Purpose of this privacy policy

In short, this Privacy Policy is intended to inform users of our website about our practices regarding the security of the personal data we collect.

Who we share personal data with

 

Employees

Moreau may disclose certain personal information in its possession to a member of its staff who has the authority to receive it and when the information is necessary for the performance of its duties.

 

Third Parties

We only share your personal information with third parties who have a business relationship with us and who are committed to treating your data with the same level of confidentiality and respect as we do. These third parties may include service partners, technology solution providers, and professionals engaged to assist us in providing our services.

We may share user data with third-party partners only to help us achieve the purposes set out in this policy (see “How We Use Personal Data” section). Third parties are not able to access user data beyond what is reasonably necessary.

It is important to note that we will never sell your personal information to third parties.

 

How long we store personal data

Personal data collected on our website is subject to a retention schedule, so it will be stored for a maximum of 14 months in our systems.

 

How we protect your personal data

The personal information we collect is stored in a secure computer environment.

We ensure the security of your confidential information by integrating the appropriate technologies according to the best practices used at the time of collection.

While we take all reasonable precautions to ensure that our user data is secure and that users are protected, there is always the risk of harm. The Internet as a whole can be, at times, insecure and therefore, we are unable to guarantee the security of user data beyond what is reasonably practical.
