{S³} Privacy Statement

Systems Security Services, Inc. is highly sensitive to the privacy interests of its clients, business partners and Independent Contractors, and believes that the protection of those interests is one of its most significant responsibilities. In acknowledgment of its obligations, Systems Security has adopted the following Privacy Code applicable to all confidential information it acquires in the course of its business:

Acquisition and Retention of Information. We do not acquire any more information about clients than is required by law or is otherwise necessary to provide a high level of service efficiently and securely; and we do not retain any such information longer than is necessary to meet these objectives.
Our Employees and Privacy. We train all of our employees and Independent Contractors about the importance of privacy. We give access to information about clients only to those employees who require it to perform their jobs, using the "Need-to-Know" basis rules of a Compartmentalized Security Model similar to that used by the United States Military.
Security Measures. We make access to privacy-sensitive information subject to rigorous procedural and technological controls, consistent with legal requirements and the demands of client service.
Disclosure to Third Parties. We will provide information about clients to third parties only if: (1) we are compelled to do so by order of a duly-empowered governmental authority or Court of Competent Jurisdiction, against which action we will defend; (2) we have the express permission of the client; or (3) it is necessary to process financial transactions in the course of providing our services.
"Referrals". Potential clients requesting referrals are encouraged to consider carefully our need for confidentiality. Ask yourself if you would want to be on an open referral list of firms/persons having received our security services, and the ramifications of this. For this reason, we will only provide referrals in rare instances, and only after a fully executed Non-Disclosure and retainer have been exchanged, and only those clients that have expressly authorized themselves to this list will be contacted. There are no exceptions to this policy.
Right to Know. Our clients have the right to know what information we keep about them and how that information is being used; and they have the right to have any inaccurate information corrected or deleted.
Opt Out. Systems Security does not, at any time, send unsolicited electronic communications, and therefore does not have need for an Opt Out mechanism.
Privacy and Our Business Partners. When we make our technology or services available to business partners, we will not share more information than is necessary, and we will make every effort to assure, by legal agreement and otherwise, that they use our technology and information in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Code.
Independent Contractors have the right to expect the same high level of privacy and confidentiality that our clients do. At no time will Systems Security divulge to any third parties any information with regard to Independent Contractors unless forcibly compelled to do so by a Court of Competent Jurisdiction, against which action we will defend.
