If we are required by our clients to collect either PII or non-personal information we will do so while on Site with the client complying with their data security measures. If any part of this data should be required to leave the clients’ Site, it will only do so on a Bitlocker encrypted machine which will also have password protection.
We require all of our client facing employees to regularly remove any client information including both PII and non-personal information. We also practice a six month maximum document retention policy.
