Technical and organizational measures – how do we protect and store your data?

Data security

To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the correct use of Data, we have put in place appropriate physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the Data we collect. Some of the steps we take are: placing confidentiality requirements on our staff and service providers; destroying or permanently anonymizing Personal Data if it is no longer needed for the purposes for which it was collected. Skyline will comply with applicable laws in the event of any breach of security, confidentiality or integrity of your Personal Data and, where we consider appropriate or where required by applicable law, notify you via email, text or conspicuous posting on our website in the most expedient time possible and without unreasonable delay, in so far as it is consistent with (i) legitimate needs of law enforcement, or (ii) any measures necessary to determine the scope of the breach and restore the reasonable integrity of the data system.

Skyline’s DataMiner Cloud Services are hosted by Microsoft Azure. For further information on how Microsoft protects your Data, please consult Microsoft’s terms that can be found on their website.

Confidentiality

Skyline shall not disclose Personal or Metric Data to any person or entity except Permitted Recipients and shall not permit Personal Data to be Processed by any person or entity except Permitted Recipients. “Permitted Recipients” are Skyline Communication’s current employees, affiliates and third-party service providers who both (a) have a need to know Personal or Metric Data; and (b) have agreed in writing with Skyline to process and maintain the confidentiality of Personal and Metric Data.

Personnel security

Skyline personnel are required to conduct themselves in a manner consistent with the company’s guidelines regarding confidentiality, business ethics, appropriate usage, and professional standards. Personnel are provided with security training. Personnel handling Metric and Personal Data are required to complete additional requirements appropriate to their role (e.g., certifications). Skyline’s personnel will not process Metric or Personal Data without authorization.

Subprocessors security

Before onboarding subprocessors, Skyline conducts an audit of the security and privacy practices of subprocessors to ensure subprocessors provide a level of security and privacy appropriate to their access to data and the scope of the services they are engaged to provide. Once Skyline has assessed the risks presented by the subprocessor, the subprocessor is required to enter into appropriate security, confidentiality and privacy contract terms.
