Links to Other Sites

We may offer links to partners’ websites. We make the decision to provide links to these sites based on the quality of information provided at the time the links are enabled, and we make every effort to monitor the continuing quality of content provided on these sites. However, these external sites are not subject to this Privacy Policy. Further, the Tecnovos has no control over the content of these sites. The data collected and shared by such third-party websites is governed by their concerned privacy policy, which we do not exercise any control over. Accordingly, please consult the privacy policies on these sites before you provide them with any of your personal information.

Security Policy

We follow generally accepted standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and once it is received. If you have any questions about the security of your personal information, you can contact us at [insert].

The Tecnovos takes strong steps to safeguard your personal information through vigorous physical, electronic and operational policies and practices. All data is considered highly confidential. Data can only be read or written through defined service access points, the use of which is password-protected. The physical security of the data is achieved through a combination of network firewalls (there is no direct communication allowed between the database server and the Internet) and servers with hardened operating systems, all housed in a secure facility. Access to the system, both physical and electronic, is controlled and sanctioned by a high-ranking manager.

Session Time-outs

We also employ session time-outs to protect your account. You will be logged out of the site automatically after a specified period of inactivity. This time-out feature reduces the risk of others being able to access your account if you leave your computer unattended.

Passwords

We require the use of numbers in your password. We have also instituted secure steps by which you can regain access to your account should you forget your password, including the use of a security question. Your password is not known to any employee or third party with whom we may partner, and we will never ask for your password as a means of identifying yourself. You should never share your password with anyone, and if you ever receive an e-mail purporting to come from the Tecnovos that asks for your password, you should immediately report this development at [insert].

What You Can Do

In addition to our own substantial efforts, you can take several precautions to protect the security of your computer and personal information. For instance, you can start by using a well-chosen password. You should avoid using any information that others can easily learn about you, such as a family member’s name or birthday, and you can also use special characters in place of letters. We also recommend that you change your password frequently. You can also install and regularly update antivirus and firewall software to protect your computer from external attacks by malicious users. When you are finished with a session on our site, be sure that you log out and close the browser window.

To protect your account, we send automatic notifications confirming certain actions taken on your account, such as changes to a password or external linked account. We do this for your own protection so that you can be sure no one else is making changes to your account without your knowledge. However, the security offered through these notifications can be undermined if other people have access to your e-mail account. Therefore, you might consider restricting access to the e-mail account you registered with on this site and/or changing your password on that e-mail account frequently.

If you use a computer that is accessed by other people, such as in a public library or Internet cafe, we recommend that you take special precautions to protect the security of your account and personal data. When you are finished using our site, you should log out completely, then close the browser window and clear the browser’s cache files. You should also be aware of fraudulent attempts to gain access to your account information known as “phishing.” Phishing is a tactic used by scammers in which unsuspecting people are brought to a website by a genuine-looking e-mail purporting to be from a legitimate company. The phony or “spoof” e-mail takes the person to a website that looks legitimate but in fact is not. Either in the e-mail itself or on this fake site, scammers will ask for login information to gain access to people’s accounts and withdraw their money. The Tecnovos will never ask you for your login information in the context of any e-mail. In general, you can protect yourself against phishing by never providing personal or login information via e-mail—instead, go the website directly.

We May Make Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy Policy to reflect changes to our information practices. If we make material changes, we will notify you by mail (sent to the e-mail address specified in your account) or by means of notice on this website prior to the change becoming effective. We encourage you to periodically review this page for the latest information on our privacy practices.
