ISO/IEC 27001

ISO/IEC 27001 is a compliance framework that establishes Information Security Management System (ISMS) standards to identify and manage information risks through a comprehensive set of company-wide processes and controls. Additionally, ISMS embodies principles of continuous improvement to keep abreast with changes in the threats landscape to address them proactively.

ISO/IEC 27001 requires that management:

  • Systematically examine the organization's information security risks, taking account of the threats, vulnerabilities, and impacts;
  • Design and implement a coherent and comprehensive suite of information security controls and/or other forms of risk treatment (such as risk avoidance or risk transfer) to address those risks that are deemed unacceptable; and
  • Adopt an overarching management process to ensure that the information security controls continue to meet the organization's information security needs on an ongoing basis.

If we provide services to your organization, your organization may send us information about you. This may include information such as your name, work address, e-mail address, job title, telephone number, fax number and information about your interests in and use of various products, programs, and services. We will use this information in order to provide the services we have agreed with your organization. We will process this information in order to perform the contract agreed between us and your organization. It is also important for us to have sufficient information to perform our services and administer our business effectively.

We use this automatically-collected information to improve the design and content of our site and our software and services. We may also use this information in the aggregate (i.e. in a way that does not identify you) to analyze usage of our site, software and services, including through our partners and vendors. We may also use this information to provide advertisements to you and for our own marketing purposes.

Many of our web pages use 'cookies'. Cookies are text files we place in your computer's browser to store your preferences.

If you reject our site's cookies, or have turned cookies off in your browser, you will still be able to use the site, but you may find that the site does not function optimally or that certain aspects of its functionality are impaired.

Where Cirata receives personal information from its subsidiaries, affiliates or other entities in the EEA or Switzerland, Cirata will use that information in accordance with the notices those entities provided to the individuals to whom that personal information relates, and the choices made by those individuals.

Communications about our services

If you have registered an account with us (either on your own behalf or on behalf of an organization), we may use your personal data to provide you with certain communications such as service announcements and administrative messages. These communications are considered part of the services that you (or your organization) have requested from us and you cannot opt out of these emails.

Disclosing information to third parties Service providers

We will share your personal information with our trusted third-party service providers where we need to do so in order to provide you (your organization) with the services you have requested, or where necessary for our legitimate business administration purposes. Such third parties include our payment processor; the company that provides our client record management tools; our mailing list administration software; our lead management service provider; our partners and vendors who make our software and services available to you and your organization.

In accordance with the law; Protection of Cirata’s rights

On rare occasions, we may release personal data when we believe in good faith that release is necessary to comply with the law, regulation or legal request; to enforce or apply our conditions of use and other agreements; to protect national security; or protect the rights, property, or safety of Cirata, our employees, our users, or others, including to prevent fraud or abuse.

We may share with third parties, anonymized information in the aggregate for the purpose of improving the Service and for business and administrative purposes. We do not sell, trade or rent your personal information to third parties.

Business transfers

In some cases, we may choose to buy or sell assets. In these types of transactions, customer information is typically one of the business assets that are transferred. If Cirata or substantially all of its assets were acquired (such as through a merger or acquisition), or in the unlikely event that Cirata goes out of business or enters bankruptcy or is dissolved or otherwise reorganized, customer information would be one of the assets that is transferred to or acquired by a third party. In any of these events, we consider that it would be in the legitimate interests of Cirata (or our creditors or transferee(s)) that the relevant customer information be transferred.

Onward transfers

We may permit certain trusted third party companies and individuals to access your information in connection with their performance of services to help us maintain, operate, analyze, and improve the Service, including but not limited to data storage, maintenance services, database management, web analytics, payment processing, and improvement of the Service’s features. These third parties may have access to your personal information only for purposes of performing these tasks on our behalf. Cirata obtains assurances from these third parties that they will safeguard personal information consistently with this Policy. Appropriate assurances are obtained under contract obligating the third party to provide at least the same level of protection as is required by the relevant Privacy Shield Framework Principles and the GDPR. These contracts will require the third party to notify Cirata if the third party determines that it cannot meet its contractual obligations regarding data use and data protection. Cirata complies with the Privacy Shield Principles for all onward transfers of personal data from the EU and Switzerland, including the onward transfer liability provisions.

Data storage, security and transmission

Cirata takes reasonable precautions to protect personal information in its possession. Cirata has put in place appropriate physical, technical and administrative safeguards to secure the information from loss, misuse, unauthorized access or disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Cirata has in place appropriate physical, technical and administrative safeguards to: (a) ensure the confidentiality, integrity, availability and resilience of processing systems and services; (b) restore the availability and access to personal data in the event of a physical or technical incident; and (c) test, assess and evaluate the effectiveness of the security measures.

Agents and contractors of Cirata who have access to personal information are required to protect this information in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Notice by, for example, not using the information for any purpose other than to carry out the services they are performing for Cirata. Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the Internet is not completely secure. Although we take appropriate measures to safeguard against unauthorized disclosures of information, we cannot guarantee the security of your data, and unauthorized entry or use, hardware or software failure, and other factors, may compromise the security of user information at any time.
