This Privacy Policy sets out how SafetyCulture Care* collects, stores, uses, and discloses personal information.
Where required by law, we’ll provide you with privacy information (in the form of a Privacy Notice or other privacy disclosure documentation) which is specific to the products or services you want to obtain from us, or specific to your dealings with us.
What information we collect and why we collect it.
How we use that information.
The choices we offer, including how to access and update information.
We’ve tried to keep it as simple as possible, but if you’re not familiar with terms like cookies, IP addresses and browsers, then read about these key terms first. Your privacy matters to us, so if you have any questions, contact us.
Personal information is information or an opinion about an identified individual, or an individual who is reasonably identifiable:
whether the information or opinion is true or not; and
whether the information or opinion is recorded in a material form or not.
People have different privacy concerns. Our goal is to be clear about what information we collect, so that you can make meaningful choices about how it is used and control who you share information with. By providing personal information to us, you consent to us collecting, holding, using and disclosing your personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. You do not have to provide personal information to us, however, if you do not, it may affect your use of this Site or the products and/or services offered on or through it.
You may also set your browser to block all cookies, including cookies associated with our services, or to indicate when a cookie is being set by us. However, it’s important to remember that many of our services may not function properly if your cookies are disabled.
We collect information to provide better services to all of our customers and partners – from figuring out basic stuff like your name and contact details (including your address), to more complex things like details of any property or business being insured.
For some policies or as part of our claims handling process, we may also collect and maintain sensitive information about you. This may include information about your professional associations and any criminal convictions you may have.
There are some circumstances where you can deal with us anonymously, such as when you are only looking for general information about one of our products or services. We collect information in the following ways:

We will continue to ensure the confidentiality of any personal information and give affected users notice (for example, via a message to the email address associated with your account) before personal information is transferred or becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
We may share aggregated, non-personally identifiable information publicly and with our partners – like publishers, advertisers or connected sites. For example, we may share information publicly to show trends about the general use of our services. This could also include government bodies, industry groups, insurers and educational/training facilities.
We have put in place robust measures regarding the security of the information we collect and store about you (including through the use of network and database security measures) and will use our reasonable endeavours to protect your personal data from unauthorised access to or unauthorised alteration, disclosure or destruction.

We have multiple authentication and access control measures to ensure data is only accessed by authorised personnel.
We may enforce strong encryption of all data at rest through the use of the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES-256).
The transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure.

Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.
