By contractual agreement, these providers will not use or share your data for any purposes outside the agreement, and only hold the data in line with our policy on data retention. 

​

There are many features on this website for which no registration is required, so we employ other methods to collect information that we use to improve our communications and services to you. We use different types of cookies and other technologies (such as “pixel tags,” “web beacons,” “clear GIFs,” links in emails, JavaScript, device IDs assigned by Google or Apple, or similar technologies) to collect this information.

 

If you want to remove or block Cookies from your device at any time, you can update your browser settings (consult your browser's "help" menu to learn how to remove or block Cookies). See Cookie Use below for more information on how we use cookies to make our site more interesting, useful, and targeted to your interests. 

​

Protection and Storage of Your Personal Data:

Intertrade Services continues to work on implementing reasonable technical and administrative measures to safeguard and prevent any unauthorized processing of your personal data. This includes but is not limited to the combined use of physical and technical access controls, encryption, secure transmission, data minimization, and consolidation on our systems.  We assure you that third-party entities that process your personal data on our behalf are in full accord with privacy regulations. Intertrade Services will store your data for as long as necessary for the purpose it was collected and regulatory requirements. Obsolete and useless data will be securely destroyed. However, while we use all reasonable efforts to protect your personal information, no method of transmitting or storing electronic data is ever completely secure, and therefore we cannot warrant or guarantee that such information will never be accessed, used, or released in a manner that is inconsistent with this policy.

​

Links to Other Sites:

We may provide links on our website to other sites we think you will enjoy. We are not responsible for such external content; these sites operate independently of Intertrade Services and have established their own privacy and security policies. We encourage you to be very aware when you leave our site and to read these policies at any site you visit.

​

Children's Privacy:

Our website is a general audience site, and we do not knowingly collect information about children. Should a child whom we know to be under 13 makes known to their personally identifiable information, we will use that information only to respond directly to that child to inform them that we must have parental consent before receiving their personally identifiable information.

It is your right to receive a copy of all or some of the PII that we currently retain on you. To do so, simply reach out to the Intertrade Services Data Protection Office at the information in the Contact Us section below.

 

We will respond to your request within 72 hours and do our best to accurately accommodate the request within 30 days of receipt.

​

It is your right to lodge an objection to the processing of your Personal Data if you feel the “grounds relating to your particular situation” apply. You may also execute your right to be forgotten by contacting us at the details below. We will honor and respect all reasonable requests and comply within regulations.

​

Data Portability:

Aside from your right to receive the Personal Data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, you also have the right to request that we securely transmit that data to another controller without extended delay as long as the processing was based on consent or on a contract, and processing is executed by automated means

​

Changes in this Privacy Notice:

We may amend this Privacy Notice at any time as our needs to process Personal Data change in alignment with new processes. If we make any material changes in the way we collect, use, and/or share your personally identifiable information, we will notify you by sending you an email at the last email address that you provided us and/or by prominently posting notice of the changes on the websites covered by this Privacy Notice. In any event, changes to this Privacy Notice may affect your consented use of personally identifiable information that you provided us prior to our notification to you of the changes.
