The Way We Use Information

The information that is stored for the lifetime of the database unless you request that it be removed. The information you provide us about yourself will be shared with eRT employees to the extent necessary to accommodate your request.

Finally, unless otherwise excepted below, we would not use your personally identifiable information provided to us online for purposes other than those you requested without also providing you an opportunity to agree or otherwise limit such unrelated purposes.

Your Privacy Choices

eRT will offer individuals the opportunity to choose (opt out) whether their personal information is to be disclosed to a third party or is to be used for a purpose that is incompatible with the purpose(s) for which it was originally collected or subsequently authorized by the individual.

Transferring your information to a third party

eRT may provide your information to third parties such as clients for whom we work, affiliates, vendors, or to regulatory agencies; but your information will always be protected under the terms of this Privacy Policy. This will be achieved by first ascertaining that the third party will provide the same level of privacy protection as described in this Privacy Policy. If it becomes known that a third party organization which has received personal information is using or disclosing it a manner contrary to this Policy, eRT will take reasonable steps to prevent or stop this use or disclosure.
How your information is secured

eRT employs reasonable precautions to prevent your personal information from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration or destruction. We also take reasonable steps to ensure your information is reliable for its intended use, accurate, complete and current. This is achieved by storing your information in a secure electronic database that is a component of a computer system that has physical, electronic and supervisory procedures in place to ensure compliance with all electronic records regulations.
