Maintaining proper structures for the organization and management of information security;
- Requiring proper identification and authentication of users;
- Providing adequate protection for confidential or sensitive information, data, systems and transactions, and preventing or reducing the risk of unauthorized access;
- Safeguarding the accuracy and completeness of information and its associated processing methods;
- Requiring that the possessor of electronic information be able to prove his or her ownership or right to possess;
- Ensuring that origination and receipt of information cannot be denied, that completed transactions cannot be repudiated, and that goods returned are supported by valid claims.
Trade Wings will maintain and update its security controls and policies on an ongoing basis.
